Obama Administration Steps Up War On Israel

On Friday, Susan Rice, the Obama Administration's Ambassador to the United Nations, vetoed a Palestinian inspired draft resolution which designated as illegal all territories occupied by Israel after the Six Day War. That includes the Old City of Jerusalem -- The Western Wall, The Temple Mount, The Church of the Holy Sepulcher, etc.

 

While Rice's veto was welcome she used her remarks to the Security Council to emphatically state that the Obama Administration agrees with the resolution's policy. Rice told the Security Council: 

 

Our opposition to the resolution before this Council today should therefore not be misunderstood to mean we support settlement activity. On the contrary, we reject in the strongest terms the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity. For more than four decades, Israeli settlement activity in territories occupied in 1967 has undermined Israel's security and corroded hopes for peace and stability in the region. Continued settlement activity violates Israel's international commitments, devastates trust between the parties, and threatens the prospects for peace.

 

Her definition of "settlement activity" and "territories occupied in 1967" includes Jerusalem, the Old City.

Secretary of State Clinton reiterated this policy on Friday.

Jerusalem and Israel are under attack by the Obama Administration.

We must alert our friends and family now. Post to Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Note:

So, while the veto is accepted, gratefully, it came at a high price -  and the betrayal of Israel, by the remarks of Rice and Clinton, speaking for Obama's administration are comments that bring not honor, but shame to America.  We have watched in complete dismay this on-going slip from standing with Israel, to supporting those who do not recognize Israel's right to exist; and now, adding more fuel to the fire, we bring the holy City of David, Jerusalem into the debate.  

The Capital of Israel is Jerusalem; not East Jerusalem, West Jerusalem, two blocks down Jerusalem,  but all of Jerusalem.  What part of Washington, DC is not the Capital?

Mr. Obama and group - you have just buried any chances for "peace" in the Middle East.  Go look at Egypt's last few days as a warning of things to come. (article posted just before this one!)
