Quartet Joins Obama in Dividing Jerusalem and ....
On the footsteps of President Obama's speech at the United Nations, the Quartet led by Obama's Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reiterated President Obama's call for Israel to stop all building activities in East Jerusalem and the territories. In a joint communique, the Quartet went on to encourage the Palestinians to build institutions of state during the next 24 months. This is an endorsement of the Fayaad plan to declare a Palestinian State in 2 years whether or not Israel and the Palestinians come to a formal agreement.

In the words of the Quartet, "Recalling that transformative change on the ground is integral to peace, the Quartet welcomes the Palestinian Authority's plan for constructing the institutions of the Palestinian state within 24 months as a demonstration of the PA's serious commitment to an independent state that provides opportunity, justice, and security for the Palestinian people and is a responsible neighbor to all states in the region."

In endorsing the Fayaad plan, the Quartet has broken new ground as it follows Obama's aggressive lead. Israel is being iced out of the negotiating process. If Israel does not capitulate to dividing Jerusalem and to retreating to indefensible borders look for Obama and the Quartet to recognize the Palestinian State, and Israel will become an international pariah state.

In dealing with the settlements, the Quartet considers all the West Bank as occupied territory and prohibits even "natural growth" - a growing family adding a bedroom to an existing house or even a porch to a backyard.  The sentence dealing with Jerusalem reads, "The Quartet urges the government of Israel to freeze all settlement activity, including natural growth; and to refrain from provocative actions in East Jerusalem and calls on the Palestinian Authority to continue to make every effort to improve law and order, to fight violent extremism, and to end incitement" While Israel is instructed to give up tangible matter the Palestinians are simply urged to make a good effort.

The communique does not refer to Israel as a Jewish state.

With the United States leading the way the forces aligned against Israel are becoming bolder and brasher.

Dear Lovers of Israel,

The handwriting is on the wall. We are officially "alone". Having failed at foreign policy everywhere, Obama is going to beat Israel into the ground since the only consensus he can find is the one that says the Jews and Israel must be dumped and sacrificed in order to salvage Obama's lackluster career.

I pray that the new year will bring better tidings. Mr, Netanyahu's willpower and steadfastness are all that stand between the survival of the Jewish State and total oblivion. He must defy the "quartet". The United Nations can only agree on one premise and that is constant harassment and censure of beloved Israel.I urge all those of any faith that treasures the Holy Land to write the White House and their members of Congress to please stop this tragedy in progress.

This article presents a chilling augur of what the Jewish State of Israel will have to deal with vis-a-vis the Obama administration. I hope and pray that Prime Minister Netanyahu will remain strong in the face of such injustice. Jerusalem must never be divided. On this Yom Kippur eve, I pray that the Jewish State of Israel stands strong and does not capitulate one centimeter of land to the Palestinians. In addition, Israel must not give in to the demands of opposition parties--that has been the disastrous end in Jewish history. Beginning with an undivided, indivisible Jerusalem, we world Jewry must stand together in our resolve and steadfast commitment. Gmar Hatima Tova.

The quartet of gloom, a harbinger of doom; they smiled; they said Once Israel is our friend. They smiled they said we won’t hurt you Jews. They smiled, they said, we just want too promote peace. They smiled they said, move now leave and we shall leave you be. Now they speak as if a voice from a dark cold past; haunting memory of then. They speak the same. They utter those same words. The world sits by?
One is now, one is past and done.
If the Jews in a Jewish state; can not expect too live in peace. If they are not allowed the simple comfort of: Life, or Liberty and the freewill to seek some Happiness. What kind of world is this then?
For once in time past, they smiled, and then it seemed that night did fall, darkness evil came. They back then did, as today’s new harbingers; they smiled ever so politely. Once they condemned us blamed us all, for a night of broken glass; they now blame us condemn us all for these nightly rocket that do fall; They fore get those days not so long now past; when the new UN made too us a solemn pact.
That man like they would not pretend nor condemn the State of Israel.

That was then and they are now?

I am an American Christian, I give to Judicial Watch, a legal watchdog group, please read the following quotes from them:

On September 16, oral arguments were heard in Judicial Watch's lawsuit on behalf of U.S. Foreign Service Officer David C. Rodearmel, who is challenging Hillary Clinton's appointment to Secretary of State based on the Ineligibility Clause of the U.S. Constitution.


The U.S. Constitution's Ineligibility Clause explicitly states: "No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States, which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time."

In other words, if an individual served in Congress while the salary of a civil office was increased, they cannot serve in that position until their term in Congress expires.

During Hillary's last Senate term, "emoluments" (or the salary) of the U.S. Secretary of State increased at least three times, which means, of course, that Hillary is constitutionally ineligible to serve in this capacity. That is, unless you're willing to cast aside the U.S. Constitution in the name of political expediency.

Congress attempted to get around the Ineligibility Clause with what is known as the "Saxbe fix," reducing the Secretary of State's salary to the level in effect on January 1, 2007. And what's wrong with this strategy which has its roots all the way back to the Taft administration? This "fix" cannot change the historical fact that the salary was increased.

Don't you think if the Framers had intended for exceptions to the Ineligibility Clause they would have included them in the Constitution? Of course! But they did not. They viewed this clause as an important component in protecting against corruption and ensuring the proper separation of powers between the three branches of government. -Judicial Watch, end

Hillary Clinton IS NOT a lawful Secretary of State from the United States of America. She was appointed while she was still a SENATOR. She should be cast from her office as Secretary of State and have no valid requests against Israel.

