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.

That land belongs to Israel. It was paid for with blood in wars that THE ARABS INITIATED.

F’n pointy headed leftists. What the hell is a matter with American Jews that vote for people like Obama?

Lord Foul trying to show he’s a tough guy by placing sanctions on our allies while he gets his butt banged by the Ayatollah Cornholla!

OUR only friend...
Not Obama’s.

Somewhere in the Bible it warns about: "Those who say they are Jews, are not, but do lie."

Its Obama’s business whether an allied sovereign state, or any nation at all for that matter, lets its people build houses for themselves...and in their capital city?

He promised us a “transparent administration.”
While he’s hiding everything from his citizenship documents to how he ran the illegal guns in Fast/Furious, as well as the American witnesses to his (and Hillary’s) fatal Libya debacle,
he has provided us Transparency on one key point.
Alas!
He’s transparently a sick, mean IslamoNazi Christian and Jew hater.

Pray for America.
And yes, Pray for Obama, that he discover the one true God and His mercy.

theory: Obama is not just insane and he’s not just an anti-American IslamoNazi hater of Christians and Joos.

he is trying as hard as he can to force Congress to levy impeachment charges against him.

(consider what he’s been doing to encourage illegal immigration and what he’s doing to inflame racial war in USA, just two recent things he’s working on...)

he or his controllers want desperately to impose Martial Law or otherwise postpone the upcoming elections, as they realize they’ve no viable (saleable) candidates in sight.. and that the American public is increasingly fed up with his destroy-America policies

how to stay in power?

don’t have elections! then you can hang onto power indefinitely

or so they appear to think?

just trying to figure all this krap out, is all
if you have a better theory, please share it, thanks!!!!

Go ahead you muzzie moron. You’ll be more burnt than a Hebrew National hotdog over a campfire.

Jews of America: Wake-up! Your worst nightmares are the ones you vote for!

Obama to American Jews: “Don’t blame me, it was you who were stupid enough to believe me!”

“Don’t blame me, it was you who were stupid enough to VOTE for me!”

He’s been doing this kind of garbage to undermine Israel his whole tenure.
And I guarantee — that is why everything he and his buddies in the Senate and House touch the past 2 years has turned to $hit,.
You just don’t undermine Israel. Higher power than anyone can even imagine will come against you if you do.

Obama is a moron and he will find out the hard way to stand against Israel. This will be his demise and he will definitely fill the heat if he follows through with his threat. Hopefully God will intercede before he has a chance, but it is written all nations will turn against them. However, this interloper, the unbelievers of this nation along with the low information voters will bring harsh judgment upon this nation.

I’ve heard different theories on why the Jews vote Demoncrat - 1) They were born in America and have no national ties to Israel as their home country and 2) Evangelical Christians support Israel and the Jews don’t want anything to do with a group that promotes Jesus Christ as the Messiah.

I am no prophet, but mark my words...this is a pre-planned move. The same powers that put Obama in office to the destruction of America want to force the Jews to relinquish their Nuclear Arsenal.

This is the 7 year agreement that Daniel 9 talks about. It is also the "covenant with death" that Isaiah 28 talks about.

Many people have said it, but it deserves to be repeated. At the same time he is loosening sanctions on the murderous Iranian Regime committed to the destruction of Israel, Obama is punishing Israel for building on the land that G-d has given them!

Psalms 2 - "...he who sits in the heavens laughs..."

It’s finally changing. Not easy for a “stiffnecked people with a forehead of bronze” as Moses said.

Better to mull this: Zechariah 8:2. Best not to provoke the LORD.

“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. “

Exactly right, “all that burden themselves”

And if this President attempts as Bill Clinton did to interfere in Israels elections in 2015, to get a puppet like Ehud Barak elected to willingly surrender their sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, I suspect it will come all that much sooner for us,

Its my belief and has been for some time, that the division of Jerusalem and Judea as was restored by God in 1967 (as promised) is what bring about the time of the end, it is that very act that sets it in motion, its Isaiah Chapter 24, the nations taking part in causing this division are breaking the everlasting covenant, attempting to undo the restoration, the transgressors have come to the full and have been restored,

Our president resembles Belshazzar, if he keeps on this current path maybe he’ll get his own visitation and handwriting on the wall,

Normally sanctions require a congressional vote...But we have a king now.
