I’ve been warning you since 2008 that Barack Obama was no friend to Israel, yet you liberal Jews continue to support him blindly. Are you the same docile lambs who accepted the wearing of yellow Stars of David on your clothes, or Kristallnacht in 1938 Germany?
Despite the strong words of rebuke from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday, rebuffing Obama’s naiveté, in his dangerous statement that Israel go back to the borders before 1967; liberal Jews have been silent.
Where is the condemnation? The National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC) (where US Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida is an active member), lauded Obama after his speech for “his strong support for Israel and the pragmatic approach he put forth to resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.” The American Jewish Committee (AJC) and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) both chose to accentuate the positive, skirting the contentious issue of borders between Israel and a future Palestine. The ADL called Obama’s speech “compelling,”. Rabbi Aaron Petuchowski, senior rabbi of Temple Sholom of Chicago, commends Obama for his “leadership, his courage, and his willingness to take risks.”
In 2008, Obama won nearly 78 percent of the Jewish vote; just 21 percent went for his Republican rival, John McCain. Jewish voters remain a crucial part of his political base not only in votes but in campaign contributions as well. That’s why Penny Pritzker, was Obama’s 2008 national finance chairwoman and a member of one of the country’s wealthiest Jewish American business families.
Obama’s anti-Israeli views have been apparent for quite some time. Sitting for 20 years in the pews of Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s church and listening to those Jew-hating, America-bashing speeches must have some effect. His friendship with Rashid Khalidi, a terrorism apologist and big Palestinian supporter goes back to 2003.
The Obama’s sat at Khalidi’s table for Rashid’s farewell party before he left Chicago for New York city. “A special tribute came from Khalidi’s friend and frequent dinner companion, the young state Sen. Barack Obama. Speaking to the crowd, Obama reminisced about meals prepared by Khalidi’s wife, Mona, and conversations that had challenged his thinking.”
“His many talks with the Khalidis, Obama said, had been “consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases. . . . It’s for that reason that I’m hoping that, for many years to come, we continue that conversation — a conversation that is necessary not just around Mona and Rashid’s dinner table,” but around “this entire world.”
“Ali Abunimah, a Palestinian rights activist in Chicago, in a Times interview and on his website, said Obama seemed sympathetic to the Palestinian cause but more circumspect as he ran for the U.S. Senate in 2004. At a dinner gathering that year, Abunimah said, Obama greeted him warmly and said privately that he needed to speak cautiously about the Middle East.” (LA Times April 8, 2008)
Since becoming President, Obama has been extremely critical of Israel and then rolls all that back when speaking before AIPAC, even getting standing ovations from this ultra liberal Jewish crowd. What fools.
Obama’s Mid-East team of advisers is full of Jew-hating, Israeli bashing creeps.
Zbigniew Brzezinski in 2009, gave an interview to The Daily Beast in which he suggested President Obama should make it clear to Israel that if they attempt to attack Iran’s nuclear weapons sites the U.S. Air Force will stop them.
Robert Malley, a Middle East expert, quit as an Obama adviser in late 2008, after it emerged that he was talking to Hamas, the militant Palestinian group, as part of his work for the International Crisis Group.
Susan Rice, current ambassador to the U.N., was the foreign policy advisor to the ill-fated John Kerry presidential campaign in 2004, where she concocted the idea of solving the Middle East problem by appointing none other than Jimmy Carter and James Baker as negotiators. Rice has also advocated ending all U.S. military aid to Israel.
Lee Hamilton, has said that the U.S. should develop Syrian “goodwill” by pressuring Israel to surrender the Golan Heights and leave the West Bank. Mr. Hamilton wrote in the New York Times that Hezbollah’s “hatred was created by Israel; it wasn’t there at the beginning.”
Samantha Power, is on Obama’s National Security Council and has advocated ending all U.S. military aid to Israel and written of her willingness to “alienate a domestic constituency of tremendous political and financial import [American Jews] … it may more crucially mean sacrificing … billions of dollars, not in servicing Israel’s military, but actually investing in the state of Palestine.”
I’ve always thought that Barack Obama would be a Jimmy Carter redux, but his speech Thursday on the Mid-East, has reaffirmed my conviction. Obama will keep pushing for Israel to accept a fallback to the pre-1967 borders. He has held this view since early in his campaign for President.
According to a November 2008 article in the London Times, “Barack Obama is to pursue an ambitious peace plan in the Middle East involving the recognition of Israel by the Arab world in exchange for its withdrawal to pre-1967 borders, according to sources close to America’s president-elect. Obama intends to throw his support behind a 2002 Saudi peace initiative endorsed by the Arab League and backed by Tzipi Livni, the Israeli foreign minister and leader of the ruling Kadima party.”
Today, at AIPAC, Barack Obama tried to change the meaning of what he said.
Obama, on Thursday said, “The United States believes that negotiations should result in two states, with permanent Palestinian borders with Israel, Jordan, and Egypt, and permanent Israeli borders with Palestine. The borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states.”
In his speech today, Obama moved the goal posts, “…my reference to the 1967 lines — with mutually agreed swaps — that received the lion’s share of the attention, including just now. And since my position has been misrepresented several times, let me reaffirm what “1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps” means.
By definition, it means that the parties themselves -– Israelis and Palestinians -– will negotiate a border that is different than the one that existed on June 4, 1967. (Applause.) That’s what mutually agreed-upon swaps means. It is a well-known formula to all who have worked on this issue for a generation.”
Can you ever believe what Barack Obama says and what he truly means? The Guardian thinks otherwise, with this headline today, “Obama wants Cameron to back Palestinian state with pre-1967 borders”
“Barack Obama will seek a joint Middle East agreement with David Cameron, insisting that a Palestinian state should be based on pre-1967 borders – a proposal rejected by Israel’s prime minister as “unrealistic” and “indefensible”. The issue will be raised in private talks between the two men during the state visit by Obama and his wife to London.”
I implore all you Hollywood “millionaires and billionaires” to stop supporting Barack Obama and the Democratic party’s campaign funding. You liberals in Chicago, New York, Boston, and San Francisco stop contributing to this Israeli-hater. Liberal Jews of America stop your stupid support of the Democratic Party.
