Obama’s Signal to Israel: Submit
National Review ^ | May 12, 2009 | Mona Charen

Posted on 05/12/2009 6:12:50 AM PDT by reaganaut1

In early April, Vice President Biden was asked if the administration was concerned that Israel might strike at Iran’s nuclear facilities. “I don’t believe Prime Minister Netanyahu would do that,” Mr. Biden replied. “I think he would be ill-advised to do that.”

A few weeks later, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton explained the administration’s solution to the threat of an Iranian bomb: “For Israel to get the kind of strong support it’s looking for vis-à-vis Iran it can’t stay on the sideline with respect to the Palestinians and the peace efforts . . . they go hand-in-hand.”

And on May 10, National Security Advisor James Jones spelled it out further. “We understand Israel’s preoccupation with Iran as an existential threat. We agree with that. . . . By the same token, there are a lot of things that you can do to diminish that existential threat by working hard towards achieving a two-state solution.”

By what reasoning has the administration decided that pushing Israel to permit a new Palestinian state would — in any way — diminish the threat from Iran? Do they believe that Iran’s (or, I should say, the Iranian leadership’s) genocidal hostility toward Israel is the result of lack of progress toward an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza? Will the Iranian leadership, which has characterized Israel as a “cancerous tumor,” declared that “Israel must we wiped off the map,” and promised that “Israel is destined for destruction and will soon disappear,” change its mind if Israel enters into negotiations with the Palestinians?

“Obama will be a great friend to Israel.” So said a Jewish Democrat in a pre-election debate with me.

We have mental midgets running the country.

It's like a real life version of the film "Idiocracy".

Idiocracy was art imitating life.

There is something very strange going on in the US right now. I have never seen anything like this, and I lived through the 60's.

1. Obama has created a cult of personality evocative of those surrounding dictators like Peron, Hitler, Stalin, and Il Duce.

2. There is, seemingly, no firearms ammunition to be found.

3. Down is up and up is down in foreign affairs. Obama is literally p*ssing on America's natural allies. To wit, the other English speaking democracies, the UK, Canada, and Australia.

4. Another long term strategic ally, and the only democracy in the mid-east is literally being abandoned while Obama tries to get friendly with the zealots who run Iran. To what purpose?

5. The markets and the economy have not been in this much turmoil since the 1930's. Obama's policies are setting up a massive inflation or the possible bankruptcy of the USA.

6. All the wrong moves are being made vis a vis foreign hotspots: Iran, Iraq, North Korea, pirates in Somolia.

None of this is good.

Only a fool believes that. The only thing that will satisfy Israels enemies is the destruction of Israel, as their enemies have made clear for decades. There is no linkage between Iran's behavior and what Israel does or does not do re: the Palestinians. Iran has been calling for Israel's destruction since Carter helped Khomeini return to Iran in the late 1970s.

Talk about delusional. I still can't imagine what would have impelled anybody to think anything remotely like this.

The Jews and the Catholics who voted for this man, this avowed enemy and destroyer of their respective faiths, have a serious piece of self-examination work to do. Not that will do the them or the rest of us much good. The damage is done. There was no mystery at all about what 0bama stood for, none. I hope we have something resembling our Constitutionally-based Republic left after he and his goons are done. I know I’m not making any big revelation saying I have serious doubts in that department.

So what’s the message here? Allow the creation of a Palestinian state or we will allow Iran to obliterate you?

This does not make any sense to me.

Here’s what I think is going on (from Romans 1):

18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
21For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.

27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

28Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.

29They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips,

30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;

31they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless.

32Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

It's the "D" next to Obama's name. There are way too many Jews who are addicted to supporting 'Rat candidates, so they try to rationalize what is otherwise irrational, just as other types of addicts do. This addiction holds more for Jewish women than Jewish men, although both sexes are afflicted.
