Report: US planning to take tougher line against Israel
Arutz Sheva ^ | 7/5/16 | David Rosenberg

Posted on 05/07/2016 4:17:36 PM PDT by Eleutheria5

The Middle East Quartet, made up of the US, EU, UN, and Russia, is scheduled to release a major policy report later in coming weeks, and senior diplomats involved in its drafting have indicated that the US is taking a far harder line on Israel than in the past.

The report, which is likely to be released in late May or early June, will focus heavily on Israeli construction in Judea, Samaria, and Jerusalem, senior diplomats told AP. The Quartet’s report will also take Israel to task for the demolition of illegal Arab buildings – many of which were built with the support of the European Union.

While in the past the US worked to soften some of the criticism against Israel leveled by the EU, UN, and Russia, now, say officials working on the Quartet report, US diplomats are pushing for harsher language against the Jewish state.

One diplomat said the report was the Obama administration’s way of putting Israel “on notice” that its patience was wearing thin.

Other officials involved in the drafting of the document claimed the report will also criticize Israel for the legalization of some Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.

News of the Quartet report comes amid leaks indicating the Obama administration is considering unprecedented moves to force Israel and the Palestinian Authority to the negotiating channel. One option reportedly on the table is a United Nations Security Council Resolution to layout the frame work for a final status agreement...

What gives Obama and Val the right to take land
from another country?

Answer: The same right that lets them arm al Qaeda,
start ISIS, leaking critical intel and assets.
They swore on the Koran and not the Bible.

Only would a Marxists president get upset from Jewish citizens living where they please in their own country.

Imagine his outrage if the same were done with blacks...

Excuse me, but I live in the U.S. and am an American and I have a say to what goes on in my Country and I don’t like this one bit...so take your ‘ideas’ and go somewhere else.

Israel was given to the people from God, it’s their land, their Nation and they can do whatever in the hell they want with it, and these people who think they OWN us, can go to hell!!!

Just another reason to keep Herself out of the White House. What the Current Occupant and ValJar have begun, Herself would surely carry to fruition.

March the FJB’s into the sea. This will satisfy the SJW’s and their BDS campaign.

The “Palestinians” will be so grateful. < /sarcasm >

It’s very much the same. Leftists shriek Apartheid, but that sword cuts both ways. If Arabs should be free to live in Kiryat Arba, Jews must be free to live in Khalkhoul, or at least accidentally wander into Ramalleh without being dismembered and eaten.

Time for Trump to bring out the pictures of Hillary kissing Sufi Arafat. Run those ads all over NY and Florida.

Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. Both Donald and Barak Hussein each have a cadre of Secret Service Agents protecting them. The best you can hope for is that they film a reality show, called Get the Hell Out of My House! in which the two cadres duke it out with their hot shot martial arts moves. The wining cadre gets to get their man inaugurated.

The ones where Suha talks about Jooos! using poison gas to cause birth defects, or the one behind closed doors where Hillary sticks her tongues down Suha’s throat.

Any tougher a line would require a direct American invasion.

Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. Just because the Americans invade does not mean a return to the White Paper of 1939 (oops).

I understand that perspective but God took that land away from the Jews just as much as he gave it to them. Jews living there now live there because tough, determined, Jews, TOOK, that land they considered to be their homeland and did so with most of the world opposing them, not just the local Arabs.

They have nothing to apologize for because it was a British Mandate and the Brits handled that mandate by saying, "sure, here you go" thinking the Jews could never hang on. Well, they did far more than hang on and it was the people doing the fighting and building the nation not God handing them anything on a sliver platter so don't sell them short.

Like I say, I understand the "God gave them the land" stuff but it sells a lot of brave people short by making it seem like God was paving the way for them when their own guts and sweat was what paved the way.

God had a hand in giving them a shot, but they did the work and were far more diligent in working at building their nation than they were about obeying God in the two centuries leading up to their stupid revolt against Rome.

“”Bibi will come over here and bust your face, Obama...””

If he didn’t have more important items on his plate, he could come over here and tell obozo how he should keep the illegals and ME refugees/terrorists out of our country. He really needn’t even be here to do that but he should get air time in Israel to do it...Isn’t turnabout fair play?
