The Obama Administration has been unusually comfortable criticizing Israel in public, complaining repeatedly about Israel’s massive settlement expansions and the damage they are doing to the failed peace process.
The White House feels strongly about this, but today sought to reassure that they don’t feel strongly enough to actually do anything, denying reports that they were even considering sanctions if the settlement expansion continues as “unfounded and without merit.”
Though the tensions between the US and Israel have been a topic of some political discussion in Israel, particularly with the election looming in March, the administration clearly doesn’t see it going anywhere policy-wise.
Still, even the rumor sparked an angry backlash from Congress, with 48 of them managing to sign a joint letter complaining that the rumor was “extremely worrisome” in the brief period between the report and the official denial.
Not to mention profoundly disturbing, highly un-uplifting, moderately alarming, deeply troubling, horribly saddening and certain to soil even the most hard-hearted of diapers.
If you happen to have a rich psychopathic 5 year old in your area who's come-uppance might be spoken of loosely…I'd recommend picking up the kiss-up jargon.

Although is very highly recommended as a popular demand, but USG won't do it, don't ask why, AIPAC is not recommending it.

This is not the first time that such revelations are made about Israeli arms aids to the terrorists in the region. In February, a senior Iraqi military commander disclosed that the weapons used by ISIL in its war against both the governments of Syria and Iraq are Israeli-made.
“All weapons seized from the terrorists from 2006 onwards have been advanced weapons made in Israel,” Major General Fazel Al-Barvari….

I wonder just how much they miss Saddam. Even he seems reasonable in retrospect.
So, as usual, Israel does as it wants and no one is moral enough to stand up to the neighborhood bully. Makes me want to puke.
Aw gee what a big surprise, and here I was all ready to give Obama a big thumbs up for digging out the jar with his testes in it that he seems to have stowed away under the kitchen sink since, oh about Jan. 2009.
The way he must alienate larger countries with great potential to satisfy the whims of Israel and sometimes to the detriment of the US is ridiculous…but I guess comes with the job.
It’s all for show. Nut&yahoo knows that his American schwartzer knows his place.
Have too many Americans lost their collective minds ? If Israel is a friend, what does an enemy look like ?
