The U.S. has informed Arab governments that it will support a U.N. Security Council statement reaffirming that the 15-nation body “does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity,” a move aimed at avoiding the prospect of having to veto a stronger Palestinian resolution calling the settlements illegal. [...]For the millionth time, we also spot moral equivalence in motion in several ways. Politico reports that Rep. Anthony Weiner, has announced that pro-Israel Democrats aren't going along with this. Let's hope not. He says:
Susan E. Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, outlined the new U.S. offer in a closed door meeting on Tuesday with the Arab Group, a bloc of Arab countries from North Africa and the Middle East. In exchange for scuttling the Palestinian resolution, the United States would support the council statement, consider supporting a U.N. Security Council visit to the Middle East, the first since 1979, and commit to supporting strong language criticizing Israel’s settlement policies in a future statement by the Middle East Quartet.
The U.S.-backed draft statement — which was first reported by Al Hurra — was obtained by Turtle Bay. In it, the Security Council “expresses its strong opposition to any unilateral actions by any party, which cannot prejudge the outcome of negotiations and will not be recognized by the international community, and reaffirms, that it does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity, which is a serious obstacle to the peace process.” The statement also condemns “all forms of violence, including rocket fire from Gaza, and stresses the need for calm and security for both peoples.”
This is too clever by half. Instead of doing the correct and principled thing and vetoing an inappropriate and wrong resolution, they now have opened the door to more and more anti-Israeli efforts coming to the floor of the U.N. The correct venue for discussions about settlements and the other aspects of a peace plan is at the negotiating table. Period.Ahem. There's NO negotiating with Islamists or anyone else over things like these. Period.
RELIAPUNDIT ADDS:
- JEWS AND ZIONISTS WHO SUPPORTED OBAMA ARE DUPES OR TRAITORS - JUDENRATE.
- IF OBAMA REALLY REALLY WAS A CRYPTO-MUSLIM, WOULD HE BE DOING ANYHTING DIFFERENTLY? NOPE.
- HE'S ACTUALLY WORSE FOR ISRAEL THAN JIMMY CARTER.
- JEWS AND ZIONISTS WHO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT OBAMA ARE TRAITORS - JUDENRATE.
US seeks to avoid UN vote on Israeli settlementsTHANK G-D THAT THESE OBAMANUTS ARE INCOMPETENT ANTI-ZIONISTS!
Stuck in a diplomatic bind, the Obama administration scrambled Thursday to avert a difficult U.N. Security Council vote on a Palestinian-backed resolution condemning Israeli settlements. President Barack Obama raised the subject in a call with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas after other attempts to sway him failed.
Though Israel's closest ally, the United States has nonetheless opposed new settlements, saying they are an impediment to peace between Israel and the Palestinians. But the U.S. also does not want the Security Council taking up the issue, arguing it would complicate peace negotiations.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said that the Security Council vote planned Friday would be counterproductive as the United States focuses on advancing talks that will lead to a two-state solution.
"We have consistently over many years said that the United Nations Security Council and resolutions that would come before the Security Council are not the right vehicle to advance that goal," she said at a news conference after a briefing with senators.

The vote places the Obama administration in a predicament. A U.S. veto would place Obama at odds with the Palestinians and its supporters in the Arab world; abstaining from the vote would anger Israelis. The issue also places Obama in a political fix at home where he already faced criticism for trying to avoid a veto from Democratic and Republican supporters of Israel in Congress.
On Wednesday, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., Susan Rice, proposed a weaker Security Council presidential statement instead of a legally binding resolution, a step that represented a shift from the long-held U.S. view that the Security Council is not the proper forum to address the issue of Israeli settlements. Palestinians rejected the offer.

YUP: IT WAS JIMMY THE DHIMMI CARTER WHO LAST DID THIS IN 1979/80.
I have said in the past I feel this clown is the most Anti-Israel leaning President in my lifetime. One only had to read his book as it was there in his own words! ( Quote from Obama’s book: Audacity of Hope: ‘I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction..’). My question is and has been, being of Jewish descent myself, I can't help but wonder how the Jewish population here in the U.S. keeps voting for Anti-Semetic liars, yet every polling day, they somehow blindly rush to do so. in turn, we now have an administration that appears more than happy to watch Israel be eradicated. "As Ye sow, so shall Ye reap". We are now witnessing the harvest of a seed that was planted centuries ago, nurtured over years and years, blooming every now and then (Nazi Germany for example) and now is in fact at full bloom.
I'm not sure what the answer is, but it sure as hell isn't the Anti-Semite in the White House anymore that it is the self hating Jews who helped elect him. Israel and in turn Western Civilization as we know it is in grave danger. The Muslims are candid about this while we here in Obama land are being told to accept it by our sad sack leaders! Yet, this could have been stopped if the electorate had just taken their responsibilities as voters seriously! When the President and his minions speak of Israel and the Mid-East, I sense pure open hatred for Israel. I point out that's how I feel. I only know when I watch this clown speak and look at his eyes, I see hate. And that is a bad thing to see in anyone's leader.
One should not be surprised at the actions of a person who has actually been open about his ideology in the past. That is they shouldn't be if they weren't so open to accepting the lies and deceit that come from almost every politician. Almost every action this President has taken seems predicated on one thing, acceptance of the radical Muslim agenda as part of our society. As that, if it came to fruition would mean the end of Israel and our own way of life, one must conclude Israel is in grave danger.

