Everyone has heard by now that Obama "threw Israel under the bus" or whatever expression you want to use, by refusing to veto Friday's UN resolution condemning settlements in the West Bank and other territories captured from the Palestinians. Indeed he did, but it's worse than that.
This is not a mere resolution of condemnation. This is a theoretically enforceable piece of international law that the UN has been trying to pass for decades, always coming up short because of the certainty - until Barack Obama - that the United States would veto the it. Now that it's been passed, Israel and its officials could be in serious jeopardy in a variety of ways.
