Israel was, and this resolution was seen in some quarters as a rebuke to that nation. A fairly large fraction of Hillary's constituency was Jewish. She voted accoeding to their concerns, just as Sanders voted against the Brady Bill and for Lockheed Martin's F-35 and drones, both of which are weapons of mass destruction.

Foe the record, I don't like any of those votes. But if "constiuancy " is a valid defense of one candidate, it's equally valid for another.
