Schumer: 'No Comment' on Obama Administration Threat to Israel
Weekly Standard ^ | 3/19/15 | JOHN MCCORMACK

In response to Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent remarks and reelection, a senior Obama administration official tells Politico that the United States may withdraw support of Israel at the United Nations.

According to Politico's Michael Crowley, "the official wouldn’t rule out a modified American posture at the United Nations, where the U.S. has long fended off resolutions criticizing Israeli settlement activity and demanding its withdrawal from Palestinian territories."

“We are signaling that if the Israeli government’s position is no longer to pursue a Palestinian state, we’re going to have to broaden the spectrum of options we pursue going forward,” the official told Politico.

"Israel does not matter. American security does not matter.
What does matter and what will be eternal
are the EXEMPTIONs of MY staff,
MY family, and MYself."

I’m gonna enjoy watching stalwart democrats, who happen to be Jewish, writhe around while it becomes more obvious each day that their fearless leader is an anti-Semitic bigot of the highest order.

He is so partisan that he will turn his back on his own heritage for Obama. Make no mistake, “No comment” is turning his back on his heritage..

It would seem that the majority of American Jews have Socialism as their religion, not Judaism.

A UN Resolution created 2 states. The arab one decided to declare war on Israel. What makes them think anything’s changed?

Actually, I hope that obama is stupid enough to do this. Israel must stand alone with the protection of G-d. The United States has meddled in the point of its existence from its beginning. Had the Israelis been left alone, they long ago would have solved the situation, with the help of G-d..

Imam Obama is now OPENLY HOSTILE to the existence of Israel, and the continued safety of the USA.

We shouldn’t even be a part of the UN to start with, but the truth is... The US is NOT withdrawing support for Israel... it is the jihad-loving Obama administration that is withdrawing support for Israel.

Why do the Democrats expect Netanyahu to support a two-state solution? The Arab world and Palestine do not support the two-state solution.

He is displaying his intentions when he fulfills his ambition to head the UN after his tenure as president is over.

Considering the Palestinians believe all of Israel is Palestinian territory...

The Israelis want to be peaceful. They will gladly put down their weapons when the muslims do.
The muslims, however, wish for the Israelis to die.
