Obama Administration:

Less than 24 hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared victory against opponent Isaac Herzog and just days after promising to reject a two-state solution, the Obama administration is vilifying Israel and claims the Jewish State is "marginalizing Arabs." From the Washington Examiner: 

President Obama has yet to offer congratulations to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his convincing re-election win, and the White House is accusing the leader Wednesday of seeking to "marginalize Arab-Israeli citizens."

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Obama would reach out to Netanyahu in coming days. But Obama's top spokesman criticized Netanyahu for accusing left-leaning groups of trying to mobilize Arab voters against his candidacy.

"The United States and this administration is deeply concerned about rhetoric that seeks to marginalize Arab-Israeli citizens," Earnest said. "It undermines the values and Democratic ideals that have been important to our democracy and an important part of what binds the United States and Israel together."

Marginalizing Arabs? Israel is the only place in the Middle East where Jews, Christians and Muslim Arabs live together in peace. Further, the vast majority of the Middle East is consumed by Arab countries that are hostile to Israel. In fact, every single Arab country surrounding the Jewish State has waged war against it at some point during its short history.

"All the Palestinians have ever had to do is recognize Israel as a Jewish State and promise to live in peace with it."

The Middle East Problem

To make matters worse, POLITICO reports the Obama administration is reconsidering U.S. support for Israel at the United Nations, which over the decades has been extremely hostile to the Jewish State while upholding violent regimes like Iran.

In the wake of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decisive reelection, the Obama administration is revisiting longtime assumptions about America’s role as a shield for Israel against international pressure.

Angered by Netanyahu’s hard-line platform toward the Palestinians, top Obama officials would not rule out the possibility of a change in American posture at the United Nations, where the U.S. has historically fended off resolutions hostile to Israel.

“We are signaling that if the Israeli government’s position is no longer to pursue a Palestinian state, we’re going to have to broaden the spectrum of options we pursue going forward,” the official said.

The Obama administration continues talks with the Iranians over a nuclear deal and continues to distance itself from the only peaceful, true democracy in the Middle East. What could possibly go wrong?

The rest of the title is Netanyahu is "Marginalizing Arabs" And We Might Not Back Israel at The UN Anymore

[mrsmel]

Hussein certainly didn’t have this much angst and anger when it was only Coptic Christians being “marginalised” by having their heads severed from their bodies.

[Star Traveler]

Obama is too busy with his golf game to congratulate Netanyahu on his win ... LOL ...

[Red Badger]

Pray for Israel...........they are gonna need all the help they can get..................But we know how it ALL ends, eventually......................

[Red Badger]

I bet Obozo called Herzogg to comfort him in his loss.................

[Don Corleone]

Val Jar. is having a PMS eruption at this point.

[molson209]

On 20Jan17 will Netanyahu call Obama and say ,” BYE “,LOL

[TexasCajun]

Not content with acerbating racial discord here in the United States, The Imam now moves on to Israel.

[wayoverontheright]

Obama’s anti-Israel, pro-Iran posture will backfire on Obama, and the Democratic Party.

Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan, if not others, now have reason to join with Israel in common cause against Iran, and Israel has the trump card-its more advanced military might.

I believe the three countries above would gladly ditch the Palestinian cause, or certainly, put it aside for awhile, to enlist Israel in neutralizing Iran.

Barack Obama is marginalizing the US here, and it is now crystal clear whose side he is on. Aside from being idiotic strategically for US security, I believe it’s going to be a political loser too.

[SMARTY]

It’s a victory for the terrorist animals... they drove a wedge between the US and ANOTHER of its allies.

Good work “O”, (Our S&^% for Brains ‘President’)

Israel would like to exist and recognizes the right of the Palestinians to have a state;
the Palestinians, however, and many other Muslims and Arabs, do not recognize the right of a Jewish state of Israel to exist.

Every poll among Palestinians shows that a majority of Palestinians want there to be no Jewish state of Israel -- doesn't believe it should exist -- or had any basis for being.
And this has been true since 1948, when the British left and the U.N. established a division;
Palestine would be cut in half -- a Jewish half and an Arab half.

