OUR LIAR-IN-CHIEF MAY FINALLY SHOW HIS TRUE COLORS ON ISRAEL

Reports say that Obama is considering sanctions against Israel for its housing construction in Jerusalem and the West Bank settlements

For the past 60-plus years I’ve heard every president tell lies. There’s nothing strange about that because, after all, they are politicians. But Obama takes the cake. He’s made an art out of lying, telling lie after lie, thereby earning the title of ‘Liar-In-Chief.’

Obama keeps claiming to be a true friend of Israel, but with friends like our Liar-In-Chief, Israel sure as hell doesn’t need any enemies. Obama’s hatred of Israeli Prime Minister Binjamin Netanyahu has long been obvious and knows no bounds. And it looks like he may be getting ready to stab Israel in the back.

Reports say that Obama is considering sanctions against Israel for its housing construction in Jerusalem and the West Bank settlements. Now that he’s in the final term of his presidency, Obama is making it clear he doesn’t need the ‘Jewish vote’ anymore.

REPORT: OBAMA EYES SANCTIONS ON ISRAEL WHILE GIVING IRAN A PASS

Senior White House and State Department officials have recently met to discuss the possibility of imposing sanctions on Israel in an effort to stop housing construction projects in eastern Jerusalem, Haaretz reported.

The report – which comes as the Obama administration is lobbying furiously against new sanctions on Iran over its illicit nuclear program – is likely to trigger new, bipartisan concern on Capitol Hill over the direction of U.S. Mideast policy.

The Israel sanctions discussions are said to have begun after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the White House in October and clashed with the administration over the construction of a new housing development in that part of the city.

The administration warned Israel that the project would raise questions about Israel’s commitment to peace with the Palestinians. Netanyahu replied that Israel does not accept restrictions on where Jews can live, and that Arabs and Jews in the Israeli capital should be allowed to purchase homes wherever they choose.

On Thursday, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf dodged questions on whether the administration was considering sanctions against Israel, saying she would not comment on “internal” deliberations.

The possibility of sanctions has “prompted consternation on Capitol Hill and throughout the pro-Israel world,” The Washington Free Beacon reported.

“If these reports are true, this would mark a new era of unprecedented hostility from the White House against our strongest ally in the Middle East,” a senior congressional aide stated. “It’s impossible not to notice the irony of the administration mulling sanctions on Israel while threatening to veto new sanctions against Iran.”

“The president should be forewarned that taking such action against Israel would yield tremendous pushback from Congress,” the aide added.

Pro-Israel activists expressed similar concerns about reports that the administration is considering sanctions on Israel while fighting them on Iran, which opposes the Jewish state’s existence.

“Even this administration, which has been historically hostile to our Israeli allies, even as they worked overtime to bomb the enemies of Iranian proxies across the Middle East, could not possibly be so aggressively committed to undermining our alliances as to levy sanctions against Israel at the same time they’re lifting them on Iran,” a senior official with a pro-Israel organization told the Free Beacon.
