 #bccd1 which condemns our close friend

 ,resolution #bccd1 which attempts to   
prejudge the basis for negotiations1    
predetermine the outcome of             
negotiations1 and dictate terms and     
conditions on this issue1 was an

,resolution #bccd falsely claims that   
,israel's sovereignty over the eastern  
part of ,jerusalem and ,jewish          
communities in the ,west ,bank are      
illegal under international law1 and

,resolution #bccd will help to          
strengthen the ,palestinian diplomatic1 
economic1 and legal warfare campaign    
against ,israel1 particularly because of
 a paragraph that calls upon states to  
make a distinction in their dealings    
with ,israel between pre-#aifg ,israel  
and ,israel beyond the #aifg lines1     
encouraging boycotts1 divestments1 and
