By
Brooklyn Assemblyman Charles Barron
spent Christmas Eve slamming the man who trounced him in a 2012 race
for the House: Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, who had asserted in a
television interview that the United States should have vetoed a United
Nations Security Council resolution calling for an end to Israeli
settlement activity in the West Bank.
On Friday, the 15-member Council adopted the resolution which
states that the establishment of Israeli settlements in Palestinian
territory occupied since 1967 have “no legal validity” and are a “major
obstacle” to a two-state solution by a vote of 14 in favor and a single
abstention: the United States, which in the past has unilaterally
blocked such measures. Jeffries, a black Democrat with a large Jewish
constituency, , described this a betrayal of a key ally by the Obama
administration—provoking a blistering approach from Barron, a former
member of the Black Panther Party who has criticized Israel and praised
Hamas.
The radical state lawmaker linked the congressman’s stance to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President-elect Donald Trump.
