Sources: Obama Administration to Support Anti-Israel Resolution at UN Next Week

Weekly Standard ^ | June 11, 2010 | William Kristol

[Al B.]

THE WEEKLY STANDARD has learned that senior Obama administration officials have been telling foreign governments that the administration intends to support an effort next week at the United Nations to set up an independent commission, under UN auspices, to investigate Israel's behavior in the Gaza flotilla incident. The White House has apparently shrugged off concerns from elsewhere in the U.S. government that a) this is an extraordinary singling out of Israel, since all kinds of much worse incidents happen around the world without spurring UN investigations; b) that the investigation will be one-sided, focusing entirely on Israeli behavior and not on Turkey or on Hamas; and c) that this sets a terrible precedent for outside investigations of incidents involving U.S. troops or intelligence operatives as we conduct our own war on terror.

Worst president EVER.

Not that he’ll listen, but the occupied Whitehouse needs to hear from millions of us about this. We need to support Israel.

[TheThirdRuffian]

I can only think he’s trying to start a war.

I ask why?

[americanophile]

Bastards. The only thing that explains it in my mind is one (or both) of two things:
1. A genuine pro-Arab/Muslim preference on the part of Obama; or
2. A desire to continue to create distance between the U.S. and Israel in order to avoid U.S. blame in case of an Israeli attack on Iran.

To bring the mahdi.

78% of American Jewish voters, can you hear us now? Or do you even give a d@mn? It really perplexes me why goyims like me care more about Israel than you.

[vortigern]

Jack ASS... ...there, fixed!

Barack Hussein Obama can't be seen to support any military action against Muslims. He is the son of a Muslim father, and is technically an apostate from Islam. Essentially, he is on his good behavior. He would be in personal danger if he were to side with Israel.

78% of American Jewish voters, can you hear us now? .... It really perplexes me why goyims like me care more about Israel than you.

Why does it perplex you so? All jews are not Zionists. Wouldn't it make sense that fervent Israel supporting jews would want to move to Israel already?

And that the remainder of the jewish diaspora could be more or less indifferent to Zion, but still be good jews.

[Thane_Banquo]

Given a choice between loyalty to Israel and loyalty to the Democratic Party, most American Jews would gladly send Israelis to the gas chambers.

[C210N]

There is a rationale that applied to presidents in general, and Israel in particular, states that one appearing to be an Israel supporter would bend over backwards for the Arab countries so as to not appear to be favoring one side or the other... and thus, the worst thing for Israel would be a jewish president.

Who would have thunk that this president, who clearly showed prior signs of being pro-Arab, would defy this rationale... and actually be extremely anti-Israel, to the point of undermining them and almost openly plotting for its destruction (and moving its citizens, to their arab neighbors delight, into the Mediterranean).

[Centurion2000]

Now we’ll get to wonder what natural disaster is going to strike the US over the next few months.

[roses of sharon]

Being indifferent to the safety and security of the Israeli people does not a “good Jew” make.

[Def Conservative]

shesh. This guy is HORRIBLE.

[mikeandike]

He’s giving Iran the green light to wipe Isreal off of the map.
