SHOCKING – AT 9:41 A.M. ET:   There are reports that Barack Obama will impose sanctions on Israel, our only true ally in the Mideast, while resisting new sanctions on Iran.  From the Washington Free Beacon: 

The Obama administration is refusing to discuss reports that emerged early Thursday claiming that the White House is considering imposing sanctions on Israel for continuing construction on Jewish homes in Jerusalem.

State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf dodged several questions on Thursday when confronted with reports that the administration had held secret internal meetings to discuss taking action against Israel for its ongoing building in East Jerusalem.

The classified meetings were reportedly held several weeks ago and included officials from both the State Department and White House, according to the Israeli daily Ha’aretz, which first reported on the meetings.

The possibility of sanctioning Israel for its ongoing construction sends a signal that the Obama administration is willing to go further in its denunciations of Israel then any previous White House.

At the same time, the White House is vigorously pushing Congress against passing new sanctions on Iran.

When asked to address the reports Thursday afternoon, Harf declined to take a stance.

“I’m obviously not going to comment one way or another on reported internal deliberations,” she said. “We’ve made clear our position on settlement activity publicly and that hasn’t changed.”

COMMENT:  Once again, we see the leftward march of this administration, revealing who Barack Obama actually is – a profoundly left-wing activist, brought into power largely by a media that refused to ask him any serious questions. 

If this country imposes sanctions on Israel, it will open the floodgates for European nations to do the same.  Our enemies must be laughing their heads off.

Yesterday, Obama called the mayor of New York City, who has a pro-Marxist background, to praise him for anti-police comments.

The American people have responded to the failures of this administration by voting heavily Republican in the last election.  But Obama still has two years left in office, and seems intent on doing as much harm as possible.
