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.

His next move will be to shoot down Israeli jets.

He may as well just be done with his farce and have lunch with his brothers Farrakhan and Gadaffy duck.

I don’t either for what it is worth. and that is not much, but if enough of us felt that, it might be worth something.

The ROTUS (Racist of The United States) also said ...an insistence that Israel respect the legitimate claims and rights of the Palestinians. Could someone please tell me what those claims and rights might be because for the life of me I have no idea what they are?

Whose interpretation is that?

In the end Israel will be surrounded by armies.

I pray that if WE are there it is to protect her.

Does he mean all settlements that exist now are not considered by Brack to be legitimate?

I don’t know any US fighter pilots who would fire a missile at an Israeli jet.

So he’s telling Jews where in their ancestral homeland they can live from “Manhattan”?

The American Federal Government might not, but America sure does.

Get out of my White House, you anti-Semitic Communist usurper fraud.

It’s Zechariah’s interpretation.

Zechariah 14: 1 A day of the Lord is coming when your plunder will be divided among you. 2 I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city. 3 Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights in the day of battle

I wonder if the Mossad knows anything about a certain Kenyan birth certifcate? There's one outfit I wouldn't want to butt heads with.

Pick a fight with the Mossad and the CIA at the same time. CIA has the cash and access, Mossad has the operational tallent. Also having the Mossad break the dirty laundry keeps the CIA's hands clean.

But its not going to happen. Obama is setting himself up like Chavez and Castro to be a president for life. He sees the deaths of a few million Israelis as a way to keep the people distracted while he puts his plans in place.

As for Israel, it is going to have to fight for survival, or vanish into history, in the next few months. Once Iran has the bomb and mates it to a missile, all Israel can do is avenge their destruction, the can no longer survive. The Iranians don't care if they die, so long as they can take the Jews with them. Amaddogjihad will happily send his country into a Nuclear war, in fact that is exactly what he wants.

I just hope Israel has enough ammo stacked up. In 1973 they survived only because the US flew one of the largest airlifts in history to keep them supplied with ammo. That isn't going to happen this time.

Negotiate with no “pre-conditions”. Well except for that condition for Israel to stop building settlements, but aside from that no pre-conditions. Well of course, Israel should restrain from responding to rocket attacks, but aside from the no settlements and no response to attacks there are no pre-conditions. Well ...

I know some here see Obama as Rev. Wright but I always see think that Obama is Louis Farrakhan. Obama is just a more presentable/marketable package than Farrakhan but the product inside the box is the same.

Rev. Wright is a loud mouth but Farrakhan always struck me as a far more dangerous person.
