Obama Eyes Sanctions On Israel

by JASmius



Just in case you had any doubts whatsoever about on which side in the Middle East Barack Obama resides, and has always resided:

Senior White House and State Department officials have recently met to discuss the possibility of imposing sanctions on Israel in an effort to stop housing construction projects in eastern Jerusalem, Haaretz reported.

The report – which comes as the Obama administration is lobbying furiously against new sanctions on Iran over its illicit nuclear program – is likely to trigger new, bipartisan concern on Capitol Hill over the direction of U.S. Mideast policy. [emphasis added]

And there it is.  The Obamunists "empathize" with the mullahs who want and have repeatedly declared for decades their intention to kill us all, but for some strange, unfathomable reason, can't find it within themselves to "empathize" with the only genuine U.S. ally in the Middle East, as well as its only democracy, who has this silly, wild-eyed notion that they can and should control their own sovereign territory, including building buildings on it.  Seems like it's a respective question of "will," doesn't it?

So what finally brought about what everybody has known was coming for six years?:

The Israel sanctions discussions are said to have begun after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the White House in October and clashed with the administration over the construction of a new housing development in that part of the city.

The administration warned Israel that the project would raise questions about Israel’s commitment to peace with the Palestinians. Netanyahu replied that Israel does not accept restrictions on where Jews can live, and that Arabs and Jews in the Israeli capital should be allowed to purchase homes wherever they choose.

Bibi didn't bow down to the Earth King, in short.  Obviously that "uppity" Jew doesn't know his place in the New WOrld O-rder - either a Muslim-administered concentration camp or a mass grave, details to be determined.

Here's a whimsical question: Why don't the "Palestinians" ever have to demonstrate their "commitment" to "peace with Israel"?  Particularly when Israel wants nothing other than to be left alone to live in peace, and it's the Pals who are endlessly attacking them?  Evidently, that question never comes up in "internal White House deliberations".

The consolation: Israel is a rich country that is getting richer all the time.  Which means Obamunist sanctions will have as little of an impact upon the Jewish State as they've had on Vladimir Putin and the mullahs.  The real question is when President Red Lines will take the next step and start "eyeing' military action against the Israelis to bring them to heel.

Clearly - or implicitly - that concern is underlying congressional reaction:

The possibility of  sanctions has “prompted consternation on Capitol Hill and throughout the pro-Israel world,” the Washington Free Beacon reported.  

“If these reports are true, this would mark a new era of unprecedented hostility from the White House against our strongest ally in the Middle East,” a senior congressional aide stated. “It’s impossible not to notice the irony of the administration mulling sanctions on Israel while threatening to veto new sanctions against Iran.”

“The president should be forewarned that taking such action against Israel would yield tremendous pushback from Congress,” the aide added.

I hope so.  On the other hand, we've seen the kind of "pushback" of which Congress is capable, so I wouldn't get too revved up about that prospect.  After all, if Republicans won't act for their own political self-preservation, what makes anybody think that they'll do so for a little country half-way around the world?

And yet, they really, really should.  The Abrahamic Covenant, once again:

“Go forth from your country, and from your relatives and from your father’s house, to the land which I will show you; and I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing; and I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curseAnd in you all the families of Earth will be blessed.” [emphasis added]

God, as they say, will not be mocked.  And as much as He has blessed and preserved America for over two centuries, we will not be an exception to the promise He gave to Abraham and his descendants.

We have SO got to get rid of Barack Hussein Obama (politically) before he takes us all down with him.  If only there was a way to do so.

Maybe emigrating to Israel is the answer.  It's not as if Obamerikastan is that much safer anymore.
