and other years too. This isn't about any law. It's about brown-nosing Netanyahu, now that significant US allies want to recognise the Palestinian state.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio blamed them for undermining peace efforts and for seeking "the unilateral recognition of a conjectural Palestinian state".

Bullshit. They are far more useful for peace efforts than Rubio and his fellow arse-lickers in the US Cabinet. They don't seek "unilateral" recognition; they seek recognition by everyone. And it's for a two state solution, ie full recognition of Israel too.
