President Obama is not finished stabbing Israel in the back. We learned, through Israeli intelligence, that the disgraceful United Nations resolution condemning Israeli settlements was not only pushed through via Samantha Power's abstention, but that the draft itself was crafted by the Obama administration.
Then we learned that it was highly possible that, on January 15th, Sec. of State John Kerry might be presenting Obama's "vision" for a future Palestinian State to a quartet of nations who would in turn have those parameters enshrined by the U.N. Security Council prior to President-elect Trump taking office.
We now learn that Kerry is slated to deliver those remarks concerning Obama's "vision" today -- Wednesday -- at the State Department.
Obama’s deputy national security adviser for strategic communications, Ben Rhodes, previously said Kerry would give a speech to lay out the administration’s “comprehensive vision” on the conflict.
“I wouldn’t describe it as new initiatives, I think what Secretary Kerry will be doing is he will give a speech in which he lays out a comprehensive vision for how he sees the conflict being resolved,” Rhodes said.
Many believe that Kerry will announce Obama's recognition of a Palestinian state, or that his speech will outline the administrations' plans for the January 15th summit.
In Israel, Yesha Council Chief Foreign Envoy and Efrat Mayor Oded Revivi blasted Kerry as an "ignorant" person "disconnected from reality":
"When I met with Kerry a few weeks ago, I understood that we're talking about a person who is disconnected from reality and looking to make headlines. He's a person who takes sides in an argument and confuses facts with wishes. During his years in office, Kerry has seen over and over again Israel's willingness to compromise, as well as the Palestinian Authority's stubbornness and insistence on ignoring golden opportunities for lasting peace."
Revivi also said Kerry "has to stop dreaming and fantasizing about what Israel considers to be a nightmare. He also needs to connect to reality, and stop believing his fantasies are facts."
"John Kerry is a stain on American foreign policy that is ignorant of the issues. He has chosen to eternalize his legacy as the worst secretary of state in history that chose to stab his closest ally in the back while rivers of blood flowed like water across the Middle-East," continued Revivi. "I can personally attest to the fact that he knows very little about the realities in Judea and Samaria and instead chooses to defame us from afar by repeating fictitious mantras against us.
Of course the White House is denying claims that Obama, Kerry and National Security Adviser Susan Rice plotted the U.N. resolution, but we all know the real score.
Obama is a petty, nasty man who's had a personal vendetta against Israel since long before he took office. In the last hours of his presidency he sees an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone -- further endanger Israel and escalate a foreign policy crisis in the Middle East for Trump to have to deal with.
Anyone who screams about anti-Semitism concerning President-elect Trump but ignores the real anti-Semitism emanating from Obama's every word and deed is a hypocrite.
