The US move at the UN conference Friday came hours after Obama had declared in a speech at a Washington DC synagogue that the US would always stand by Israel. Obama pledged: “Our strategic partnership with Israel will remain, no matter what happens in the days and years ahead. And that’s why the people of Israel must always know America has its back, and America will always have its back.
