White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough bluntly told a liberal pro-Israel lobby group yesterday “an occupation that has lasted for almost 50 years must end.”
He added, “President Obama still firmly believes what he said in Jerusalem two years ago — that peace is necessary, just and possible. Peace is necessary because it is the only way to ensure that a secure state of Israel is both Jewish and democratic. Israel cannot maintain military control of another people indefinitely. That’s the truth.”
It’s not the first time the word “occupation” has been used by an Obama official. In fact, in 2013, President Obama used it himself.
“The Palestinian people deserve an end to occupation and the daily indignities that come with it,” Obama said in Ramallah during a joint appearance with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
McDonough’s remarks continued the White House’s pushback against Netanyahu’s comments before his re-election that a two-state solution was off the table. Netanyahu has since walked back the remarks.
“Over the course of President Obama’s administration,” McDonough said, “most recently with the tireless efforts of Secretary Kerry, the United States has expended tremendous energy in pursuit of this goal. That is why the prime minister’s comments on the eve of the election — in which he first intimated and then made very clear in response to a follow-up question that a Palestinian state will not be established while he is prime minister — were so troubling.”
McDonough said the Obama administration will continue to oppose Israeli settlement expansion because “it undermines the prospects for peace.”
http://www.gofundme.com/pjjb9g Folks, we are living in the last days! As a freelance writer for God, I give him credit, and when I do someone else’s work, I give them the credit without plagurizing. I know others have been saying JESUS IS COMING, for many years. I have been laughed at for “tin foil hat” and drinking too much kool aid, but read the latest…. A couple of weeks ago, the Pope decided to accept the Islam Religion. This is part of Revelation prophecy, where the beast goes hand in hand with the great whore, and uses her to further his agenda, then he completely devours her. thegreatwhore.com It could only be the arab religion. Consider the “Moderate Muslims” who have been coming to America for years, joining our churches, clubs, etc. They wont kill you, but they want their Jihad warriors to kill you. It will be like $#%&!@*’s (you can google $#%&!@* arab connection) Germans. Most of them did not kill the jews, but they got the homes, lands, and treasures they left behind. You can google the story of $#%&!@* on history.com and the story of the Native Americans on the trail of tears. The Holocaust coming on mankind will be the last stand. It’s death will be more than the 6 million Jews, More than my ancestors the Cherokee. Now back to the Islamic Beast. While many Bible Prophecy teachers are looking in the wrong direction; the Islamic Ottoman Empire Abolished in March 1924 is coming back to life and is preparing to fight Israel in the battle of Har Meguido; (Armegeddon) Civils wars, Persecution of Jews and Christians in north Africa and Middle East are signs of the Resurrection of the Islamic Beast… “The fourth beast will be a fourth Kingdom on the earth, which will be different from all the other kingdoms, and will devour the whole earth and tread it down and crush it.” Israel and Middle East in the end times. http://www.islam-bible-prophecy.com/ The KJV Bible is more in tune with the times than any other version. Read this short course slowly: How I know the KJV is the word of God.
