In testimony last week before the House committee in charge of State Department funding, US Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power acknowledged that the Obama administration intends to abandon the US’s 50 year policy of supporting Israel at the United Nations.
After going through the tired motions of pledging support for Israel, “when it matters,” Power refused to rule out the possibility that the US would support anti-Israel resolutions in the UN Security Council to limit Israeli sovereignty and control to the lands within the 1949 armistice lines – lines that are indefensible.
Such a move will be taken, she indicated, in order to midwife the establishment of a terrorist-supporting Palestinian state whose supposedly moderate leadership does not recognize Israel’s right to exist, calls daily for its destruction, and uses the UN to delegitimize the Jewish state.
In other words, the Obama administration intends to pin Israel into indefensible borders while establishing a state committed to its destruction.
In about a week, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s new government will be sworn in. The new government will have no grace period before it will be called upon to forge and implement policies to lead Israel through perhaps the most trying time in its history.
Clearly, developing the means to cope with our deteriorating relations with the US is one of the most urgent issues on the agenda. But it is not the only issue requiring the attention of our leaders.

We have had Affirmative Action, ethnic quotas, and massive legal immigration in the USA for 40 years.
The result?
Our government and culture have moved relentlessly to the Left, ethnic crime rates are ignored or excused, and lack of ethnic achievement is blamed on latent racism.
No amount of sacrifice or risk by Israel will ever be enough to wash away the pathology of Jew hatred that infects every Arab, living inside or outside of Israel.
Notwithstanding he is supposed to step down in 2017, Obama has precious little time to reestablish the Caliphate, which means no Israel.
