The president and State Department offer soothing words of support to shore up their Jewish base while savaging Israel in international forums in order to placate Muslims. This is why Bibi hates Obama and considers him a feckless ally.

The United States is prepared to facilitate a cessation of hostilities between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, US President Barack Obama told Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu by phone today.
In the call, Obama "reiterated the United States strong condemnation of continuing rocket fire into Israel by Hamas and other terrorist organizations in Gaza and reaffirmed Israels right to defend itself against these attacks," the White House said in a readout of the conversation.

It was a jaw dropping performance.
Gordon blamed Israel for the failure for the administrations efforts to broker a peace deal between Israel and the PLO while effusively praising Fatah leader and Hamas partner Abbas.
And it only went down from there.
After insisting Israel is inadequately committed to peace, Gordon threatened to withdraw US support for Israel at the UN and open the door to the criminalization of Israel by the corrupt international body.
How will we prevent other states from supporting Palestinian efforts in international bodies, if Israel is not seen as committed to peace? he asked rhetorically.
Gordons remarks were not disputed by the State Department.
