Walking out is not always the right thing to do at the UN. The Soviets regretted walking out on the Security Council in 1950 until the end of the cold war, because the US immediately passed the mandate for UN forces in Korea.
The General Assembly is not the same as the Security Council, and they can’t do much more than pass resolutions, but there still may be some procedural rights that you give up if you are absent. I would not necessarily interpret keeping a representative on the floor as a hostile move to Israel. There are MANY other things I would fault the Obama administration for, but not this one.
I think Israel knows both Ahmadinejad’s home and work addresses, and I suspect their missiles are targeted on both those places as well as that well. Ahmadinejad is not going to leave this battle except as little pieces of Iranian trash. And he already fills that description.
Didn’t the United States used to walk out when this used to happen?
I just watched it all. It was very moving and I appreciated the fact that it had captioning. Must be hard to realize your grandparents participated in the Holocaust. I’ve read a number of books that took place during that time....
My Father’s parents came here from Poland.
Reread, or read The Bible all the way through, with prayer for The LORD to show you the things of truth in it. You will know that the Jew is still in existence, and the remnant will repent, believing in Jesus as their Messiah at the end of this age. You will also read about how the Jew, during the time of the gentiles, is temporarily blinded to Spiritual truth. I suggest you start reading your Bible all the way through, chapter, by chapter, daily. The Jew is still here, and is still God's chosen people. It is God who has kept them, and it is God who WILL save them.

Let us all write PM of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu and let him know that we, as Americans, stand with Israel. He must be kept aware of the fact that many, many of love and stand with Israel. Let him know that if it were us, as individuals, who were at that UN meeting we would have walked out with Israel. Israel needs our encouragement and needs to know that Obama does not represent the convictions of many of us, but rather that we are diametrically opposed to his positions concerning Israel.
It wasn't meant to be taken literally.
I agree with your comment .. thank you.
