White House: US 'to reevaluate' backing for Israel at UN
http://www.telegraph.co.uk ^ | 03/19/2015 | By Peter Foster

The Obama administration made an unprecedented threat to withdraw United States support for Israel at the United Nations on Thursday night after Benjamin Netanyahu cast doubt over his support for a two state solution.

In a sign of how deeply relations between Barack Obama and Mr Netanyahu have now been ruptured, the White House announced it would “re-evaluate” the American veto that has long blocked international efforts to win UN recognition for a two state solution.

“Steps that the United States has taken at the United Nations had been predicated on this idea that the two-state solution is the best outcome”, said Josh Earnest, the White House spokesman. “Now our ally in these talks has said that they are no longer committed to that solution. That means we need to re-evaluate our position in this matter, and that is what we will do moving forward.”

If the US carried out its threat it would be a grave blow to Mr Netanyahu after his election victory, forcing Israeli diplomats to review their own assumption that they can generally count on the superpower’s backing in the chamber of the Security Council.

He only has about 21 months left. Israel has thermonuclear and nuclear weapons, including submarine-based weapons. They can wait that long.

Israel will be toast. We knew the United Nations should be destroyed. Without US veto in the security council, Palestine will be recognized and the settlements will be removed.The republicrats in Congress will quiver in fear and do nothing. Until millions flood the streets, this maniac in the White House will have sway.

Israel lays claim to an ace-in-the-hole that no other country can. And I’m not referring to her nukes, if you catch my drift.

The WH is on thin ice here.

Man, Obama sure is a petulant child throwing a temper tantrum.
His plans to install his hand picked minion in Israel failed, so he will rage against Israel instead.

“Retribution for Bibi winning.”

Bingo! If the GOP had a spine they would impeach this boy and get him the hell out of our house.

The damage that he can/will do in the next two years will never be undone.

Yeah, Obaba will use the UN to impose a one-state solution — all Palestine, no Israel.

Hussein Obama is biting into Gen 12:3, thinking he is toughest thug there is - but the path he is on is one of serious curses. He must be Amalakite, and his name is going to be blotted out. Phew!
