US slams Israel over designating heritage sites

[Never A Dull Moment]

The Obama administration criticized Israel for designating two shrines on Palestinian territory as Israeli national heritage sites.

The criticism came as Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wednesday she hopes long-stalled peace talks between Israelis and the Palestinians will resume. Clinton told a congressional committee that groundwork is being laid to restart the talks with the help of US envoy George Mitchell.

Toner said US displeasure with the designations of the Cave of the Patriarchs in the flash point town of Hebron and the traditional tomb of the biblical matriarch Rachel in Bethlehem had been conveyed to senior Israeli officials by American diplomats.

The United States did no such thing. The homosexual muslim Maoist in the White Hut did.

America overwhelmingly supports Israel.

Pres Clinton and Maddy Albright did the same when Serbia claimed sovereignty over Kosovo Polje (Blackbird’s Field).

The predictions that Israel would be slowly turned into the next Serbia is fast becoming reality.

The cave of Machpelah, or cave of the patriarchs, is one of the three sites in Israel that were recorded as purchased free and clear by the Jews.

The other two sites are the site of the Temple and Joseph's tomb. Mohammed wants them all.

The two sites are the Cave of the Patriarchs and Rachel's Tomb.

Does Obama think that these sites are mosques?

How can they not be 'Heritage sites'?

Ah yes, the Kenyan Primitive is just the latest in a long line of petty thugs who want to destroy the Jews. He will fail. Can there be any further doubt that when he said ‘he had campaigned in all 57 states’, he wasn’t kidding?

They ARE Jewish Heritage sites.

US should tread lightly and not so anti-Judaism regarding Israel.

This man is unimaginably destructive.

Normal, intelligent Americans overwhelmingly support Israel.

Ayers-based education has turned younger generations into anti Semites.

There’s a great argument for home schooling.

Does anyone else think it’s rather strange that you never see Obama and Ahmanutjob in the same room?

DISPLEASURE?

That's nothing compared to how I feel about the Manchurian Kenyan defiling 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., NW.

Should have read “knock it off” not “knock it up”. Oops :/
