Israel faces a unique window of danger from Nov. 9 to Jan. 20: What might President Obama do in his final days in office to slam the Jewish state?
Start with Secretary of State John Kerry’s recent flat refusal to promise a US veto on any upcoming anti-Israel resolution in the UN Security Council.
On Saturday, Haaretz reports, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Kerry he’s counting on Washington to stick to its policy of nixing anti-Israel resolutions. Kerry’s reply: The administration has yet to make a decision on the matter.
For Kerry to leave any doubt that America would shield Israel at the United Nations is bad enough. But concerns about what Team Obama might do go far beyond that.
In a recent Bloomberg column, Eli Lake reports on the threat of “a last-minute [Obama] speech, an executive order or UN action” at Israel’s expense. He notes that Obama might even recognize a Palestinian state.

I can see Putin vetoing anti-Israel resolution and making Obama look like the ultimate chump.

It’s a valid fear. Timing is everything, and few have it. The US should have invaded Cuba right after the Wall fell.
Israel should have attached Iran between Obama’s getting elected but before his inauguration, while Bush was still in office but exposed to limited blowback.
attached = attacked
I believe that it is baked into the cake that the United States will not veto that Security Council resolution. I think there is a very distinct possibility that he will also recognize a Paleoswinian state.
I’m also convinced that those will not be the biggest items in the news at the time, as momentous as they would be. Either the election will be in the midst of being contested, with accusations of Russian meddling if Hillary appears to have lost, but there is, I fear, a very real possibility of us being in a shooting war with the Russians. Obama and Kerry seem intent upon provoking Russia, and the only reason that I can think of is that it will cause a national emergency and either allow the suspension of the election, and/or provide justification 4 him to declare a state of emergency as a result of both of war and supposed (and almost certainly false claims of) Russian meddling in our election. It may well be that this is the gambit that Obama utilizes to stay in office. Be sure that if he does anything even remotely like this, the state of emergency declared will assuredly require that all civilians turn in their firearms. You can take that to the bank.
Can’t say as I blame them. I’m kinda fearful about what he’ll do to us too.
America and the West will never be weaker than on BO’s last day. It’s been downhill since his inauguration. A good military strategist would be bracing for an attack during the transition period.
Wouldn’t that be height of irony!
I can imagine, however, that such an action will be spun by Obama as an act of hostility against this country, and will be combined with (false) accusations of Russian meddling in our election and attacks on our troops or planes in Syria, to cause a war. Obama just does not want to leave office, and I think he is perfectly willing to and capable of allowing several American cities to be nuked in order to do that.
I sincerely hope that these fears are nothing more than my paranoia. However, I do not trust Obama as far as I can throw an aircraft carrier.
Gee, that’s tough. Israel and Netanyahu played footsie with President Osama and Sec. Clinton, and NOW Israelis think they should be afraid?
After November 8, when the people have made their choice, Barry should just be ceremonial and go around opening post offices and playing golf. No more “presidenting”.

Obama’s hatred of Israel is mild compared to Illiarily’s.
The Chelsea Clinton fundraiser that should worry Hillary’s pro-Israel backers

For $250,”friends” — or $1000 for a “champion” (photo included) — you too can attend a fundraiser with Chelsea Clinton for her mother at the home of Michael and Sholeh Chegini in Newport Coast, California, according to an invitation to the event obtained by Right Turn. Michael Chegini served on the board of directors and thereafter the advisory board of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), a notorious group with links to the Iranian regime that opposed, among other things, any sanctions on Iran.
“The Clintons never miss an opportunity to put money ahead of principle,” a spokesman for the Republican Jewish Coalition told me. “They should know better than raising money from folks whose primary concern has been supporting the NIAC — a notorious supporter of the Radical Islamic Mullahs in Iran. Instead as is always the case, the Clintons have thrown principle out the window in exchange for cold hard cash.”

It does however suggest that the Clintons are quite comfortable with taking money from people with ties to apologists for the Iranian regime. It is not clear whether this falls under the category of the Clintons willingness to take money for themselves and their foundation from scoundrels and despots (e.g. Arab countries that oppress women, Russian uranium oligarchs) or whether this signals specifically that propagandists for Iran would have Hillary Clinton’s ear should she make it to the White House. Former ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton sees it as the latter. “This is yet more evidence that a Clinton foreign policy on Iran will be no different from what we have now,” he told me.

I don’t believe that there is a chance in the world that he is going to just run out the clock on his presidency. It is his last chance to truly screw over this country, and he will not let it pass by. Count on that.
Rarely is anything nipped in the bud; instead, it is allowed to grow until it bears the bitter fruit of armed conflict/world war.
Much more danger if Hillary gets in and decides to finish the "kikes"....
Bibi, so do we.
