U.S. Threatens to Back UN Against Israel

[DonViejo]

Source: TDB/Foreign Policy

Benjamin Netanyahu’s victory in the Israeli elections this week may push American officials to support a UN-led solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Western diplomats say. Though the U.S. has historically been wary of Security Council resolutions on the topic, the Israeli prime minister’s latest proclamations may have changed their minds. In the final hours of his re-election bid, Netanyahu publicly declared his opposition to a two-state solution, which is the basis of U.S. peace negotiations. On Wednesday, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki was cagey about a U.S. response. “We’re currently evaluating our approach," she said. “We’re not going to prejudge what we would do if there was a UN action.”

1. If the UN resolution calls for a two state solution, the U.S. will back it most likely, however, if

the resolution is written calling for sanctions etc. against Israel, I doubt very much the U.S. will back it

[BillZBubb]

2. As always, the US will cover for Israel.

This is an empty threat. The Democrats don't have the backbone to play hardball.

[Fred Sanders]

3. Threatens?.....Try "Considers"? Everything has to be a "slam" or a " threat"? Media False equivalency.

The campaign to Protect Bibi's Apartheid Nation begins.... and, of course, the smear campaign to paint Obama as "anti-Semitic" takes on new urgency.

Remember The Dixie Chicks.

Republicans will lose to Shrillary or her replacement if only by the slightest of margins because of the progressive/communists that control the media under the command of George Soros and John Steyer. We have seen this infiltration of our government, media and schools by Statists who have subverted our constitution and lawlessly implement their socialist measures upon us against our will.

We cannot risk the republic and civilization on a political party and that is why we must no longer refer to ourselves as Republicans, TEA Party members or conservatives as those terms have been maligned by the communist media. We are now “Constitutionalists” as it is the correct name and it is bulletproof. It is time for the government to fracture along the lines that separate the Constitutionalists and the Progressive/Communists that have infiltrated and overrun our republic.

Here are your choices now:

1) The Fossils

2) The Communists

3) Me, who has the balls, the brains and the plans for fixing this mess.

You know that there really is no choice. It is my way or death, for our enemies are gathered to destroy us and our treasonous president has welcomed them in. Unleash your Beast America.

First. Finish the fence and seal the border. Then send the Canadian and American military South of the border all the way dawn to Panama to prepare them for proper interface with the North.

Second. Have a Convention of States and dissolve the United States of America.Steps two and three are accomplished simultaneously.

Third. Re-Form the new nation to include all previous territories and will span from Panama to Alaska including Japan.

This will be the first formed nation of the new order that will be based upon the pre-progressive era (pre-1913) U.S. Constitution and governmental structure. It will serve as the template for the rest to follow. The gangs from Panama to Alaska know I have included the salvageable among them in my plans (ones that have not raped or murdered) to restore and enlarge the republic, when no one else considered them. They will be there to help through me if society crumbles.If we do not take Central America now, Russia and China will.

Just letting everybody know. I am running as Libertarian in 2016. It will become known as the Saints Row IV campaign and presidency that is rooted in reasoning in the spirit of Socrates. My plans for the nation and the world are based upon pure reason and people love them as will you. After November, the sane must coalesce in the Libertarian party. We will take it over, forget who is there now. The two parties and their trappings can no longer be trusted with the presidency and our lives. As a direct descendant to Martha Washington (George was sterile) I will win and I will not embarrass or disappoint this nation. At nineteen years old, I was part of a suicide squad for the Army on the border of E. Germany as a nuclear artilleryman and I hold the original patents for monitored firearm storage and was the original Smart Holster Project for the National Institute of Justice. College math scores and high school English scores at age six, etc. Google my name Dennis R. Torii, Jr., and scroll down for the 3 plans for national and global reconstruction that create the New Order. Now, let's have some fun. This will not be a normal campaign. This is about the end of politics and the beginning of global governance. We will end up with ten Democratic republics that stay the hell out of our lives. Organic in structure.We will do this as One.

Obama is a despicable, corrupt, Muslim loving traitor. He should be tried for his crimes against America and hung.

LOL

So, he's a strict constitutionalist but wants to dissolve the United States! LMAO

Edit: Now he's resorted to actual threats:

America, I am sorry but those of you who support this president at this juncture are either stupid or are hard core communists. Either way, you are dangerous and are now enemies of the state, Do not take this lightly

This guy needs his medicine.

5. Cut him off, NOW.

Why are we funding this racist murderer who wants nothing more than the war to continue - forever!! No More Funds to expand settlements, not one penny and reduce payments by the amount that has been spent illiegally by Israel on them. Don't side with Israel when they start wars or take other illegal actions. Why should we support these crazy people? it's bad enough that too many crazies are running things here, shouldn't support the exporting of the madness.

7. OMG - Welcome to the paranoid ramblings of a USAF Vet:

People who know me know that I've been pretty critical of Obama, but this is just so unreal. Wow, just absolute wow (from the comments):

Barack Obama is a person with many "talents". He is obviously a persuasive speaker to many; certainly not to all of us. Many of us recognize that he is a better "reader" since almost everything he says is pre-orchestrated and calculated. He is also a very accomplished liar. I'm not sure if "congenital" would be provable but he is certainly a pathological and sociopathic liar. Yet, the left wing either can not discern this or they can and choose to ignore it. Neither changes the fact. Barack is a self proclaimed "student of history". He says he is a student of Abraham Lincoln. That might explain how he so cleverly employs President Lincoln's "a house divided can not stand". He certainly is an accomplished "divider" and uses the Lincoln mantra as that stepping stone.



