Team Obama has done the right thing,-- even if for the wrong reason, and vetoed a repugnant Islamofascist UNSC resolution that sought to condemn Israelis for building and living in their own land of Judea, Samaria, and their capital city of Jerusalem.
The U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Susan Rice [John Bolton-you are missed!], did a good job in articulating a clueless and wrong reason for the veto based on falsehoods:
"Rice said the United States did not want the veto to be "misunderstood" as support for continued Israeli settlement construction."
[Support for Israel's right to live and build in their own land of Judea, Samaria, and their capital city of Jerusalem, would have have been the correct reason for exercising the veto.]
"We reject in the strongest terms the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity," Rice said. "For more than four decades, Israeli settlement activity in territories occupied in 1967 has undermined Israel’s security and corroded hopes for peace and stability in the region. Continued settlement activity violates Israel’s international commitments, devastates trust between the parties, and threatens the prospects for peace."
[All of what Rice said above is absolute hogwash]
[And we the people reject in the strongest terms your unwillingness acknowledge the legal legitimate rights of Israelis in their own historic homeland.]

And _Bama claims he is not muslim
I’m afraid that the Moslem-In-Chief is just not yet ready to fully reveal himself.
Yet.
Prayers for Israel, I do believe that somewhere, somehow, she will be betrayed by the US. I hope not.
So they vetoed the rebuke, and then rebuked them anyway. Obama is schizophrenic.
“The Status of Palestine/Land of Israel
and Its Settlement Under
Public International Law”
http://www.acpr.org.il/ENGLISH-NATIV/issue1/einhorn-1.htm
“This paper discusses the establishment of Israel, the state of the Jewish people, west of the Jordan River. It shows that the Arab claim that there is a legal right to a separate Arab state to be established in Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip (in Hebrew acronym – “Yesha”), whereas Jews are forbidden by public international law precepts from settling there, and the further claim that all Arabs who can trace their origins to pre-1967 Israel have a right to return to Israel, have no basis in international law.”
