The UN and Israel

A resolution has been passed that says Israel cannot stay in Judea and Samaria with the US abstaining.
So What?
The reality on the ground is simple and mathematical.
There are a almost a million Jews (that will happen in a few years)
Those people will not go away and there is no place from them to go.
That is just a pragmatic concept that just cant go away.
The ideological abyss between Israel and the so called Palestinians is insurmountable.
Israel will NEVER withdraw from the old city of Jerusalem and the Palestinians have never hinted at giving up on having Jerusalem as their capital.
This resolution will equate the smallest Jewish outpost with the western wall. The negotiation process has never been more dead.
So now what?
Israel will add parts of Judea and Samaria to Israel.
It will happen while while Donald Trump is president of the US.
Israel would do well to add at least 500,000 Jews to Judea and Samaria in the next four years.
A million Jews in those areas will convince most about the impossibility of a Palestinian state.
A new wave of violence may happen but it cannot change things on the ground.
There is no place for so many Jews to go.
This resolution is the last gasp of those delusional people who believe in a Palestinian state.
It will never happen.
