Complete distortion of reality. The overwhelming majority of US vetoes of UN resolutions are on behalf of the continued existence of Israel, not humanitarian, social or resource issues. Time and again the UN seeks ever more insidious ways in which to bind the hand of Israel in its efforts to protect its people from waves of suicide bombers. The US won't allow the UN to emasculate Israel, however hard it tries.