WHICH FAMOUS ANTISEMITE IS MOST RESPONSIBLE FOR THE "INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY'S" FAILURE TO ACCEPT JERUSLEM AS THE UNDIVIDED CAPITOL OF ISRAEL?
JIMMY CARTER - IN 1980.
* YUP. SURPRISE SURPRISE SURPRISE.
* DHIMMI CARTER HAD THE USA ABSTAIN WHEN AN ANTISEMITIC UNSCR CALLING ISRAEL'S ANNEXATION OF EAST JERUSALEM ILLEGAL CAME UP FOR A VOTE IN AUGUST OF 1980. SO IT PASSED.
* NOW, DHIMMI'S BASTARD CHILD OBAMA HAS CONDEMNED ISRAEL'S ANNOUNCEMENT THAT IT WILL BUILD ANOTHER 1300 APARTMENTS IN THE EASTERN PART OF JERUSALEM - AS IF JERUSALEM WAS A SETTLEMENT!
* OBAMA ATTACKED ISRAEL - OUR BEST ALLY - AND TOOK THE MUSLIM Bulleted ListPOSITION WHILE IN A MUSLIM NATION.
* BIBI FORCEFULLY COUNTERATTACKED.
* ISRAEL HAS NEVER EVER PROMISED TO SUSPEND BUILDING WITHIN JERUSALEM.
* THAT FATAH AND OBAMA ARE NOW MAKING IT AN ISSUE IS PROOF THAT OBAMA IS ANTI-ISRAEL.
* OBAMA IS NOT FOR PEACE: HE'S ON THE OTHER SIDE.
* OBAMA IS MAKING THE POSSIBILITY OF A DEAL LESS LIKELY BECAUSE HE IS GIVING ABBAS AND FATAH COVER FOR THEIR INTRANSIGENCE.
* REMINDER: ARAFAT TALKED TO ISRAEL'S PM'S WHILE CONSTRUCTION WENT ON IN JERUSALEM AND THE SO-CALLED WEST BANK.
* YUP: OBAMA AND FATAH ARE NOW TAKING A HARDER LINE AGAINST ISRAEL THAN THE FILTHY MURDERER, PEDERAST AND THIEF - ARAFAT.
JIMMY CARTER: HE'S NOT FOR PEACE; HE'S ON THE OTHER SIDE
Jimmy Carter is a traitor to the USA and an anti-Semite:
(AP) — Former President Jimmy Carter said Tuesday that Palestinians are "living in a cage" in Gaza and that the militant group Hamas must be included in all major efforts for peace.
And Israel - surrounded by 350 million Arabs - is not in a cage!?
And Hamas should be included in talks despite the fact that they aren't interested an any settlement that results in the continued existence of Israel!?
People who regard Gaza as suffering at the hands of Israel, but not at the hands of the islamo-fascist/jihadist Hamas are dupes, dopes or the enemies of liberty and the West.
The blockade is NOT causing a humanitarian crisis; there is no starvation in Gaza and no shortages of anything the PEOPLE need - only of some of the things terrorists can use to attack Israel.
Israel should no more be forced to talk to Hamas than the Chinese forced to talk to the Uighurs or the Turks forced to talk to the PKK or the Russians forced to talk with the Chechen terrorists who attacked the parliament there, or the Spanish forced to talk to ETA.
ANYONE who argues Israelis must negotiate with Hamas - but is not arguing to force any of these other nations to talk to the terrorists who attack them is therefore an antisemite and aiding and abetting the islamo-fascist enemy.
This is the same enemy who attacked us on 9/11 - and who we fight in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Yemen, the Philippines.
This is the same enemy who is threatening Europe with Mumbai-style attacks this very day.
Jimmy Carter sides with them.
He is a disgusting traitor.
