'A clear message': Congress up in arms after Israel sanctions report
BY CHARLES HOSKINSON | DECEMBER 6, 2014 | 10:46 AM

An Israeli newspaper report that the Obama administration is considering sanctions against settlement construction in the West Bank and East Jerusalem is causing a stir in Congress.

Haaretz reported Thursday, citing senior Israeli officials, that there was a classified discussion at the White House a few weeks ago about the possibility of taking action to stop the construction, rather than just denouncing it. The daily said the discussion was a sign of how far relations have deteriorated between the Obama administration and the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

White House and State Department officials refused Friday to comment on the report, but lawmakers were quick to act.

Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., released a letter signed by him and 47 other lawmakers demanding Obama "clarify these reports immediately.

"Such reports send a clear message to our friends and enemies alike that such alliances with the United States government can no longer be unquestionably trusted," the letter said. "Further, at no point in time has Congress given the administration the authority to sanction Israel."

The letter also refers to legislation cleared by the House on Wednesday which declares Israel a "major strategic partner" of the United States.

The lawmakers also made reference to the fact that the administration has strongly resisted legislation to impose new sanctions on Iran, a point also made by Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., co-author of the Iran sanctions bill.

"This move only worsens perceptions that the administration treats our friends like enemies and our enemies like friends," Kirk said Friday.

We have to give that man a cookie! It only took six years but he finally gets it.
 
The first month Hussein was in office he sent back the bust of Churchhill which was a big middle finger to Britain. Shortly after that, he cancelled the missile program in Europe. He has been nothing but aggrressively rude and hostile to Israel. He overthrew the government of Egypt to install his buddies in the Muslim Brotherhood. He turned Libya into a terrorist wonderland by killing Kaddafi who had just begun to come into the American and more Western way of thinking, and who desperately wanted to be friendly with Obama's America. (Kaddafi called Obama "his son" and a "Son of Africa") Obama killed him in return for these words of kindness.
 
And only now we have people realizing that Obama's agenda and goals, are not the agenda and goals of America or the West?
 
Like I said, Give that man a cookie! Better late than never. At least Obama hasn't openly declared allegiance to Iran/Hamas/PLO/Hezbolla/Muslim Brotherhood.
 
Well, that is, not yet anyway.
