After UN vote, Israel places hopes in Trump
Boston Globe ^ | Dec. 25, 2016 | By Josef Federman

Posted on 12/25/2016 6:04:32 PM PST by Innovative

The Israeli government’s furious reaction to the U.N. Security Council’s adoption of a resolution opposing Jewish settlements in occupied territory underscores its fundamental and bitter dispute with the international community about the future of the West Bank and east Jerusalem.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists that there is nothing wrong with his controversial policy of building Jewish towns in occupied areas that the Palestinians, with overwhelming world support, claim for their state. But Friday’s U.N. rebuke was a stark reminder that the rest of the world considers it a crime. The embattled leader is now placing his hopes in the incoming administration of Donald Trump, which is shaping up as the first major player to embrace Israel’s nationalist right and its West Bank settlements.

Huh? The rest of the world? It was the security counsel that voted. Not the rest of the world.

After the November 2016 vote, the United States places its hope in Donald Trump. The Clinton worshipers, the obama worshipers, the Anybody But Trumpers,and the Never Trumpers can go to hell. In reality the Never Trumpers, the Anybody But Trumpers, the Clinton Worshipers, and the obama worshipers are sameo, sameo. All the time obama was doing everything in his power to destroy the United States, they were as silent as a whore plying her trade in a church service. Once Donald came on the scene, their mouths were like the clatterbone on a duck’s ass. ,

The Nazis who want to deny the Jewish people homes in their own little country _ will (now have) failed. All they’ve done is prove what many of us knew about obama and the UN. They will all GTH and part of their eternal punishment will be to see how they’ve finally released the building cranes to do their jobs providing much - needed housing in Israel. Jerusalem no longer has any reason (not that they ever really did, imho) to try to appease the Nazi snakes. That policy only exacerbated israel’s housing shortage — you can’t appease a Snake anyway. At least not for long. Israel has a lot of “deferred” building to get caught up with now. Build, Bibi, build!

While it’s nice they are hoping for better from Trump than Obummber ... which isn’t setting the bad high ... the writer should hopefully realize that “hoping” in Trump or any mortal human is still placing your hope in the wrong guy and has been since the foundation of the world.

I don’t mean to sound Cross though. < ^ . ^ >

Absolutely. And US out of the UN. Not only do we save the wasted $$ we continue to throw at those filthy thieves and bandits, but we can use the property for high dollar condos.

And on January 20th, Obama, Hillary, Bill Clinton, Huma & Valerie Jarrett will remembered as diarrhea flushed down the toilet.

The rest of the world thinks Israel’s actions are a”crime”? Was it a crime for Jordan to invade in 1948 for the purpose of destroying Israel? Was it a crime for Jordan to annex everything at the conclusion of the war and expel the Jews? When did Jordan’s actions set the norm for boundaries in that area?

I don’t care what “The World” thinks. In 1939 “The World” sat back and gladly watched the Jews be exterminated.

I am a Christian - by choice. But some of my family were European Jews who had to deal with the European part of “The World”.

Baruch HaShem for Trump! If “The World” wants to back Islam, it can go to hell.

All previous US administrations, R and D, were supportive of Israel. Obama is the one who is anti-Israel.

Trump will just change it back to the historic relationship between the US and Israel.

I can’t imagine how Jews voted so overwhelmingly for Odungo...nor can I imagine what those same Jews are thinking right now.

There is such hate and genocide in the the countries that would like to get rid of Israel. They don’t just kill.. they tear a person apart.. they torture and then murder... they are out of control! Where in the world would a President of the United States side with those countries? Where in God’s name has our country become, to elect such a person who would do that! Where in the world would a news media side with that kind of country either?! Where are we in anything anymore!

I am not young.. I have lived to see a lot of change in my lifetime.. but there is nothing compared to what I see today as what seems to be, acceptance.. of a “religion” gone out of their minds. I know there have been bad dudes since the beginning of time.. but somehow, they were stopped and/or controlled by the people or another form of government that took control. Today, there are no governments/countries that say how horrible the terrorists “religion” is.. Oh, they want to get isis.. but the whole region is infested with hate and death to Israel and Christians. There would be no country who would side with us if they had a chance.. except Israel. I’m not even sure Great Britain would side with us if they thought we were weak enough.

So where are we in this age? What in the hell is the recourse for a “man” like obama and a news media that perpetuates the likes of him and his ideas. Trump will do all he can... and the media will be down his neck every step of the way. They (the left and the world) are on a collision course with death out there. I have grandkids I think about! what will they have! Even so, come Lord Jesus!

Where would we be with any of the other candidates, if they had won the nomination and were the President Elect today?
We were that close to extinction... we ARE that close if they have their way and keep hounding our President Elect Trump and his family... and he’s not cruising for an addtional 4 years of it.

To make distinctions, I think (hope) they mean a political hope. They indeed need to be counting on the Almighty.

IMHO... it’s a case of being too clever politically by half. God blessed Jews with brains. The devil told them to use those brains to think of the very worst thing they can to mess themselves up.
