Obama tells Palestinians that Israel is to blame
Israel Today ^ | May 2, 2010 | Staff

US [Alleged] President Barack Obama made clear in a recent letter to the Palestinians that he views Israel as the obstacle to peace and will approach further peace efforts from that point of view, according to senior Palestinian Authority officials.

Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat confirmed for the Bethlehem-based Ma'an news agency that such a letter was sent, and that in it Obama "clarified the US stance on the peace process and Israel's intransigence on the issue of settlements."

Erekat said that the letter contained several assurances to the Palestinians, but refused to go into detail.

A day earlier, London newspaper The Guardian reported on what one of those assurances may be - a proposal to start backing official UN condemnation of any and all Israeli "settlement activity."

Washington has traditionally used its veto power to block any UN resolutions that would put Israel in a difficult position vis-à-vis allowing Jews to build on their ancestral and biblical lands. If the US were to stop vetoing such resolutions, which would likely result in an increase in condemnation, Israel could be forced to implement an unofficial Jewish building freeze across the board and for an unlimited amount of time.

That report would seem to fit with the more vague account of assurances another Palestinian official said the letter contained.

PA secretary general Tayeb Abdel Rahim on Sunday told reporters that the letter made the usual commitments to an independent Palestinian state with territorial continuity. Rahim also said that Obama promised to start publicly assigning blame to those he sees holding up peace and to force Israel into indefinitely extending its temporary settlement freeze.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu implemented the 10-month freeze at the behest of Washington in order to test the Palestinians' readiness to return to the negotiating table. When it was first announced last November, US officials praised Netanyahu for taking "unprecedented" steps for peace. Now that it is clear the Palestinians are not going to respond in kind, the Obama administration appears to be blaming Netanyahu for not having done enough.

I hope America’s Jewish voters are paying attention and get vocal about this.

I don’t know about THE, but at least AN anti-Christ.

I hope America’s Christians are paying attention, and will stop playing around with compromise.

At least it says “[alleged] President.” :)

Happy point aside, I think there is less and less doubt that he is the Antichrist, so many say he’s not, but we have to be wise, even the elect would be fooled if it were possible. I belive that he may very well be. Maybe he’ll get exiled and start something else somewhere, but Satan is crafty, and overt, but very subtle until it’s too late.

This’ll help him sew up the tiny fraction of the Jewish vote he failed to get in 2008.

Compromise is the language of the Devil.

It’s quite possible. If the UN is the Beast, Zero may well be the false prophet or the antichrist himself.

In any event, this is sick, God bless Israel, and she’s had to wipe out idolaterous nations in the past, God speed if she must now.

Obama is an enemy of the God.

"I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."

Genesis 12:3

Think McCain would’ve been doing this? Or be screwing our military? Good job ‘conservatives’ that hated him more than hussein.

Is anyone surprised? Obama has been a Jew-hating Muslim since Day 1. He will continue to sell out Israel and work in the interest of his Arab masters.

The lesser of two evils is still evil.

Not as evil though, which is the smarter choice between the 2. Duh.

He doesn’t have an inkling of who he is messing with. Here’s Zechariah’s Chapter 2:

8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of his eye.
9 For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me.
10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.
11 And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
12 And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.

The apple of his eye. Be careful where you stick your finger, Obie.
