Rice slams treatment of Israel at United Nations
2011-12-16
Political donations must be waaaaaaay down.
US Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice has denounced the treatment that Israel receives at the UN as "obsessive, ugly, bad for the United Nations
...an idea whose time has gone...
and bad for peace."
So true. And yet she has spent much of her career adding fuel to that particular fire.
In an address to the annual reception of the Conference of Presidents Fund on Wednesday, Rice reaffirmed US commitment to oppose any efforts to "chip away at Israel's legitimacy."
"Except when the Obama administration is doing it, or agrees with what is being said," she added, sotto voce.
She praised the extensive US-Israel military intelligence cooperation, saying President Barack I don't sit around just talking to experts because this is a college seminar, we talk to these folks because they potentially have the best answers, so I know whose ass to kick Obama "has been clear all along that our special relationship with Israel is deeply rooted in our common interests and our common values."
Certainly he has been clear that his interests and values nowhere intersect with Israel's.

#3  They are still Jews, lotp---meaning they know, deep down inside, who'll be the first target of the mobs if the economy collapses.

#2  Depends on how you define 'Jewish', g(r)omgoru.

There are plenty of secular, strongly leftwing people of Jewish descent in the US who will contribute heavily to his campaign, I suspect.
