In a conversation with Yeshiva World News, Martin Oliner strongly condemned the failure of the Obama administration to veto the UN resolution censoring Israel in regard to development in Judea and Samaria and Jerusalem.
“By breaking with decades of precedent and policy, President Obama has jeopardized the security of our closest ally. The betrayal of the Jewish people is made more galling by the patronizing comments that accompanied the abstention which characterized the resolution as beneficial to the peace process.”
Mr. Oliner continued, “The suggestion that peace can be achieved through this resolution is disingenuous. By failing to veto the resolution the lame duck Obama administration has shown it’s antipathy to Israel. It marks the death knell of American exceptionalism and demonstrates President Obama’s continual lack of leadership, commitment and loyalty to our allies. In the final analysis, it is the abandonment of America’s long-standing value for ensuring justice, righteousness, and integrity throughout the world.”
Mr. Oliner is the former mayor of Lawrence, the president of the Religious Zionists of America, and also the president of the Center for Righteousness and Integrity.

US Policy has always been against the Settlements
Everyone cool it
Barack Hussein Obama is showing his upbringing as a Muslim followed by his membership in the Jeremy Wright church.
He constrained himself somewhat until now, but now that he has no other obligations pushing him, he’s showing his true colors.
Let’s gather the names of all of the Jewish people who attended Obama’s Chanuka parties last week at the White House (At least as a starting point) to THANK THEM WHOLEHEARTEDLY for their support for him, and his party, all of these years.
I sincerely hope Lipa Shmeltzer will request to get his Golden Yarmulke back from Obama.
Didn’t Obama get the memo? Netanyahu has curtailed settlement activity. http://foreignpolicy.com/2014/09/05/everything-you-know-about-israeli-settlements-is-wrong/
So lets do it like this: not for me and neither for you
I agree with Mr “its time for truth’s” comments
And I don’t agree!
Whoever played as if Obama is pro Israel is a fool or worse.
But this past Friday was just plain stupid. Obama gained nothing from it, only negative feed back from even the Schumers’ in DC.
Let’s not forget BIBI’s NO leadership, he went along with Obama and held back building in Yehuda and Shomron (which belongs to us Jews!! At least according to G-d), even for natural growth.
Had he been stronger we would have never gotten to this point. The only reason Bibi is talking tough, is because he trying to copy Trump. He ain’t Trump however, he will capitulate very soon.
Bibi is a looser
#1, even though the U.S. policy has alway been against settlements, they have always used their veto power to not let the Anti-Israel UN security counsel get involved in the Palastinian-Israeli conflict.
