Obama Drives a Nail into the Coffin of our International Legal Order

Cartoon and Scripture quote below from HopeNChangeCartoons

“I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”  - Genesis 12:1-3

Jordan Blashek . . . "Eight years of Obama’s foreign policy have left the world on fire.  Now, with his final foray into geopolitics, he has attacked the last remaining vestiges of a rules-based order.

"For a president who prides himself on the long-game, this was an incredibly short-sighted and selfish move." . . .

Now, President Obama has used the Security Council to punish Israel, despite the protests of the incoming president and both parties in Congress.  Never before has a lame-duck president attempted to tie the hands of his successor in such a dramatic fashion.

. . . " Now, with this act, President Obama has driven a knife into the heart of the international legal order by poisoning the well for the incoming Trump Administration.  This is a tragedy for the U.S., for Israel, and most importantly, for people all over the world longing for liberty and security.     

"It’s deeply ironic that a man who came into office so committed to the integrity of international law has now caused its downfall."
