Netanyahu INCINERATES Obama for betraying Israel on U.N. vote

President Barack Obama decided this year to finally give the state of Israel the present he’s always wanted to – a big “eff you” that makes absolutely no pragmatic sense at all.

And Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is NOT backing down from expressing his anger at Obama’s actions. Watch below:

The Israelis published his statement – here it is in full:

[First portion in Hebrew]

“I share ministers’ feelings, anger and frustration vis-à-vis the unbalanced resolution that is very hostile to the State of Israel, and which the [UN] Security Council passed in an unworthy manner. From the information that we have, we have no doubt that the Obama administration initiated it, stood behind it, coordinated on the wording and demanded that it be passed. This is, of course, in complete contradiction of the traditional American policy that was committed to not trying to dictate terms for a permanent agreement, like any issue related to them in the Security Council, and, of course, the explicit commitment of President Obama himself, in 2011, to refrain from such steps.

We will do whatever is necessary so that Israel will not be damaged by this shameful resolution and I also tell the ministers here, we must act prudently, responsibly and calmly, in both actions and words. I ask ministers to act responsibly as per the directives that will be given today at the Security Cabinet meeting immediately following this meeting. I have also asked the Foreign Ministry to prepare an action plan regarding the UN and other international elements, which will be submitted to the Security Cabinet within one month. Until then, of course, we will consider our steps.”

[Second portion in English]

“Over decades, American administrations and Israeli governments had disagreed about settlements, but we agreed that the Security Council was not the place to resolve this issue. We knew that going there would make negotiations harder and drive peace further away.

And, as I told John Kerry on Thursday, friends don’t take friends to the Security Council. I’m encouraged by the statements of our friends in the United States, Republicans and Democrats alike. They understand how reckless and destructive this UN resolution was, they understand that the Western Wall isn’t occupied territory.

I look forward to working with those friends and with the new administration when it takes office next month. And I take this opportunity to wish Israel’s Christian citizens and our Christian friends around the world a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.”

Basically the argument comes down to this – the Palestinians say that there will be no peace so long as Israel continues building Jewish settlements in the disputed regions that Palestinians live in. But Israelis say that they have tried to make concessions to Palestinians and only received more terror attacks in return. According to to Israel, it’s their right to build whatever settlements they want in land that they won in defensive wars against Muslims nations attempting to wipe it off the face of the Earth.

What has changed is America’s defense of Israel in the United Nations lessening by abstaining from a vote that could have vetoed the resolution condemning the settlements.

Luckily, despite the alt-right antisemitic trolls that love him so much, Trump seems to be 100% supportive of Israel and critical of Obama’s back-stabbing. BUT – don’t get too high on Trump. He also loves Putin, who voted FOR the resolution, and could have vetoed it as well.

This did not escape Newt Gingrich:

Well, at least he’s not so slavish that he’d ignore this blinding hypocrisy.
