Mr. President, You Cannot Bully Israel at the U.N.

http://aclj.org/israel/israels-netanyahu-sends-a-powerful-message-to-congress-but-where-is-the-obama-administration
Today Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a powerful message to Congress.

It was a much needed warning about the dangers of a nuclear Iran.

Prime Minister Netanyahu understands first-hand the dangers posed by a nuclear Iran – the very lives of the Jewish people and the future of the nation of Israel itself hang in the balance.

It is disturbing that President Obama met with Muslim leaders with ties to the radical terrorist group the Muslim Brotherhood, but refuses to meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu.

The Administration should be embarrassed by the way it has snubbed the leader of Israel – our most trusted and important ally in the Middle East.

It is both troubling and disappointing that the Obama Administration chose to ignore this vital opportunity to stand with our ally in speaking out against terrorism and to assure the American people that securing a deal with Iran will not create a nuclear Iran.

It is clear that the American people stand with Israel. It’s about time our President makes clear that he does too.

The bullying tactics must end. Israel is our friend – our ally in the fight against terrorism.

As we work through our offices in Jerusalem, at the United Nations, and on Capitol Hill to defend Israel’s right to defend itself, we want to send a message to the White House and Congress. America stands with Israel.

MUSLIM WAR ON ISRAEL: Obama Says He Will No Longer Protect Jewish State

OBAMA TRUELY IS THE ENEMY WITHIN !! HE HAS TURNED HIS BACK ON BELOVED ISRAEL AND INSTEAD IS ARMING IRAN WITH NUCLEAR MISSILES TO DESTROY US
Obama rewards U.S. enemy Iran with nukes while punishing U.S. ally Israel every way he can. What does that tell you?
Excerpted from Politico: In the wake of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decisive reelection, the Obama administration is revisiting longtime assumptions about America’s role as a shield for Israel against international pressure.
Angered by Netanyahu’s hard-line platform toward the Palestinians, top Obama officials would not rule out the possibility of a change in American posture at the United Nations, where the U.S. has historically fended off resolutions hostile to Israel.
And despite signals from Israel suggesting that Netanyahu might walk back his rejection, late in the campaign, of a Palestinian state under his watch, Obama officials say they are taking him at his word.
“The positions taken by the prime minister in the last days of the campaign have raised very significant substantive questions that go far beyond just optics,” said a senior administration official, adding that recent Israeli government actions were in keeping with Netanyahu’s rhetoric.
While saying it was “premature” to discuss Washington’s policy response, the official wouldn’t rule out a modified American posture at the United Nations, where the U.S. has long fended off resolutions criticizing Israeli settlement activity and demanding its withdrawal from Palestinian territories.
“We are signaling that if the Israeli government’s position is no longer to pursue a Palestinian state, we’re going to have to broaden the spectrum of options we pursue going forward,” the official said.
There is no virtually no chance that the U.S. will trim its financial or military support for Israel. But some analysts believe that going forward, Netanyahu may be vulnerable in international forums where the U.S. has long been a bulwark against criticism of Israel and its presence in Palestinian territories.
“I do think the administration is going to look very closely at the possibility of either joining, or at least not blocking an internationally backed move at the U.N. to restate the parameters for ending the conflict,” said Jeremy Ben-Ami, president of the left-leaning pro-Israel group J Street.
The U.S. has run critical interference for Israel on such measures in the past. Last November, the U.N. Security Council considered a draft resolution, pushed by the Palestinians and Arab countries, demanding an Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank within three years. The U.S. quietly quashed the effort.


In February 2011, Obama exercised his first Security Council veto to strike down a resolution condemning Israeli settlement activity in Palestinian territory. Every other one of the Security Council’s 15 members supported the resolution.