Speaking colloquially, Barack's mother got the hots for a "black" experience and found her wiling victim in Barack's supposed "dad" who was a Kenyan, already married, but not about to turn down the young white woman from Kansas. Knocking her up with a b__ stard son was not a problem for him at all. It would turn out to be a problem for her because there's a great likelihood that she gave birth to Barack in Kenya and some days later flew into Honolulu to achieve American birth-rights for this illegitimate Kenyan. Now whether I'm right about all that or not is really not the question as far as I'M concerned. For any reader who is agnostic or atheist; you may as well stop reading right here. This is not for you.



Barack Obama is without any doubt, muslim. He is Islam's greatest ally. His covert hostility towards any other religion is obvious. He most certainly is not "Christian" and he detests Israel; no doubt because their relationship is with God. You see, Barack is an "allah" man. He holds no interest in working for "God". And anyone who believes "allah" is the same as "God" is a fool. And as Barack detests "Israel", he therefore has that same contempt for America. Barack is a son of "Indonesia"…. of "Kenya" … with no REAL allegiance to the United States; that is, except for whatever "allegiance" is barely required of his enablers to pacify his "oath" which he most certainly did not an does not take seriously.



Our people; the people of the United States have failed to realize they too .. we too .. are Israelites; thinking themselves to be Gentiles because we are certainly not all "Jews". This is a tragedy waiting to unfold. And it IS unfolding. Our failure as a nation to seek God and to do HIS will as gratitude for the unrivaled blessings HE has bestowed on our country is not without consequences. Big consequences. And Barack is just the guy who was needed to appear at this place and time to bring it all to bear.



Our national pride is being broken. The decline of Britain is almost complete and we are following quickly in her footsteps. Having lost our sense of national pride and honor in such as the military and economic might we once knew; the splendor of greatness that came as the result of the bounty that God bestowed upon our nation, is withering before our eyes. We are now hated and vilified by even the nations and countries we have helped so generously. Our motives are now impugned and even the tiniest of nations no longer respect us .. no longer fear to spit on our flag or even burn it. We are ridiculed by these that we once so strenuously aided.



Barack Obama is a tool. He is not almighty. He is a devious snake who is interested in one thing; that is, to do HIS will to and about America. And the left wing, who hated and despised George W. Bush, are turning a blind eye to his maneuvers; ignoring his outlandish lies and deceit, all because of their hearts filled with hate for the "GOP"… for the "Right" … for those who supported "GWB" and so on. Yes, Barack is a tool.



If you think HE'S 'bad', wait 'til you see what's coming down the pike.

It's funny, yes, but really quite disturbing that people actually believe this stuff. O_o

9. Israel is a spoiled, mean child created by the UN after WWI. The U.S...

is the over-protecting A-hole big brother who protects his A-Hole little brother.

[riobravo]

11. Did you mean...

to say WWII instead of WWI?
Just as Bibi meant to say
"One State Solution" instead of "Two State Solution"?

[vkkv]

15. Creation of the State of Israel began after WWI

Following the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in World War I, the British assumed control of Palestine. In November 1917, the British government issued the Balfour Declaration, announcing its intention to facilitate the "establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people. In 1922, the League of Nations granted Britain a mandate over Palestine which included, among other things, provisions calling for the establishment of a Jewish homeland, facilitating Jewish immigration and encouraging Jewish settlement on the land.

The Arabs were opposed to Jewish immigration to Palestine and stepped up their attacks against the Jews. Following an increase in Arab attacks, the British appointed a royal commission in 1936 to investigate the Palestine situation. The Peel Commission recommended the partition of the country between Arabs and Jews. The Arabs rejected the idea while the Jews accepted the principle of partition.

At the end of World War II, the British persisted in their immigration restrictions and Jewish survivors of the Holocaust were violently turned away from the shores of Palestine. The Jewish Agency and the Haganah continued to smuggle Jews into Palestine. Underground cells of Jews, most notably the Irgun and Lehi, engaged in open warfare against the British and their installations.

The British concluded that they could no longer manage Palestine and handed the issue over to the United Nations. On November 29, 1947, after much debate and discussion, the UN recommended the partition of Palestine into two states ­ one Jewish and one Arab. The Jews accepted the UN resolution while the Arabs rejected it.

Meanwhile, since the time of the British Mandate, the Jewish community in Palestine had been forming political, social and economic institutions that governed daily life in Palestine and served as a pre-state infrastructure. Zionist leader David Ben-Gurion (1886-1973) served as head of the pre-state government.

The British mandate over Palestine officially terminated at midnight, May 14, 1948. Earlier in the day, at 4:00 p.m., David Ben-Gurion proclaimed the creation of the State of Israel and became its first prime minister. Longtime advocate of Zionism in Britain Chaim Weizmann (1874-1952) became Israel's first president. On May 15, the United States recognized the State of Israel and the Soviet Union soon followed suit.

The fledgling State of Israel was faced with many challenges. While fighting a war of survival with the Arab states who immediately invaded the new nation, Israel had to also absorb the shiploads of immigrants coming in daily to the Jewish homeland. Many were penniless refugees from Europe broken in body and in spirit. They needed immediate health and social services in addition to acculturation to their new home.
