Obama and Israel: Showdown at the UN?

Fox News (LiveShots) ^ | April 16, 2010 | Ben Evansky

[Mr. Mojo]

The Obama administration is reportedly signaling another major shift in policy towards one of its staunchest allies, Israel, and this shift could change the way it votes at the Security Council. The change would mean an end to the US' use of its veto power in the United Nations Security Council when certain anti-Israel resolutions are introduced for a vote.‪

Reports surfaced a couple of weeks ago, that a senior US diplomat met with Qatar's foreign minister in Paris. They discussed the possibility that the US was giving serious consideration to not using its veto if a vote on Israeli settlements was to come up. It has been the policy of successive administrations to veto virtually all anti-Israel resolutions at the Security Council.‪

Bad advice, bad move, and it will backfire at the ballot box in November.

Obama Sucks!

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

I wish you were right, but the self loathing democrat jewish voting block will still vote overwhelmingly for Obambi?

[Roklok]

Israel needs to find another country to supply them weapons.

[FlingWingFlyer]

It too bad that the Israelis not only have to put up with bull**** from the Muzzie freakshow, they also have to deal with bull**** from the commie freakshow at the U.N.

Islam hates Israel and would like to see it destroyed.

obama is muslim or muslim sympathizer;

Therefore, obama wants to destroy Israel.

What other conclusion could one come to? His PERSONAL feelings are causing him to see to destroy or allow others to destroy Israel...one of America's strongest allies.

Why should his PERSONAL feelings be the deciding factor in this international crisis?

If he destroys one of America's biggest allies, and we stand by and do/say nothing, that means we not only concur, but support his actions.

Do we?

If such a thing were to happen, it virtually guarantees Israel will use her nukes.

Bush's Fault™

Maybe, but the Senate will think differently. I see BHO being impeached for turning against Israel and unconstitutional activities. The House will go solidly republican and that is where the business for kicking this idiot out of the WH.

[gathersnomoss]

Valley Girl will never be impeached. I’ll take any bets.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

It’ll still take 60 senators and there is no way that’ll happen, but taking back the House, is a real possibility, that the LSM wont talk about, but true pollsters are mentioning. I did notice that RCP moved from +7 Senator pick ups to +8 but cant tell who the newest addition was.

I just wish Bibi would walk up and kick Boy Zero’s a$$.

[hal ogen]

I wonder if the “foreign relations genius” biden gave nobama this advice...or maybe it was the equally brilliant clintoon? Needless to say, this is sheer brilliance in foreign policy. Phis regime is a hate crime against the United States. Total fools and poltroons.

[Phlap]

Obama offing Israel. The irony.

The chickens are coming home to roost. lol

[dtrpscout]

What a joke...the rat taunting the cat...well, we all know how that’s gonna end!

"The change would mean an end to the US' use of its veto power in the United Nations Security Council when certain anti-Israel resolutions are introduced for a vote.‪

This is horrendous -- Obama making it very clear to the world that he is anti-Israel and he won't stand up for Israel.

[grey_whiskers]

It just crossed my mind that Israel could solve most of its problems by suitcase-nuking the UN in such a way that Iran got fingered.../sarc>

Cheers!

[mojitojoe]

The large amount of Jewish Dems in Florida just this week proved that you are right. Southeast Fl always goes blue due to the Jewish voters. I will never understand it. Their liberal views mean more to them than Israel. Most of them have never been to Israel and they couldn’t care less about it.

I just wish Bibi would walk up and kick Boy Zero’s a$$.

That would be more fulfilling than helping birth my kids...
