White House, State Department met in secret to strategize about imposing sanctions on Israel

[georgephillip]

Or the bizarre, barbaric practice of blowing up the homes of the families of Palestinians who kill Israelis.

Or even families of those suspected of killing Israelis as the events of last summer proved once again:
"Withholding evidence in its possession suggesting that the teens had been killed immediately until 1 July,[115][148][149] Israel launched Operation Brother's Keeper, a large-scale crackdown of what it called Hamas's terrorist infrastructure and personnel in the West Bank,[150] ostensibly aimed at securing the release of the kidnapped teenagers.

"10 Palestinians were killed in numerous raids and clashes,[151][152][153][154][155] and between 350 and 600 Palestinians,[134][151][156][157] including nearly all of Hamas's West Bank leaders,[158][159][160] were arrested.[161][162][163]

"Among those arrested were many people who had only recently been freed under the terms of the Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange.[164]

"Israeli military spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner defended the arrests, stating that Hamas members had carried out 60 abduction attempts on Israelis in the West Bank 'in the last year and a half', and that 'Hamas does not need to give a direct order.'[165]

"The arrests yielded no information about the abduction.[115]

"Amnesty International has stated that certain aspects of the operation amounted to collective punishment,[166] and B'tselem said in a press release that the actions have caused 'disproportionate harm to the basic rights of Palestinians'"

Israel's actions also served as a useful excuse to launch its latest version of "mowing the lawn" in Gaza last summer.

NOt seeing a problem here. Limiting building in the occuppied territories has been the position of the US for some time.

All bark and no bite. No matter what he says there is no reason to think this president will be able to change that.

I agree.
Obama is totally committed to the US Empire and Israel's role in it. Sanctions against Israel, however well-deserved, would never get started in the US Congress absent a massive public/internet groundswell.

If you, as a terrorist, know that your enemy (Israel) will identify you, and destroy your family's home, in reprisal for your act of terror, once you're gone, and no longer on-hand to help.

Now tell us what moral authority Israel has to steal the land and water of non-Jews living in Palestine? Jews have been bulldozing, blowing up, and destroying thousands of acres of Arab olive groves, homes, and businesses since 1948. When are you planning to comment on Jewish terror in Palestine that Arabs react to?

 

[NYcarbineer]

Apparently Obama doesn't like Jews building homes in Their neighborhood

Maybe Obama objects to Jews stealing Arab land to build their houses on?

Or the bizarre, barbaric practice of blowing up the homes of the families of Palestinians who kill Israelis.

Oh, it/s barbaric, alright... fighting barbarity with barbarity... fire with fire.

But it's not bizarre, it's downright classic.

If you, as a terrorist, know that your enemy (Israel) will identify you, and destroy your family's home, in reprisal for your act of terror, once you're gone, and no longer on-hand to help.

You are either going to write-off your family's home and well-being as a casualty to The Cause, or you are going to refrain from such an act, in order to keep a roof over your family's head.

It can go either way, but, from the Israeli perspective, it gives terrorist-wannabees food for thought, before they undertake martyrdom.

So should we adopt that policy? So after the Oklahoma City bombing, we should have blown up Tim McVeigh's mom's house?

No...if we did, and after this obama nation of the last six years, we would have to blow up the White House.

Yet American "Jews" vote mainly for democrats. Huh, the prophets were right and I certainly know who the wolves in sheeps clothing are.

Make no mistake. Most Jewish Americans are liberals and see them as that and identify as that, long before they see themselves as Jews.

Hence, the reason so many of them(Especially those in hollywood who yap about politics and are curiously always silent about Israel) do not care one bit about the plight of Israel.

Jews who work the the enemies of the Jewish people have a long history since the time of the exodus. That's just the way it is..... They will be judged for that, although I pray that turn away from those who work for our destruction

Then come right out and say it , Run on opposition to Jewish survival in their homeland . See if the American people agreement with you.

Jews are building homes in Jerusalem which is the Capitol of Israel. As long as the US builds in Washington DC obumble has nothing to say. This is all about kissing ayatollah ass and slipping obama tongue up the crack.

