This is the first time that the United States has not supported Israel at the United Nations. It is surprising that in the Obama presidency, with all of Obama’s obvious hostility toward Israel, that it has taken this long. It is unlikely to be the last time that this happens.
“The United States Lowers Israel’s Diplomatic Shield at the United Nations,” by Colum Lynch, Foreign Policy, July 28, 2014 (thanks to Jerk Chicken):
Despite a history of rocky relations between U.S. President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Obama administration could largely be counted on to watch Israel’s back in the U.N. Security Council, where it succeeded for more than five years in blocking successive efforts by the Palestinians to gain more of the trappings of an independent state and to get the world body to formally censure Israeli settlement policies.
That changed after the stroke of midnight Sunday when, in the early minutes of Monday, July 28, the U.N. Security Council, with the backing of the United States, issued a formal “presidential statement” demanding that Israel and Hamas implement an “immediate and unconditional” cease-fire to end fighting that has left more than 1,000 Palestinians and 43 Israelis dead. The Palestinians say they will continue to seek Security Council support for a legally enforceable resolution demanding that Israel halt its military offensive in Gaza.

Jews treated Obama as their savior.. I hope they realize their mistake before it’s too late.
Which explains why The IDF is bombing relentlessly tonight. Their government now knows that they will have to take care of themselves because Obama is on the side of Hamas. Very sad.

Has Hamas responded yet?
Sellers was a funny guy...
Nazis are National Socialists - most Jews are socialists (statists). They just didn't believe ObaMao was a Muslim (Brotherhood).
Substitute Quisling for Neville Chamberlain
Unconditional or not, doesn’t really matter.
Hamas will violate it within 3-4 hours by firing more rockets, just like every other “cease-fire” so far.
Bammy called Bibi in the middle of the night and “demanded” that he institute an immediate unilateral cease fire. Bibi suggested that he go attempt an act of self reproduction.
The UN meeting was already scheduled, but Bammy thought he’d bolster his macho image (his WHAT???) by ordering Bibi around. Didn’t quite work the way he hoped it would.
Exactly right. Obie’s grandstanding blew up whatever hope we had of being an honest broker.
Yeah, they responded by blowing up a playground and part of their largest hospital with misdirected rocket fire.
Right , the only reason for this ceasefire is that Hamas is getting its ass handed to them. Stop the Israelis so the Islamonazis can regroup.

More likely Valerie put her foot down!
“unconditionL” means, of course, that the Israelis should send all their soldiers home and totally stand down while the paynim horde does what it will do.
Guess we need to keep our eyes out for nasty natural disasters on this side of the big pond :(
