Obama Admin Is Anti Israel

[deacon blues]

Breaking long time precedent, the Obama administration fails to veto a UN Security Council resolution condemning Israel for building settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem. As a lame duck president this is truly a classless act, something that the Bush Administration did not do to him as he was coming into office. When needing to get reelected Obama would've never thought to do something like this knowing the political fallout would have been strong. Now that he's leaving office, leaving a Democrat party in its weakest position in many decades, Obama shows us what we already knew about him: he is anti-Israel. But then again most Muslims are!

That pretty well sums it up. I wouldn't mind if we adopted a neutral policy and became a like the Swiss, but to adopt an anti-Israel policy is nuts. Biblical viewpoints aside, they are the only sane nation in that region.

We should pull out of the U.N. and kick them out of the U.S.A.

PM Netanyahu is saying that Israel has proof that President Obama was behind the effort to bring the resolution to the Security Council. The man brokers deals with our enemies and betrays our allies.

Worst foreign policy president in American history. Good riddance.

Israel needs to cool down. There are displacing Palestinian Christians and Muslims and are demolishing homes, businesses, and neighborhoods for settlements in disputed territories. If Israel wishes to have our help, they have to deal righteously with Palestinian civilians. If Israel is so certain that the disputed territories are indeed their own, they can halt settlement and allow for due process.

Israel is like a spoiled child that needs to be spanked every now and then. We do no justice to them by tolerating their illegal actions. We are a friend to Israel. And friends often have to tell friends painful truths and do what is necessary to stop a friend from making bad situations even worse.

I fear that Zionistic doctrines have infiltrated Christianity in America to the point that we put Israel on a pedestal and give them a free pass when they need to be sat down in time out. If Israel doesn't cool its jets, they'll drag us into WWIII. The modern nation state of Israel isn't ancient biblical Israel. Biblical Israel is a monarchy. Modern Israel is a socialist democracy.

Kerry: "Israel Can Either Be Jewish or Democratic — It Cannot Be Both"

First of all, Mr. Secretary, who are you to tell Israel anything?

Secondly, why don't you ever tell Muslim countries, "You can be Muslim or Democratic, but you can't be both"?
I will rejoice when this clown takes a hike.

Well if America is to be true to our value of democracy and if Israel wants to retain its ties to the strong democracies of the west, then Israel is going to have to compromise and that is the message we have to stand by for the sake of consistency.

Israel's LARGEST AID PACKAGE EVER was put together by the Obama Administration.

38 BILLION DOLLARS!!!

Reagan's record in the UN concerning Israel was more critical of Israel than Obama has been.

Reagan abstained from 7 UN resolutions criticizing Israel.

Obama has abstained from 1 UN resolution criticizing Israel.

The anti-Obama spin of some political talkingheads and its regurgitation of that spin by people who refuse to look at the whole picture is simply nauseating.
