Do you have a link for that? That's rather stunning news.
Why is Obama punishing our allies, and Israel.
But when it comes to ISIS, he can't even say "muslim extremist." And him and Biden talk about the crusades and "Christian extremism," etc.
This is getting crazy, this is like a Jimmy Carter out of control, I actually don't think ANY liberal president has ever turned on US allies so forcefully. The President is just going to do whatever he wants to do and I guess nobody can say anything about it, not Congress, not Israel.
And now he personally *punishes* them? Like this is some kind of campaign political bad blood or something, you're just going to punish Israel like this? He's not even so hard on Republicans over here. What is up with this. This vindictiveness, and pettyness.
Folks -- it's not right -- our Constitution not only says that the Senate must approve treaties, but it's gotta be by a 2/3 margin at that!
Obama said he would ‘always have Israel’s back’
His apology tours to Muslim nations and his pro-Palestinian stance, especially his demand that Israel negotiate with Hamas terrorists, were foolish, but carried no lasting impact and could be seen as naive mistakes.
But no such forgiving explanation is possible for Obama’s six-year deferential courting of Iran’s mad mullahs and his correspondingly long animosity toward Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Despite the many tyrants, genocidal maniacs and dimwits who lead other nations, only Israel’s leader is singled out repeatedly for Obama’s wrath.
This is a peculiar form of prejudice, one Obama embraces with too much relish.
The result is not a simple matter of temporary daylight between two great allies over a principled conflict. This is a ruthless turning on a special friend, one whose existence is threatened daily by our shared enemy, Islamic terrorism.
...
If Obama really believes it’s a good deal, he should welcome a debate over its terms. Instead, he uses artifice and threats to silence disagreement.
...
Yet Obama is joined at the hip with a founding member of the Axis of Evil.
The moment marks the ultimate demonstration of how completely he has reversed American policy. Enemies are now partners, and friends are betrayed and abandoned.
Israel is not the only loser in this historic switch. Our closest Arab allies, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan, are also at odds with Obama over his tilt toward Iran.
...
Two weeks earlier, demonstrators at an officially approved rally in Tehran marched in front of an Obama effigy hanging from a gallows, Fox News reports.
It said the Iranians chanted, “Death to America” and “Death to Israel,” and burned and trampled an American flag.
In response, our president is prepared to allow them to have a nuclear weapon — and demonizes Israel and anyone else who refuses to agree.
