Netanyahu snubs May over UN settlements vote, Israeli media says
The Guardian ^ | Monday 26 December 2016 10.23 EST | Peter Beaumont in Jerusalem

Posted on 12/26/2016 6:00:47 PM PST by FreeReign

Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has apparently snubbed Theresa May over the UK’s support of a highly critical UN resolution condemning Israeli settlement building.

The move is the latest in a series of diplomatic retaliations by Israel against the countries that supported a UN security council resolution describing Jewish settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories as a “flagrant violation” of international law and an obstacle to peace.

Sharia May is fast becoming a huge disappointment.

We can now add this vote to what is becoming a long charge sheet, of total idiocy and she hasn’t even been in charge a year yet.

The UK has a big problem with her.

Isn’t it part of the end times prophecy that at the end Israel will stand alone?

No, you shouldn't believe that John Hagee / Hal Lindsey bullsh*t.

Ummmm, excuse me, yes, it is end time prophecy that at the end Israel will stand alone.

It's not a Hagee or Lindsey teachings, it's a Biblical teaching. Get your facts straight.

Actually, it's all John Hagee/Hal Lindsey bullsh*t. Too bad so many Americans are deceived by it.

During the British Mandate for Palestine (1918-1948) the Brits kicked the Arab Revolt agitators rear ends. They also kicked the Jewish underground's rear ends. The Brits showed no mercy in quelling the Arab Revbolts (not yet called “Intifadas”) by killing, strafing and knocking off their leaders./

“...He should invite EVERY homeless person in NYC to take up residence in the UN building...”

How do you think these homeless folk will get into the UN?

It’s sovereign territory, it’s NOT the US of A.

Guards and all...

Just tell the UN guards that the homeless people are “migrants” and they will be required to open the doors.

How far the world has fallen from God.

These events are shadows and/or precursors of the future Armageddon.

It was preaching from Godly ministers I heard as a child in the 60’s way before Lindsey and Hagee were even on the “prophecy” map that said that Israel would be eventually attacked from all sides....multiple scriptures say so. Hagee and Lindsey are hacks, trying to spin age old prophecy as some “new found revealed wisdom” that only they themselves know the truth, there-of. Out of that last battle, Christ will rule directly out of the new Jerusalem...or as Job said..”In my flesh, but not this flesh(his current failing body at the time) will I see God standing upon the Earth!” Job was prophesying of his own personal resurrection and of witnessing God in flesh, Jesus Christ as ruling on the Earth! After...the last battle...after Armegeddon!

A more thorough view of Job’s confident assertion of faith from Job 19:23-27

23Oh, that my words were now written! Oh, that they were printed in a book; 24That they were engraved {graven} with an iron pen and lead, in the rock forever! 25For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth; 26And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God, 27Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my heart {reins} be consumed within me.

Peter Hitchens pointed out in his December 11th column that his nation, the UK, is so deep in the hole it needs Saudi money and Saudi business buying British made weapons.

The priorities of the UK in the Middle East have been obvious since the days of T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia).

The UK used to be the master of that relationship, hiring Kurds, Assyrians, Arabs (the Arab Legion) to fight for its past empire.

But now things are the other way around with Bahrain putting up the money to host British forces at their ‘base’ whose job it is to protect the Sunni Arab nations.

The Brits are subservient to the Arabs-Muslims, that explains a lot about the migration-immigration issue in and of itself, much less the negative attitude towards Israel.

AND ONE OTHER POINT, THE USA’S POSITION IS NOT A WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN THE UK’S WITH MANY US COMPANIES-INSTITUTIONS FINANCIALLY INTERCONNECTED WITH THE GULF ARAB WORLD. TRUMP NEEDS TO CHANGE THIS.

BeBe has already said that Israel is not going to accept their rulings. Is the entire world going to invade Israel. I think not right now. The next invasion is going to be found in Ezekiel 38 and 39, and that will be Russia and Iran and a bunch of other nations. God will defend Israel then, not the IDF. God wins.

"The UK has been anti-Israel AND anti-Semitic since before the creation of Israel by the League of Nations post WWI. Should be no surprise they acted as they have."

Your history is a little off there. Israel was created by the UN after WWII.

The Middle East has way too much influence and their oil is why countries put up with their wahabbi crap in the first place. I’m a libertarian by nature, but I am in favor of subsidizing our oil and gas industry, why? Because I look at it as a foreign policy/national defense issue. Almost all of our enemies are petro economies. Blow it up, keep oil below 50 bucks a barrel, implode their countries economy and influence.

That would be a compassionate use of the UN building, but I would prefer to have the UN removed completely from our country.

Allowing despots from around the world to come to this country under the protection of diplomatic immunity sickens me.....to say nothing about the utter uselessness of the UN itself!

Make America Great Again
