The forum’s 29 member states include 11 Islamic nations, few of which have diplomatic relations with Israel. It is co-chaired by Turkey’s Islamist government, one of Israel’s most vocal international critics. …

“This is no counterterrorism forum, just judging by the membership.”

You are quite correct. It’s just another way to empower and help the terrorists grow bigger.

Obama - the most effective secret agent al-Qaeda ever had - continues to do the dirty work of his Moslem buddies, as he isolates Israel and makes the world safe for terrorism.
