Today, at the United Nations, the Obama administration is turning its back on Israel. For the very first time, the U.N. Security Council has invited the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights to “brief” the Council specifically on the subject of Israel and the commissioner’s list of trumped-up sins. Though the U.S. is a veto-holding power, the extraordinary move has full American approval, despite the fact that the global soapbox will be handed to Navi Pillay, a notorious anti-Israel partisan.
Moreover, the American-backed action exposes President Obama’s profound weakness on the international stage. It turns out that the deal to sponsor an Israel-bashing session at the highest levels was a trade-off for having the high commissioner brief the Council on the subject of Syria.
The Security Council has not acted on Syria since an April 21, 2012, resolution, which sent unarmed observers over to watch the bloodshed. France wanted a high commissioner briefing on Syria to generate more noise. Council member Pakistan said no, unless Israel was on the chopping block, too. The Russians also said no, unless Libya was on the table. Russia seeks to use the mess in that country to obstruct stronger measures on Syria.
At this point in the diplomatic game, the Obama administration could have insisted that Israel not be sacrificed as the quid pro quo for paying due attention to the Syrian carnage. Instead, they caved, agreeing to a spectacle which casts Syria and Israel as moral equals.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Obama has always had his back to Israel. That should be obvious to anyone paying attention.
Yes, and everywhere else, too.
He is the only anti-Israel occupant of the Oval Office since the nation’s re-institution in 1948.
Ever wonder why video of his remarks at the birthday party of that spokesperson for the PLO wasn’t released by the L.A. Slimes?
Me too.
...it seems the Jews have something to talk about at the Obama fundraiser.....
I still don’t understand this and doubtless never will; all I can tell you with certainty is something I noticed a couple decades ago: there’s a disproportionate number of Jew haters among people of the lie, and a disproportionate number of people of the lie among Jew haters.
bttt
Considering that the lights have gone out in Washington, which I daresay would seem to indicate to me a certain amount of divine displeasure, a prudent man wouldn't tempt fate in this way.
But the prudent way isn't the Zero way. I'd say he's under the sway of another power.
BTTT!
The American Jews will still vote for him.
If he turns his back on Israel he will discover that sin has consequences.
Last August DC had an earthquake
This week a giant wind blew out the power the same day as the SCOTUS ruling
And God says he is in the earthquake, wind, and fire.
I really fear for the nations direction, but what do I know...

If he was a true Christian he would know Jehovah God’s feelings about Israel. Christians better wise up. Obama is doing the devil’s work. God help him on the last day.

I do believe that Heaven was very, very displeased by the USSC ruling of this past Thursday and it is not surprising that the storm was very, very massive.
AMEN to that!
This in inviting more judgement on our country. Haven’t we had enough, Barack?
Oh yeah, “Obama has Israel’s back”.......ready to stick in the knife. How can any non-self-hating Jew in the US possibly vote for this POS?
