Israel’s ambassador to the U.S. on Monday contemptuously dismissed White House deputy national security advisor Ben Rhodes’ denials that the Obama administration played a key behind-the-scenes role in getting a resolution condemning Israel through the U.N. Security Council, describing him as an “expert at fiction.”

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s government says it has “iron-clad” information indicating that the Obama administration had a role in the crafting and passage of the resolution that passed Friday in the absence of a U.S. veto.

Ambassador Ron Dermer told MSNBC the Israeli government had proof that it would share that evidence with the incoming Trump administration — which “can decide whether they want to share that with the American people.”

“We’re obviously not going to share it with this [Obama] administration because this administration is behind it,” he charged. …

We all knew that Obama was going to pull stunts at the end of his term..but the way he is doing it with no care for the repercussions astonishes even me.

The Obama Legacy is being cemented. History will not be kind - He has literally destroyed the Democrat Party.

Not a bad thing.

"Not me, in fact I suspect we have more incoming to deal with."

I suspect you you are right. With the Paris two state conference meeting in mid January in Paris, I suspect that Obama is going to try and use the conference and the UN to impose a two state “solution” and force Israel to withdraw to the indefensible 1967 borders. Israel will refuse, of course and Europe and the OIC will then impose an economic boycott or worse. Trump will need to break the UN to stop this.

He wants his destruction to spread further wide than that. The Dems are just incidental.

The [CTRL] [ALT] [LEFT] term for “fiction” is “fake news.”

The UN was a farce from the very beginning, what with Alger Hiss’ machinations resulting in the charter being a clone of Stalin’s USSR constitution.

And if General Assembly resolution 3379 declaring Zionism (the idea of creating the Jewish state) “racism” wasn’t wake-up call enough, then will this present UNSC resolution 2334 be?

Let me see, who do I believe, Obama’s hack Ben Rhodes or the Israeli ambassador. Not a hard choice, the ambassador — which is a sorry state of affairs

The Clinton gang was just being petulant when they trashed the White House and stole furniture on the way out. This Obama gang is much worse. They are engaging in deliberate sabotage.

I believe Israel - they will show Trump the info because they trust him. He will work with them to let the world know w/o compromising Mossad.
