Senior Obama administration officials are scrambling to provide explanations after multiple reports, including in the Washington Free Beacon, identified the White House as being a chief architect of a recent United Nations resolution condemning the state of Israel, according to conversations with multiple former and current U.S. officials.
On the heels of the hotly contested resolution, which condemned Israel for building homes in its capital, Jerusalem, senior Obama administration officials, including Secretary of State John Kerry and Vice President Joe Biden, have been identified as leading the charge to ensure the anti-Israel measure won approval by the U.N. Security Council.
The administrations denials of this charge broke down during the past several days as multiple reporters confirmed the Obama administration worked behind-the-scenes to help shape and forward the resolution.
The Free Beacon disclosed on Monday that Vice President Joe Biden phoned Ukraines president to ensure that country voted in favor of the resolution. While the White House issued multiple denials, further reports from Israel and Europe have confirmed a phone call between the leaders did in fact take place.
It also has come to light that Kerry held a meeting in December with senior Palestinian diplomat Saeb Erekat. Documents believed to have been leaked by Egypt confirm that Kerry and Erekat discussed forwarding the resolution, a charge that senior White House officials continue to deny.
White House National Security Council official Ned Price described such a meeting as a total fabrication, despite public documents highlighting the powwow between Kerry and Erekat.
Something I have seen with Obama over the last 8 years. Every time he is about to screw an ally or America, he somehow winds up away from Washington on a personal trip.
This is Obama’s icing on his legacy. The worst transition in history. Amazing Obama is smearing his own legacy. But this is who they are.
Yeah Rey,
Always question why American Jews support what is bad for Israel.
These are supposed to be some of the best edumacated folks in the world.
A Trojan Horse by any other name is...the u.n..

My boss is half Jewish; her mother is an American Jew. I asked her why don’t American Jews support Israel? She said they don’t support Zionism.
I really don’t understand it.
“White guilt on steroids” expresses it perfectly.
Wow! How sad.
And B. Obama and his MSM followers are using Russia to divert discussion from his anti-Israel agenda.
In the South, Jewish transplants believe Christian regard for Israel grows out of the Book of Revelation turned into a miniseries, that rednecks have admired the IDF only since 1967 (”looks like those Jew boys know how to fight!”) and that public school prayer will lead the Chosen People to Jesus.
Oh, and after the Rapture we’ll be eating popcorn in Heaven while watching the plagues & tribulations unfold down here.
;^)
It is odd, American Jewish people’s lack of concern for Israel.
Most Christians respect Judaism and Israel. After all, it was the faith and birthplace of our Savior.
I do look forward to eating popcorn and to Heaven, if I make it there. :)
Bless you and yours and Happy New Year!
