Obama Threatens to Cut US Support at UN in Israeli Interview
inn ^ | 6/2/15 | Ari Yashar

Posted on 06/02/2015 1:58:52 PM PDT by Nachum

US President Barack Obama gave an interview with Israeli media on Tuesday, in which he threatened that an Israeli refusal to renew peace talks with the Palestinian Authority (PA) will "make it hard" for the US to veto motions in the UN against Israel.

In an interview with Ilana Dayan for Channel 2's "Uvda" (Fact) TV show aired Tuesday night, Obama commented on Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's statements before elections in which he said that a Palestinian state won't be founded on his watch.

Obama noted that later Netanyahu distanced from the statement and "suggested that there is the possibility of a Palestinian state. But it has so many caveats, so many conditions, that it is not realistic to think that those conditions would be met anytime in the near future."

Those conditions have included the recognition of Israel as a Jewish state and demilitarization, conditions that proved problematic in the last round of peace talks that Obama pushed into existence in late 2013.

The president continued, "and so the danger here, is that…Israel as a whole loses credibility. Already the international community does not believe that Israel is serious about a two states solution...the statement the Prime Minister made compounded that...belief that there's not a commitment there."

of course, Obama is running out of ways to saboutage the Jews
....
but he overlooks the obvious, that we live in 2015 not 1955...
and his favorite United Nazis Organization has zero value today....and it regularly, routinely passes anti-Jew resolutions like a crack addict takes his drugs...
over and over and over again

and guess what?
it doesn’t matter...not one whit!

so, go ahead Obama, do your damnedest.
maybe your fellow Nazi pals will select you to become their next UN secretary=general?

Judgement is coming onto America if he continues to stick it to Israel ... God will not be mocked. The bible is clear when it says “I will bless those that bless thee and curse those that curse thee”....

Given the precedent that both Obama and Hillary have set for foreign influence and money in our election system, it sure would be nice if the Mossad were to take an interest in the 2016 election process.

Just saying...

Israel would do well to wean itself off US government money. Many US citizens support Israel but our government grows ever more hostile with each elected Democrat.

“Netanyahu…is somebody who’s predisposed to think of security first. To think perhaps that peace is naive,” he continued. “To see the worst possibilities, as opposed to the best possibilities in Arab partners or Palestinian partners, and so I do think that right now, those politics, and those fears are driving the government’s response. And, I understand it, but…what may seem wise and prudent on the short-term, can actually end up being unwise over the long-term.”

Well, what has 1,400 years of history proven?

Pease is not naïve. Assuming that an adversary that says he wants to destroy you wants peace is naïve. Mr. Obama, YOU are the naïve one.

Israel is forever!

Isn't this just attempted blackmail? Let the Palestinians have a state or we will not support you with our veto powers? Israel should quit the UN tomorrow and add blue helmets to it's approved targeting list. Then announce the decision to leave was to let the American administration know that beyond it's borders, America has no control over any nation especially one that has democratically elected leaders despite the meddling by the current administration's agents sent to unsuccessfuly undermine the integrity of Israeli elections the way they successfully undermined the 2012 elections in America.

And, while they’re at it, Soros too.
Just sayin...
