Reports: Anti-Israel UN Resolution vote TODAY after one-day delay


Trump is the hero by getting Egypt to postpone a UN Security Council vote on Jerusalem and Jewish Settlements in Judea-Samaria which is Israel's heritage.

Could Trump come to Israel’s rescue again with some strong worded verbiage making it clear what he will do when his Administration begins on January 20?

Reports: Anti-Israel UN Resolution vote TODAY after one-day delay

December 23, 2016 at 10:50am

New Zealand, Malaysia, Venezuela and Senegal call vote after Egypt backed off.

We reported yesterday how Egypt decided to pull an anti-Israel resolution, after intervention of Donald Trump. The Obama administration reportedly was ready to abstain and not veto the resolution.

We also noted that other countries had threatened to bring the Resolution to a vote if Egypt didn’t.

Haaretz reports that the vote is back on and will take place at 3 p.m. today:

The UN Security Council is expected to vote on Friday on a resolution demanding an end to Israeli settlements.

The vote is to take place at 3 P.M. EST (10 P.M. Israel time).

The decision was made following a meeting at the UN headquarters in New York between the envoys of New Zealand, Malaysia, Venezuela and Senegal. The four states were signed on the resolution that Egypt had submitted before ultimately asking to postpone the vote on Thursday due to Israeli pressure.

The four states told Egypt on Thursday that if it did not clarify whether it planned to call a vote on the draft resolution, then they reserved the right to move ahead with the vote. 

Reuters also reports the vote will take place today.

The Resolution in question is pernicious. It declares any Israeli presence beyond the 1949 armistice line (the so-called pre-1967 line) illegal. That means Israeli control of the Jewish Quarter of the Old City would be illegal, as would the presence of Jews in the Jewish Quarter, which Jordan had ethnically cleansed of Jews and ransacked. It also would mean Israeli control of the Western Wall would be illegal.

If Obama abstains, he will have allowed the UN to strip Jews of their history.

If this happens, we’ll know for sure whether the legacy of the Obama administration will be the abandonment of Israel.

Let YOUR Senator Know the Muslim Brotherhood is a Terrorist Organization



John R. Houk
© February 29, 2016

ACT for America sent out an email urging voters to support Senate Bill 2230 which if passed and - GOD HELP US - President Barack Hussein Obama signs into law will force the State Department to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. Since a lot of this designation has a lot to do with cutting off funds flowing from the USA to the Muslim Brotherhood, this would affect the many Muslim Brotherhood front groups on American soil. These front groups are actually quite numerous and pretend to be representatives of Moderate non-violent Muslims seeking to ensure the same Constitutional rights that all Americans have been afforded. The problem: These front groups are a pack of liars that either outright support the Muslim Brotherhood or use stealth to hide their support.

Before I share that very important email, read these various excerpts below that indeed demonstrate the evil and violent nature of the Muslim Brotherhood so you can make an informed decision to place your name on the ACT for America form letter that will go out to the correct Senators representing your State. (In case you need no further education on listing the MB as a terrorist organization, just skip to the signature link provided by ACT for America.)

On November 3rd Sen. Cruz (R-Texas) filed (S. 2230) and Rep. Diaz-Balart (R-Florida) filed (H.R.3892) both bills titled "Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2015". These bills will require the Secretary of State to submit a report to Congress on the designation of the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization, and for other purposes. (Here is Cruz's bill S. 2230 the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act; Submitted by Frank Livingston; Investigation Project on Terrorism; 11/21/15 15:36)

++
WASHINGTON (CN) - The House Judiciary Committee is calling on the U.S. State Department to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, while some say the effort is misguided.
    
The legislation, introduced and sponsored by presidential candidate and Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, would bar anyone with ties to the group from entering the United States.
    
The bill would also subject those who provide material support to the group to federal criminal penalties, and would force financial institutions to block all transactions involving the group's assets, according to a committee statement.
    
"The Muslim Brotherhood's embrace of terrorism and the very real threat it poses to American lives and the national security of the United States make it long overdue for designation," Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., said.
    
The committee approved the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act by a vote of 17-10 on Wednesday. … (Cruz Bill Takes Aim at Muslim Brotherhood; By  BRITAIN EAKIN; Courthouse News Service; 2/26/16 Last Update: 8:22 AM PT)

Very typical of the Left Wing Media the above article makes sure to include this bit of misinformation:

The bill has drawn some criticism from Middle East experts who say the bill ignores historical context and the evolution of the group's ideologies.
    
