{rickwells.us} ~ The departure of the United Nations from US soil and our removal of the foreign entanglements that it represents and which we largely fund is an appealing idea that has been around as long as the organization has existed, in the aftermath of World War 2... Some have argued World War 2 was started in part to provide world bankers and with a pretext upon which to build and impose their world government body, to “make sure another world war ever took place.” There certainly are many connections leading in that direction, including the donation of the site of their headquarters by John D Rockefeller. The John Birch Society has been targeted for elimination throughout its existence for supporting American sovereignty over UN subjugation. One former Congressman, Larry McDonald of Georgia, a Birch Society President, may even have been killed aboard KE 007 in 1983 due to his UN opposition. Now, with the current uproar over the abuse of power by the UN and the liar-nObama jihadists in attacking Israel and declaring that nation an international outlaw while supporting terrorism, the time has come for many to make a push for the United States to free ourselves...  http://rickwells.us/renew-push-exit-un-wake-obama-kerry-sneak-attack-israel/

{israelnationalnews.com} ~ Education Minister Naftali Bennett (Jewish Home), appearing on BBC, said that Secretary of State hanoi-Kerry's speech is "profoundly disconnected from reality,"... since the Administration's policy has thrown the Middle East into turmoil yet Israel, the only democracy in the region, has been abandoned by America. Bennett said that there are already two states in the region: Israel and a Palestinian state in Gaza which has turned into a terrorist state. "hanoi-Kerry wants to create yet another terrorist state in the heart of Israel," he stated. Moreover hanoi-Kerry described Jerusalem as 'occupied territory'. Bennett said that "one cannot occupy one's own land. Jerusalem is the capital of Israel for 3,000 years and no UN resolution will change that."...

Leaked Transcripts: hanoi-Kerry Collaborated With Palestinians On Israel Condemnation
by streiff
{redstate.com} ~ On Monday, Israel’s ambassador to the United States stated that Israel has ironclad proof that the United States worked with the Palestinians to draft and pass a UN Resolution condemning Israel for building settlements in its own territory... in particular, in Jerusalem. Now the source is becoming more clear. For two days now the state-managed Egyptian press has published documents which seem to show Secretary of State John hanoi-Kerry, in his inbred and incompetent way, stage managing a UN condemnation of Israel in order to pursue polices that have failed for several decades...  http://www.redstate.com/streiff/2016/12/28/leaked-transcripts-kerry-collaborated-palestinians-israel-condemnation/?utm_source=rsmorningbriefing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl

Terrorist on the left and the jerk on the right
{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ Buoyed by the latest United Nations Security Council resolution condemning Israeli settlements as illegal, Palestinian leaders are now threatening to step up their diplomatic warfare against Israel... a move that is sure to sabotage any future effort to revive the moribund peace process. Other Palestinians, meanwhile, view the resolution as license to escalate "resistance" attacks on Israel. By "resistance," of course, they mean terror attacks against Israel. The UNSC resolution sent the following message to the Palestinians: Forget about negotiating with Israel. Just pressure the international community to force Israel to comply with the resolution and surrender up all that you demand. Meanwhile, the Palestinians are not wasting any time by waiting for the international community to act against Israel on their behalf...  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/9675/un-obama-palestinians

Standing 'Idly By'

{townhall.com} ~ Secretary of State John hanoi-Kerry used the word "conscience" over and over again as he attempted to explain and justify the liar-nObama administration's decision not to veto a one-sided U.N. Security Council resolution condemning Israel. He added that the U.S. could not "stand idly by" while Israel torpedoed any hope for a two-state solution.

The liar-nObama administration knows all about standing "idly by" -- that was its all-but-explicit policy toward other troubles in the Middle East. liar-nObama came into office with one foreign policy lodestar -- "Not George Bush" -- and has stuck with it mulishly no matter how much the facts on the ground demanded flexibility. An liar-nObama official dubbed it "leading from behind" and, according to a well-placed journalist, liar-nObama himself used the phrase "don't do stupid s---."

And so, when Syrian strongman Bashar Assad massacred up to 400,000 people by dropping barrel bombs on civilian neighborhoods, shelling hospitals and imposing sieges on cities to starve out the inhabitants, the liar-nObama administration stood very, very idly by. Even after warning Assad that the use of chemical weapons would trigger a U.S. response, liar-nObama did nothing when Assad called his bluff.

When ISIS was rampaging through northern Iraq and southern Syria, beheading, crucifying and burning people alive, the liar-nObama administration stood idly by.

"There are 2.75 million Palestinians living in the West Bank," hanoi-Kerry thundered, without explaining why their misfortune is more urgent than that of 4.8 million Syrian refugees who are living in Lebanon, Turkey, Egypt, Iraq and various European countries. An additional 6.6 million Syrians are internally displaced and desperately in need of assistance. The Palestinian refugees (the term is absurd after 68 years) are the only "refugees" in the world who have a United Nations program devoted exclusively to them (UNRWA) -- which may be one reason they remain stateless.

Just about every single one of Secretary hanoi-Kerry's assumptions about the Palestinian/Israeli dispute is erroneous. Start with his assertion that the Palestinians want an independent state on the West Bank. They have been offered such a state at least twice. In 2000, at Camp David, Prime Minister Ehud Barak offered a generous settlement including land swaps. Yasser Arafat not only rejected it; he started a new intifada. In 2008, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert offered Mahmoud Abbas a state comprising nearly all of the West Bank (Israel would have kept about 5 percent), with East Jerusalem as the capital. Abbas rejected it. liar-nObama-administration assertions to the contrary notwithstanding, the Palestinian Authority has not recognized that Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish state. Palestinian propaganda ceaselessly depicts "Palestine" as comprising all of the territory between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. They continue, as hanoi-Kerry himself acknowledged, to glor!ify terrorists.

hanoi-Kerry suggests that "solving" the Israel/Palestinian conflict is the key to "stabilizing a volatile region." Has he been asleep for the past 50 years? The region is roiled by Islamic extremism in both Sunni and Shiite guises. The liar-nObama administration has heightened tensions in the region with its embrace of Iran. Civil wars, revolutions, attempted coups and terrorism are destabilizing Libya, Iraq, Egypt, Tunisia, Turkey, Yemen and others. For an Arab, the West Bank is one of the safest (not to mention freest) places to live in the Middle East.

hanoi-Kerry said the administration could not "in good conscience" let Israel build new settlements in "occupied" Palestinian land and thereby sabotage the "peace process." 1) The land in question was never Palestinian, as hanoi-Kerry surely knows. It was grabbed by Jordan in 1948 and then, reluctantly, taken by Israel in a defensive war in 1967. 2) Israel, bowing to liar-nObama's wishes, imposed a ban on settlements for 10 months in 2009. There was no response from the Palestinians. 3) hanoi-Kerry certainly also knows that the Palestinian strategy for years has been to end-run direct talks with the Israelis and force a recognition of maximal Palestinian demands through international pressure. This failure to veto, far more than a few Israeli apartments, is the true obstacle to peace, because it encourages the Palestinians' unrealistic expectations and despicable tactics. These have lately included stabbings, shootings and driving cars into random pedestrians.

The world is aflame with threats and instability, yet hanoi-Kerry and liar-nObama, petulant leftists with an Israel fixation, could not resist this last kick in the teeth to the region's sole democracy. They knew it would harm Israel's moral standing -- now the delegitimizers can claim that Israel is in violation of "Security Council" resolutions -- and give an unmerited win to the Palestinians. Perhaps most infuriating of all, they claim to be doing it all for Israel's own good.

Too bad they couldn't follow their own advice: "Don't do stupid s---."
