UNDER THE RADAR: The Hill: US helps advance UN arms treaty. “The U.S. Mission to the United Nations helped move a controversial arms trade treaty on Wednesday, less than 24 hours after President Obama won reelection.” After the election, he has more flexibility.

Thank you for all the work you do on your site. I wanted to make a point regarding the UN Arms treaty that Obama is now pursuing again.

Remember, in the parlance of the UN, Human Rights means “anti-Israel”. Is this the start of Obama’s method to stop arms support to the Jewish State?

“Brian Wood of Amnesty International said: “After today’s resounding vote, if the larger arms trading countries show real political will in the negotiations, we’re only months away from securing a new global deal that has the potential to stop weapons reaching those who seriously abuse human rights.”

The treaty would require states to make respecting human rights a criterion for allowing arms exports.”

It seems that as a Jewish person, all of my fears for the future have a way of coming true lately. FLEXIBILITY? How about betrayal? But then I take a step back and remember that my liberal friends and family have reminded me that he’s Israel’s greatest friend. I guess there’s nothing to worry about.

If you mention this, feel free to use my name.

My question is, can we get a UN investigation of Fast & Furious?
