Trump intervenes to sideline Obama over Israeli settlements
Egypt postpones UN security council vote on critical resolution after Israeli PM asks Trump’s transition team for help

Donald Trump appears to have intervened with two foreign governments in a move aimed at sidelining Barack Obama over a UN security council resolution criticising Israel’s settlements.

New Zealand, Venezuela, Malaysia, and Senegal – all currently non-veto-wielding members of the security council, have warned Egypt that if it does not clarify by midnight on Friday whether it plans to call a vote, they reserve the right to move ahead with the text.

More information in the link above. Color me shocked, Trump grandstanding and using Israel as a cudgel with which to inflate his own ego. Obama really needs to come out strong against Trump on his way out. This is childish petulance and geopolitical ineptitude on full display.

Good.
 
And clearly an anti-Semite.

I was unaware "anti-Semite" was defined as someone who doesn't acquiesce entirely to Israel's every whim.

Did you know that the Palestinian people are also Semitic people?

They're also anti-Semetic.

It's not. An anti-Semite is someone who hates Jews. You know, like Brock O'Bama. ;)

In this post truth world, they are now synonymous. The thought police now know for sure that you are using the word 'Israel' or 'Zionist' as a substitute for 'Every single Jew that ever lived or is living'.
 
Moderator's Warning:


* This is not the place to discuss the Israel/Palestine situation. Israel and Palestine are in the Middle East and there is a specific forum for this discussion. Any mention of the Israel/Palestine conflict in any of the Breaking News Forums will result in a B/F/T infraction. This new rule is firm and there will be no "wiggle room" in terms of the I/P conflict being discussed in any forum other than the ME Forum.
