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.

Terrorist and rocket attacks against Israel = “incitement of” Israel in Obammie’s lexicon.

Good grief. Almost 75% of American Jews voted for him.

And they shall reap what they sow

Israel: Like A Growing Number Of Americans, We Do Not Recognize ‘Legitimacy Of The Current U.S. Administration’

German finance minister Peer Steinbrück reported from a German blog threatens economic war, Israel being put on the chopping block by Obama, and declares that the settlements are illegitimate.... therefore will embolden the Arab thugs and terrorist...

The term Apocolypse is translated as the end of the world as we know it.

The world we know it is full of democratic countries thanks to the spread of American style democracy across the globe.

I often wonder what if the Apocolypse is the death of that ideal? Every day I get closer and closer to believing thats the case.

Time for American Jews to make a decision now that they’ve come to an historic “decision point”. That is, do they want to be Jews or do they want to be Democrats.

If there is war it’ll be the world vs. Israel.

We have seen what happens when countries war with Israel. God seemingly dislikes that intensely.

The US government doesn’t; the citizens of the US most certainly do.

It is starting to look as though we had all better read ‘Revelations’ and get right with the ‘One True GOD.

America is now officially numbered among the enemies of Israel.

May God have mercy upon us all!

I’m sure Obama will have no problem recognizing the legitimacy of the rockets that will rein down on innocent Israelis.

Israel should announce that they have totaled up all the rockets shot at them since 1967 and for each one they are claiming one square mile of disputed territory as theirs for “reparations.” Each new rocket sent their way will be another square mile permanently lost, never to be negotiated back.

If he had requested that his Jewish supporters all meet in various places across the country, call them “Happy Population Education Centers”, so he can share his final solution for the Jewish/Palestinian question with them, they would go.

Then maybe they’ll love us.

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

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


He usually uses the pronoun “I.” This is one time where I wish he had used it—a huge number of citizens of America DO INFACT RECOGNIZE THE LEGITIMACY OF CONTINUED ISRAEL SETTLEMENTS.

God will bring all nations against Israel...that would include the US.
