Obama May Stick it to Israel in the UN

This is not good:

The US is considering abstaining from a possible UN Security Council resolution against Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem, sources suggest to the BBC.

The possibility surfaced at talks in Paris last week between a senior US official and Qatar's foreign minister.

The official said the US would "seriously consider abstaining" if the issue of Israeli settlements was put to the vote, a diplomat told the BBC.

US officials in Washington have not confirmed the report.

In the past we would routinely veto resolutions like that. Israel must be feeling particularly alone these days, and that make her more likely to strike at her enemies.
