The U.S. informed Arab governments Friday that it will support a U.N. Security Council statement reaffirming that the 15-nation body "does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity," a move aimed at avoiding the prospect of having to veto a stronger Palestinian resolution calling the settlements illegal.

But the Palestinian's rejected the American offer following a meeting late Wednesdy of Arab representativs and said it is planning to press for a vote on its resolution Friday, according officials familar with the issue. The decision to reject the American offer raised the prospects that the Obama adminstration may cast its first ever veto in the U.N. Security Council.

Well, well, well! The bumbling ne’er-do-well is finally showing his real face. My guess is he will not run again in 2012, because of the BC issue, so he has nothing to lose by condemning Israel. He will do as much damage as he possibly can get away with in his remaining time.......

How long before the Lord of Hosts, the God of Jacob and of Jesus, no longer looks on America with favor? His justice cannot sleep forever if we as a nation become an enemy of His chosen people.

"Most American jews are JINO's"

I'm gonna use that line when I'm at Blue Ridge Country Club (the one up on Linglestown Road) for golfing events. While I can't play anymore with the back, I do help them.

Look, I think the world of Jews and have always supported them. But I am sick of their vote. Enough already.

HIDEOUS. Many folks have no clue about God’s priorities.

IT may be a relatively minor issue from some perspectives. I don’t think it will be from God’s.

Some think there will be a significant consequence for us from this sent to us by God Himself.

There are a number of wonderful conservative Jewish people on this forum. They don’t need to be subjected to the offensiveness of that post. Any chance of you asking a moderator to delete it?

Hussein hates Israel. Plain and simple.

Bibi: most Americans DO stand with you against the threats to your people. God be with you, and we stand with you...despite the failure currently occupying the Oval Office!

Good thing we have made sure to make Israel as dependent as possible on foreign aid. We would never have an administration that wouldn’t stand up for Israel.

It is funny that people who say welfare makes individuals dependent on the government will be all for foreign aid. What do they think will happen?

Not if you know anything about the obama administration. But then again, this is what the people voted for.

It's hard to believe how desolate this area the Israelis have "usurped" really is until you see it.

This is true. By listening to news accounts, you would think that the Israelis kicked Palestinians out of their houses and took over their towns. But when you actually go there and see for yourself, you witness TRUTH smacking you in the face.

I can vividly recall standing on a hill in Jerusalem and looking out at the vast desert. The sand and haze was blinding. All I could see is white stretching out to the horizon. But when I studied the landscape, I discovered a tiny spot of green on that vast stretch of nothingness. It was then that I discovered a West Bank settlement that I heard about on the news. At that moment, it became unmistakably clear where God's blessings lay.

Dunno how some jews can live with having voted for this traitorous POS.

I hope it weighs heavy on their hearts and they take a long look at what they have done and start working to make sure he is not re-elected.
