When asked by Borger about Obama's consideration of signing a U.N. resolution calling for a Palestinian state, McCain said it should be completely off the table.

"Of course he shouldn't be considering it. And, second of all, if he does that, then -- and it would be approved by the U.N., then the United States Congress would have to examine our funding for the United Nations," McCain said. "It would be a violation because of the President's anger over a statement by Bibi, by the prime minister of Israel. It would contradict American policy for the last at least 10 presidents of the United States."

Two state solution has been the basis of US ME policy for decades.

I have NO respect for McCain, who is obviously off-the-tracks ~ he signed the Cotton letter to Iran ~ and he still supports Sarah Palin too ~ :ey

The UN used to be an extension of the 5 permanent members' geo-political manipulations.
Now, not so much, so they've kinda lost interest.

interestingly enough, McCain and Chomsky agree on this, and there is no fiercer opponent of Israel than Chomsky.
