I’m not alone. The recent shameful vote in the UN allowed by Samantha Power and President Obama was a hurtful event for Israel, and by extension for all Jewry. American Jews recognize the gravity of the betrayal, at both a practical level (it will be harder for Israel to negotiate peace with a weaker hand), and a philosophical level (if the largely Christian US won’t support Israel, what hope is there?). The backlash against the action (or inaction, as it was), has been widespread. While the Obama administration clearly anticipated some admonishment from Netanyahu, I think they are surprised at the loud disapproval they are hearing from both sides of the aisle in the United States. The noise won’t quiet down; it promises to get louder and leave a sour note on a Presidential legacy that has generally been positive.62:{"position":2,"content":"$63"} 64:{"position":3,"content":"
