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.

I'm not the least bit surprised at this article.
A lot more, IMO, than most Americans are willing to even admit to themselves or even consider about the need for this nation to repent and turn back towards GOD, before He decides to bring judgement on this rebellious country.
You have to wonder if maybe America’s Jewish vote will plummet to only 70% or so for Ubanga in the November election.
But then, there’s no accounting for collective IQ.
Ah yes, that vaunted ‘smart power’ they extolled that would make our enemies love us and flock to our side like groupies at a concert.
Can anyone tell me if it has worked yet?
Anyone?

Veto power applies to the substantive resolutions that the Security Council makes -- the things that "get voted out of committee" as it were and represent public judgments of the UN.
I'm not sure it applies to everything the Security Council does. Inviting or not inviting a speaker, hearing or not hearing a report, debating or not debating a resolution -- I don't think those are things one power could veto.
It’s time for the US and Israel to walk out of the UN. It’s obvious that the commie dirtbags want to destroy both nations.
“The American Jews will still vote for him.”
Not this one, and certainly not the ultra-Conservative Orthodox who have a serious problem with Obama’s homosexual agenda. (See the Bob Turner election in the New Yawk Collective.)
Liberal, secular Jews are no longer Jews. They’re Pseudo-Jews. You can’t be Jewish and cheer for homosexual “marriage”, abortion, or the rest of the Liberal Menu of Destruction.
I hate Obama voting Jews. Seriously. I actually put up on a dating profile that I will not go out with any. I don't care who attractive or otherwise competent one may be.
More like 60% according to latest polls.
That's encouraging (if it actually pans out).
Would be very nice and convenient for the Mossad to release some timely and devastating intel about Obama, his past, his identity, his connections right about now.
Unfortunately a commie dirtbag now controls our delegation so, don’t think we’re walking out.
“Unfortunately a commie dirtbag now controls our delegation so, don’t think we’re walking out.”
Yeah, I know. But a Patriot can dream, right ?
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
