UNREAL: Obama Makes Threats… Against Israel
This is one of, if not the most, anti-Israel administrations in history. Secretary of State John Kerry is not only pushing an EU boycott of Israeli companies, but is actively promoting an idea to use US troops to protect a new “Palestinian” state. Unbelievable. It’s no surprise that the Israelis have said, “Get out and stay out.”
In an explosive new interview with Jeffrey Goldberg, Obama literally told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that “you will ruin your country” if he doesn’t agree to the president’s new peace plan. Disgusting.
‘Bibi’, the President all but said, ‘if you don’t accept the peace plan that my Secretary of State hasn’t even released yet, you will ruin your country.’ The interview was released for publication almost the very moment as Netanyahu’s plane departed to meet with Obama in Washington.The article continues:
In addition to droning on about the growing dangers posed by increasing Israeli settlement ‘expansion’, the “rights” of Palestinian refugees, the historic “moderation” of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, and the reasonableness of the Iranian regime, President Obama used the interview with Goldberg to issue ominous new threats and dire warnings against the Jewish state if it did not agree to accept his plan to shrink Israel back inside the 1949 armistice lines.
Obama tells Goldberg that it isn’t really the Palestinians who need to change. It is Israel. Palestinian terrorism against Israeli civilians is essentially the result of steps Israel takes to prevent such terrorism. The best way to change the Palestinian Authority’s incitement to – and celebration of blood curdling violence against Jews – is for Israel to change its housing policy.
Nothing new here. This has been the President Obama’s basic position since long before he ever ran for public office; and a position shared by most of the international community.Wow. We’ve known for a while that Obama was more sympathetic to the Palestinian terrorists than our greatest friend and ally in the Middle East, but this is as public as he’s gone with his threats towards Israel. The Israelis are trying to live in peace but are constantly under rocket attacks from their Palestinian neighbors.
What is new about Obama’s latest interview are his threats. If Israel doesn’t do what Obama decides Israel should do, then Israel should no longer expect the U.S. to support it: “If you see no peace deal and continued aggressive settlement construction – and we have seen more aggressive settlement construction over the past couple of years – if Palestinians come to believe that the possibility of a contiguously sovereign Palestinian state is no longer within reach, then our ability to manage the fallout is going to be limited.”
If Israel accepts that Obama knows best, that his proposed solutions to Israel’s problems are superior to its own, then Israel will faced increased isolation and threats. On supporting Israel, Obama says: “It is getting harder every day”. He explains that Israel faces ‘increasing international isolation’ because there is a “genuine sense on the part of a lot of countries that this issue continues to fester and that nobody is willing to take the leap to bring it to closure.”
To paint Israel as the aggressor here is just plain wrong. They’ve been willing to give up what’s necessary over the years to try to make peace, but the Palestinians, bent on Israel’s ultimate destruction, will have none of it. For Obama to side with these terrorists against Israel is an outrage.