"They have disavowed violence for some time now, finding it counter-productive and also counter to Islam," said Musa al-Gharbi, managing editor at the Southwest Initiative for the Study of Middle East Conflicts, a program based at the University of Arizona.
    
The text of the bill builds a case for the terror designation based on the group's early ideologies espoused by its founder, Hassan al-Banna, which it says embrace violent jihad and promote terrorism. (Ibid.)

The author of the news article failed to do her homework or knowingly participated in Muslim Apologist lies about the radical violent nature of the Muslim Brotherhood. Quoting Musa al-Gharbi about the MB disavowing violence was pure propaganda at the time of the so-called disavowment and totally irrelevant since the Egyptian military took over the government ousting Muslim Brotherhood President Mohamed Morsi. The coup government then proceeded to illegalize and proclaim the MB a terrorist organization. Since that time the MB has been very openly committing acts of terrorism against the Egyptian military, tourists and of course Jews.

This July 10, 2015 article shows the terrorism of the Muslim Brotherhood totally exposing the Musa al-Gharbi assertion that the MB has renounced violence as an outright LIE:

Egypt, on the forefront in fighting terrorism, remains committed to eradicating Islamist extremism. “There is a global campaign of terrorism, and the only way to confront it is through a comprehensive global response that deals with the entirety of the threat,” the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in a statement this week following a wave of attacks on government targets.

On Thursday, a roadside bomb detonated wounding 20 Egyptian policemen in North Sinai’s provincial capital of El-Arish. The policemen were traveling on a bus on leave in the volatile area. Three of the wounded were in critical condition, reported AFP. Also on Thursday, an Egyptian police detective was shot dead outside his home in the governorate of Beni Suef by unknown attackers. He was shot in the neck and chest, according to the Health Ministry in the province.

Egypt has been facing a wave of terrorists attacks launched by the Muslim Brotherhood after the removal of Morsi. The Foreign Ministry held a press conference over the weekend to discuss with the press the latest attacks in the Sinai. In a memo provided at the conference, the Foreign Ministry wrote:

At the core of this terrorist scourge is the toxic ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood, which continues to spread hate and fear across the globe. In Egypt today we still witness the negative effect of the political inspired by Sayd Qutb, the godfather of the Muslim Brotherhood and his followers who championed violence manifested in their foiled assassination of president Gamal Abdel Nasser in 1954. His anti-western, anti-Semitic and anti-secularist school of thought continues today to serve as a manifesto for radical groups such as Al-Qaeda and Daesh.


So it is quite clear the Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization! That Islamic organization is NOT an emblem for peace but rather is a committed Western-hating and Jew-hating organization devoted to establishing a global Caliphate in which non-Muslims must convert to Islam or if lucky in their view submit as sub-class human beings living under the despotism of Islamic Supremacism.

AND YET America’s most Leftist President Barack Hussein Obama resists naming the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization. AND Obama refuses to acknowledge that MB affiliates in the USA pay stealth homage to the MB. Here is another excerpt dated from today that demonstrates Obama treason to American National Security and the protection of American lives:

On Nov. 15th, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) placed 2 Islamic groups on its list of foreign terrorist organizations, naming them as front groups for the Muslim Brotherhood: the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), and the Muslim American Society,(MAS).

On Dec. 22nd, Obama administration officials met with leaders of both these terrorist organizations to work together and strategize a counter effort on the decision by the UAE.

But Obama isn’t only defying the UAE with this pro-terrorist effort, he’s also defying the FBI and Dept. Of Justice prosecutors as well.

The FBI cut ties with CAIR after identifying them “not an appropriate liaison partner” after discovering their ties to Hamas, which the U.S. classifies as a terrorist organization.

Prosecutors in the DOJ implicated CAIR as conspiring to fundraise for Hamas in the Holy Land Foundation court case, which was the biggest terrorism financing trial in U.S. history.

Right out in plain daylight, Obama is working hard to forward the efforts of the Muslim Brotherhood and it’s [sic] affiliated terrorist organizations. Meanwhile, conservative Americans are being labelled as ‘domestic terrorists’. America has indeed been infiltrated and is being run by a weaker enemy…radical Islamic jihadists.

The FBI severed contacts with CAIR in 2009 as “not an appropriate liaison partner” for the bureau because of evidence linking the group and its founders to Hamas, which the U.S. lists as a terrorist organization.

