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.

I'm sure Bibi will have a statement on this in the next 24 hours and Obama will not like what he has to say.

Bibi has already folded, there will be a nuclear Iran, there will be chaos, in the end, there will be peace.

The big wave of Jewish immigration coincided with the European emergence of socialism as a secular counterpoint to monarchies that used religion as a legitimizer.

The liberal Jews I know aren't paying close enough attention to even know what he's saying.

Nor anyone else for that matter, we are a pretty small group.

Obama should STFU - Stop The Federal Usurpation.

Personally, I'd use the OTHER version of the acronym on him. Isn't just like this poseur to come out with remarks like this to coincide with both the end of Ramadan and the Jewish Holy Week?

The next Jewish friend of mine who tells me how great this SOB is doing is gonna get my Jewish foot up their Jewish a$$!

If there is war it’ll be the world vs. Israel.

And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone
for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in
pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
Zechariah 12:3
The term “in that day” as used in the Old Testament commonly
indicates what is refered to prophetically as the “end times”

“Obama: U.S. Does Not Recognize ‘Legitimacy of Continued Israeli Settlements”

It must be wonderful to be a jew and know that you voted enthusiastically for this man. This really must give them great joy.

Obama could be impeached.

And pigs could fly.

I would agree with you, but, just for the sake of argument, what if a repentant Obambi supporter took a microphone and hidden camera to a secret Obambi meeting to discuss how to support the terrorists without looking like they were supporting the terrorists.

The tape would be released on the internet, ignored by the media, but championed by American patriots. A 4 million patroit march on Washington, on a weekday, would demand that Congress impeach the traitor, and Congress goes on vacation . . . .

I have yet to see any buyer’s remorse from my Jewish friends. They all voted for Obama. If they want to act like willing sheep and just vote for the Dems, then to hell with them.

Whose interpretation is that?

How about this quote?

Zechariah 12:3-And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone
for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in
pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

Obama is setting himself up like Chavez and Castro to be a president for life.

Bingo! Why is that so hard for people to see?

I fully expect to be flamed for my opinion that is based mostly on anecdotal evidence but here goes anyway.... I maintain that Christians are more strident supporters of Israel than Jews themselves, in America at least.

Surely you jest. Cold sure, but not very likely, even if we had control of the house.

Good grief. Almost 75% of American Jews voted for him.

Guess they got what they paid for. Secular American Jews are fakes.

Israel both left and right have their eye on the ball - Iran. Not the empty words of the Imposter in Chief.

Note that the article redirects the focus to Iran sanctions.

I was trying to keep it Bammy-specific, but that point is still up in the air too, I guess...Shalom...
