Thursday briefs

I’m shocked, shocked, that the UN is condeming Israel again: I know my readers are going to have a hard time believing this, but the UNHRC report on the Gaza flotilla incident condemned Israel for “incredible violence.” Also for being “brutal.” Please. Take a deep breath. I know how unfamiliar you all are with UN condemnation of Israel. And the worst thing of all? The report condemned the IDF for verbally abusing the “activists.” Oh. My. God. The soldiers said mean things to them! I breathlessly await a new UN resolution condemning this brutal action.

Looks like Obama wants Jewish Democratic donations again: Either that, or he’s learned his lesson. Here’s what he said to the UN General Assembly:

“Israel’s existence must not be a subject for debate. Israel is a sovereign state, and the historic homeland of the Jewish people. It should be clear to all that efforts to chip away at Israel’s legitimacy will only be met by the unshakeable opposition of the United States,” he said.

Yeah? So is Obama going to withdraw U.S. support from the Human Rights Committee then? Demand that Israel be allowed to fully join the UN?

Fleeing the sinking ship: Axelrod is reportedly leaving the Obama administration. He and Rahm Emanuel got their guy in the White House, totally effed up America, and now they’re bailing. Good riddance.

The Republican Pledge to America: Jury’s out; I haven’t read it yet.

    Obama Slammed as ‘Racist,’ ‘Ignorant’ Over UN Speech

    United States President Barack Obama was criticized Thursday after calling on Israel to continue to forbid Jews to build in Judea and Samaria, in a speech to the United Nations.

    “Israel’s settlement moratorium has made a difference on the ground, and improved the atmosphere for talks,” he said. “We believe that the moratorium should be extended. We also believe that talks should press on until completed.”

    Regarding talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, Obama said, “We can say that this time it will be different, that this time, we will not let terror, or turbulence, or posturing, or petty politics stand in the way.” If talks succeed, he said, “we can have an agreement that will lead to a new member of the United Nations – an independent, sovereign state of Palestine, living in peace with Israel.”
