President Barack Obama always gets what he wants. He circumvents the Constitution, and circumvents Congress, to do it, but he always gets what he wants in the end. I am sure it is frustrating to him that the Republicans refuse to be a rubber stamp for Obama's foreign anti-American policies. But, despite the "obstructionists," as he likes to call them, in Congress, Obama has succeeded in federalizing a number of issues, creating racial divide, and knocking America down a few notches on the world stage.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not as easy to bully, as are the cowardly congressional Republicans. Netanyahu is standing firm on his positions, and recognizes the dangers posed by his Islamic neighbors, and Obama's liberal left calls for appeasement. The Iran deal that Obama, and fellow international leftists, are trying to negotiate is a dangerous one, and Netanyahu has called it that from the start. So, what does Obama do when those around him won't play ball? He does as he's done with Congress, and the Constitution. He circumvents them. The two-state solution, as it is called, involves Israel giving up some of her territory to the Palestinians, so that they may have a country of their own. However, that will not create peace. Palestinians are not a people without a nation. They are refugees, they claim, seeking to return to their home, but in reality they are Jordanian and Crete rejects. They are Islamists intent on creating more havoc against Israel. Their solution is no Israel, and Netanyahu knows it. Netanyahu's attitude is unacceptable to people like Obama, so, the American President is working with the United Nations to circumvent Netanyahu, and the safety of Israel, intent on forcing the two-state solution upon the tiny Jewish State.

Liberal left believes that the unrest in the Middle East is all Israel's fault.

Historically, the United States has always stood with Israel, and has rejected the United Nations idea of the two-state solution. Under Obama, the United States is ready to work with the U.N. to pressure Israel into accepting the resolution. This is why the White House was pumping money into Isaac Herzog's campaign against Netanyahu. They believed Herzog would be more likely to accept the terms of a two-state solution. Netanyahu is adamantly opposed to giving concessions to the Palestinians, and he's continuing to surround himself with people in the Israeli government that think the same way. The prime minister has continuously rejected giving global organizations like the United Nations any control over the future of Israel, considering such a role intrusive, and recognizing that these global bodies fail to recognize that this is not just a matter of peace talks, but what is at hand is the very survival of Israel. The international community -- through the United Nations -- has decided that Netanyahu's refusal to cooperate cannot be tolerated. They plan to give Israel a deal they can't refuse. Agree to the two-state solution, or suffer the alternative; the alternative being that the new world of a two-state solution will be forced upon Israel, regardless of any of the Jewish State's security concerns. Remember, the liberal left believes that the unrest in the Middle East is all Israel's fault. The political elitists believe they know what is best, and they are willing to force their will upon individuals in their own countries, and over nations like Israel on the global scale. They believe they are above everyone else, and only they know what is best. How could Israel, surrounded by an enemy intent on their destruction, know what's best for their own security? If a two-state solution is put into place, forcing Israel to lose the buffer zones of Gaza, the West Bank, and the Golan Heights, invasion against Israel is likely. If Jordan falls, as well, the last of the neighbors of Israel whose leadership is not intent of the destruction of Israel (Note that King Abdullah's stance against ISIS is in conflict with 70% of the population of Jordan who supports ISIS, and supports Israel's destruction), invasion of Israel by the tiny nation's Islamic neighbors is inevitable. A two-state solution will also likely include provisions demanding that Israel give up part of Jerusalem. A few years ago Obama already applied pressure on Israel about building Jewish settlements near East Jerusalem. Islamic leaders call the construction activity “illegal settlement-building in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.” The reality of what will happen if a two-state solution is imposed on Israel was played out already when Israel retreated from Gaza. Immediately, Gaza fell into pro-terrorist hands, and immediately Gaza began to shell Israel with continuous attacks. And then, when that happened, the worldwide community accused Israel for being the aggressor. From Tel Aviv to Turtle Bay: The White House hoped a new Israeli prime minister would resume peace talks with the Palestinians. With Netanyahu holding on, the administration is weighing a turn to the U.N. to help force a deal. - Foreign Policy.
