White House: US 'to reevaluate' backing for Israel at UN
http://www.telegraph.co.uk ^ | 03/19/2015 | By Peter Foster

The Obama administration made an unprecedented threat to withdraw United States support for Israel at the United Nations on Thursday night after Benjamin Netanyahu cast doubt over his support for a two state solution.

In a sign of how deeply relations between Barack Obama and Mr Netanyahu have now been ruptured, the White House announced it would “re-evaluate” the American veto that has long blocked international efforts to win UN recognition for a two state solution.

“Steps that the United States has taken at the United Nations had been predicated on this idea that the two-state solution is the best outcome”, said Josh Earnest, the White House spokesman. “Now our ally in these talks has said that they are no longer committed to that solution. That means we need to re-evaluate our position in this matter, and that is what we will do moving forward.”

If the US carried out its threat it would be a grave blow to Mr Netanyahu after his election victory, forcing Israeli diplomats to review their own assumption that they can generally count on the superpower’s backing in the chamber of the Security Council.

If the GOP had a spine they would impeach this boy and get him the hell out of our house.

How do you deal with a UNIPARTY?

This potus POS wants you dead or enslaved, along with the other "half" of the UNIPARTY. Mark my words.

Until millions flood the streets, this maniac in the White House will have sway.

I’ve been saying that for the last five years. I’ve also been accused of advocating the violent overthrow of our government. I just don’t think the progressives will voluntarily give up their power regardless of any popular vote. To support my opinion, Obama is seriously talking about mandatory voting.

Hopefully no. It’s clearly. Unconstitutional.
