A headline that would become famous appeared in the New York Daily News in October 1975 after then-President Gerald Ford denied federal assistance to spare the city from bankruptcy. It read: "Ford to City: Drop Dead."
President Obama has told Israel much the same. By instructing his U.N. ambassador not to veto a resolution condemning Israel for building so-called settlements on disputed land, the president has aided and comforted that nation's enemies. The U.S. abstention will inevitably invite stepped-up attacks against Israelis, as well as calls for more boycotts by the European Union, whose ugly anti-Semitic past and present is well documented.
In the Middle East, symbols can be more important than substance, and this symbolic act will send a strong message to Israel's enemies.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the resolution a "shameful ambush" and "distorted," noting, "It states that the Jewish quarter and Western Wall (in Jerusalem) are occupied, which is absurd." Netanyahu, who has had a tense relationship with President Obama, suggested he expects better relations between the U.S. and Israel after Donald Trump becomes president.
Netanyahu likes to cite history to show how the Jews were in the land long before Arab peoples showed up and started rewriting the past to the point that it belongs in the fiction section of bookstores.
What makes anyone think that what Israel does, or does not do, has any effect on the behavior and declared religious mandate of those dedicated to eliminating the country and killing and/or expelling every Jew from it? Did unilaterally relinquishing Gaza bring Israel closer to peace? It did not. Instead, it invited Hamas to use the region as a launching pad for terrorist attacks. It is the same with agreements between Palestinian and Israeli leaders. Israel released terrorist prisoners and got more terror. Israel gave up land and got more terror. Only the deliberately blind and deaf who refuse to believe the stated and repeated goals of Palestinian leadership and much of the Arab world (and Iran) to eliminate Israel still think that the key to peace and stability lies solely with that country.
Only the self-deluded think the establishment of a separate Palestinian state will result in peace. Such a state would most certainly be used as a base for a modern "final solution" against Israel.
What kind of state would the Palestinians establish? Their leaders have already said it would be one without Jews. Netanyahu noted that in any other scenario this would be seen as "ethnic cleansing," but because much of the world hates Jews and is embarrassed by Israel and its prosperity, it applies a different standard to the Palestinians.
The late Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin once told me that while Israel needs friends, it could never fully trust any nation for its security. The Obama administration's refusal to veto the U.N. resolution is more proof he was right.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) says he will ask Congress to stop sending money to the U.N. until the resolution is repealed. His proposal is gaining support among some pro-Israel Democrats. Netanyahu has announced the termination of programs and aid to nations that voted in favor of the resolution and recalled some of his country's ambassadors from those states.
At a time when Jews the world over are celebrating Hanukkah and the miracle of lights, Barack Obama has attempted to turn out the light on the Jewish state. Israel will survive, because it has survived worse than a U.N. resolution, but the action will only encourage her enemies, which include every nation that voted for this resolution and engaged in boycotts of Israeli products and businesses.
The prophet Isaiah wrote: "Speak tenderly to Jerusalem" (Isaiah 40:2). The Psalmist said: "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem" (Psalm 122:6). In his final insult to Israel, President Obama has spoken harshly and ensured there will be more war, not peace. The Nobel committee should demand he return his prematurely awarded Peace Prize.
The look on his face is demonic.
“...The look on his face is demonic.....”
He is demonic by every definition of the word.
In the spirit world, he’s an evil slithery, slimy, dangerous, lizard-like creature. much like Gollum....but worse. Kinda of a cross between Gollum and the Alien beast.
The nuclear launch codes should be pulled from the evil insane POS immediately.
I loathe and despise this arrogant pos
He definitely has a seething hatred for Israel and the God of Israel.
We have not forgotten how many times he’s “accidentally” left “God” out of historic documents he’s quoting.
This is obviously by design.
His plot was exposed by Israel and Egypt to be presented to the next Administration.
Hopefully they see it and tweet undeniable proof of a prior administration trying to sabotage Middle East peace.
President-Elect Trump: Please tell the Israel-hating Barack Hussein Obama: You can’t spell Jerusalem without USA!

Oh ok, my late boss said he was only a citizen of Palestine in his youth. And the pass was Great Britain. Makes sense, thanks for correcting me.
No problem....
Very well said. That arrogant pos is to ignorant though to notice it.
Obama’s day before the Great White Throne is going to be just as bad as Hitler, Stalin and all the other Jew haters and killers.
Will the liberals still be laughing when these ‘new’ Obama releases are aired?
Is what they have tried to do to Israel and Russia this week, an attempt to defuse these upcoming Obama releases?
If and when this happens, how much of it has been on Free Republic for 8+ years and laughed at by liberals and pearl clutching faux conservatives?
Not that long ago, Obama would have immediately been branded an anti-Semite. Today, the administration gets away with this chutzpah about “the most pro-Isreal administration in history” which has been a Big Lie since Day One.
I’ll never forget Creepy Joe Biden telling Sarah Palin during the 2008 VP debate that if he suspected Obama was against Israel, he would never agree to join the ticket. Well, here’ they’ve been nuking up Iran and playing footsies with the PLO and STILL they insist they are pro-Israel.
The truth is that the Democrat party found it more lucrative to cozy up to Islamic oil regimes for the money they could take in and then do the Muzzies’ bidding while continuing to tell their own Jews how pro-Israel they are.
Traitors. True traitors. No Jew should fall for this lie yet millions apparently do.
That expression on dear reader’s face looks like hate. He hates Jews in Israel.
It is a pattern.
At a minimum, he is of the antichrist spirit....
“Obama to Israel: Drop Dead”
Israel to Obama: “You are dead....on Jan. 20th”
I wouldn’t want to be in Obama’s shoes after Jan 20th.
He has nowhere to go and nowhere to hide.....
