ALERT: Sources: Obama Administration to Support Anti-Israel Resolution at UN Next Week

THE WEEKLY STANDARD has learned that senior Obama administration officials have been telling foreign governments that the administration intends to support an effort next week at the United Nations to set up an independent commission, under UN auspices, to investigate Israel's behavior in the Gaza flotilla incident. The White House has apparently shrugged off concerns from elsewhere in the U.S. government that a) this is an extraordinary singling out of Israel, since all kinds of much worse incidents happen around the world without spurring UN investigations; b) that the investigation will be one-sided, focusing entirely on Israeli behavior and not on Turkey or on Hamas; and c) that this sets a terrible precedent for outside investigations of incidents involving U.S. troops or intelligence operatives as we conduct our own war on terror.

While UN Ambassador Susan Rice is reported to have played an important role in pushing for U.S. support of a UN investigation, the decision is, one official stressed, of course the president's. The government of Israel has been consulting with the U.S. government on its own Israeli investigative panel, to be led by a retired supreme court justice, that would include respected international participants, including one from the U.S. But the Obama administration is reportedly saying that such a “kosher panel” is not good enough to satisfy the international community, or the Obama White House.


My note:

This annoucement is the final blow to Israel, as an ally of the United States.  I say "final" because it is now evident that the White House Obama administration no longer stands with Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East.  Obama prefers to appease the Arab countries - and for those who use to say it was all about the "oil" as to the reason Bush went into Iraq ... well, how about this .... IT'S ALL ABOUT THE OIL now, since that is the only thing the Arab nations supply to the world, other than their ISLAMIC terrorists that our troops are still fighting half way around the world.


Ignore the contributions that Israel has provided to the world; its technology, its medical science; its agricultural science; the fact that this Land of Israel and the Jewish nation  are "ONE" - and is the place where the Torah was first given to the Jews (at Mt. Sinai); ignore that the Land of Israel is called the "Holy Land" for the Jews, first and also, to the Christians.  Obama stands with a predominately Arab United Nations.  He does not request an investigation into the terrorists on the ships from Turkey to break through the blockade, nor does he question Turkey's actions.  No, folks, just an investigation into Israel's actions of self-defense.


This has been a very sad day in the history of America.
