As long as we're cherry-picking:
A veto by the US – or any of the five permanent members of the council- would have killed it.
Speaking to the body after the vote, Susan Power, the US Ambassador to the United Nations, explained why the White House did not rise to defeat it.
“Further settlement activity is in no way necessary for the security of Israel,” she said.
Power said the White House stand on the issue was consistent with presidential policy going back to the Johnson administration.
“The U.S. has been sending the message that the settlements must stop, privately and publicly, for five decades,” she said.
It could have been vetoed by China, Russia, France or the UK, but Obama is "personally responsible". Uh huh. THANKS OBAMA! At least we've had the door opened to personally blame the President for literally anything.
