Israel's Netanyahu lashes out at Obama over UN vote
AP ^ | 24 Dec 16 | AP staff

Israel's prime minister lashed out at President Barack Obama on Saturday, accusing him of a "shameful ambush" at the United Nations over West Bank settlements and saying he is looking forward to working with his "friend" President-elect Donald Trump.

Benjamin Netanyahu's comments came a day after the United States broke with past practice and allowed the U.N. Security Council to condemn Israeli settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem as a "flagrant violation" of international law.

Although the U.S. opposes the settlements, it has traditionally used its veto power as a permanent member of the Security Council to block resolutions condemning Israel, saying that disputes between Israel and the Palestinians must be resolved through negotiations.

Welcomed by the Palestinians, the resolution, while mostly symbolic, could hinder Israel's negotiating position in future peace talks.

Trump also condemned the U.N. vote Saturday, taking to Twitter to say it "will make it much harder to negotiate peace." But, he added, "we will get it done anyway." A year ago, Trump told The Associated Press that he wanted to be "very neutral" on Israel-Palestinian issues, but his comments became much more pro-Israel as the race progressed and he took a sharp tone against the Palestinians.

Netanyahu said the U.S abstention was "in complete contrast" to U.S. commitments - including one that he said Obama made in 2011 - not to impose conditions for a final agreement on Israel at the Security Council. "The Obama administration conducted a shameful anti-Israel ambush at the U.N.," Netanyahu said.

The White House declined to comment on Netanyahu's criticism.

The U.S. and much of the international community consider Israel's settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem as an obstacle to peace. Netanyahu rejects such claims, blaming the failure of peace efforts on the Palestinian refusal to recognize....

Exactly right! I have called out folks who say he doesn’t know what he is doing. He knows exactly what he is doing.

That sums it up in one sentence. (For once, we get an AP story where we don't have to read between the lines.)

What else could Netanyahu possibly say under the circumstances?

What do we know about Obama’s whore at the UN, the so-called “ambassador”?

She seems ultra-hateful at first glance.

Lwe, since you asked — Bibi could have told obama to go to jahammah! (Islamic Hell) but I suppose his referral to DJT as his “friend” is a rdiplomatic way of saying the obvious -,that obama isn’t.

January 20th will be the biggest holiday of my life.

I even have a special gown and shoes for the occasion. Hubby has a new suit. No expense will be spared in this celebration.

We were plucked from the brink at the 59th minute of the 11th hour.

Agreed. Replacement theology not only claims that God is a liar and does not keep His Word, it used as an excuse to attack His plan for Israel and His chosen people.

Expect some interesting tidbits on Obama’s background to surface soon.

I would LOVE to see Obama's evil deeds exposed by the Mossad.

I hope they have videotapes.

http://newsexaminer.net/entertainment/secret-service-agent-says-obama-is-gay-muslim/

Former agent, Paul Horner, in his new tell-all book “The Black House,” reveals what goes on inside the White House when the news cameras are turned off.

In an interview with NBC News, Horner told Senior Political Analyst Tom Downey that he is one-hundred-percent positive that President Obama is not only gay, but a radical Muslim as well.

“Everyone on the inside knows that Obama is gay and a Muslim, it is common knowledge,” Horner said. “I saw many men coming and going from Obama’s room, at all hours. I would say a good portion of the men, over fifty-percent, were Muslim.”

Downey: “In your book you talk about several rituals Obama preformed to unwind from his busy schedule. Can you elaborate on these for our viewers?” Horner: “When no one was around, except his security, Obama couldn’t wait to get out of his suit and into his Muslim tunic. He would wear it while praying to the prophet Muhammad throughout the day. During these prayer sessions he insisted that he not be disturbed.”

Downey: “Can you give us any insight on Obama’s feelings towards the American people?”

Horner: “He constantly made jokes about Americans, frequently referring to them as “mongoloids” and “idiots”. Christians were his favorite verbal punching bags. He has absolutely no respect for the Christian religion. I believe he actually hates Christians, and finds their ideology to be old fashioned and ignorant.”

Downey: “What are some of the things the public will find the most shocking?”

Horner: “Probably the sheer amount of men he welcomed into his bed quarters. I am in no way homophobic, but Obama’s insatiable lust for homosexual liaisons is like nothing I’ve ever witnessed. We’re talking 10-15 partners in a single day.”

Downey: “That’s amazing, 10-15 in a single day? Wow.”

Horner: “Also, at least once a day, Obama would have us log on to Facebook and report a page about a Dolphin named Fappy who travels around the country speaking to elementary school children about the dangers and consequences of masturbation. It was all very, very strange stuff.”

Psalm 2:1-3

It describes liberals, the left, and the MSM to a "T", doesn't it?

Really doesn't matter, as you implied, because she's just a puppet. Her name is Samantha Power, an Irish born leftist, who happens to be the wife of Cass Sunstein, and a Harvard Law product..

Sunstein worked in the Obama White House until 2012 as "Director of Information and Regulatory Affairs" (sounds very Orwellian and is). That was between his gigs at U. of Chicago Law School and Harvard Law School. He's an ultraleftist as well, as you might suspect, and really into repressive government.

It does, but mainly because they look exactly like the gods they all worship, meaning the anti-Christ globalist NWO infesting the United Nations and the general assembly,

We’re seeing more and more of this beast taking shape, it may be the very one that rises up from the sea in the Book of Revelation,

Oh, I wish we were. We’re hunting for an inauguration party locally. We’ve decided that if we don’t find one, we’ll just get dressed up and head downtown to celebrate.

This election is too important not to acknowledge bigly.
