Mass New York Rally Protest Against Obama Threatening Existence Of Israel

By Joel Leyden
Israel News Agency

Jerusalem ---- April 23, 2010 ... Thousands of American Jews and Christians are expected to gather this Sunday at 1 PM outside of the Israel Consulate, located at 800 Second Avenue (42nd Street & 2nd Avenue) to protest US President Barack Obama scapegoating of Israel and his increasingly hostile anti - Israel proposals and actions.

Numerous rabbis and heads of Jewish and Christian organizations will also be present.

“We are outraged that President Obama is scapegoating Israel and wants to expel Jews from their homes in their capital of Jerusalem. President Obama and Secretary Hillary Clinton show more anger about a Jewish family building a home in Jerusalem than Iran building a nuclear bomb,” said Beth Gilinsky, President of the Jewish Action Alliance.

“Vast segments of the Jewish community will not tolerate the President Obama continuing attacks on Israel. Grassroots Jewry will not be silent.”

Jewish and Christian protesters will raise large signs that read: “Jerusalem: Israel’s United and Eternal Capital,” “Hillary Clinton: Pressure Iran, Not Israel!”, “Obama: Stand up for America, Stop Bowing to Saudi Kings!”, and “Obama: Jews Will Not Be Silent.”

A taped statement by former US Congressman and three term New York City Mayor Ed Koch, who has vigorously expressed his shock and displeasure with President Obama hostility toward Israel, will be played to attendees.

Koch, a Democrat who campaigned for Barack Obama, now sees Obama as a real threat to Israel's existence saying that "Obama is throwing Israel under the bus to appease radical Muslims".

Barack Obama in suggesting that Islamic terror organizations such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad place their rockets against Jews and Christians in or near Jerusalem has done more to create solidarity between right and left wing, religious and secular Jews than any other US President.

The protest rally against Obama is being sponsored by the Jewish Action Alliance, an organization well known for activism and speaking out on issues of Jewish security. The event will be MC’d by radio talk show host Steve Malzberg and columnist Rabbi Aryeh Spero.

It is endorsed by AISH Center, Americans for a Safe Israel, Artists 4 Israel, Children of Jewish Holocaust Survivors, Christians and Jews United for Israel, Coalition for Israel, Crown Heights Women for the Security and Integrity of Israel; Dr. Joseph Frager, Jerusalem Reclamation Project; Assemblyman Dov Hikind; IsraelAlive; Israel Day Concert in the Park; Jewish Political Education Foundation; Dr. Michael Ledeen of Center for Defense of Democracies; Unity Coalition for Israel; Dr. Herbert London of The Hudson Institute; AMCHA, Coalition for Jewish Concerns; Stand With Us; Endowment for Middle East Truth; World Committee for the Land of Israel; Zionist Organization of America; Israel News Agency, Z Street; and many other Jewish, Christian and Hindu groups.

"We are expecting a very substantial turnout of grassroots Jews as well as many non-Jewish staunch friends of Israel on Sunday," says Gilinsky.

"Americans and other world leaders are shocked by President Obama's reckless and radical policies that they believe are endangering America, Israel,and world freedom. Their voices of conscience - and deep disappointment in President Obama - will be raised on Sunday at this major protest rally.

"The protesters will be calling on President Obama to stop disarming America, stop undermining America's best friend and ally in the Middle East, Israel, and to stand with Israel and America's friends rather than appeasing Iran, dictators and Jihadists (advocates of an Islamic Holy war against Jews and Christians as illustrated by 9/11 and the London Bombings)."

"We believe this will be an historic gathering of Jews and non-Jews to proclaim that we never again will be silent." "Those attending on Sunday will affirm the time honored concept of a united and secure Jerusalem under Israel democratic sovereignty, and to make our displeasure known regarding the deplorable manner in which the White House has treated Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and, in extension, the State of Israel."

"The thousands attending on Sunday will loudly express their profound concern about the President Obama redefinition of terrorism and de-linking of terrorism from radical Islam – all of these are dangerous concessions weakening our vigilance and imperiling our safety."

"We have been receiving numerous communications from the People of Israel expressing how demoralized and abandoned the Jewish People in Israel feel by the lack of any strong and meaningful statement and vigorous, public demonstrations sponsored by any of the major and established Jewish organizations in support of Israel's position regarding Jerusalem," says Gilinsky.

"Many Israelis, and we, feel that the treatment of Israel during the last several weeks by President Obama, Hillary Clinton, and spokesmen for the Administration has been an unprecedented attempt to humiliate the Jewish State and a willful isolation of it among the community of nations. We are angry at this hostility toward Israel, and will express our displeasure loud and clear on Sunday."

"The rally-goers are alarmed at how the Obama Administration has been making statements and taking measures that everyone knows give license for the Arab population within Israel and on its borders to renew intifada and rioting that will severely harm the individual Israeli, as is already being done."

"Those attending the protest believe Obama is encouraging other Western countries, as well as Arab countries, to treat Israel as a diplomatic pariah and even question Israel's legitimacy as a state itself. The Obama Administration will hear the disappointment and anger of the Jewish Community."

"The protesters will affirm that the entire city of Jerusalem must continue to be under Jewish sovereignty and is Israel’s eternal, united capital, and that Jews not be specifically outlawed from building and living in all of its neighborhoods."

"The large crowd expected to attend on Sunday are coming to speak Truth to Power. We will not be silent."

"The protesters are troubled that recent news reports indicate that President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wish to impose a solution on Israel or pressure Israel to surrender to the Obama Clinton vision of how Israel should look. Their solution may include the forfeiture of historic Jerusalem and internationalization of holy sites by the Temple Mount and a “law of return” for Moslems that would assuredly over time change the Jewish composition and character of Israel. Such a solution is really a Final Solution."

In 2008 Barack Obama, in a stunt to secure the Jewish vote, told the American Israel Public Affairs Committee that if he was elected President, "Jerusalem would remain the capital of Israel and it must remain undivided."

Today, Barack Obama bows to Arab kings and is ready to place the rockets and missiles of Islamic terror groups Hamas, al Qaeda and Islamic Jihad in or near Jerusalem with no defensible Israeli borders.

There is plenty of room for these patriotic Jews in the Republican Party. Obama has been wrong on just about every issue that he has addressed since he arrived in the Oval Office. The Israeli issue is but one example.

I hope that the Jews abandon the Democratic Party and unite with the Republicans. I am a Christian, but my Bible tells me that woe is the nation that harms Israel. My Christianity is a very Jewish thing. Jesus was a Jew as were his disciples and so was the Apostle Paul.

Too many American Jews have turned their backs on Israel because of their cult like love for the anointed one. I bet there will be more goyems there than Jews.

Vast segments of the Jewish community will not tolerate the President Obama continuing attacks on Israel. Grassroots Jewry will not be silent

And yet vast segments of the Jewish community voted for Obama and other Dem ilks all the time...

Are you finally waking up?

Finally had enough?

Nice to see, let's hope it's not too little, too late...

It would have been wonderful for him to attend.