With so much discussion about dividing Jerusalem, it seems to me Israel might have to go ahead and annex all of E. Jerusalem and remove any Palestinian presence therein. Possibly even build an Israeli governmental building in the east and declare that the talks about a divided Jerusalem are over. What other choice is there. The Palestinians insist on having E. Jerusalem for a capital, Bibi says Jerusalem will not be divided. The two ideas cannot coincide. We know from 40 plus years of experience the Palestinians will not comprise on any issue. See the latest reports on JP discussing how much land Olmert offered them and they still declined! Land offerings for peace from Israel have never worked. The Palestinians take the land and then fire rockets at Israel or send suicide bombers. The pattern is measurable and has been repeated time and time again.

Every Seder around the table we state ext Year Jerusalem, not east or west or north or south. Even the Quran says Jerusalem is a Jewish holy City. As for Judea and Samaria Israel is being kind in the negotiations. Dig a few feet down anywhere there Jewish artifacts can be uncovered . for 3000 years all of this was Jewish. If you check Israel at the time of King David Jordan was even included as Israel. I think Israel has given up enough and Obama as well as Clinton should be more concerned about all the other issues. Fallum Gong being tortured in China, Korea and Iran and many others . USA' only true friend and democracy in the mid east is being picked on mercilessly.

I do not see why Israel continues to put up with this. You have the creator of all things on your side. Stop worrying about what the U.S., The U.N or anyone else thinks. Take what is rightfully yours!!! Drive them out and get rid of that abomination on the temple mount.

It is rapidly becoming evident that Obama is a national disgrace who intends to wreck our nation by any means possible. This man is a total failure! Always remember the Living God is in control of everything and He has stated that he will exact great punishment upon nations that seek to destroy Israel! With God on your side, who can overcome you? Nobody!

Do not give away any part of Israel.
The Arabs will never be satisfied so Israel might as well hold on to what it has.
Learn from the Gaza experience.
The reason why Israel is getting all this world pressure is that it looks vulnerable because of all the concessions it keeps offering.
Stay strong and you will win in the end.

Aussie supporter of Israel.This is a sad state of affairs. I never thought I would see the US buckle to the Arab world in such a way. Americans are bewitched by Obama and dont see him for what he truly stands for. His elegant rhetoric is at times memerising but his actions speak louder. No good will come for him or America if he continues on this course - Jerualem belongs lock stock and barrel to Israel as does the greater surrounding territory.Israel must stand firm and continue to settle all of Jerusalem.

It is heartwarming to read the pro-Israel testimonials from our Christian brethren. They know that all that is Christian will always be protected and revered by the people of Israel even though radical Islam frequently destroys Christian and Jewish holy sites. I cite the occupation of the Church in Bethlehem. The militants desecrated this holy place and held the monks hostage
. The international attacks on Jews and Israel have reached out and poisoned so many weak minds with their venom. I use the term "radical Islam" but since I hear no dissent from so-called moderate Muslims I am beginning to think that the enemy might be Islam itself.

The joke is on all those fools who kow tow to Islamics. What makes them think that they are special and not scheduled for annihilation by their new-found friends?

May the Almighty bless all people who revere life and don't worship death.
May the Almighty soften the hearts of mothers who gleefully send their sons off to commit suicide in the name of Allah

Please understand that Obama only has "some" Americans fooled. I have been waiting for Israel to suggest that Americans not be allowed to build in the border states, those that share a border with Mexico. After all some Hispanics talk of this area being disputed, since some of it was taken in armed confrontations and some just annexed by the U.S.. It was not even taken for security reasons. I don't have any liberal guilt about it having been done, but fair for one is fair for the other.

Obama and hiscohorts have one aim, namely to destroy all opposition as well as to destroyall vestiges of freedom and free enterprise. They are hell bent on turning the USA into a socialist dictatorship, and they want to destroy Israel as we have a president who is at heart a Muslim.


Raymond Ibrahim says it all......


'Say your weaker neighbor has a border dispute with you. At the same
time, however, you know for a fact that he sees you as his 'eternal'
enemy for nothing less than your beliefs/lifestyle, and nothing short
of your total acquiescence to his beliefs/lifestyle will change that.
Finally, you know that the day he grows sufficiently strong, he will
undoubtedly attack you in order to make you live according to his
beliefs/lifestyle.

Surely in this context, whether his border dispute with you is
legitimate or not, making concessions to him while knowing his
hostility for you will never subside but rather become more emboldened
and augmented with contempt is sheer suicide. Yet this is precisely
what happens whenever the U.S. makes any concessions to Islamists.

In sum, we, the 'infidels' Americans and Israelis alike are de facto
enemies. It is in this context that the question of U.S. support for
Israel should be examined. Being hated and deemed the enemy for
temporal grievances of a political nature must be viewed as peripheral
to being hated for fundamental differences of an existential nature.

When the latter, much more important issue is redressed, then and
only then should the veracity of the former be open to debate or even
consideration. In the meantime, all 'political' complaints must be
seen as absolutely moot. It's a simple matter of priorities.'

'Unlike the permanent Muslim desecration of Hagia Sophia, after
Israel's victory in the 1967 war, the Jews did not deface or convert
the mosque into a Jewish synagogue or temple, even though the Al Aqsa
mosque is deliberately built atop the remains of the Temple Mount, the
holiest site of Judaism and, by extension, an important site for
Christians. Moreover, since reclaiming the Temple Mount, Israel has
granted Muslims control over the Al Aqsa mosque (except during times
of crises).