The Jews accepted it -- the Arabs didn't accept it.
And what happened?
The moment it was announced, Arab armies -- about seven Arab armies -- attacked the Jewish state in order to destroy it.
To everybody's surprise, the little Jewish state survived, and that was pretty much it.

And then it happened again in 1967, when the dictator of Egypt, Gamal Abdul Nasser, said
"We're now going to extinguish the Jewish state of Israel."
And Jordan joined him, and Syria joined him --
but Israel attacked first, as so Israel survived.

And that is how Israel -- and only that way -- came to occupy what was called the "West Bank" of Jordan -- where many Palestinians lived,
because many Palestinians lived in that part of Jordan.

So, the war was over in '67 and what did the Arabs do?
The Arab states all went to Khartoum, Sudan and announced
"No recognition, no peace, and no negotiations,"
the three famous "No's."
What was Israel supposed to do?

Then Israel made an agreement to give the entire Sinai Peninsula -- an area of land bigger than Israel-- with oil -- back to Egypt
because they said they would make peace with Israel.
Israel gives territory back for peace, and it will always do that.
But is there really a desire for peace on the part of Israel's enemies,
which broadcast after broadcast on TV and radio, in the Palestinian areas,
is about how Jews should be killed and how Allah wants Jews to be killed?
That's the typical broadcast on Palestinian television.

And so, its not hard to explain the Middle-East dispute.
One side wants the other DEAD.
Do you know what the motto of Hamas is?
The motto of Hamas is,
"We love DEATH as much as the Jews love life."
Now you tell me how Israel is suppose to make peace when people believe what Hamas believes.

Now, here is one of the most important things nobody talks about:
Everybody talks about a Palestinian state --
Why didn't anybody talk about a Palestinian state when the Palestinians lived under Jordanian rule?
Because, the truth is, people started talking about a Palestinian state once the Palestinians were under Israeli rule,
because it was always a way to destroy the Jewish state of Israel.

And I say "Jewish State" because that is what it is.
There are many, many Arab states but there is only one Jewish state.
It is about the size of New Jersey.
In fact, El Salvador is larger than Israel.
El Salvador!

And yet, if a Martian came to the earth and they visited the United Nations, or they read the world's newspapers, or watched world television,
they would believe that biggest problem on Earth is a state the size of New Jersey and El Salvador.This state of Israel, this preoccupation with this little democratic, humane state is absolutely irrational.

And here's another question to be asked:
If Israel, tomorrow, put down its arms and said
"We will fight no more,"
what would happen?
If the Arab countries around Israel said
"We will fight no more, we will put down our arms"
what would happen?

In the first case
there would be an immediate destruction of the State of Israel with the mass murder of the Jews of Israel.
In the second scenario I presented, where the Arabs put down their arms and said,
"We just want peace,"
there would be peace the next Wednesday.

The fact is, as I said at the outset, it is a very simple problem to describe:
One side wants the other DEAD --
and if they didn't
there would be peace.


Please remember this --
there has never been, never in the history of the world, a state in that area,that was not Jewish.
Israel is the third Jewish autonomous Jewish state to exist in that area.
There was never an autonomous Arab state.
There was never an autonomous Muslim state.
There was not an autonomous "any-other" state.
That's the issue:
Why can't a little state the size of El Salvador, that calls itself Israel, be allowed to exist?
That, in a nutshell, is the Middle-East problem.

Bibi should have just told Likud supporters to go out and punish their enemies at the polls, and that if they bring a knife, we bring a gn.

[bgill]

The Jewish community voted for hussein twice and will flock to the polls to vote for his upcoming third term.

[Servant of the Cross]

This puts the lie to all of the weeping and gnashing of teeth over Bibi's address to Congress and the BS about a desire of neutrality regarding Israel's election (and his swat team swat team

0bama hates Israel. He is just using Alinsky tactics to direct the focus on Bibi.

[Kaslin]

Yes we do
