Obama Administration planning sanctions against Israel over settlement activity

[Vigilante]

 

[Two Thumbs]

Just in, the Obama Administration furthered a growing divide between Israel and the United States by planning to sanction Israel over it's settlements in the eastern Jerusalem. Yes yes, let's just go about sanctioning our allies, but finagling with our enemies. One way to alienate an ally is to dictate to them how to exercise their own sovereignty.

The Obama administration is refusing to discuss reports that emerged early Thursday claiming that the White House is considering imposing sanctions on Israel for continuing construction on Jewish homes in Jerusalem.

State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf dodged several questions on Thursday when confronted with reports that the administration had held secret internal meetings to discuss taking action against Israel for its ongoing building in East Jerusalem.

The classified meetings were reportedly held several weeks ago and included officials from both the State Department and White House, according to the Israeli daily Ha’aretz, which first reported on the meetings.

The possibility of sanctioning Israel for its ongoing construction sends a signal that the Obama administration is willing to go further in its denunciations of Israel then any previous White House.

At the same time, the White House is vigorously pushing Congress against passing new sanctions on Iran.

I'm quite sure that, if France illegally occupied and settled in Spain, there would be sanctions applied to France...

It's not about race or religion, as you try to make out...

NOPE not if the occupation was along the lines of the Geneva conventions, but then it would not be illegal would it. But I don't see any hue and cry over the Palestinians illegal occupation and settlements in the west bank ?

Got some links for that Phoney?

YEP try here.

Geneva Conventions British Red Cross

NOPE.... Not sure how that backs up your comment Phoney....

And start sending those to Iran, instead?

What would sanctions look like? We give them a few hundred million less dollars?

For starters it would hit the USA harder than it would hit Israel, as all Israel would do is trade with other nations that want their goods. Imagine not being able to buy a new computer because the Israeli factory cant ship them out any more, or being refused life saving surgery because the medical tools needed are still in Israel.

Excellent question. Well, you have to remember here that we're talking about the President weighing sanctions . . . Congress wouldn't think of sanctioning Israel for AIPAC has them all sewn up. In view of this, how about something like no kosher food served to Neanderthalyahoo on his next two visits to the White House, or is this a bit too harsh? ~ Susan

That is simple to counter, just don't bother going and tell him that all deals are off. That would cause major problems when 90% of defence industry staff are laid off because the don't have any work, and Israel goes to the USA's competition for defence weapons.

The Israelis will just thumb their noses at America,as they always do........the only thing the Israelis want from Americans is their Money

Would you rather us give it to Palestine then?

Don't you already give them much more than you give Israel without any strings attached.

I wouldn't know.

Well you should know, and then you would be able to see where things have gone wrong. Just look at the indirect payments from the US to the Palestinian terrorists through the UN

I know it happens, I just don't know how much.

Very easy to find out

How Much Does the U.N. Cost Us National Review Online

And then find out the UN budget to UNWRA

What is UNRWA s budget
