Obama: U.S. Does Not Recognize 'Legitimacy of Continued Israeli Settlements'
Foxnews.com ^ | 09/23/09 | Staff

Posted on 09/23/2009 10:49:53 AM PDT by OldDeckHand

In declaring that it is time for Middle East peace "without preconditions," President Obama used his speech to the U.N. General Assembly Wednesday to fire a warning at Israel that "America does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements."

Obama's stark declaration, which drew applause, was coupled with a call for Palestinians to end their "incitement of Israel."

But it was the use of the U.N. forum to carry the settlement message to Israel that drew the most enthusiastic response on the floor -- and incredulous reaction outside its walls.

Obama just put Israel "on the chopping block," said former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton.

Obama said he met Tuesday with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was not in attendance at the speech, and agreed that the two have made some progress in both strengthening security and facilitating freedom of movement, which have allowed the economy in the West Bank to grow.

But more progress is needed, he said.

Anti-semetic???? I’m quoting the Old Testament. It was not a value judgement either. Yes, Israel is beloved of God (I’m not afraid to use the full spelling either). Yes, God’s eye will never leave them. However, He has, over the course of history, removed His Grace from them when they fell away from His Word. These are facts clearly documented in the Bible. Before you accuse someone you don’t know of being anti-semitic you might (1) know a little more about Israel’s history, and (2) ask questions of the poster as to what he/she was referring to. Making assumptions oft leads to inaccurate perceptions.

When I think of world leaders, I have to think of Bibi as more in tune with my own thinking than that POTUS. Never, ever could have imagined it.

“America is now officially numbered among the enemies of Israel.”

I guess this is the part in the Bible that refers to all nations coming against Israel. I never believed it could happen til bo was elected. End times prophecy is being played out in our lifetimes, right before our eyes.

God help those of us who pray and love Israel. We do not support this treasonous action.

“it’s because the right is historically Christian and the Jews are afraid of becomming Christians.”

Absolute bolderdash. Never met a single Jew who was “afraid of becomming Christian.”

The issue has more to do with being North Eastern urban than anything.

"Fear of organized groups motivated by other faiths is thus deeply ingrained. Add in contemporary notions of what is fashionable intellectually, and you get an indiscriminate mixture of revulsion and prejudice against Christians."

I understand (although don't agree with it) this reflexive fear of all things religious - to the extent that the religion is celebrated by the majority of their host country. Clearly, that hasn't always turned out so well from a Hebrew historical perspective.

What puzzles me however, is this deeply sewn thread of acceptance for socialism and communism that is seen in America's Jewish population, and especially the intellectual and secular Jewish population. What's the historical impetus for that?

We are still armed...and the people are waking up by the millions. There will be another constitutional election, one way or another.

And let me tell you from personal experience, my "stiff necked" co-religionists are immune to fact and reason in this area.

A very good friend of mine is a liberal Jew. I know what you speak of. Although in his case I don't think he will support 0 the next time around.

Well I’m of the U.S. and I DO so stuff it Mr.President.

Infact, better yet, let’s put it to a vote in the Congress. Somehow I think most Dems won’t dare to support your statement. Which if I’m right means it is not the US but OBAMA and Obama solely walking that plank.

Obama is not the U.S. President. The world can have him. He needs to leave now. 2010 will make no difference-this man is on a mission.

I wonder if the Mossad knows anything about a certain Kenyan birth certifcate? There's one outfit I wouldn't want to butt heads with.

I pray that Mossad is prepared with a response for when Obambi orders (at gunpoint, just like in Germany and Soviet Russia) our airmen to shoot down the Israeli jets on their way to take out Iran's nuclear sites.

I don’t know any US fighter pilots who would fire a missile at an Israeli jet.

If you were an American fighter pilot who was told that if you failed to carry out your mission, your parents, wife, children, etc., would be killed, what would you do?

Laugh if you want, but this has been done in the not too distant past, many times.
