Israel-US relations suffering 'tectonic rift'
The Woodward Report ^ | June 28, 2010

Israel's ambassador to US says Washington-Tel Aviv ties worse than a crisis under Obama.

TEL AVIV - Israeli-US relations have undergone a huge shift amounting to what Israel's ambassador to Washington has termed "a genuine tectonic rift," media reports said on Sunday.

Briefing officials at the foreign ministry last week, ambassador Michael Oren described the state of ties between Israel and its closest ally as worse than a crisis, something akin to that of two continents drifting apart.

According to one diplomat quoted by the Haaretz daily, Oren used bleak terms to explain the changes which have taken place under the administration of US President Barack Obama.

"Relations are in the state of a tectonic rift in which continents are drifting apart," Oren was quoted as saying by the diplomat.

Another diplomat who spoke to the top-selling Yediot Aharonot daily said there had been an historic change in Washington's approach to Israel.

"There is no crisis in Israel-US relations because in a crisis there are ups and downs," he quoted Oren as saying.

Both papers quoted Oren as attributing the shift in sentiment to "interests and cold considerations" by Obama who did not have the same historical-ideological bent towards Israel as his predecessors...

It appears that THe Regime wishes to divide Jerusalem or give it to ‘Palestinians,’ make a PA state, support Israel’s enemies, evict Israeli citizens from their land and stop housing construction for Israel. Then there’s the subversion of Israeli national and defense interests, irrespective of anything ‘said’ in press releases or TOTUS words.

God is not mocked. He has specifically said he will curse those who curse His people. He has also said He will do unto those who act against Israel with the same actions such people/nations take.

Too bad it’s collective punishment. We will all pay for their insanity.

Only when he is not running for office or being covered by a shyster MSM.

Just like RORY is not a REID unless he is collecting DemocRAT donations.

There are two ideologies fighting for the ownership of this world, marxism and radical Islam.

And then there is us. Whoever conquers our ideology will own the world and right now we have a Marxist named Hussien as our leader.

We are in deep doo doo.

Now, y’all might of heard rumors about the election happening soon. Well, we’ll be working a little earlier. Were gonna be dropped into FreeRepublic, dressed as mods. And once were in FReeper territory, as a bushwackin guerrilla army, were gonna be doing one thing and one thing
only... Zotting Trolls. Members of Democratic Underground
elected Obama through clever marketing, lies, intimation, and terror. And that’s exactly what were gonna do to them. Now, I don’t know about y’all, but I sure as hell didn’t come down from the Smoky Mountains, cross five thousand miles of water, fight my way through half the internet and then join Free Republic to teach the Trolls lessons in humanity. Trolls aint got no humanity. They’re the foot soldiers of a Conservative-hatin, baby murderin maniac
and they need to be zotted. That’s why every son of a Pelosi we find wearin a Troll uniform, they’re gonna get zotted. We will be cruel to the Trolls and through our cruelty they will know who we are. They will find the evidence of our cruelty in the mocked, zotted, disfigured accounts their brothers we leave behind us and the Trolls will not be able to help themselves from imagining
the cruelty their brothers endured at our hands, at our boot heels, and the edge of our keyboards. And the Trolls will be sickened by us, the Trolls will talk about us and the Trolls will fear us. And when the Trolls close their eyes at night and their subconscious tortures them for the evil they’ve done, it will be with thoughts of us that it tortures them with. Sound good?

Zot!

Thanks antiobamacare. Warning all -- Haaretz alert:
Briefing officials at the foreign ministry last week, ambassador Michael Oren... According to one diplomat quoted by the Haaretz daily... "Relations are in the state of a tectonic rift in which continents are drifting apart," Oren was quoted as saying... Another diplomat who spoke to the top-selling Yediot Aharonot daily said there had been an historic change in Washington's approach to Israel. "There is no crisis in Israel-US relations because in a crisis there are ups and downs," he quoted Oren as saying.

Amazing. It's as if our mysteriously undocumented Communist Muslim Usurper is somehow opposed to God's people...

Judgment coming. Vast, total Judgment.
