Obama admin 'stabs Israel in the back' with UN vote on settlements Share Tweet Email NY: With US Abstention, UN Security Council passes Resolution condemning Israeli settlements

Delegates raise their hands in affirmation during a vote by the United Nations Security Council on a resolution demanding an end to Israeli settlements at UN Headquarters in New York / AP

Multiple sources from across the Jewish organizational world and in Congress are accusing the Obama administration of stabbing “Israel in the back” on Friday by choosing not to veto a United Nations resolution censuring the Jewish state, according to conversations with sources.

The resolution, which has been floating through the U.N. for some time, finally came to a vote in the Security Council on Friday, where the Obama administration reversed years of policy by abstaining from the vote instead of vetoing it.

The decision quickly drew outrage across the pro-Israel community and in Congress, where multiple sources told the Washington Free Beacon that the incoming Trump administration is likely to pursue consequences for the U.N.’s action.

Israeli officials also lashed out at the Obama administration, calling its behavior “shameful” and alleging that President Obama used the anti-Israel vote as a way to express his hostility for the Jewish state before vacating the Oval Office.

I hope Trump will use a 2 step approach to the anti-American UN.

1. Get the UN physically out of this country.
2. If the UN doesn't change its attitude more favorably to the US get us out of the UN. -Tom

Thanks Ødungo - we knew you had it in you!

I did think that it was nice of him to leave a lasting reminder of what a total asswipe he is. Usually he just does weaselly stuff that he can blame of underlings.

Not “the jackals”.

It is now “the Barackals”, a new breed that will be snapping and harrying at the heels of the adults who have returned to the room.

Known mostly for their nuisance value, the Barackals will recognizable by their high-pitched yipping and their general lack of courage, skipping back quickly when a kick is aimed their direction.

A squirt gun filled with ammonia water keeps them at their distance. Or pepper spray.

When was 0bama NOT a jackal? He didn’t all of a sudden become an antisemite. He was one way before he met the most Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

I hear that real estate for a new UN headquarters is quite affordable in Aleppo.

I believe we have never officially supported Israel’s settlements.

We do support Israel, its official borders and its right to exist peacefully.

The West Bank “settlement” problem needs to be dealt with.

I suspect many settlers are settlers for economic reasons - Israeli real estate prices can be very high.

Perhaps an approximately 30-mile commuter rail line could be built between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, underground in the developed areas of those cities with stations in employment centers.

Low-cost housing could be built near stations on low-cost now rural land in Israel and existing settlers in the West Bank could be offered first chance to move into the low-cost housing.

Commuters could be in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem quickly.

Israel will still need to control the West Bank to keep Arab heavy artillery and rockets out of it.

How about the Israelis annex the West Bank and expel all the Arabs?

By right of conquest, the West Bank should belong to Israel.

A so-called "two-state solution" is never going to work if the inhabitants of one state are sworn to annihilate the inhabitants of the other.

And I don't see that mindset changing until the Israelis kick the living dog crap out of the Palestinians.

Exactly. As if he wasn’t leading them like a locomotive leads a train.

Obama is not only the worst president in American history...

He’s the worst American in American history.

As someone said in another post, this is pure vandalism on the way out. Like flushing cherry bombs down the toilets and the like.

Obama was an anti- American. Anti- Christian. Anti Jewish islamonazi rat from the very git-go. He hasn’t just joined them. Israel will now build, thrive, and prosper as she should, without concern for what obama wants. The land is hers and no islamonazi infiltrator in our White House ( -and certainly no United Nazis resolution) can steal it from her.

I’m a little more harsh about it than you. I think Trump should adopt a take no prisoners approach, get us out of the UN and kick them out of the US. Never mind changing their attitude, get us out, kick them out. The UN is anti America, tell them to pound sand.

As for this mess, Obama is trying to do as much damage as he can before he is booted out of the White House. So much for a smooth transition...
