Obama Slanders, Abandons Israel
newsmax.com ^ | April 12, 2010 | Edward Koch

Posted on 04/13/2010 12:49:27 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

I weep as I witness outrageous verbal attacks on Israel. What makes these verbal assaults and distortions all the more painful is that they are being orchestrated by President Obama.

For me, the situation today recalls what occurred in 70 A.D. when the Roman emperor Vespasian launched a military campaign against the Jewish nation and its ancient capital of Jerusalem.

Ultimately, Masada, a rock plateau in the Judean desert, became the last refuge of the Jewish people against the Roman onslaught. I have been to Jerusalem and Masada. From the top of Masada, you can still see the remains of the Roman fortifications and garrisons, and the stones and earth of the Roman siege ramp that was used to reach Masada.

The Jews of Masada committed suicide rather than let the Romans take them captive.

In Rome itself, I have seen the Arch of Titus with the sculpture showing enslaved Jews and the treasures of the Jewish temple with the menorah, the symbol of the Jewish state, being carted away as booty during the sacking of Jerusalem.

Oh, you may say, that is a far-fetched analogy. Please hear me out.

Obama’s attack and abandoning of Israel is going to be the NUMBER ONE MOVE in his false reign as Commander in Chief that will bring us down as a nation!

Given the way Obama has treated our allies, one wonders why the term ‘cowboy diplomacy’ doesn’t apply to his style. He doesn’t talk, he badgers, or hectors to use the mayor’s word. When that doesn’t work see will see him turn to military solutions far sooner than George Bush ever would.

At least the cowboys had a code. Obama is just a bully.

Jews have always leaned toward the liberal positions on social, economic and political issues and that meant supporting the Democratic party by huge majorities.

The “Jewish vote” has been one of the most loyal cornerstones of the DemRats base, despite the problems with a bigger racial base group represented by “Hymietown”, race baiting leaders like Jackson and Sharpton.

Now Obama takes the DemRAts one step further into the camp of the Palistinians and away from traditional support for Israel.

Koch ‘gets it’ but One wonders if the majority of Jews will ever learn that they have been taken for granted.

Maybe ‘african diplomacy” is more appropriate.

They tend to be bullies, eh?

“I am not a religious person. I am comfortable in a synagogue, but generally attend only twice a year, on the high holidays.

When I entered the tomb of Abraham and Sarah, as I recall, I felt connected with my past and the traditions of my people. One is a Jew first by birth and then by religion.

Those who leave their religion, remain Jews forever by virtue of their birth. If they don’t think so, let them ask their neighbors, who will remind them.”

Eddy, that explains so much. A secular Jew is as of as much value to G-d as salt that has lost it's flavor. If you have to search to find how this could happen to Israel, you won't have to go too far — it's about a 30 second journey to a mirror or a polished window.

I watched a show about the Colosseum in Rome on the History Channel.

They said that the gold and treasures robbed from the Holy Temple in Jerusalem were used to pay for the Colosseum in Rome, where murder, rape, and mayhem became sport for centuries.

Talk about evil.

God protects Israel and perhaps God will lead the Mossad to the truth about the second Hitler.

Careful, you wouldn’t want people to think that you were arrogant enough to presume what is of value to G-d.

With all due respect, Mayor Koch -

YOU ARE AN IDIOT!

You supported Obama, loudly and frequently, on the airwaves of the NY metropolitan area.

What did you expect?

YOU deserve this anguish. But the people of Israel - the ones you helped throw under the bus, by supporting Obama - did not.

May you live with the shame you so richly deserve.
