With the obvious upset Obama feels at Netanyahu’s re-election, despite Obama’s subversive efforts to the contrary, the President may chose to not veto future anti-Israel resolutions by the United Nations Security Council, as suggested this week by White House spokesman Josh Earnest.
One might as well take he word ‘may’ out of the equation…
“What he’s pointing to is a [diplomatic] campaign underway… where the Palestinians have been going to the United Nations to declare a state unilaterally,” said Jonathan Schanzer, vice president for research.
So far, “the United States has shot it down,” Schanzer said.
The United States has chosen to block U.N. involvement in the Arab vs. Israel fight because it prefers the Israeli government and local Arab leaders negotiate a peace deal that creates two independent states, Earnest said at the midday press conference.
But, he said, “what has now changed… [is that Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu] has indicated that they’re not committed to that approach any more.”
“If that’s the case, it means we need to rethink what our approach is going to be,” Earnest said.
If Obama refuses to use the U.S. veto, the security council could declare the Arab territories alongside Israel to be an independent state, complete with an army.
But “the Palestinians are not prepared [and soon] would be at war with Israel,” Schanzer predicted. A new Arab state “would be a recipe for conflict, for just a whole chain of events,” he said, partly because the Palestinian Arabs are already divided into two rival armed groups.
“I don’t know what [Obama] is doing… it is incredibly difficult for me to understand what the strategy is,” Schanzer said. “Part of it is personal [but it also] appears to be an attempt to punish the Israeli public for putting Netanyahu back into power again,” said Schanzer.
But Obama’s pressure on Netanyahu also serves to weaken Netanyahu’s strong public objections to Obama’s pending strategic deal with Iran. That deal would leave Iran’s Israel-hating Islamic theocracy with the funding, ability and legal right to build a large force of nuclear weapons by as early as 2025.
A statement like this from a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Creating another independant Arab state would certainly create another conflict. Not necessarily between Israel and the new Arab state, although likely. I believe that it will bring on hostilities with other Arab states, who when not fighting Israel love to fight each other.
Maybe not but France is pushing it and all Obama had to do is pull our veto
no way Obama need’s to leave the UN out of this and mind his own business and take care of the border here
It would be a demilitarized state
I am so sick and tired of this $#%&!@*wipe and his f*^king at$#%&!@*ude. Someone with the power to do so please stop this $#%&!@*.
We need a Congress with a backbone get him out of there, the Military should arrest him.
what, you dont make snese
You do understand that Obama has a permanent veto that stops any adverse action. France is pushing a state and if he pulls out veto then it would get done. Maybe Bibi should have thought about that before trying to embarr$#%&!@* the prez.
Are we hearing this right??? HE will ALLOW the UN to divide the Holy Land? He is in for a surprise. There really IS a GOD and his name isn’t Obama or the god he pretends to worship.
U don’t have the power to do that, butt $#%&!@*er.
