They can thumb their noses at the US – and the UN can assist them – and there will be no consequences whatsoever.

President Obama has no plans to cut U.S. aid to the Palestinian Authority following Thursday's statehood vote at the United Nations, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Friday.

Earnest told reporters traveling with the president aboard Air Force One that Obama has no plans to withdraw Palestinian aid and added that no consequences he can talk about are under consideration. The U.N. General Assembly voted 138-9 to recognize Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas's Palestinian Liberation Organization as a non-member observer state over firm objections from the United States and Israel.

Actions speak louder than words. Hopefully the majority of Jewish voters who gave their votes to Democrats this year will remember Israel next time they vote.