Hamas runs Gaza and was founded as an offshoot of the jihadist organization the Muslim Brotherhood, based in Egypt.


Several CAIR staffers have been convicted on terrorism-related charges and CAIR founder Omar Ahmad allegedly told a group of Muslims they are in America not to assimilate but to help assert Islam’s rule over the country.

Nonetheless, on Monday, State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke said, “The United States does not consider these U.S. organizations (CAIR and MAS) to be terrorist organizations” and had asked the UAE for more information on the decision.

When a reporter noted the head of CAIR has been a White House guest and frequently visits the State Department, Rathke claimed CAIR was just one of many “faith-based groups” which had met with U.S. government officials.


“CAIR is a front group for the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States, as is the Muslim Student Association, and they try to present a storefront view of moderate, mainstream Muslim thought when, in fact, they are just the opposite.”


…  CAIR is cited several times in the text of the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act as a Brotherhood-controlled entity.

“They (CAIR) tend to be the mask covering up violent jihad across the globe. They pretend to be the mouthpiece of moderation when, in fact, they are anything but,” said Bachmann.

For its part, CAIR described its terrorist designation by the UAE as “shocking and bizarre.”

Indeed, why would the UAE do such a thing when its own ambassador has praised CAIR in the past and the country has allowed the group to raise funds there?



Resist the Obama Islamification of America. Read the ACT for America email below that provides a link to send your Senator from your State to get on board with the Senate version of S.2230 - Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2015 - which has passed the House and is now waiting for the Senate to join.

ACT for America Action Alert

Last week, the House Judiciary Committee passed a bill that calls on the State Department to classify the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group.  The bill, H.R. 3892, the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act, introduced by Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (FL-25), was voted out of committee by a 17-10 party-line vote.  We expect it to be brought before the full House for a vote.
Specifically, H.R. 3892 states that it is the “sense of Congress that the Muslim Brotherhood meets the criteria for classification as a foreign terrorist organization.”  As Amended by the House Committee, Secretary of State John Kerry would have 60 days to issue a detailed report to Congress indicating whether the Brotherhood meets the criteria qualifying it as a terrorist group. The Senate's version of the bill is S. 2230 and the details about the legislation can be found HERE.
This bill is a very important one.  Once signed into law, it would be a crime for anyone in the U.S. to provide material support to the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Treasury Department could force banks to block financial transactions related to the Brotherhood.  The bill lists U.S. groups that include the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT) as groups under the control of the Muslim Brotherhood.
We thank the House of Representatives for its leadership on this issue.  It is now time for the Senate to act.  That chamber's companion bill, S. 2230, the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2015 has been introduced by Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX).  At this time, it has only two cosponsors, Senators Orrin Hatch (R-UT), and Ron Johnson (R-WI).  
We need members of the U.S. Senate to hear from you.  Please tell them to demonstrate the leadership that we’ve seen in the House by acting quickly on this bill.  
Please click here to send a letter or make a phone call to your U.S. Senator in support of this bill. We know you are busy, so we’ve done all of the work for you. All you have to do is add your individual information and your voice will go directly to your two U.S. Senators. [If you have Senator Hatch or Johnson as your representative, please be sure to add a quick "thank you" for co-sponsoring the legislation.]  
Thank you for ALL that you do for our great nation.  If each of us does just a little, together we can accomplish a lot.

Sincerely,

Brigitte Gabriel

Egyptian Government Fighting True Islam While Obama…

`BHO Anti-American Pro-Muslim Creed

WordPress.com friend futuret left a comment on the post “JEWS, NETANYAHU, FRANCE, ISLAM AND THE AGENDA” on my NCCR blog. Actually the comment was simply in a form of a link. The link was to an article by Ben Barrack who writes for Shoebat.com.

Barrack’s article is roughly about President Abdel Fatah el-Sisi of Egypt having an issue with the Foreign Policy/Diplomacy of President Barack Hussein Obama’s support for Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood and Islamists in general.

I don’t know about you but I am fascinated an Egyptian Muslim ruler who is critical of the Muslim Brotherhood and those that take part in that kind of Salafist Islam While Obama is helpful toward that ilk. This relatively behind the scenes tug-of-war between two heads of state makes the optics of Obama not showing up for the Kumbaya moment with the primarily multiculturalist Left oriented heads of state marching in (cough) unity against terrorism but not the religion that breeds terrorism.

