JERUSALEM, Israel -- Egypt made history this week, supporting Israel's bid for membership in the Committee on Peaceful Uses of Outer Space Affairs at the United Nations.

It was the first time Egypt voted in support of Israel since it backed the 1948 U.N. vote establishing the Jewish nation.

The vote passed by a wide margin, with 117 member states in favor; 21 abstentions, among them Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Tunisia, Morocco, Qatar, and Kuwait; and Namibia the only country opposing the Israeli bid.

"The vote today proves there are some countries who find it more important to bash Israel than to contribute to the international community, like Qatar who abstained on the vote even though it was a vote on its own acceptance to the committee," the Israeli Mission to the United Nations said in a statement.

In September, Egyptian President Fattah Abdel el-Sisi called on more Arab countries to make peace with Israel, saying the 1979 peace treaty between Egypt and Israel has held for nearly four decades despite doubters.

UNREAL: Obama Tells Israel to Cut Back on Fighting Terrorists

Oct. 23, 2015

Barack Obama is trying his best to stand in between Israel and the destruction of one of the world’s most dangerous terrorist organizations.

The president has made it clear since the conflict in Gaza began heating up a few weeks ago, that his support of Israel begins and ends at the podium, as his actions outside of his famously scripted and egocentric speeches demonstrates a hidden hostility toward the Israelis.


President Obama warned Israeli leaders to use “restraint” in dealing with terrorists who were bombing their country, doing untold amounts of damage and putting people’s lives in danger.

After a peace agreement was rejected by Hamas, Israel decided it was time to move in ground forces to take out underground tunnel networks being used to conceal rockets and other weapons, despite Obama “warning” them not to do it.

Now the president is asking the Israeli government to take things down a few notches and keep fighting so hard.

via Daily Caller:

"President Barack Obama stepped up his efforts Sunday to limit Israel’s gradual destruction of Hamas’ tunnel network in the Shejaiya neighborhood of Gaza, which now conceals many of the rockets and jihadi units that attack Israelis.

In a morning call to Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Obama “reaffirmed Israel’s right to defend itself [but] also raised serious concern about the growing number of casualties, including increasing Palestinian civilian deaths in Gaza and the loss of Israeli soldiers,” said a 2.00 p.m. statement from the White House.

Israel’s government did not officially respond to Obama’s statement, which came after Israel ground units moved into Gaza to find the tunnels. The Gaza area is controlled by Hamas green-waving jihadis, whose mission is to destroy Israel because it is not controlled by Muslims.

The warring parties should comply with the 2012 ceasefire signed by Hamas, Israel and Egypt’s government, said the White House statement.

“Secretary of State John Kerry will soon travel to Cairo to seek an immediate cessation of hostilities based on a return to the November 2012 ceasefire agreement,” the statement said.

Something that President Obama just doesn’t seem to understand about dealing with bullies like Hamas is that they don’t care about peace. These individuals are terrorists bent on the complete destruction of an entire race of people, along with dominating the world and ruling it under the flag of Islam.

Terrorists don’t do negotiations. They only understand power and force, meaning that Israel’s actions are an appropriate response to these vicious radicals. America should be doing as much as possible to support Israel and give them the breathing room they need to take out Hamas. In all honesty, they would be doing the world a favor.
