Reports: Obama Mulling Sanctions on Israel
Free Beacon ^ | 12/4/14 | Adam Kredo

Posted on 12/04/2014 5:07:17 PM PST by Nachum

The Obama administration is refusing to discuss reports that emerged early Thursday claiming that the White House is considering imposing sanctions on Israel for continuing construction on Jewish homes in Jerusalem.

State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf dodged several questions on Thursday when confronted with reports that the administration had held secret internal meetings to discuss taking action against Israel for its ongoing building in East Jerusalem.

The classified meetings were reportedly held several weeks ago and included officials from both the State Department and White House, according to the Israeli daily Ha’aretz, which first reported on the meetings.

The possibility of sanctioning Israel for its ongoing construction sends a signal that the Obama administration is willing to go further in its denunciations of Israel then any previous White House.

What with warring with Israel for 6 years by proxy, why stop with sanctions... might as well have open war. Would help destroy Israel and the US Military at the same time, exactly what Øbola dreams of.

We always grin when our enemies fight our enemies... well, here it would be Iran/Cuba/NK/China/etc rooting for their enemies, Israel and the US to fight it out.

Why do Democrats have such a large Jewish voter base?
You would think that their history of being repressed by their governments’ leaders would enter into this equation sometime.

Maybe those thousands of conservatives protesting in front of the White House might have some influence?

At some point we are going to have to battle our adversary using their tactics.

A thousand people blocking Times Square, shouting repeatedly, "Hey hey ho ho this liberal crap has got to go!" would be a good start.

Then perhaps we could escalate to having "lie ins" where we would lie down on the interstate and block traffic, with every person holding a poster of a lie that has been told by the administration or any Democrat.

Any other ideas?

He does that and he’s going to lose any support he ever had among the Democrats in Congress, never mind what the Republicans will do.

Obama mulling anything is turning into a joke.

Why was Obama born with one more brain cell than a cow?

So he wouldn’t crap on his feet while walking.

Zechariah 12:2-3, "Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

Obama is out to destroy the USA, and sanctions against Israel is the fastest way to make that happen.

The democrat base has a decided advantage over us when it comes to showing up for street protests and demonstrations.

Most of them have the freedom to show up pretty much any time on any day.

We have to go to work to support our families and their families.