So thanks futuret.

Egyptian Government Fighting True Islam While Obama And His Muslim Family Supporting And Advancing True Islam

January 14, 2015

Political battle lines between the Egyptian government led by el-Sisi and the Barack Obama administration, which leads the U.S., have been drawn. A major salvo was fired on January 1st, when Egyptian president, Gen. Abdel Fatah el-Sisi admonished Islamic scholars at al-Azhar University. As Shoebat.com reported, this was a brazen statement against Barack Obama himself, who nearly six years earlier launched his pro-Muslim Brotherhood / pro-Arab Spring agenda in a speech at that very same university.

In many ways, what el-Sisi did to Obama from a podium at al-Azhar was the political equivalent of what he did by leading the overthrow of Mohammed Mursi in 2013. It was also a speech that created pro-Obama and pro-Sisi camps by providing a stark contrast to the Obama ideology that western leaders like Cameron of the UK, Hollande of France and Merkel of Germany have not.

 Barack Obama, Malik Obama & Abdel Fatah el-Sisi

Days later, on January 7th, it was events that provided even more contrast as Muslim terrorists in Paris murdered people in cold blood for their speech. Western leaders send muddled messages instead of clear ones. The best example can be seen in the much ballyhooed Paris march on January 11th that included Cameron, Hollande and Merkel showing solidarity with Mahmoud Abbas and Turkey’s Ahmet Davutoglu.

Normally reliable conservative Newt Gingrich attempted to put his finger on the problem by going after Obama for not attending the Paris rally. Gingrich concluded Obama is either cowardly or crazy. Neither is correct; Obama is pro-Muslim Brotherhood because his family is part of the organization and Egyptians are the only ones who have been so vocal about this; they also have the proof.

 Paris Rally- Hollande, Merkel, Abbas and Davutoglu

As Shoebat.com reported, western leaders were standing with terrorist-supporting leaders like Turkey’s Davutoglu. Conversely, when it comes to el-Sisi, the Egyptian leader is quite forcefully taking out terrorists. Many of the Muslim Brotherhood leaders who’ve escaped Egypt have found safe haven in Davutoglu’s Turkey.

The Obama administration has been playing nice with the el-Sisi regime for more than a year despite having significant problems with the Egyptian leader. This is reflected in the appointment of R. Stephen Beecroft as the U.S. Ambassador to Egypt; this was not Obama’s first choice. The man expected to replace the clearly Muslim Brotherhood-friendly Anne Patterson was Robert Ford, the former U.S. Ambassador to Syria.

U.S. Ambassador to Egypt R. Stephen Beecroft

As Shoebat.com has reported previously, Ford’s allegiances are disconcerting as he has supported Islamist rebels in Syria with clear allegiances to the Brotherhood. He clearly did not pass the smell test with the el-Sisi government and was rejected as a suitable ambassador not by Obama but by Egypt. Again, this was a clear rejection of the Muslim Brotherhood, not just the U.S. and again, muddled messages continue to be sent from American politicians in Congress who bizarrely support Syria’s rebels.

 Robert Ford- Supported Muslim Brotherhood in Syria

Last February, Reuters reported on some ‘inside baseball’ about why Ford is not now the U.S. Ambassador to Egypt:

Ford had been expected to become U.S. ambassador to Egypt, according to several sources, but Egyptian government officials had objected because they regarded him as too close to Islamist parties in the Middle East.

A former State Department official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said it was his understanding that the Egyptian government had made clear it did not want Ford to go to Cairo to serve as U.S. ambassador.

Under diplomatic practice known as “agrement (sic),” a country typically contacts another country before sending an ambassador to ensure the choice is acceptable. In this case, Ford’s candidacy did not even get that far, said the former U.S. official, who has spoken to Egyptian officials about the matter.

One week prior to that report by Reuters that Ford would be unacceptable, Shoebat.com first revealed the disturbing allegiances of Barack Obama’s brother Malik Obama. A photo from Malik’s own website showed him in Sana’a, Yemen wearing a Hamas scarf that called for the eradication of Israel. The point of bringing this up is not to show or claim any cause and effect relationship.

