Obama's Betrayal of Israel is An Act of Diplomatic War

President Barack Obama (File photo)
"The applause in the Security Council room Friday was directed at Samantha Power, the American ambassador who declined to veto an anti-Israeli resolution, an act of diplomatic warfare against the Jewish state.

The three-page text, now part of international law, can hurt all Israeli citizens and institutions. It will also likely harm any hope of renewal of peace talks between Israeli and Palestinians.

And America's loss of global leadership - don't even get me started...

Under the resolution, a young Israeli renting an apartment in Maale Edomim, a Jewish suburb of Jerusalem, may be tried at The Hague for 'flagrant violation of international law.'...

And, oh, the resolution mandates a UN report on its implementation every three months until eternity - assuring lasting harm.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-NC) said on Friday he would launch a drive to slash US funding for the United Nations as result of this resolution. At the same time, members of the Security Council, who have long awaited an American president who would join their gang-up on Israel, applauded Power.

'As to the UN, things will be different after Jan. 20th,' Trump tweeted from Mar-a-Lago.

They can't be much worse."
