Oh, and about the depth of support our key allies have for Obama/Kerry …
British PM Theresa May Condemns Kerry’s Speech
A spokesman for the Prime Minister said: “We do not believe that the way to negotiate peace is by focusing on only one issue, in this case the construction of settlements, when clearly the conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians is so deeply complex.
Unfortunately it is a too convenient remark from the Brit PM. Why did they not anticipate the effect of their own vote in favor of the resolution condemning Israel? Israel has had the rug pulled out from under them as regards a negotiated settlement. We don’t think by having this comment the UK is being an honest broker, rather they are trying to have it both ways.
Australia is more consistent:
Australia: We Would Have Opposed That Anti-Israel UN Resolution
These are the current 15 members of the UN Security Council:
China, France, Russia, United Kingdom. United States of America, Angola, Egypt, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Senegal, Spain, Ukraine, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
As noted above, the UK is being obviously two-faced about the resolution. Why did they support it? And how about our “allies”, Japan, France (?), Ukraine (after Obama’s abandonment of them, why did they support his perfidy?), New Zealand (their leftist commitment makes their vote unsurprising), Egypt (after acceding to Trump’s request to pull their resolution, they turn around and support this). A number of these countries rely on the US for money and security. So, why would they support any Obama policy initiative at this stage of his tenure? They afraid of what he might do in the next 3 weeks?
I guess they makes sense.
Isn’t foreign affairs interesting? In your personal life, how would you relate to such behaviors in people you must interact with on a regular basis?

Kerry’s outrageous, deceitful speech caps off Obama’s diabolical betrayal of Israel
Kerry and Obama have emboldened Israel’s enemies in unimaginable ways. They lit the match lighting up the Middle East, they facilitated Iran’s nuclear program with billions of dollars, and now they seek Israel’s effective demise — a long-time Obama infatuation well before his ascendency to the presidency.
Apropos Obama’s and Kerry’s diligence with regards to effectuating long-term peace in the Middle East:
