A Green Light to Invade Israel?
American Thinker ^ | July 31, 2009 | Lauri Regan

Posted on 07/31/2009 8:44:55 PM PDT by Ooh-Ah

The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that the Obama administration is supporting the implementation of a United Nations doctrine that would approve military action in order to prevent genocide. While not legally required to act, the countries supporting the doctrine (including the U.S., China, and Russia) have all expressed the political will to act in the case of genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, or crimes against humanity.

While sounding well intentioned, I fear that the Obama administration and every Israel-hating member of the United Nations will use this doctrine as a weapon against Israel.

Prior to Obama’s election, many concerned about his stance on matters relating to Israel looked to an interview given by his chief foreign policy adviser at the time, Samantha Power, in which she stated that a military invasion of Israel may be necessary in order to create a Palestinian state and prevent genocide. Ms. Power, who is now the director of multilateral affairs at the National Security Council, stated:



“In the Palestine [sic] and Israeli situation, there’s an abundance of information and what we don’t need is some kind of early warning mechanism. What we need is a willingness to actually put something on the line and sort of helping the situation. And putting something on the line might mean alienating a domestic constituency of tremendous political and financial import. It may more crucially mean sacrificing or investing, I think, more than sacrificing, literally billions of dollars not in servicing Israeli’s [sic] military but actually investing in the new state of Palestine. In investing billions of dollars it will probably take also to support, I think, what will have to be a mammoth protection force…a meaningful military presence because it seems to me at this stage and this is true of actual genocides as well and not just major human rights abuses which we’re seeing there, but is that you have to go in as if you’re serious. You have to put something on the line and unfortunately imposition of a solution on unwilling parties…Unfortunately, it does require external intervention…”


So here we have a high ranking member of the Obama administration who believes that “major human rights abuses” are occurring in Israel and that in order to correct that situation, military aid to Israel should cease. Instead, this high ranking government official is advising the President that US taxpayer dollars should be used to invest in “Palestine” and to sustain a military presence in Israel in order to impose her ideology on a US ally.
 
Furthermore, the U.S. is now on board with a UN doctrine that would support military intervention in order to prevent human rights abuses. This is a doctrine that would be enforced by an anti-Semitic international peace-keeping organization that has passed innumerable resolutions condemning Israel yet ignored human rights violations the world over (not to mention the human rights violators that sit on the Security Council and Human Rights Council that will be making these determinations).

The question that I have is how far will Obama take his destructive Mideast policies? Will he use this doctrine as a hat on which to pin a “final solution” to the Mideast conflict?

Goodness! This could set up that invasion set forth in Ezekiel. Then the WHOLE WORLD gets to see the power of God protecting Israel!

I knew the obamanation hates Israel and loves socialism/communism/maxcism. So why would he not want to be a part of the take-over of Israel and try to bring them to their knees the way he is trying to do in America?

I only hope this opens the eyes of the people who have been blind to his motives.. He learned the doctrine of Saul Alinsky, and a personal observation was make here and it says quite a bit about the obmanation in action:


Alinsky wrote, “Rules for Radicals,” a book he dedicated to Lucifer, whom he called the “first radical’” For Alinsky, “Change” was his mantra. By “Change,” Alinsky meant a quiet, Marxist revolution achieved by slow, incremental, Machiavellian means that turned society inside out. This had to be done through systematic deception, winning the trust of the naively idealistic middle class, and by using the language of morality to conceal an agenda designed to destroy it. And the way to do this, he said, was through “people’s organizations’”

One of Obama’s early mentors in the Alinsky method was Mike Kruglik, who had this to say to an interviewer of The New Republic, about Obama:

“He was a natural, the undisputed master of agitation, who could engage a room full of recruiting targets in a rapid-fire Socratic dialogue, nudging them to admit that they were not living up to their own standards. As with the panhandler, he could be aggressive and confrontational. With probing, sometimes personal questions, he would pinpoint the source of pain in their lives, tearing down their egos just enough before dangling a carrot of hope that they could make things better.”

Watch Obama work a crowd at a town hall meeting. He comes out, says a few words in greeting and then begins his laundry list of all the stuff that’s wrong with America, getting the audience all revved up. When the crowd is engaged and sufficiently “pissed off,” Obama presents a solution to the all the things that are “pissing them off” — the chosen one, the anointed one, the Obama — as president.

Alinsky’s goal was to slowly turn the United States into a Communist dictatorship; to this end he tried to convince various groups of poor people and labor unions to push for legislation in that direction; he did this by appealing to their self-interest — whether valid or not — instead of using charismatic leadership — but now we have Obama, who is skilled in the Alinsky method and charismatic.

This sounds designed to be devilish, wicked. Remember the name of the witch of the popular TV sitcom show a few decades ago? Then put “Power”....

I don’t think the good Lord is going to let Israel go under the bus again. We are getting into conflicts of biblical import here.

The best we could hope for America would be that Obama would be too chicken livered to do anything at all, but just stay out of the way.

And Obama is on board with this? It will be God damn America then, and not for the reasons his racist mentor Jeremiah Wright gave. More like about 4000 years ago, with the Abrahamic Covenant.

Fat chance they would be used to defend Israel.

This is going to be a long four years.

"The anti-war movement that opposed the surge in Iraq remains silent about sending additional troops to Afghanistan."

From the link I posted above. So very true.

Also will put into effect the Samson Option. Which raises the term 'A Zero Sum Game' to new dimensions not anticipated before. 0 is Zero is Nada.

'Nuff said by me on FR.

If it were possible for the literal whole world to go at Israel, this would sure be a scenario for it. There could be others, these might be pre-shocks to the great earthquake as hopefully all the biggies will decide it’s in their own self interest to stand down now. I mean after all the UN is pretty much a do nothing posturing agency, they might put people on the West Bank but those people won’t be able to withstand even a phalanx of tanks.

Or I could be mistaken and armageddon here we come! It still seems too soon to me; there are nations living to whom the gospel has not been preached.
