Jindal: Obama is ‘Disrespecting Israel, the Jewish People’
http://freebeacon.com ^ | February 12, 2015 | Adam Kredo

Louisiana Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal took aim at the White House for “disrespecting Israel and the Jewish people” after it was revealed that President Barack Obama’s authorization for the use of military force against the Islamic State (IS) failed to mention that Jews are a prime target of the terror group, according to a statement provided to the Washington Free Beacon.

Obama’s war authorization came under fire on Wednesday after Rep. Lee Zeldin (R., N.Y.), Congress’ only Jewish Republican, noted that the resolution specifically omits Jewish people as one of IS’s (also known as ISIS and ISIL) chief targets.

It does, however, name several other ethnic groups that are threatened by IS, including Yezidis, Iraqi Christians, and Turkmens.

Jindal told the Free Beacon in a statement that the White House’s omission of Jews is part of a pattern of hostility towards Israel.

“It’s inconceivable that the White House left the Jewish people out of the list of the Islamic State’s targets in their request for authorization for military force,” Jindal said. “There are countless examples of the Obama administration disrespecting Israel and the Jewish people, but this omission in the AUMF follows two signs of disrespect in only the last several days.”

Jindal said that these repeated shots at Israel and Jews are intentional.

“These are not mistakes. These are not gaffes. Undermining America’s longstanding alliance with Israel and disrespecting Jewish people seems to be a strategic aim of this White House,” Jindal said.

In addition to the war authorization, the administration has come under fire for calling the anti-Semitic attacks on a kosher supermarket in Paris a “random” act that targeted no one in particular.

“For some bizarre reason, they fail to recognize the threat that Israel and the Jewish people face in the Middle East and in Europe,” Jindal said. “There is a rising tide of anti-Semitism in the world and America has to stand with Israel and the Jewish people against these extremists.”

Unbelievable. Is this the new Wiberal MO, denying a country & people’s existence? To marginalize those of the Jewish faith to the point of animals or non-existence? If the Jews won’t fight for their right for survival, should Christians? I say yes, as tomorrow it could be you or me.

Bibi is doing what he should and can do to head off an Nuke Holocaust in his country. Sanctions might stop Irans plan to annihilate Israel’s Jews. Just like in WWII there are Jews in high places in the USA that watched while Germany killed millions.

If Bibi doesn’t succeed Obama will keep extending these fruitless talks allowing Iran all the time she needs to Nuke up.

We either get a Holocaust or a nuclear war when Israel levels Iran in response to losing most of its 8 million population.

I believe every sane person should by know what Iran’s plans for the Jews are. And Bibi has every right to ask for sanctions.

It is not just a fight against the Islamic horde because of whom might be next, it is a fight for what is right, period.

Frankly, were it in my power to do so, I'd vaporize the entire area controlled by the horde and start over. Threats and atrocities committed in the name of some deity should not be allowed to prevail on this planet. They want to live in their sinister quasi religious state, fine with me just not in this dimension.

Well ... actually ... Israel is the only country in the world that God fights for. I would say Israel already has a pretty good backer! ... :-) ...

America is in great danger for 2 reasons,

1. The hatred of God, the God of Israel is God,and the evil of those who hate and lust after evil, brazenly displayed by the left but also by many fools of the right.

2. The anti semitism of those Americans who hate the Israel of God, which is eternal according to the Scripture is eternal and will be the lead nation during the1000 year rule of Jesus Christ on the earth as King of kings and Lord of lords. He created the all things and is King thereof.

Ge.12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great ; and thou shalt be a blessing:

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed .

Ge.15:1After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying , Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding greatreward.

2 And Abram said , Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I gochildless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?

3 And Abram said , Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir .

4 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying , This shall not be thine heir ; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir .

5 And he brought him forthabroad, and said , Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

7 And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.

Je.33:
David; and he shall executejudgment and righteousness in the land.

16 In those days shall Judah be saved , and Jerusalem shall dwellsafely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called , The LORD our righteousness.

17 For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;

Jeremiah 33:

18 Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to dosacrifice continually.

19 And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying ,

20 Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;

21 Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers .

22 As the host of heaven cannot be numbered , neither the sand of the sea measured : so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.

23 Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying ,

24Considerest thou not what this people have spoken , saying , The two families which the LORD hath chosen , he hath even cast them off ? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.

25 Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;

26Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return , and have mercy on them.

Jindal is 100% correct. Too bad so many Jews just don’t get it. God forbid, they get annihilated again and they’ll say what did we do?

Yet, the Jewish community voted for him twice. They’d do it a third time if they could.

“Disrespecting” is putting it quite mildly.

Not so much- apparently only about 20% voted for him in second term- according to the left anyways

Are we sure that Obama might be the one preparing to nuke israel or somewhere else? He looks like he is preparing for his own personal jihad.

Liberalism is the new Torah for liberal Jews.
