President Barack Obama will not allow any further United Nations measures critical of Israel to pass during the remainder of his term, deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes promised on Wednesday.

When asked by CNN’s Jake Tapper if secretary of state John Kerry had indicated in his speech earlier Wednesday that the US would veto any other potential UN resolution that may come forward during the rest of Obama’s presidency, Rhodes said “yes.”

Since the anti-settlements resolution passed in the Security Council last Friday, Israel has expressed concern that another measure may come up before the international body for a vote, and that the US may once again refrain from using its veto power. …

He behaves like a petulant teenager. This dude is in way over his head. I wonder if he knows that his puppet masters view him as expendable?

Nah.

Polling generally shows very few American Jews supporting ‘settlements’ in Israel, and most believe Netanyahu is far too extreme. That would go double for the wealthy assimilated Jews who finance the DNC.

Just remember, “You can be Jewish, or you can be democratic. You can’t be both.”

The damage has been done and with it goes DNC Jewish donor base.

If only that were true.

My Rabbi neighbor and his wife are some of the biggest pro-Obama lefties I have ever met in my entire life (and once upon a time I was a DC attorney living in communist controlled Northern Virginia).

Israel should strive to make sure Obama has horrific nightmares the rest of his life.

The main opposition party in Israel (Zionist Union) supports the security council resolution and applauds the US for abstaining.

Most American Jews are not truly practicing Jews. Their religion is “progressivism” and the Democrat Party. They see Netanyahu essentially as a conservative or a Republican. It would take a lot more than this UN debacle to change their allegiance.

Clown Prince nobama continues to attempt to transform the United States of America into a place where there is no Rule of Law, where self-loathing controls action and where liars are king. What a putz. A prison cell is too good for this traitor, fraud and imposter.

I'm sure Obola doesnt think that recognition of a soverign Palestinian State would be critical of Israel. As a matter of fact he and F'in Kerry think it's for their own good....

As if Obama shot someone in the head, and the person is dead, then says ‘don’t worry, I will stop shooting’, then expects to be treated as compassionate. What a Putz.

The real title:

White House: Obama will veto any other UN resolution critical of Israel since Jewish donors have threatened to cut off future donations to the democratic party.
