President Barack Obama has announced in a rare statement that he will not follow newly passed measures aimed at boosting the Israeli economy and strengthening ties between the United States and the Jewish state, according to a statement issued by the president.
Obama stated that while he would sign the new trade resolution, portions of which focus on combatting economic boycotts of Israel, he would not enforce certain pro-Israel provisions that order the United States to stop partnering with countries that support the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, or BDS, which aims to isolate Israel.
The president’s rejection of these provisions comes two weeks after the White House issued a separate statement expressing support for every provision of the trade bill except for those focusing on strengthening the U.S.-Israel relationship.
The Obama administration has repeatedly opposed efforts to fight the BDS movement over the past several months, with several senior officials expressing support for European efforts to explicitly label Jewish-made products produced in disputed areas of Israel.
Obama claimed in the statement that his administration does not back the BDS movement. However, he will not uphold parts of the new trade legislation that seek to combat the BDS-backed labeling of Jewish goods, which the Israeli government has described as anti-Semitic.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Is this a presidential prerogative, or is he yet again breaking the law?
He’s not even pretending anymore.
To my fellow Jewish FReepers:
Send this article to ALL of your relatives who are liberals, who voted for this abomination, and who are thinking of voting for Hillary or Bernie Sanders. Let them know that THIS is the face of modern Leftism - to SAY the right thing regarding Jews and Israel, but to LIE, AND THEN ACTUALLY DO THE WRONG THING.
They may not listen, or pay attention, but that is their problem - at least you will have done the right thing in your eyes, and in G-d's.
He’s right, we should concentrate on supporting countries with better civil rights records. You know, like Saudi Arabia, Cuba and Iran.
So, once again, Obama gets to enforce what HE thinks should be the law.
I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse,
Genesis 12:3
All the liberals I know are anti-Israel.
How can he sign a law, say upfront which sections he will ignore, and not be impeached?
Silly, rhetorical question.
When?
so he plans on signing into law a bill then not fallowing the law.
What an Asp!
(Psalm 140:3)
It’s not his decision anymore is it. But it’s a very good topic to nail Hillary - and Sanders - on
So what’s the news here? Obama is a Muslim. He supports the moozies. He supports, and always has the Socialists, the Euro Socialists, so what’s the news here?
S.S.D.D.
".......... More importantly, [Jacob] Bender here repeats the common and hysterical claim that "Muslims are the new Jews," which has been answered many times - as often as it has been asserted. Islamic apologist Karen Armstrong, Leftist "journalist" Jeffrey Goldberg, Iranian front group Board member Reza Aslan, Muslim Brotherhood-linked Congressman Keith Ellison, Nicholas Kristof, and Canadian Muslim leader Syed Sohawardy, among many others, have repeated it. The blazingly brilliant Daniel Greenfield takes it apart in this video.
And in 2014, Bill Maher noted: "Jews weren't oppressing anybody. There weren't 5,000 militant Jewish groups. They didn't do a study of treatment of women around the world and find that Jews were at the bottom of it. There weren't 10 Jewish countries in the world that were putting gay people to death just for being gay." Indeed, and no one is calling for or justifying genocide of Muslims now; there is no individual or group remotely comparable to the National Socialists in any genuine sense.
The late Christopher Hitchens also refuted this idea when writing a few years ago about the Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero: "'Some of what people are saying in this mosque controversy is very similar to what German media was saying about Jews in the 1920s and 1930s,' Imam Abdullah Antepli, Muslim chaplain at Duke University, told the New York Times. Yes, we all recall the Jewish suicide bombers of that period, as we recall the Jewish yells for holy war, the Jewish demands for the veiling of women and the stoning of homosexuals, and the Jewish burning of newspapers that published cartoons they did not like."
The purpose of this claim is to intimidate people into thinking that criticism of Islamic supremacism leads to the concentration camps, and thus there must be no criticism of Islamic supremacism. The unstated assumption is that if one group was unjustly accused of plotting subversion and violence, and was viciously persecuted and massacred on the basis of those false accusations, then any group accused of plotting subversion and violence must be innocent, and any such accusation must be in service of preparing for their subversion and massacre. It is simply a method to foreclose on any criticism of jihad terror and Islamic supremacism."...............
