Lee Zeldin says Obama administration was 'furious' with Flynn over 'anti-Israel' UN effort in 2016
Washington Examiner ^ | May 14, 2020 | Emma Colton

Rep. Lee Zeldin hearkened back to 2016 to remind the nation that the Obama administration was “furious” with retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn for calling on world leaders to block an “anti-Israel” effort.

The New York Republican tweeted Thursday morning about Flynn, who served as Trump’s national security adviser in early 2017, and his efforts to block the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334, which focused on Israeli settlements in “Palestinian territories occupied since 1967.”

“Keep in mind Obama admin was furious Gen Michael Flynn was making calls to world leaders helping to block UN Sec Council Res 2334 in Dec 16, which was an anti-Israel effort that should've been vetoed by the US, not fast tracked. Gen Flynn was doing exactly what needed to be done,” Zeldin tweeted.

What do you mean? It was an anti-Israel resolution aimed at setting the stage for Kerry’s Paris meeting in Jan 2017.

Brennan unmasked Flynn just as or a day after Brennan met with the Palestinian leaders visiting Washington in mid Dec 2016.

Biden’s election campaign, however, downplayed the former vice president’s name being on the list.

“These documents have absolutely nothing to do with any FBI investigation and they confirm that all normal procedures were followed — any suggestion otherwise is a flat out lie,” Biden spokesman Andrew Bates said. “What’s more, it’s telling that these documents were selectively leaked by Republicans abusing their congressional powers to act as arms of the Trump campaign after having them provided by a partisan official installed for this very purpose.”

Makes sense. There is nothing Obama wanted more than to help the PA put a nail in the coffin of the state of Israel.

It wasn’t “undermining a US vote” as the Obama administration was ABSTAINING, that is, not voting, on the Egyptian resolution. The vote was in late December and was a setup for Kerry’s Paris summit set for the week before Trump’s inauguration.

All the while Kerry was faking a trip to Antarctica as cover for his dealings with New Zealand.

Ultimately they were after him for his book Field of Fight regarding Iran and the Obama admin cover up of the documents found on the bin Laden raid concerning AL Qaeda and Iran, including training Iran was providing to terrorists. The admin was hiding the discoveries from the public and apparently from congress too because they were trying to normalize relations with Iran.

This was the resolution that the Obama admin claimed it had nothing to do with, pretending it was an Egyptian idea. In reality it had everything to do with it. Flynn was unable to persuade the Russians to vote against it, probably because the Russians and Obama were colluding on it together with the European BDS/divestment lobby.

The plan was to give the Palestinians recognition as a state and give it full UN representation.

Kerry wanted the two-state solution but without a requirement that the Palestinian state be a Democratic one. There was no concern that Palestinians get to choose their leaders democratically.

“Wow. Flynn was hitting on all cylinders by December 2016 in terms of subtly calling out Obama and his acolytes for their reflexive anti-Israel bias and their inexplicable but inarguably ingrained tendency to promote the interests of political Islam, particularly and seemingly most enthusiastically when doing so would negatively impact countervailing U.S. interests, or compromise our standing with marginal or even longstanding allies,”

Obama was one part Muslim. And it showed.
