Security Council, where it succeeded for more than five years in blocking successive efforts by the Palestinians to gain more of the trappings of an independent state and to get the world body to formally censure Israeli settlement policies.

That changed after the stroke of midnight Sunday when, in the early minutes of Monday, July 28, the U.N. Security Council, with the backing of the United States, issued a formal "presidential statement" demanding that Israel and Hamas implement an "immediate and unconditional" cease-fire to end fighting that has left more than 1,000 Palestinians and 43 Israelis dead. The Palestinians say they will continue to seek Security Council support for a legally enforceable resolution demanding that Israel halt its military offensive in Gaza.

All he had to do was to listen to what he said long ago to come to that conclusion. The United States has been blessed by God because, as a Nation we have been friendly toward the Jews. Not perfect, but not the animosity shown today. God's promises hold true today just as they did thousands of years ago.

Well, it’s not like anyone is going to do anything about it.
He can do what he likes, while we whine about it on a keyboard.

The Democrats publicly rejected both God and Israel three times at their last national convention. So this should not be a surprise.

If Star Trek’s Scotty were Jewish instead:

“Shields are down, Captain. Oy!”

“Klingons, Shlmingons!”

(Shades of Lenny Bruce’s Lone Ranger bit.)

Well, Scotty wasn’t Jewish but Kirk, Spock, and Chekhov all were.
