Here are some cool demonstrators screaming at Ambassador Susan Rice about the awful Security Council veto after she came out of an NBC studio Sunday. Notice the big banners to end US aid to the country…
Haaretz says the U.S. has been embarrassed internationally by the vote, and the special relationship can’t go on much longer:
The Palestinians lost the vote, but achieved their goal: They exposed for all to see the international isolation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration and embarrassed the U.S. administration by revealing it as two-faced.
In explaining the veto decision, the U.S. ambassador to the UN, Susan Rice, denounced the “illegitimacy” of the settlements and stressed that Obama agreed with the resolution’s sponsors but had to oppose it for political reasons.
Once again, the American superpower appeared to lose some of its prestige and international standing in order to defend the Israeli settlement enterprise, which enjoys the support of powerful patrons in Congress.
