After putting up with this treachery and backstabbing for eight years, the Israelis are tearing the mask off Obama Inc.
Minister of Environmental Protection Ze’ev Elkin, currently on a private visit to Ukraine which was his childhood home, claimed that Ukraine’s vote in favor of the recent UN resolution calling for a halt to Jewish building in Judea and Samaria was not made of the country’s own volition.
“[The hands] are American hands,” Elkin said, using a Biblical phrase in an interview with Ynet. “It was announced here in Ukraine that the Ukrainians really wanted to abstain, [but US Vice President Joe] Biden personally called the President of Ukraine and pressured the Ukrainians to vote in favor.”
Is there any plausibility to such a charge?
There was an official phone call made from Biden to the Ukrainian president. The official readout is very generic, but that doesn't mean Biden didn't slip a few things in. And considering Biden's ties to Ukraine, he would have been the perfect messenger to put pressure on Ukraine.
No one in the U.S. government has wielded more influence over Ukraine than Vice President Joe Biden. As the Obama administration’s point person on Ukraine policy, he has rallied support for Kiev in the face of Russian military intervention and cultivated a personal rapport with its leaders
Biden's call would mean that this was a major effort, not just something Kerry threw together, across Obama Inc for a very special Chanukah president to the Jewish State.
