Obama’s Warnings About Anti-Semitism Ring Hollow
Investors Business Daily ^ | 2-2-16

Posted on 02/02/2016 5:17:11 PM PST by SJackson

Leadership: President Obama staged a political show for a Jewish audience Wednesday, loudly warning of the new atmosphere of anti-Semitism in Europe and the U.S. It's a hollow statement, given his weak record on a rapidly metastasizing problem.

"Here, tonight, we must confront the reality that around the world, anti-Semitism is on the rise. We cannot deny it," the president told his listeners at the Israeli embassy on Wednesday night. Citing the flight of Jews from Western Europe, as well attacks on Jews in India and Kansas, he got his lines right in concluding, "When we see that, we must not be silent."

Problem here is that these conditions are the very result of his silences, denials, and lifelines to Islamists for political purposes. What's more he's ignored the behavior in the U.S. of an increasingly anti-Semitic intelligentsia that has added to the atmosphere where terrorism can flourish. In short, it's been an absence of leadership from the supposed leader of the free world that has assured this plague's spread.

In typical straw-man fashion, Obama equated the attack of a Ku Klux Klan-linked lunatic on a Jewish center in Kansas in 2014, to the large-scale mass flight of Jews from Europe as they are systematically persecuted in the name of political correctness and the empowerment by Europe's elites of Islamofascist migrants. To him, there's little difference between the two, despite the easy control-ability of one and the huge failure to lead on the other.

Muslims contribute rape, torture, murder and terrorism worldwide. What more is there to need to know? Oh wait... and that the peaceful Muslims along with organizations like CAIRO do absolutely nothing to suppress this insanity. Screw all of them.

Obama complaining about expanded antisemitism is like Obama complaining about expanded socialism. Obama is defined by his absolute adherence to those two facets of evil.

He gives US taxpayer dollars to Iran and in the next breath says anti-semitism is on the rise.

Maybe he’s chewing some serious nicotine gum because it doesn’t make sense to me.

"Citing the flight of Jews from Western Europe, as well attacks on Jews in India and Kansas"

India?? Other reports on his speech seen to suggest he was referring to "attacks on Jewish centers in Mumbai"..... There was just one attack on a Jewish centre(Chabad House) in Mumbai and that was carried out by Pakistani terrorists during the 3 day attack on the city starting 26th November 2008.

There have never been attacks on Jews in India by Indians (prior to the Mumbai attack, that "honor" was held by the Portuguese - "The strong presence of Sephardic Jews from Iberia and local Indian Jews in this region was the primary justification for the Portuguese to institute the Goa Inquisition in 1560 - 24 years after the Portuguese Inquisition was instituted in Portugal") Anti-Semitism has never existed in India, not in the 2600 years of Jewish presence there.
