A Stupid Anti-Israel Policy

"Secretary of State John Kerry used the word "conscience" over and over again as he attempted to explain and justify the Obama administration's decision not to veto a one-sided U.N. Security Council resolution condemning Israel. He added that the U.S. could not 'stand idly by' while Israel torpedoed any hope for a two-state solution.

The Obama administration knows all about standing 'idly by' – that was its all-but-explicit policy toward other troubles in the Middle East...And so, when Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad massacred up to 400,000 people by dropping barrel bombs on civilian neighborhoods, shelling hospitals, and imposing sieges of cities to starve out the inhabitants, the Obama administration stood very, very idly by. Even after warning Assad that the use of chemical weapons would trigger a U.S. response, Obama did nothing when Assad called his bluff.

When ISIS was rampaging through northern Iraq and southern Syria, beheading and crucifying people and burning them alive, the Obama administration stood idly by...

The world is aflame with threats and instability, yet Kerry and Obama, petulant leftists with an Israel fixation, could not resist this last kick in the teeth to the region's sole democracy. They knew it would harm Israel's moral standing – now the delegitimizers can claim that Israel is in violation of 'Security Council' resolutions – and give an unmerited win to the Palestinians.

Perhaps most infuriating of all, they claim to be doing it all for Israel's own good. Too bad they couldn't follow their own advice: 'Don't do stupid s**t.'"
