Was there a resolution re settlements last year? Granted, there are constant General Assembly resolutions attacking Israel ("Zionism is racism" etc.), but I don't know (and am Not Inclined to Google) how often the Security Council considers a resolution that Bibi's government opposes -- but which isn't actually contrary to US policy -- such as condemning new settlements.
But then again, to the GOP and certain Jewish groups* in the US, any disagreement with Bibi is anti-Semetism, so ...
*Like Trump's proposed ambassador to Israel, who calls Jewish groups opposed to Bibi "kapos" -- the term for the Jews who cooperated with the Nazis during the Holocaust.
