Not unusual Smokey.. the US has vetoed more UN resolutions than I've ever had breakfasts - to the extent members can assume this is automatic.
Never actually counted, but since 2000 ish, there have been plenty vetos on the Israeli-Palestine issue alone. When you look at these, there are plenty reasons to doubt any intention to have peace in the Middle East. There have even been vetos on the "roadmap for peace".
