The U.S. informed Arab governments Tuesday 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 Palestinians rejected the American offer following a meeting late Wednesday of Arab representatives and said it is planning to press for a vote on its resolution on Friday, according to officials familar with the issue. The decision to reject the American offer raised the prospect that the Obama adminstration will cast its first ever veto in the U.N. Security Council.
Still, the U.S. offer signaled a renewed willingness to seek a way out of the current impasse, even if it requires breaking with Israel and joining others in the council in sending a strong message to its key ally to stop its construction of new settlements. The Palestinian delegation, along with Lebanon, the Security Council's only Arab member state, have asked the council's president this evening to schedule a meeting for Friday. But it remained unclear whether the Palestinian move today to reject the U.S. offer is simply a negotiating tactic aimed at extracting a better deal from Washington.

Can anyone explain to me why Jews seem to vote Democrat?
Yours is the kind of irrationalism that needs to stop when it comes to US foreign policy. Israel is no utopia, it’s government not without sin. We must stand for the right things and if that’s the side of Israel so be it. America cannot take more decades of allowing racist superstition to control how it addresses Israel and the Middle East. Israel has become a spoiled brat, a bully, and America treated as a battered spouse rather than its closest ally.
Thank You for directing me to your homepage. Bookmarking your post for reference purposes.
The best explanation is that those who vote democRat are ethnic Jews and not religious Jews.
The are basically atheists or simply anti-Christian.
Re: If we turn on them, we’re toast
Yep, completely agree. How convenient for Zero and Hillary to use “the lesser of two evils” excuse to pound Israel right when she is surrounded by enemies.
AND ... don’t forget ... nothing from Zero about the Iranian military boats going through the Suez Canal into the Mediterranian for “1 year of exercises”
When Democrats leave the socialist party.
How powerful! Goosebumps...
(Pinging to a friend. See #68 H.)
Fools. They know exactly what they are doing — but they arrogantly believe they will escape they judgment of Almighty God?! Fools!
Israel...the safest place on earth. fubo
You might be thinking about it wrong. What do those young people back? Free Palistine right? We've already seen the peaceniks and nuts on a floatilla of boats taking ...weapons into...
It would be a war and crisis they could and would get behind. Look what they did in Egypt? If Mubarak had decided to crackdown ...what would America have done? Would we have found our military 'at war for "democracy," of the Egyptian youth...
Do you think they could not have raised their youth and base to go fight for "democracy?" If you think not...don't be so naive. They just need to appeal to them with the right cause and they will go...with enthusiasm.
Does anyone believe that 0bama is awareshalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
that he is doing the bidding of the AC ?
It’s a favorite.
[[In sharp reversal, U.S. agrees to rebuke Israel ]]
In a sharp reversal, God decides to remove His blessings from the US for refusing to stand By God’s chosen people.
Way to go Obama- Keep ignoring God- it’ll do wonders for America when God completely abandons us to our sin and indiffere3nce towards Him- What a leader!
One would hope that in a reasonable republic where our allies are few and far between that the MSM would be all over the usurper for rebuking an ally.
Unfortunately it is clear that the MSM has become a true enemy of the people and arm of the state. This should be all over the news.
Both Clinton and Obama should be under extreme political and public pressure now for this outrageous act against Israel and our political interests.
Thanks for the ping to the video. Moving and beautiful. God is faithful, he will protect Israel. His people have suffered enough throughout many generations. God’s hand will forever protect them, and ‘lift their head’.
It means the battle of Armageddon will be underway with the Antichrist influencing foreign policy and the Beast from the Sea scaring the surfers at Maui.
It’s time to quit the UN.