Apparently Obama doesn't like Jews building homes in Their neighborhood

Members of Congress are demanding that President Obama come clean about controversial reports that he is considering leveling sanctions on Israel, according to a letter sent Friday afternoon by lawmakers to the White House.

The Obama administration has found itself engulfed in controversy since reports emerged Thursday that the White House and State Department had met in secret to strategize about imposing sanctions on Israel for its continued building of houses in contested Jerusalem neighborhoods.

State Department and White House officials have continued to dodge questions from reporters on the matter, maintaining that they will neither confirm nor deny the reports.

The administration’s evasive position has prompted outrage among pro-Israel leaders and prompted Congress to demand that Obama start answering questions about the delicate issue.

“We urge you and your administration to clarify these reports immediately,” Rep. Mark Meadows (R., N.C.) and nearly 50 other House lawmakers wrote Friday afternoon, according to a copy of the letter

*sigh*

It's not the US, it's the EU. Those congressmen should know that.

However, as a Jew, if the State of Israel does something that deserves sanctions, I will support the sanctions.

The majority of Jews want peace, not war.

Run on opposition to Jewish survival in their homeland .

Straw man, as usual.
No rational person opposes "Jewish survival" in Palestine; what they do oppose is Jewish exceptionalism that leads some greedy Jews to believe they are entitled to all the land between the River and the sea. They are not, and a majority of young people around the world are waking to that Truth.

No one interested in winning re-election isn't going to 'Nay' vote any proposed sanctions. This is a gesture at best.

Jews will keep building and Obama and his leftist buddies can shuv it.....Peace to the Arabs is no Israel and dead Jews

Goal is end of Israel, but "you can't say that to the world" - Fatah official Abbas Zaki





"The agreement is based on the borders of June 4. While the agreement is on the borders of June 4, the President [Mahmoud Abbas] understands, we understand, and everyone knows that it is impossible to realize the inspiring idea, or the great goal in one stroke. If Israel withdraws from Jerusalem, if Israel uproots the settlements, 650,000 settlers, if Israel removes the (security) fence - what will be with Israel? Israel will come to an end. If I say that I want to remove it from existence, this will be great, great, [but] it is hard. This is not a [stated] policy. You can't say it to the world. You can say it to yourself."

Jews are building homes in Jerusalem in violation of UNSC orders, Luckily, the US annexed DC two hundred years before wars of aggression became illegal under international law.

 

[The Rabbi]

Is there anyone anywhere who believes that Obama and the Democrats are pro Israel? He is the most anti Israel president in history.
As for blowing up houses of terrorists, look what Arab countries do. They round up the families of terrorists and dismember them before killing the terrorist. Russians did the same thing.

 

[georgephillip]

No one interested in winning re-election isn't going to 'Nay' vote any proposed sanctions. This is a gesture at best.

Probably. However it could also serve as a trial balloon to gauge how younger voters in the US view the last 100 years of Zionist colonialism in Palestine.

Noam Chomsky Only One Thing Will Make Israel Change Course - In These Times

"For a century, the Zionist colonization of Palestine has proceeded primarily on the pragmatic principle of the quiet establishment of facts on the ground, which the world was to ultimately come to accept.

"It has been a highly successful policy.

"There is every reason to expect it to persist as long as the United States provides the necessary military, economic, diplomatic and ideological support."

One hundred years ago there were ten times as many Arabs as Jews living in Palestine. By 1948 there were twice as many Arabs as Jews living there. Today, there are equal numbers of Jews and Arabs living between the River and the sea.

Arabs are not going to willingly concede any more land and water, and much of the world is waking to the reality of Jewish policy in Palestine over the past century:

Slow motion genocide.

Jews are held to a higher standard?

 

[Steinlight]

It would be funny if he back stabbed his major donors by sanctioning Israel. The svitizing that would be on display in the mainstream media would be entertaining. But lets be real, he knows as soon as he is a marked man by Mossad. There is no way he will risk that to appeal to the gay "FREE PALESTINE STOP APARTHEID" section of the left.

So you're equating the Israelis with the people we call terrorists.
