        Correction: The piece entirely lacks superb observations. The article is classic propaganda.

        US has been pandering to Israel for 15+ years. Obama has at least 1 good (if symbolic) FP moment.

        It's amazing how the *entire rest of the world* is wrong, again and again, and Israel is always right.

        Interesting linguistic trick too: "The whole world is wrong" becomes "the UN has lost credibility".

        What no not at all. 57 resolutions made by UN on humanrights more than Saudi and North Korea combined

        fair point, but condemnation at the UN has no practical effect.
