Reports: Obama Mulling Sanctions on Israel
Free Beacon ^ | 12/4/14 | Adam Kredo

Posted on 12/04/2014 5:07:17 PM PST by Nachum

The Obama administration is refusing to discuss reports that emerged early Thursday claiming that the White House is considering imposing sanctions on Israel for continuing construction on Jewish homes in Jerusalem.

State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf dodged several questions on Thursday when confronted with reports that the administration had held secret internal meetings to discuss taking action against Israel for its ongoing building in East Jerusalem.

The classified meetings were reportedly held several weeks ago and included officials from both the State Department and White House, according to the Israeli daily Ha’aretz, which first reported on the meetings.

The possibility of sanctioning Israel for its ongoing construction sends a signal that the Obama administration is willing to go further in its denunciations of Israel then any previous White House.

Likely he believes threatening sanctions will harm Netanyahu in the upcoming elections. Paint him as the Prime Minister who can't relate to The One. But he might attempt to do it, as The One he doesn't need Congress any more, and clearly as The One he determines where Jews live and where they're not allowed.

Like all others who are now against the obola administration it is probably only because of the economy.

He is not expecting any wrath from Allah. He will expect blessings, or whatever false promises was written in the Koran.

God is just. Whatever a nation did to Israel, God did to that nation. So we really should just stay the course. Do we have a course or do freepers just like to talk and listen? we have an activist heading, does that count?

what about locally after work??? What about the weekend? State Capitals, congressional offices. Hey, want to make the news? try taking a picture of ANY federal building. Meet at the local Federal Courthouse. Not hard, even a community organizer could get it going. Those who signed the Declaration or fought under Washington had families.

what was on the paper? that would make a great thread.

It did not say, “Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God is One.”

Actually, legalizing child sacrifice in 1973 did it for the US. Why weren’t there riots back then?

American Jews voted overwhelming for Obama in ‘08 and ‘12. So they are getting what they voted for. A majority of Gentiles voted for Obama in ‘08 and ‘12. They are getting what they voted for. Those of us that did not vote for him in either ‘08 or ‘12 are getting screwed. So everyone is getting something from him.

In some liberal areas they would just run over the conservatives on the interstate, and Holder and Obama would back them up.

I worked with Jewish guy that was a communist. His parents were communists that migrated over from Russia and worked with the labor unions here to transform this country.

Abortion has been our demise given by the political elite, blood sacrifice of children to molech. But condemning Israel is another mark against this nation.
