Israelis were given yet another reason to view US President Barack Obama with suspicion last week when he appointed former senator Chuck Hagel as the new head of his Intelligence Advisory Board.
Hagel has long rubbed Israel and its supporters the wrong way, and last month he reiterated his antagonistic positions when addressing the liberal Jewish lobby group J-Street. Hagel told his audience that meeting Arab demands for a Palestinian state on ancient Jewish lands is "is central, not peripheral, to U.S. vital security interests in combating terrorism."
Israel has for years been trying to impress upon Washington to not play into the terrorists hands by allowing them to define Israel's existence as justification for their actions.
Hagel also said that while the US may have a special relationship with Israel, the Middle East's only true democracy, it "must not come at the expense of our Arab relationships."
Hagel's remarks came as no surprise to those who followed his actions as a senator in recent years.
Hagel strongly criticized former President George W. Bush during his first term for refusing to meet with Yasser Arafat, while at the same time questioning the loyalty of American Jews who pushed for the US to back Israel against its enemies.
Later, Hagel refused to join an effort to convince the European Union to declare Hizballah a terrorist organization, and was one of only four senators to not sign a declaration backing Israel at the outset of the second Palestinian intifada, better known as the "Oslo War."

Anti-Israel? Hagel is anti-US.
Sounds about right. Whenever I see him on a talk show, I turn it off pretty quickly.
78% of American Jewish voters voted for this just like 55% of “Catholic” voters voted for baby killing on demand and 90+% of African Americans voted to stay on the DNC plantation.
Elections have consequences.

Why is it that everything 0bama has done has
A. weakened America
B. strengthened islam
C. attacked Israel
or any combination of the above?
Or maybe I’m delusional? Can anyone cite something he’s done that doesn’t fit A, B, or C?
(SJackson has dibs on: “He bought a Portuguese water dog.”)
Exactly what I was thinking, but you elucidated the categories so perfectly.
He does A, B and C, every chance he gets.
Remember the old saying though....”Keep your friends close and your enemys closer.”
How would that have worked with Osama bin Laden, Hitler and Hirohito?
He’s done a lot of Pro-gay/anti-family stuff, but I suppose that fits under #1.
Good point. Except that maybe this admin could use them to their advantage......against us that is.
By the way.....I always listen to the opposing side so I know where they are coming from and what they are proposing. I hate doing it but I don’t like surprises.
Yep, it’s good to know what they’re up to. Glad somebody keeps up with that. Was Hagel one of the ones who went with Pelosi to Syria? (I think it was Syria).
One would almost think Barry wanted (by his behavior) this imam as his spiritual adviser in the White House ... oh wait, he did ...

I really don’t know about that but it wouldn’t surprise me.
There were other trips, Hobson and Issa but I thought a couple went with Pelosi to Syria. I think it was Reps. Frank Wolf of Virginia and Joe Pitts of Pennsylvania by the Fox article.

For supposedly being Jewish, Rahm Emanuel isn’t being of much help to Israel and Judaism in general. Are Rahm and Ezekiel cut from the same cloth as George Soros?
Soros. From the Esperanto, "to soar". The name his father picked to replace the family name of Schwartz, German for "black", to conceal their Jewish identity from the growing Fascist movement. (Ironically enough Soros worked for the "Jewish Council", which had been established during the Nazi occupation of Hungary to forcibly carry out Nazi and Hungarian government anti-Jewish measures).
Schwartz becomes Soros.
Blackness soars...

The lid’s off Obama’s Jew-hatred. My Jewish cousins who voted for Obama? All but one say they’re sorry.
That’s an ugly hat. But, it fits.
My straight view: Netanyahu needs to cut Barry off at the knees.
I hope you said “I told you so” ...
