Also, under Obama, Israel realized that the U,S, could not be relied upon as an ally.
I guess after running most of them out of the country, after brutally oppressing them for centuries, they discovered that this maligned race is good for business, technology, art and all the rest. Maybe western Europe can wake up.
Funny.....Russia almost always votes against Israel on the UN Security Council.
The Soviet Union was actually the first country to recognize Israel back in 1948.
