The United States would "seriously consider abstaining" should the United Nations Security Council pass a resolution condemning Israel's housing construction in East Jerusalem, the BBC reported on Sunday.

That message was passed during a meeting between a senior U.S. official and Qatari Foreign Minister Hamad Bin Jasim Al Thani, a diplomatic source told the BBC.
That means the US will block/veto the UN from stopping the war crimes of Israel. Too politically strong? That's what it basically means. By abstaining, nothing will be done. That's a shame.

Once a crime committed, twice a crime watched.
