Obama: U.S. Does Not Recognize 'Legitimacy of Continued Israeli Settlements'
Foxnews.com ^ | 09/23/09 | Staff

Posted on 09/23/2009 10:49:53 AM PDT by OldDeckHand

In declaring that it is time for Middle East peace "without preconditions," President Obama used his speech to the U.N. General Assembly Wednesday to fire a warning at Israel that "America does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements."

Obama's stark declaration, which drew applause, was coupled with a call for Palestinians to end their "incitement of Israel."

But it was the use of the U.N. forum to carry the settlement message to Israel that drew the most enthusiastic response on the floor -- and incredulous reaction outside its walls.

Obama just put Israel "on the chopping block," said former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton.

Obama said he met Tuesday with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was not in attendance at the speech, and agreed that the two have made some progress in both strengthening security and facilitating freedom of movement, which have allowed the economy in the West Bank to grow.

But more progress is needed, he said.

Just you watch. He uses language like this, and next thing you know, the Palestinians will be ramping up attacks on these ‘illegitimate’ settlements. And they’ll use Obama’s statement to the international audience as cover. And the media won’t blink an eye.

"The people of the world want change," he said, noting that "just as no nation should be forced to accept the tyranny of another nation, no individual should be forced to accept the tyranny of their own government."

Sayeth the Tyrant.

I don’t recognize Obama as a Christ loving, America loving President either. Obama, just like me you’ll have to live with it.

People in Israel fear Obama, they wanted McCain to win. They already prepared themselves on what might happen with an Obama Presidency. They know that Obama is Anti Israel, Pro Arab

“America does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements.”

Speak for yourself, bub. Most Americans do accept that legitimacy.

(Besides, the judge has already ruled in that land dispute,
and Jacob’s descendants get the title.)

You're dead wrong about that Obozo. YOU don't speak for America, you speak against America.

...oh don't you know, according to the liberals all Christians who support Israel must be some kind of apocalyptic religious fanatics who are trying to usher in Jesus' return. You can't support Israel because of shared cultural values.

Hope all of our nation’s Jews and New York City residents are happy now. Good luck with that anti-terrorist thing...

Obama, is not an American, and he does not speak for America.

He is illegitimate, a usurper of office. As an American citizen of good standing and a registered voter I demand that he be removed, and I state publicly that I do not recognize his rulings as law, nor any part of his holding of office as even legitimate in a de facto sense.

Why Are Jews Liberals?
Norman Podhoretz
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203440104574402591116901498.html

Podhoretz also has a new book out on this subject “Why Are Jews Liberals?”. He discussed it this past weekend on CSPAN Book TV. His theory is that Liberalism has replaced Judaism as their religious faith for most American Jews.

The liberal Jews I know aren't paying close enough attention to even know what he's saying. They're oblivious.

The conservative Jews are aghast, obviously.
