I've Been Thinking:The US proposed a resolution in the UN Security Council to condemn Hamas for their attack on Israel.
Unfortunately, the only vote in favor of the United States resolution was the United States.
The vote came on the heels of a Kuwaiti resolution condemning Israel for excessive force and asking for Palestinians to get international protection. The US vetoed that resolution.
It was a clear back and forth anti Israel - pro Israel set of resolutions.
Yet---
These resolutions illustrate how the UN Security Council has made huge strides. The United States is trying to level the playing field in the Security Council. They are trying to make certain that Israel gets a fair shake and these two resolutions are the proof.
