Obama: U.S. Does Not Recognise 'Legitimacy of Continued Israeli Settlements' Obama's stark declaration, which drew applause, was coupled with a call for Palestinians to end their "incitement of Israel."

But it was the use of the U.N. forum to carry the settlement message to Israel that drew the most enthusiastic response on the floor -- and incredulous reaction outside its walls.
Obama just put Israel "on the chopping block," said former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton.
This does bode well for Israel or the USA. I have long thought that the UN had an anti-Israel and pro_Palestinian attitude and now it seems that Mr. Obama is biased as well.
In his first speech to the world body, Obama applied his campaign slogan to the international community and challenged the global community to step up and fix the world's problems both at home and abroad.
"The people of the world want change," he said, noting that "just as no nation should be forced to accept the tyranny of another nation, no individual should be forced to accept the tyranny of their own government."
Well, talk is cheap, Mr. President, but it's actions that count, and, so far, I don't approve of your actions on this, and many other issues.