 Malik Obama, Mama Sarah Obama, Musa Ismail Obama, and Sayed Obama

The point is to show the leverage against the Obama administration that el-Sisi has been amassing since Malik’s involvement with the Muslim Brotherhood was first revealed by Shoebat.com shortly after the IRS scandal broke. Again, however, U.S. politicians send muddled messages by not seizing upon the Malik Obama scandal while both houses of the U.S. Congress voted to back Muslim Brotherhood rebels in Syria.

After the overthrow of Mursi, the case of Malik Obama quickly caught the attention of the leaders in Egypt who filled the vacuum.

The first salvo fired against Obama came from the former Chancellor of the Constitutional Court of Egypt, Tahani el-Jebali in August of 2013, a highly respected and prominent voice. As Shoebat.com reported at the time, Jebali stated she would like…

“…to inform the American people that their president’s brother Obama is one of the architects of the major investments of the international organization of the Muslim Brotherhood.”

As Shoebat.com would later reveal, there was most definitely a money trail that included Malik’s dealings. More damaging was the fact that terrorist dealings didn’t just include Malik; they included other Obama family members as well.

Al-Jebali- Egyptian official 

El-Jebali [Blog Editor: the more numerous spelling Tahani al-Gebali] added…

“We will carry out the law and the Americans will not stop us. We need to open the files and begin court sessions. The Obama administration cannot stop us; they know that they supported terrorism. We will open the files so these nations are exposed, to show how they collaborated with them [the terrorists]. It is for this reason why the American administration fights us.

Soon thereafter, a complaint was filed with the office of Egypt’s Prosecutor General, Hisham Barakat, as Shoebat.com reported. Complaint No. 1761 / 2013 actually made it onto Barakat’s radar, a very explosive development indeed. The complaint mentioned el-Jebali’s claims, which provided additional credibility.

 Hisham Barakat

In the many months that have transpired since, the case against Malik has only gotten stronger; much stronger. The repository of articles can be found here. The evidence in that case has no doubt been piling up in a drawer somewhere in an office of the el-Sisi government as well.

A reliable source has revealed that Malik was the middleman who introduced Muslim Brotherhood leader Khairat el-Shater to the Obama administration. In April of 2012, as a Muslim Brotherhood delegation was visiting the White House and doing a media tour, el-Shater’s decision to run for President of Egypt was announced. He was subsequently disqualified because of his rap sheet and prison sentences. Mursi took his place but as the Brotherhood’s Deputy Supreme Guide, el-Shater had a tremendous amount of power within the Brotherhood government.

This information would help to explain why Republican Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham traveled to Egypt to call for the release of Brotherhood leaders, including Mursi and el-Shater. They did so as emissaries for Barack Obama. In addition to their bizarre mission, the Senators appeared panicked.



On the eve of their trip, then Secretary of State Bill Burns secretly met for 90 minutes with the jailed el-Shater on a Sunday night, hours before McCain and Graham landed in Cairo for a conversely high-profile visit. El-Shater’s chief of staff – Gehad el-Haddad – at first tried to deny the meeting between his boss and Burns took place and then attempted to say it only lasted ten minutes.

El-Haddad, who worked for five years as an employee of the Clinton Foundation, was soon thereafter jailed as well. In addition to Huma Abedin’s ties to the Muslim Sisterhood, the jailed el-Haddad provides el-Sisi with leverage on someone else – Hillary Clinton.

Barack Obama and el-Sisi best represent the world’s two most polar opposite views today and it is el-Sisi who has the biggest advantage – and more people flocking to his worldview, which is not muddled at all.

Biography Of Walid Shoebat

For the record, my name is Walid Shoebat. I used to be a radicalized Muslim willing to die for the cause of Jihad until I converted to Christianity in 1994. As a member of the PLO I was involved in terror activity, and was imprisoned in Jerusalem for three weeks. In prison, I was recruited to plant a bomb in Bethlehem as a result of which, thank God, no one was injured. My mother was an American and my father a Palestinian Arab. My parents sent me in 1978 to the United States to study at Loop College in Chicago Illinois. There I was recruited at a hotel “Terror Conference” by Jamal Said, a founder of the IAP (Islamic Association of Palestine) and Imam at one of the largest mosques in Chicago. The IAP was a forerunner to today’s Hamas terror organization and also to the terror front group CAIR (Council for American Islamic relations). This was in the early 1980s when I was being trained for Jihad activities in the USA along with many other young foreigners as well as US citizens. The Imams were the prime recruiters for terrorism then as they are still today and terror conferences are held all over the USA to READ THE REST
