The U.S. approval of the harsh language marks a subtle shift. Washington has traditionally tempered statements by the so-called “Quartet” of mediators with careful diplomatic language, but the diplomats said the U.S. in this case will align itself closer to the positions of the European Union, Russia and the United Nations, who emphasize Israel’s role in the Mideast impasse. …

Yeah, we don’t have enough trouble with the God of Israel.

Let’s make Him more upset. This is the result of unGodly men and women heading up worldwide governments.

Which is why Bible Prophecy will be fulfilled to the letter.

it’s not ‘settlements’ when you own the place

They were attacked, they kicked ass, and they claimed the land they won

The Muslim-in-chief is using the settlement issue as an excuse to cut ties with isreal, therefore cutting off military aid and weaponry to allow his Iranian buddies to destroy the country.

US is always tough on our allies and soft on our enemies. This is an example of that, but it will change under President Trump.

Well, neither, but rather the actions of various American administrations, “getting tough” and all that, regarding Israel’s national policies.

or al Qaeda (now partners with the Pentagon
whom they BOMBED), or Iran (now partners
with the Kerry-Iranian State Dept.,
or N. Korea, or any terrorist, anywhere.

Build, Israel, build! O has no right - and no business - trying to interfere with you building homes for your families and children. He is Satan’s representative, not the American peoples’ anyway.
