Obama officials mum on reports White House weighing sanctions on Israel
Washington Free Beacon, Fox News.com ^ | December 05, 2014 | Adam Kredo

The Obama administration is refusing to discuss reports that emerged early Thursday claiming that the White House is considering imposing sanctions on Israel for continuing construction on Jewish homes in Jerusalem. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf dodged several questions on Thursday when confronted with reports that the administration had held secret internal meetings to discuss taking action against Israel for its ongoing building in East Jerusalem. The classified meetings were reportedly held several weeks ago and included officials from both the State Department and White House, according to the Israeli daily Ha’aretz, which first reported on the meetings. The possibility of sanctioning Israel for its ongoing construction sends a signal that the Obama administration is willing to go further in its denunciations of Israel then any previous White House. At the same time, the White House is vigorously pushing Congress against passing new sanctions on Iran.

Now he's screwing with something dear to G_D. He and his followers will be blessed accordingly.

I don't think the God of the universe is going to be quite so selective. I think that we elected these idiots as a collective action and therefore we as a nation will be held to a higher (as in the Most High) standard as a nation.

The Marxist Muslim is capable of coming up with this idea on his very own.
He hates PM Netanyahu.

“Probably Got the Idea from the Anti-Semitic Bitch Mrs. Cass Sunstine.”

That’s what I thought of.

Maybe it’s time we start praying for the destruction of Obama and others who follow after him. It seems we are too mild as believers. Instead of platitudes and weakness in the face of evil, perhaps we should go to the Lord and pray the Psalms of David? Pray for the end of evildoers like Obama, that he would be sent to judgment for his wicked deeds.

The word teaches us to be “discerning” in such matters. “To be wise as serpents.”
When you look at this man....What does your spirit say, deep down inside. Do you embrace him or are you repulsed? Simple as that.
Love of Christ

Obama has his eye on taking over as the ISIS caliph when he’s done destroying the US.

Yep. And the democrats will still get the majority of Jew voters.

I hope God makes his move soon. I told my wife last night “I hope I live long enough to see these people punished.”

...we as a nation will be held to a higher (as in the Most High) standard as a nation.

Yes, I believe as you, as a nation G_D will bless us as we bless Israel. But as individuals, I believe we are to elect righteous men and women to represent us. Because we have rebuked HIS teachings and become "luke warm" on both issues as of late, I think HE is allowing our nation to decline despite the prayers and activism of the conservative right. And as a nation, I think the majority of our citizens still believe there is a G_D and many are praying for our restoration. But G_D has a bigger plan and we are not the focus.

Putting restrictions on Israel is a deliberate attempt by the Obama administration to weaken Israel. But know this, HE is sovereign and HIS plan will be fulfilled in all its fullness. In the end righteousness will prevail. So as believers, the best we can hope for is to get with G-D's plan and He will bless us and our nation. I don't believe Obama and his administration are acting with G_D's blessing, neither are they onboard with G_D's plan for Israel. They are a curse upon this nation.

These are my beliefs, your mileage may vary.

As a filthy sinner, old white racist devil, and general all around conservative a$$hole, I kneel before the one true G_D, confess my sins, and ask for forgiveness through his son. That being said, does Obama have a son named Jesus?

The guy now expects the World to bend it’s knee to him! Throwing his weight around on the International Stage using sanctions or bribes to get nations to bend to his will....Oh Kerry has failed thus far so he resorts to this!

EVERYTHING obama does either:
a) Weakens America/Americans
b) Distances America's allies
c) Strengthens America's enemies
d) Serves Islam
e) Harms Israel
Or some combination of the above.
I have yet to have anyone raise a single substantive counter example in several years of posting this.

I think we're both members of the family of Christ and I think we're pretty much on the same page. Blessings to you and yours!

Actually, the President may not be involved. The article speaks of officials.

To me, the talk is bravado resulting from frustration that the minions can’t force Israel to their will. There was a leak.....

Who leaked? Bibi?
