Well, it was actually the resolution that has no legal bindings. The security council resolution (the one that actually matters) failed, due to our veto power......
The American people (through our elected officials) passed a bill decades ago calling for this action. Every President since then has deferred our will by claiming some murky "diplomatic" exemption. Ask yourself this: what good has it done? Palestine still continues to carry out daily attacks on Israel, along with Hamas/Hezbollah/Iran.
Will the US boycott these countries? Or will we cut off aid?

There is still a lot of antisemitism around the world. What you see are the countries that aren't bigoted against the Jewish people Vs. the hateful countries. It's sad that WWII didn't teach the world anything.

I just crunched the numbers from 2016 (yah, I have no life) if we cut off all aid we stand to save $21,508,752,498, which seems kind of low maybe my calculator broke...
Of all the nations that voted against us only Iceland, Ireland and Norway receive no aid, but we will likely lose $863,206 from the Netherlands

" UK receives no charity from US. "
That is an Erroneous Statement . The United States accounts for the United Kingdom's largest single export market, buying $57 billion worth of British goods in 2007. Total trade of imports and exports between the United Kingdom and the United States amounted to the sum of $107.2 billion in 2007
That Trade Deal Sure Sounds Like U.S. Charity to me.........

UK voted against US.
UK receives no charity from US.
UK buys your military hardware and US gets Airstrip One.
It ain't charity or aid as most people regard aid and charity.

Your wrong the UK couldn't afford advanced weapons budgets but get full access to us military technology. Also get to cut back military expenses knowing US military helps defend the UK. Then the US also supplies the nuclear subs with strident something at the moment the UK is incapable of doing. The UK also receives benefits from US citizens visiting and spending huge amounts on tourism because many Americans assumed them to be a friend. 22.5 billion £ in 2016 is a huge boost to an economy. Losing the ally status for the UK would deeply effect their economy.

You guys are blowing this way out of proportion. It's one little vote. They disagree with us on something, they're not declaring war on us, and good heaven's they aren't even "unfriending" us. LOL
It's okay special snowflakes. LOL
AS you grow older, you'll learn that it's okay to have disagreements and that people that disagree with you can still be your friends. You'll also learn that you won't be right about everything. Some how in American society, we seem to think that once we reach the age of 18 we're magically right about everything. That's going to be a hard lesson for some of you to learn, you must accept that you are wrong sometimes.
Guatemala, Honduras, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau and Togo joined the U.S. voting against the resolution of condemnation.
Another 35 countries, including our closest neighbors, Mexico and Canada, as well as Argentina, Australia, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Romania, abstained.

Theresa May is so weak. She should be buildig the strongest relationship with the US she possibly can, because the EU is going to screw over the UK at EVERY opportunity - up to and including the possibility of a full military invasion in years to come.
The UK - more than ever - is totally f***** without the US as a strong ally.

You think EU would invade this country who has the best trained armed forces on air, land and sea?
We trade with America and we share many ideals and a language, we don’t have to agree with them on every issue
