Republican House of Representatives Whip Eric Cantor (Virginia) said Thursday that U.S. President Barack Obama should be focusing on the Iranian threat instead of trying to impose a freeze on building for Jews in eastern Jerusalem.

“I do not know what is driving the focus on settlements, but one of the messages we are delivering is that “priorities should be focused on the existential threat that Iran” poses to Israel as well as to the United States," he said. "Eastern Jerusalem should not take precedence. I do not support engaging with a terrorist regime [Iran], and the U.S. must do all it can to encourage allies around the world to join us to put pressure on Iran” through sanctions.

The GOP whip said he has "concerns about the White House’s raising questions to impose requirements on Israel. I cannot understand how anyone can call on our allies to implement its laws.”

Speaking shortly after a visit to the Jewish community of Alfei Menashe in Samaria, Congressman Cantor added that his meeting with Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayyad on Wednesday left him with doubts about Arab sincerity in reaching an agreement with Israel.

It’s not often that we hear an honest account of a meeting with the PA. Good for Cantor.

Obama has no choic other than to follow the sweetest music he knows at sunset - the call to worship.

For HIS foreign policy, that means leave the muslims to do what they want... if they kill some jews? Good! This impacts his Settlements program as the muslim need calls for the suppression of the lowly Jew.

So, that translates to chasing the Jews on the settlements, while allowing the Iranians to proceed uncontested.

Actions speak lowder than words Mr. President!

I am not the only one who sees this man that way....try
