The White House’s decision to break with decades of U.S. policy and allow the U.N. Security Council to condemn Israeli settlements is the culmination of years of bad blood between President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The decision won Obama criticism from across the political spectrum, and almost certainly wouldn't have been made if Hillary Clinton had won the presidential election.
It opened him up to condemnation from President-elect Donald Trump and the right, and could lead to a battle over U.S. funding for the U.N. in Congress.
But Obama's team decided it was worth it.

The UN’s ambulances used to carry suicide bombers to their targets in Israel. Why isn’t this organization sent packing? What a great piece of real estate for Trump to re-develop.

But Kerry said awhile back that there wasn't “any daylight” between him and Israel... whatever the heck that meant. So I guess that he is buddies with Israel so why turn on them now. /sarc

Obama broke with Israel because he’s a crypto-Muslim Taqiyya practicing POS!
erics.Definition: “Taqiyya is an Islamic juridical term whose shifting meaning relates to when a Muslim is allowed, under Sharia law, to lie.”

I bet one of the first things Trump does is to move the US embassy to Israel’s capital, Jerusalem.
