Obama Used His Final UN Address to Promote A 'Liberal World Order' And A Palestinian State - By Michael Snyder - http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/obama-used-his-final-un-address-to-promote-a-liberal-world-order-and-a-palestinian-state
During Barack Obama's eighth and final address to the United Nations he let his true colors show. He staunchly defended globalism, he took several not very subtle shots at Donald Trump, and he boldly declared that Israel "cannot permanently occupy and settle Palestinian land". That statement about "Palestinian land" was extremely alarming to many, because there are indications that Obama may decide to support a UN Security Council resolution that establishes the parameters for a Palestinian state during his final months in the White House. Barack Obama has promised to squeeze every ounce of "change" out of the remainder of his term that he possibly can, and his last UN speech showed what is on his heart at this moment.
According to the Washington Post, Obama's final UN address represented "an impassioned plea on behalf of a liberal world order"...
President Obama, in his final speech to the United Nations Tuesday, made an impassioned plea on behalf of a liberal world order that he admitted was under growing threat from wars in the Middle East and rising nationalism at home and in Europe.
Speaking to the U.N. General Assembly for the eighth and last time as president, Obama sought to rise above the conflicts of the moment and outline a future of international cooperation, stressing the importance of the global liberal institutions formed after World War II, including the United Nations.
Barack Obama is a true believer in internationalism. He appears to be completely convinced that the best path forward for humanity involves more integration on all levels - political, economic and even spiritual. Just check out this excerpt from his speech...
"I believe that at this moment we all face a choice," Obama said. "We can choose to press forward with a better model of cooperation and integration or we can retreat into a world sharply divided and ultimately in conflict along age-old lines of nation and tribe and race and religion. I want to suggest to you today that we must go forward and not back."
Obama's obsession with globalism is one of the reasons why he has so much disdain for Donald Trump, and his speech at the United Nations contained quite a few comments that seemed specifically targeted at him. The following comes from CNN...
He painted a dark picture of the future awaiting Americans, and the world, if the forces of "aggressive nationalism" or "crude populism" win out. And he specifically inveighed against building a wall - a centerpiece of Trump's proposal on border security.
"A nation ringed by walls would only imprison itself," Obama declared to the assembled representatives of the UN's member states.
But even more alarming than his defense of globalism was his wording about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I can't remember any previous president ever using the phrase "Palestinian land" before. Obviously a "two-state solution" is already an inevitable outcome in Obama's mind. Here is the full quote for those that have not seen it yet...
"Surely Israelis and Palestinians will be better off if Palestinians reject incitement and recognize the legitimacy of Israel. But Israel must recognize that it cannot permanently occupy and settle Palestinian land."
To me, this statement is a major red flag.
Could it be possible that Barack Obama plans to stab Israel in the back by supporting a UN Security Council resolution that permanently divides the Holy Land before his time in the White House is done?
On Wednesday, Obama is scheduled to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. As you can see, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest says that a discussion about a "two-state solution" will be on the agenda...
Obama plans to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday to "discuss the need for genuine advancement of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the face of deeply troubling trends on the ground," according to White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest.
Barack Obama knows that he only has until January 20th, 2017 to take any action on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
If he supports a UN Security Council resolution formally recognizing a Palestinian state and granting them East Jerusalem as their capital, the next president would not be able to go back and undo that. So this may be a way for Obama to "leave a legacy" in the Middle East, and he may especially be tempted to do this if it looks like Donald Trump could win the election...
A looming Donald Trump presidency would make it more likely for lame-duck US President Barack Obama to support a United Nations Security Council resolution laying down the basic parameters for the creation of Palestinian state, a former top US official said Sunday.
"I suspect that if Trump wins, the president would be more inclined to go for a Security Council resolution to try to do something that binds, creates standards for the future that the next president couldn't undo," Dennis Ross said at a conference on the future of Zionism and the US-Israel relationship. "If Clinton wins, I suspect he [Obama] would be more sensitive to her concerns as to whether this helps or hurt her."
Less than a week ago, I wrote an article about how UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon also appears to want to see movement toward a Palestinian state before his term ends, and he reaffirmed this position very strongly on Tuesday...
Earlier on Tuesday, UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon told the UN General Assembly that the only solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would be a two-state solution, and that the one-state option would "spell doom" for both sides.
"This is madness. Replacing a two-state solution with a one-state construct would spell doom: denying Palestinians their freedom and rightful future, and pushing Israel further from its vision of a Jewish democracy towards greater global isolation," said Ban.
