Why Obama broke with Israel at UN
The Hill ^ | Dec. 23, 2016 | Jordan Fabian

Posted on 12/23/2016 4:45:47 PM PST by Innovative

The White House’s decision to break with decades of U.S. policy and allow the U.N. Security Council to condemn Israeli settlements is the culmination of years of bad blood between President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. 

The decision won Obama criticism from across the political spectrum, and almost certainly wouldn't have been made if Hillary Clinton had won the presidential election.

It opened him up to condemnation from President-elect Donald Trump and the right, and could lead to a battle over U.S. funding for the U.N. in Congress. 

But Obama's team decided it was worth it.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who is Jewish, also came to Obama's defense, saying the vote sends a "strong message that the United States still supports a two-state solution."

So long as the inhabitants of one 'state" favor the annihilation of the inhabitants of the other, there can be no "two-state solution", Diane, you ninny.

One wonders...if the the US were to adopt and promote a "one state solution", involving annexation of and expulsion from the West Bank, might peace negotiations take a different turn?

Time to say the obvious — Democrats, especially Barack Obama, are anti-Semitic. Shame on them!

I wouldn’t want to be him. There is One that will hold him accountable and it does not go unnoticed. What a piece of work and I hope Trump throws the BlowN finally out of our country.

The bottom line is Obama is an a$$. He is a child. Netenyahu has thwarted Obama many times including speaking before congress.

Obama is now and will always be an a$$.
Thank you.

Not a sleeper. He doesn’t show his flag but he serves it under a thin and fraying cover.

The outgoing president’s move toward Israel will soon be as gone as the truck hauling his stuff from the White House. But it gives him big street cred with his islamist friends.

Obama is just a bitter clinger - clinging to power and his religion (Muslim) and bitter because he blooped out in the election. This latest manifestation is like going home and kicking the dog because you had a bad day at the office.

As the mantra goes-get the UN out of the USA and the USA out of the UN. Put it in Gaza where it will make a good launching pad for the missles fired into Israel . The UN sites in Gaza were/are the favorite launching sites and storage sites for hamas ordnance.

Obama has been backstabbing and trying to set the Jews up for slaughter ,....for his entire 8 years in our WHouse

he has not broken with Jersualem since he has made it 1000 percent clear he is their enemy from the git-go

you can’t break with an ally you have always been trying to extermiate or undermine. Obama has been consistently hostile to Christians and Jews and their countries (America, Europe, UK) for his entire stint in office

and now with this evil perfidy in his last few days ....he has sealed his fate ....he is going straight to jahannam (his Moslem Hell) with Kerry and Soros together
