Obama, who is the worst American president in modern history, struck a blow to America's only ally in the Middle East -- Israel. Obama, whose foreign policy failures are only second to his domestic failures, specifically used the anti-Semitic UN to slam Israel.
Any country who considers themselves to be an ally of the US should be extremely alarmed at this turn of events. Obama has shown that he will turn his back on America's allies at the drop of a dime, and that calls into question how much our allies should do for us, knowing how fickle the American foreign policy under Obama has become. As for Israel, it can no longer be denied that Obama is shifting from friend to foe. We can only hope that the 2012 election brings some relief to our allies, as hopefully, the Obama regime will be voted out of office and America will have a chance to regain it's former reputation as a true ally. Of course,on the other hand, Libyan leader, arch-terrorist Qadaffi said that he only hopes that Obama will stay in office forever. Goes to show that our enemies are delighted that America is now greatly weakened under Obama. From news article: Obama Uses U.N. to Broadside Israel In declaring that it is time for Middle East peace "without preconditions," President Obama used his speech to the U.N. General Assembly Wednesday to fire a warning at Israel that "America does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements." Obama's stark declaration, which drew applause, was coupled with a call for Palestinians to end their "incitement of Israel." But it was the use of the U.N. forum to carry the settlement message to Israel that drew the most enthusiastic response on the floor -- and incredulous reaction outside its walls. Obama just put Israel "on the chopping block," said former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009...t-america-fix/ |

Obama's rantings at the UN are as worthwhile and meaningful as any other so called world leader's rantings. Khaddafy today claims Zionists murdered JFK, or Lincoln, I forget which. President Member's Only from Iran asserting again the holocaust was a myth (so why does he love Hitler then??) Obama's threats are about as useful as that. He knows that Bibi's government can't accept that and if they tried they'd collapse and be replaced with an even more implacable government.
The J-Street crowd seem both delusional that they can force Israel to do whatever they like, and, they seem dangerous that they don't seem to care if they trigger a regional war. |

I watched the speech live. What puzzles me is the fact that the media seems to have completely ignored what I think was the most significant part of his speech.
The most significant sentence in the entire speech, from an Israeli perspective, was this: "the United States does Israel no favors when we fail to couple an unwavering commitment to its security with an insistence that Israel respect the legitimate claims and rights of the Palestinians" It's a very thinly veiled threat and represents a departure from Obama's previous position which was that Israel's security was "sacrosanct" - completely unconditional. |

"Israel respect the legitimate claims and rights of the Palestinians"
Spoken like a true pro-Palestinian propagandist, which Obama certainly is. Palestinians need to be "respected" like all Arabs, Israelis are the ones violating their "rights", etc, etc. These are Obama's views and they were very clear way before he was elected. This is the only the beginning though, he will become more brazen the longer he's in power. By the end of his term he will have made Jimmy Carter look like Israel's best friend compared to him. |

He even raised the Kashmir issue. First i was very angry but after hearing the entire speech i have great respect for him. He is the King of the Kings...
![]() http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worl...h-product.html 31st March 2009 From news article: The Libyan leader was at an Arab gathering in Qatar yesterday when he seized the microphone to furiously denounce the Saudi king as a 'liar'. When his Qatari hosts tried to quieten him down, Gaddafi - the current chairman of the African Union - insisted he would not be silenced. I am an international leader, the dean of the Arab rulers, the king of kings of Africa and the imam (leader) of Muslims, and my international status does not allow me to descend to a lower level,' he said. He then got up and walked out of the hall. |
