White House slams Obama's poor standing among Israelis
HaAretz ^ | 10/28/09 | Barak Ravid, Yuval Azoulay, Jonathan Lis and Noah Kosharek

Posted on 10/28/2009 11:16:10 PM PDT by Nachum

U.S. President Barack Obama has videotaped a message to be shown Saturday night at the annual memorial ceremony for Yitzhak Rabin in Rabin Square in Tel Aviv. The message will relate to the murdered prime minister's legacy and the need to advance the peace process. It was prepared in response to a request from Rabin's daughter, Dalia Rabin.

This is another step in Obama's attempt to speak directly to the Israeli public in light of the very low level of support he has among the Israeli public. Several polls over the past few months show the American president has won the support of only 6 percent to 10 percent of the Israeli public, with people saying Obama does not support Israel.

Because he doesn't. Perhaps a few of them will vote accordingly in the future.

I would suspect that his popularity there or lack thereof does not present itseslf as a safe place to present himself in personna. And you know, with the Israeli neighbors lobbing rockets on the place every few hours it’s not a place to take MicHELLe and girls for a cozy vacation.

“The message will relate to the murdered prime minister’s legacy and the need to advance the peace process.”

I bet a lot of Israelis yearn for the time BEFORE the Camp David Accords, when they were on the verge of wiping-out Arafat and the PLO.

Why not, he isn’t supporting the U.S. either.

Oh and tell them they need to move out and

This is good.
For two years now, all we’ve heard is how everyone loves Obama.

Now his popularity is plummeting at home, Afghans are burning his effigy, Israel has realize Obama is no friend, Germany and France have snubbed Obama, Poland realizes he left them high and dry, and the only credible news network is blasting him.

Let the Press report it, and let Obama complain about it. The more he stirs it, the more it will smell.

It’ll work about as well as the Michelle My Belle appearance tour taking place right now, where the big MO acts all “I’m just so down with you all...”, in order to make folks like them both more.

Some will buy it. Others will see it as the answers fed to them nonsense that makes you despise them more each delightful moment.

“Hey, sure I green lighted Syria and they’re bringing scuds down to the Israeli border, but I play basketball with the big boys. Cut me some slack jack...”

What a d—kweed!

Will it read like this?

Dear Israel,

You can trust me. You should trust me. I am your friend.

Thank you for your time.

Kind Regards,
Barrack Hussein Obama
President of the United States of America

PS - Stop being racist and take my hand in friendship... or else I’ll sell weapons to Syria and cancel sales of weapons to your country. Oops, I already did that.

Obamessiah along with his entire administration HATE the Jews and Israel, they side with Israels enemies and bow down before the Saudi king. The Israles are wise not to trust or want anything to do with this evil man.

Rabin’s widow refused to let Bibi Netanyahu visit her when she was mourning her husband’s death. She hosted Yasser Arafat however.

Yeah, this is going to do a lot to endear the Israeli public who may mourn Rabin but largely understand that the Palestinians rejected Oslo and still are not ready to recognize Israel’s right to exist.

Rahm blew it big time with his policy of trying to unseat Bibi.

Bibi made a big statement by coming to US and not making any overture to Obama.

Too many secret service agents were hurt by the fireballs streaming from the Temple mount.

The Jews of Israel are not to be faulted for the stupidity of their increasingly-distant kinsmen.

I saw Rahm Emmanuel’s interview with Israeli television on YouTube.

It was classic!

(In reality, this was a satire interview done by Israeli comedians. They *REALLY* got him good.)

The take here is that, to the Obamatons, Rabin is a martyr figure for the Israeli left. So they figure that obtaining a presence at the Rabin ceremony will enable them to get a foot in the door with the Rabin people. I agree with you, it won't work any magic, even with them, and it certainly won't with the general Israeli population.

BTW, did anyone notice that Netanyahu apparently is not scheduled to be at the Rabin memorial event where the Obama video will be shown? Wonder if there is any significance to that.

The Obamanation of desolation is basically demanding that the Israelis engage in idolatry and worship him..
