- "[U]nlike
America, Europe is inherently anti-Semitic. This anti-Semitism is
spread more or less evenly across the political spectrum and,
therefore, it translates into widespread hostility to Israel.
Europeans hate the Jews. Consequently, they hate the Jewish
state." — Robin Shepherd, A State Beyond The Pale: Europe's
Problem With Israel.
- No
"Palestinian" leader has publicly disavowed jihad
against Jews. Instead, every aspect of engagement by
"Palestinians" with Jews and Israelis is considered an
obligation for advancing this jihad until its final expected
objective of pushing the Jews out of "Palestine" has been
reached.
- The doublespeak
of the Palestinian leadership made no difference within the UN.
Since the June 1967 war, the UN began to tilt away from being fair
and balanced toward Israel, and extended support to Arabs of the
"occupied" West Bank and Gaza as an indigenous
"Palestinian" people supposedly wronged by Jews.
- "The long
march through the UN has produced many benefits for the PLO. It has
created a people where there was none; an issue where there was
none; a claim where there was none. Now the PLO is seeking to create
a state where there already is one." — Jeane Kirkpatrick, U.S.
ambassador to the UN (1981-85).
- All of this
occurred with the complicity of member states of the once-Christian
West in the UN against one single and much maligned Jewish state,
Israel, surrounded by hostile Arab and Muslim states in the Middle
East.

The passage of the UN Security Council Resolution 2334 just before
Christmas 2016, with the United States abstaining, was an IED-wrapped
Chanukkah gift that lame-duck President Barack Hussein Obama delivered to
Israel. It was another signal to Palestinians that they may continue
their "rejectionism" of Israel, and stage another round of
jihadi terrorism providing the UN the excuse to deliver pre-packaged
condemnations of any Israeli reaction to the maiming and murder of Jews
in the so-called "occupied" territories.

The Middle East is a more dangerous place after eight years of the
Obama presidency than it was before. The eight disastrous Obama years
follow eight disastrous George W. Bush years, during which that part of
the world became more dangerous as well. So have many other international
hot spots.
In sum, the past 16 years have seen major foreign policy blunders
all over the world, and most especially in the area between Libya and
Iran — that includes Israel, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Turkey and the
Gulf.
With regard to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, the
Obama policies have made the prospects for a compromise peace more
difficult to achieve. When Israel felt that America had its back — under
both Presidents Clinton and George W. Bush — they offered generous
proposals to end settlements and occupation in nearly all of the West
Bank.
