Netanyahu tells Kerry he is not being a friend to Israel

WaEx: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he indicated to Secretary of State John Kerry that he is not acting as a friend to Israel.

“As I told [Secretary of State] John Kerry on Thursday, friends don’t take friends to the Security Council,” Netanyahu said Sunday at the start of his weekly Cabinet meeting.

In a 14-0 vote on Friday, the U.N. Security Council condemned Israel for settlements in areas of the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The Obama administration abstained on the measure, marking an historic shift in U.S. policy just weeks before Obama completes his second term in the White House.

Netanyahu called the move a “complete contradiction of the traditional American policy,” as the U.S. had vetoed a similar resolution in 2011, and he singled out President Obama himself for walking back on his “explicit commitment” to “refrain from such steps.”  MORE

  1. If I may be so bold…

    You don’t F*€K with God’s chosen people.

    But you know what? I’m glad that Obama and his ilk did. Stay tuned folks. The Earth is gonna open up on these evil bastards in the most magnificent way. BELIEVE ME. 😎

  2. Right now it would be difficult to say who we are friends with. We have given our traditional allies the finger (see multiple pictures of the child obama), and we are trying to appease long time enemies, who then openly mock us. The last 8 years have been an embarrassing failure of leadership!
