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.
Maybe Obama first.
The Muslim Obama and his administration ilk are but a dot on the ass of a pig. Their snorting reign comes to an end in about three weeks.
The so-called “Palestinians” (never has there been a country named Palestine) only wish is to kill Israelis...They do not want peace...They only want to kill...
Go get them, Bibi...
The God of Abraham, Isaac & Israel will surely arrange for O’muslimname’s departure long before Jerusalem becomes Israel ceases to by a nation.
In Genesis 12:3, G-d said to Abraham:
“And I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse, and all the families of the earth shall be blessed in you.”
Obama has not only NOT blessed Israel and Abraham’s descendants, he has cursed them in a manner not seen since 1948, when many nations aided and abetted in the attempt by the Arabs to kill baby Israel in its figurative crib. For this he will pay a penalty - which only G-d Himself knows and will execute...but it WILL occur, rest assured. G-d is not a human that He would forget or speak untruths.
It will be a holiday and many religions.
January 20th can’t get here soon enough!

True, but Obama’s terrible stench will linger.
. . .The leader of the PLO, Yasser Arafat, established close collaboration with the Romanian Securitate service and the Soviet KGB in the beginning of the 1970s.[9] The secret training of PLO guerrillas was provided by the KGB.[10] However, the main KGB activities and arms shipments were channeled through Wadie Haddad of the DFLP organization, who usually stayed in a KGB dacha (BARVIKHA-1) during his visits to the Soviet Union. Led by Carlos the Jackal, a group of PFLP fighters accomplished a spectacular raid on the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries office in Vienna in 1975. Advance notice of this operation “was almost certainly” given to the KGB.[9]. . .

Romans 9:17 King James Version
17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew My power in thee, and that My Name might be declared throughout all the Earth.
Obama thinks he’s pretty clever going after Israel. After all, he has gained much of the wealth of the world while he’s doing so.
Good one.
fyi
That sums up all I’ve been concerned about.
There was a country called Palestine and England owned it.
Friends of O.B.L. remember Obama well he has many who hate hate him world wide he can run but never hide.
Ok that was very funny!!!! Because it is true.
