the settlement question dates back to 1922. The LoN decided to allow European Jews the right to establish a sovereign state in the Palestine Mandate and proposed a 2-state solution, so eventually there would be a state created for immigrant Jews and a state for local palestinians.
Fundamental to any effort to achieve the 2-state requires Palestinians actually have some land. Settlements undermine any legitimate effort to succeed.It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that continued settlements is an implicit admission there will never be a 2-state.
The US should sustain any votes which condemn continued settlements in the West Bank.
