The law is not the same as justice

I just checked very fast out of my other social media because it is (not) astonishing how many people cannot criticize Israel without stampeding straight for the anti-Semitism, but what the hell is the U.S. doing blocking council statements and sessions in the UN? The previous administration were a bunch of Evangelical Christian Zionists who would have been glad to see molten glass from the river to the sea if it sped up their Rapture timetable, but I expected less Armageddon from the people I voted for. Unless there is some back-channel diplomacy at work with an actual chance of succeeding if given the extra time, I don't get it. I hope there is something obvious I am missing.
