TEAM OBAMA'S ANTI-ISRAEL TURN
NY Post ^ | Mar. 13, 2009 | JOHN BOLTON

Posted on 03/13/2009 6:26:13 AM PDT by nuconvert

THE Obama administration is increasingly fixed on resolving the "Arab-Is raeli dispute," seeing it as the key to peace and stability in the Middle East. This is bad news for Israel - and for America.

In its purest form, this theory holds that, once Israel and its neighbors come to terms, all other regional conflicts can be duly resolved: Iran's nuclear-weapons program, fanatical anti-Western terrorism, Islam's Sunni-Shiite schism, Arab-Persian ethnic tensions.

Some advocates believe substantively that the overwhelming bulk of other Middle Eastern grievances, wholly or partly, stem from Israel's founding and continued existence. Others see it in process terms - how to "sequence" dispute resolutions, so that Arab-Israeli progress facilitates progress elsewhere.

Pursuing this talisman has long characterized many European leaders and their soulmates on the American left. The Mideast "peace process" is thus the ultimate self-licking ice cream cone - its mere existence being its basic justification

The root cause of Obama’s anti-Israel views is the fact he and his family are Muslims. Why is that surprising?

There are fools and there are fools... but this crew just leaves me with my jaw hanging open.

In all honesty, who’s surprised at any of this?

Peace will come only when the Satanic Verses are removed from the Koran and the American left is carrying “Stop Jihad Now!” signs.

So, to further this end, we're giving $900 million to Hamas so they can buy missiles from Iran. Right...

In all honesty this is a problem for American Jews who donated and voted for Obama. Such leaders like former World Congress Edgar Bronfman who stated Obama is better for Israel than the other guy.

I actually think Obama is most likely atheist or agnostic, but feels a strong cultural affinity with Islam.

This isn't an Islamic country, if he converts to Christianity, he's a Christian.

During the election, had we (actually the GOP and media) recognized that, we could have looked at his faith, which is virulently racist and marginally antisemitic, essentially a left wing version of the Christian Identity movement. Association with a CI or Christian white supremecist church would and should be a disqualifier for a candidate on the right, the rules should be the same. He needs to explain why he accepts a faith that requires him to dedicate his talents to Africans and considers whites agents of the devil. Which would also explain his tolerance for racist and antisemitic screeds. And imo disqualify him from office.

That he feels an affinity with Islam is clear.

What is more suprising is 78% or so of American Jews voted for a guy named Hussein and they sold out Israel. He is a Muslim. His birth in Kenya and his religion are the biggest hoaxes ever perpetrated on the American public with the endless support of the MSM news media.

God will not be mocked. We are in huge trouble as a nation.

Elie Weisel the Holocaust entrepreneur who lost everything to Madoff in his dubious tax-dodge family foundation is a HUGE fan of Obama. He tried to tie the Holocaust and civil right to the election of Obama.

Israeli's 3 to 1 were for Juan McCain. I guess Elie Weasel thinks selling out Israel to Hussein is good for the Jews. I can see why Bernie took Elie to the cleaners. I have equal contempt for the just under 50% of Catholics who voted for the baby killing Muslim. The Church was one of the few things stopping Islam from taking over Europe and the West. See Vienna 1683 AD.

Jan Sobieski saved Vienna in 1683, not the Church.

King Jan Sobieski and his Polish cavalry stopped Islam. The Pope a year or more earlier had set up a defense pact with Poland. Also let’s not forget the heroic defense by Germans, Austrians and some northern Italians to save Vienna and Europe.

Israel will not agree to annihilation and have been preparing to go it alone once it was clear who the current President was going to be.

I think Netanyahu is planning his strategy and will carry it out by summertime.

King Jan’s winged Polish Hussar cavalry must have been a sight to behold unless you were a Muslim at Vienna.

Thank God for Netanyahu. Let’s pray he holds firm and blocks Obama’s agenda.
