Obama: Dividing Israel doesn't make me anti-Israel
Israel Today ^ | 2-25-08 | Staff

Posted on 02/25/2008 10:57:32 AM PST by Anti-Hillary

US presidential hopeful Barrack Obama on Sunday insisted that just because he tends to side with those who advocate dividing the Land of Israel as the most viable path to peace does not mean that he is an enemy of the Jewish state.

Speaking to Jewish leaders in Cleveland, the Illinois senator complained that "there is a strain within the pro-Israel community that says unless you adopt a unwavering pro-Likud approach to Israel that you're anti-Israel."

Israel's opposition Likud Party and its supporters promote minimal or no territorial compromises in the quest for peace with an Arab world that has tried to militarily destroy the Jewish state at least three different times.

But, according to Obama, backing the Jews' biblical, historical and legal claim to all of the land in question "can't be the measure of our friendship with Israel."

Nor can supporting the view that only by defeating its Islamic foes can Israel enjoy any semblence of peace and security, continued the Democratic frontrunner.

As his popularity grows, Mr. Obama has come under scathing attack from supporters of the Jewish state for turning to advisors who have in the past expressed anti-Israel opinions.

Jews who vote as a bloc for the RAT had better wake up. And if you are a Bible believing Christian this is a call to prayer! This man may not be the anti-Christ but he has that spirit!

God have mercy on this country!!!

Obama is out of his liberal mind.

1. I will divide all things equally among all men... Come to me, come to me, a bright light shall shine down on you and you will come out to vote for Obama...

I think Oprah and all the other Multi- Millionaire supporters of Obama need to shut up and put up. If Obama wants fairness he needs to tell everyone that has a net worth over 1 million $ to relinquish all excess to the government so that he can pay for all the social programs for the have nots instead of raising our taxes....

Isn’t that fair?

That's correct. To divide Israel to create a Palestine was tried. And yes they walked away, I think they said they needed more land. If they want a country why doesn't Saudia Arabia or Jordan or Iran give up land to give their fellow Arabs a home.

Maybe we should divide Illinois, say into the State of Chicago and the State of Illinois (the remainder). Makes just about as much sense.

Translation: I would divide Jerusalem and force Jews to leave their homes in Judea and Samaria.

Nor can supporting the view that only by defeating its Islamic foes can Israel enjoy any semblence of peace and security, continued the Democratic frontrunner.

Translation: I would force Israel to give up its nukes, and take away most or all of the weapons the US gives to Israel.

Barack Hussein Obama favors a pro-Palestinian, pro-arab, pro-muslim position that would be against the interests of the nation of Israel ??

Wow, who’da thunk...

Yeah, and just because he does not wear a US flag on his lapel, say the national anthem, or have a family that is not proud to be American, does not mean he is anti-American either. (sarcasm)

dividing the Land of Israel as the most viable path to peace does not mean that he is an enemy of the Jewish state.

And here is how Mohammed wants to divide the Jew:

Sura (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"

Sura (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"

Bukhari (52:177) - Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."

Tabari 7:97 The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared, "Kill any Jew who falls under your power."

The mullahs of the Middle East are happy. They found their savior in the US, B. Hussein Obama. One more Hussein is one too many.

He's correct -- I would actually use it as a barometer to gauge friendship with God Almighty.

His position here pretty much follows in line with the gay friendly, abortion friendly, socialism friendly platform he and the rest of the God-hating, Satan worshipping 'rats embrace.

LOL

And the Jewish community largely backs the Democrats why?

This is one of Hussein's great ideas to get all the sides to the table! To have the world like us more! To regain our moral position! Did I miss any other abstract B.S. he likes to spew in his speeches?

Yes, Hussein, it does make you anti-Israel. But you wont be able to divide Israel once Olmert is overthrown and Netanyahu gets back into office. Barry Hussein Obama will not be able to do much of the left wing agenda he proposes. We need to work hard to get a Republican majority back in Congress in 2010.

You can’t hang out with terrorist supporting, Jew hating radicals and then claim you aren’t ‘actually’ anti-semitic. You wouldn’t hang out with anybody who had Klan connections, would you?

So, why should Jews OR Christians who support the integrity and safety of Israel believe that you are any different than the people who ‘advise’ you? And there are a LOT of Christians who support Israel not being divided up and handed over to the jidhadists and destroying Jerusalem by allowing Hamas to do to Jerasalem what they’ve done to Bethlehem.