Of course Barack Obama and Ban Ki-moon are both dead wrong about this.
If the UN Security Council passes a resolution that sets the parameters for a Palestinian state, it would be one of the worst things that they could possibly do, and it would set the stage for a major war in the Middle East.
But the pressure is on, and the world community seems to sense a real opportunity to divide the land of Israel.
Every year, the World Council of Churches observes a "World Week for Peace" during the month of September, and the focus is almost always on the Middle East.
This year, the work of the Palestine Israel Ecumenical Forum will be highlighted during the "World Week for Peace", and it is an organization that is strongly affiliated with the World Council of Churches. On their website, the Palestine Israel Ecumenical Forum has just released a poem that declares that "it's time for Palestine". This is how that poem begins...
- It's time for Palestine.
- It's time for Palestinians and Israelis to share a just peace.
- It's time to respect human lives in the land called holy.
- It's time for healing to begin in wounded souls.
- It's time to end more than 60 years of conflict, oppression and fear.
- It's time for freedom from occupation.
- It's time for equal rights.
- It's time to stop discrimination, segregation and restrictions on movement.
- It's time for those who put up walls and fences to build them on their own property.
- It's time to stop bulldozing one community's homes and building homes for the other community on land that is not theirs.
- It's time to do away with double standards.
Overall, I don't know if I have ever seen such an international push for a Palestinian state like we are seeing right now.
And the man that holds all the power is Barack Obama, because a potential U.S. veto is all that stands in the way of a UN Security Council resolution that divides the land of Israel and establishes a Palestinian state.
At this moment we are in the danger zone. Obama has only four months left to pull the trigger, and Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have both stated that they do not plan to support such a resolution once they take office.
So if something is going to happen, it is almost certainly going to be before January 20th, 2017.
It is unclear what Obama is going to do at this point, but it is not exactly comforting that the fate of the land of Israel lies in his hands.
Obama at UN: Israel can't permanently occupy Palestinian land - http://www.jpost.com/Diaspora/Obama-at-UN-Israel-must-recognize-it-cant-permanently-occupy-Palestinian-land-468236
US President Barack Obama, speaking before the UN General Assembly in New York for the last time, briefly addressed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict Tuesday.
"Israelis and Palestinians will be better off if Palestinians reject incitement and recognize Israel's right to exist," Obama said during a 15-minute speech that covered a wide array of topics.
He added, however, that Israel must "recognize that it cannot permanently occupy and settle Palestinian land."
Obama opened his speech highlighting his accomplishments during his eight years as president, yet noted that "fault lines" still existed throughout the world.
"The world is by many measures less violent and more prosperous than ever before," he told the assembly, adding democratic countries throughout the world have doubled in the last 25 years.
The US president warned, however, that injustice and intolerance is encroaching on human freedoms, citing the Middle East as a hotbed of turmoil.
We must reject the idea of "ethnic superiority" and embrace universal human dignity, Obama told the assembly, adding that If we discriminate on the basis of ethnicity or religion, then humanity will be harmed.
All parties must recognize a common humanity, he stated. Without this,"the embers of extremism will continue to burn," he said.
Opening the gathering of world leaders Tuesday was UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who addressed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in his initial remarks.
"As a friend of both the Israeli and Palestinian peoples, it pains me that this past decade has been ten years lost to peace," Ban said. "Ten years lost to illegal settlement expansion. Ten years lost to intra-Palestinian divide, growing polarization and hopelessness. This is madness."
In response, Israel's Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, released a statement, slamming the Secretary-General and said that "the real madness belongs to the UN."
"Instead of focusing on Palestinian terror and incitement, and instead of compelling (Palestinain Authority President) Mahmoud Abbas to return to the negotiating table, the Secretary-General chose to criticize Israel once again," he continued. "This is an obsession with Israel and it must end."
"At a time when Palestinian terror is on the rise in Israel, the Secretary General chose to criticize us and ignore the direct responsibility of Abbas and the Palestinian leadership who continue to incite towards terror."
Danon has called out the Secretary General multiple times over his first year at the UN for statements directed against Israel.
Why Won't Obama Call It Terrorism? - By Michael Snyder - http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/why-wont-obama-call-it-terrorism
Everybody knows that what just happened in New York City was an act of Islamic terror, so why won't Barack Obama use those words? 28-year-old Afghan immigrant Ahmad Khan Rahami only had one motivation when he planted those improvised explosive devices. He wanted to use violence to promote the cause of Islam. All over the planet radical Islam is on the rise, and we have seen more than 1000 Islamic terror attacks worldwide so far this year. But an extreme form of political correctness is causing many of our leaders to deny what is happening right in front of their eyes. In fact, Barack Obama refused to use the word terrorism when talking about the attack in New York...
