Obama to Israel: Put Terrorism in Context
The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC)

Obama to Israel: Put Terrorism in Context

Washington, D.C. (July 22, 2008) -- The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) issued the following statement today:

"Senator Obama in Jordan today said that terrorism makes 'Israelis want to dig in and simply think about their own security regardless of what's going on beyond their borders.' What Senator Obama fails to recognize is that the safety and security of its citizenry is the primary obligation of a country's leadership.

In essence, Senator Obama is asking Israelis and the American Jewish community to put terrorism in context. Senator Obama continues his rhetoric of moral equivalence by implying that measures taken by Israel to protect its citizens are on par with the Palestinians' frustration at border checkpoints. Senator Obama's attempt at even-handed diplomacy fails to hold Palestinians accountable for using terrorist tactics against innocent Israeli citizens as a means to achieve their ends."

Yes we are going to get some great comments from the Messiah during his trip to the Middle East. Can't wait to hear and read his comments when he visit's the West Bank.

Hey, if an obligation to provide for the common defense were so important, our own Constitution would say something about that — right up front!

Senator Obama,

You are talking to a people who had 6 million+ murdered for the sake of racial purity, and are living surrounded on 3 sides by people who have vowed to exterminate all of the Jews.

You are in no position to lecture Israel on how to look at terrorism.

'Israelis want to dig in and simply think about their own security regardless of what's going on beyond their borders

True, they hardly give the palestinians a fair chance to kill Jewish children.

It's really not fair.

Aye me. As if they’re supposed to not engage in self defense. This guy is making serious enemies. People who do not take kindly to being lectured.

Posted to another thread yesterday, but fits here as well:

“I expect this sort of thing out of Obama anymore. If he didn’t do arrogant, self centered, egotistical, downright stupid at least once a day, I’d think I was missing something.”

The only thing the Obamessiah is capable of is lecturing. Of course people don’t take it well; let’s expect many many more will be outraged at Obambi’s continuing “audacity.”

So the Jews should consider the “context” of defending themselves versus the preservation of their country?

This sounds an awful lot like what the Europeans were telling Czechoslovakia prior to Munich in 1938 - the Czechs should consider the well-being of Europe instead of being so stubborn about retaining the Sudetenland. Just give Hitler what he wants and we will have peace.

In the U.S. he can get away with his stupidity because the media, the RNC, McCain and the Messiah followers don’t call him on it.

The Israeli’s and the Israeli Press will bring it into the open and pounce on anything he says against them.

The next couple of days will be fun as the Israeli’s do John McCain’s work for him....

“Senator Obama in Jordan today said that terrorism makes ‘Israelis want to dig in and simply think about their own security regardless of what’s going on beyond their borders.’”

So before they decide to try to protect the Isreali citizens while doing things like eating a pizza place, or getting a cup of coffee, or riding the bus to work, they must sit back and look at what is going on beyond their borders?

That answers Obama’s position on another 09/11. Before taking the people to task who do this terrible deed, we must look at the rest of the world who could give a crap about us.

I wish he didn’t speak so “intellectually” because to be honest, most of his voting base can’t understand a damn word he says. He just “sounds smart”.

I keep having nightmares about Obama stepping way out of line and causing long term diplomatic damage. Obama thinks that by lecturing governments he’s going to end up controlling how things are done.

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about China and how they might react to other countries who try to influence their domestic and international policy. They have a history of being colonized and bullied by foreign powers and I wonder if at some point they might get pushed too far and end up attacking the country whose leader dared to tell them about how things should be done.

My dear Obambi,

Kindly stick your ‘context’ where the sun won’t shine!!

For such an arrogant, naive, ignorant friend of terrorists you sure do presume a lot when you want to lecture Israelis on how to live amidst the countless millions who want to exterminate them.

He has too many who believe this stuff giving him advice but even without it he has surrounded himself with this thinking at church and with his chosen group of friends. Slowly his REAL beliefs are coming out for all to see.