President Barack Obama made no mention of terrorism in his remarks on the bombings and attempted bombings in the New York City/New Jersey region over the weekend.
He also chastised the media and urged restraint when reporting about incidents that appear to be terrorist-related.
"I ask that the press try to refrain from getting out ahead of the investigation," Obama said. "... it does not help if false reports or incomplete information is out there."
Throughout his entire presidency, Barack Obama has been extremely reluctant to link radical Islam and terror. When he has spoken of Islam, his remarks have almost always been extremely positive.
And it is understandable why Obama would be so hesitant to say anything that could be construed to be negative about Islam. There are people working in his administration that are Muslim, and he has a whole host of friends and relatives that are Muslim.
But to deny that Ahmad Khan Rahami had a religious motivation because it would not be politically correct to admit that he did is insane.
Of course he had a religious motivation and of course this was yet another instance of Islamic terror.
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio also initially refused to call the bombing an act of terror, and he was roundly criticized by security experts interviewed by USA Today...
Several experts including a former New York City police commissioner said Sunday the explosion that injured 29 people on a Manhattan street was clearly an act of terrorism, and they were perplexed that Mayor Bill de Blasio called it only "an intentional act."
"It is absolutely an act of terrorism. I couldn't disagree with him (de Blasio) more," Howard Safir, who was police commissioner from 1996 to 2000, said in an interview. "I think they do a disservice to the public when they try to sugar coat something that is a horrific act."
After an immense public outcry, the mayor finally broke down on Monday and decided to use the word "terror"...
At the same conference, Mayor Bill de Blasio said 'We have every reason to believe this is an act of terror' - after days of refusing to call the bombings just that.
It was later explained that authorities had to distinguish between the emotion of 'terror' felt when the Chelsea bomb detonated on Saturday, injuring 29 people, and the act of terrorism - which could not be determined until a suspect and his or her motivations had been identified.
The radical Islamists are very clear about who their enemies are and about what they want to accomplish. If we put our heads in the sand and pretend that they don't exist, the radical Islamists are not going to stop attacking us. Instead, they will just rapidly get the upper hand.
Barack Obama and his politically correct friends want to see the world a certain way. They believe what they want to believe. But the truth is that radical Islam is a rapidly growing evil, and virtually every nation on the planet is now starting to feel the pain. Just consider an incident which just took place underneath the Eiffel Tower...
Three illegal immigrants were in custody in Paris today after a teenager was found tied up and gagged after allegedly being gang raped underneath the Eiffel Tower.
The horrifying attack took place after the 19-year-old was lured on a Facebook 'date' in the French capital.
She responded to messages from who she thought was a 17-year-old Tunisian boy and initially met him close to her home in the Paris suburbs.
But last Sunday night she turned up at the Champs des Mars, the public park where the Eiffel Tower is situated, and was attacked.
It isn't wrong to question an immigration policy that has been importing thousands upon thousands of people from areas of the world where radical Islam is dominant. The decisions that our government makes have consequences, and we just saw an example of this in Minnesota. The man that started viciously attacking people with a knife in a Macy's Department store was a radical Islamist that originally came to the U.S. from Somalia, and it turns out that since 9/11 more Somali refugees have been resettled in Minnesota than anywhere else in the nation...
Almost 100,000 Somali refugees have been resettled in the United States since 9/11, including 8,619 so far during the current fiscal year. The largest number - some 16 percent of the total over the past 15 years - have been resettled in Minnesota, home to the nation's biggest Somali-American community.
Unfortunately, our leaders have not learned anything from their past mistakes. Barack Obama plans to dramatically increase the number of Syrian refugees coming into this country in 2017, and Hillary Clinton is on record saying that she wants to raise the number to 65,000 per year...
The Obama administration, meanwhile, wants to boost the total number of refugees to the U.S. next year to 110,000, a nearly 30 percent increase. Clinton specifically wants to increase the number of Syrian refugee admissions from 10,000 to 65,000.
As I have discussed previously, 98.33 percent of the Syrian refugees that have been brought in so far are Sunni Muslims, and surveys have found that a significant percentage of Sunni refugees are sympathetic to ISIS.
Barack Obama always promised to fundamentally change America, and he appears to be trying to keep that promise.
Let us just hope that the amount of damage that he does to our country over the remaining months of his term will be minimized somehow.
