One hundred days into Barack Obama's presidency, he demonstrated cowardice abroad and demagogic tyranny at home. On the 105th day of his presidency, he demonstrated his clear-cut anti-Semitism.
On Monday, Rahm Emanuel, the president's hatchet man, delivered a message to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. According to the Jerusalem Post, Emanuel stated, "Thwarting Iran's nuclear program is conditional on progress in peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians." The message is clear: America will bar any action against Iran unless Israel makes concessions to the Palestinian Arab thugs who seek to eviscerate all Jewish presence east of the Mediterranean.
Emanuel isn't the first Obama lackey to link American opposition to Iran with Israeli concessions. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told Congress, "For Israel to get the kind of strong support it's looking for vis-a-vis Iran, it can't stay on the sidelines with respect to the Palestinians and the peace efforts." The two issues -- Iranian nuclear development and the Israeli-Arab conflict -- "go hand in hand."
This is pure nonsense. The Iranian nuclear program threatens not only Israel, but U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, the government of Turkey, the government of Saudi Arabia, and the territory of Eastern Europe. Iran's centrifuges make it a regional power, able to leverage its calculated irrationality into fearful appeasement by the West. America's interest in the Iranian nuclear program has nothing to do with the Israeli-Arab conflict.
The Obama administration knows this. They simply don't care. Their position is clear: America's ally, Israel, is no longer valuable. Sacrificing it in order to win Obama global popularity points is a worthwhile pursuit. The Obama administration offers Israel a choice between being a victim of suicide via territorial concessions to the Palestinian Arabs, or a victim of homicide via Iran. And the Obama administration forces that choice so that Obama can smile and wave at cheering throngs of Jew-hating maniacs who populate the Muslim world.
This is anti-Semitism at its finest. Not even in the heyday of the Carter administration did such anti-Semitism find expression in American foreign policy.
Obama's defenders no doubt scoff at such accusations.
Obama, the Man of Tolerance, an anti-Semite?
Yes. An anti-Semite.
Obama's attitude toward Israel demonstrates his belief that the Jews should be held to a higher standard than any other nation -- the standard of unrelenting surrender. Take, by contrast, Obama's attitude toward the Pakistani government. The Pakistani government recently conceded the Swat Valley to the Taliban. The Obama administration opposed Pakistan's concessions.
"I have expressed my concern and confusion about what happened," fumed Ambassador to Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Holbrooke. "(T)he chief spokesman of the Taliban in the Swat area publicly renounced the part of the deal in which they're supposed to lay down their arms. And it seems to me that that ought to be a wakeup call to everybody in Pakistan that you can't deal with these people by giving away territory as they creep closer and closer to the populated centers of the Punjab and Islamabad. They're less than 100 miles from Islamabad after this deal ... And I am concerned at the growing risk that you'll have more terrorist attacks in Lahore and Islamabad, perhaps in Karachi."
Obama is concerned when a Muslim state populated by radical Muslim sympathizers makes territorial concessions to those radical Muslim sympathizers. He is concerned that those Muslim terrorists will be within 100 miles of a Muslim capital. And he is worried that Muslim terrorist attacks on Muslims will escalate.
Yet Obama advocates for territorial concessions by Jews to radical Muslims. He presses Jews to hand over territory not 100 miles from the capital, but constituting half the capital itself. He knows that each time Israel has made territorial concessions, Muslim terrorists have upped the ante -- most recently in both Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. And he knows that the Palestinian Arabs have never and will never lay down their arms. Yet he threatens Israel with allowing its nuclear annihilation if Israel refuses to authorize euthanasia.
During the election campaign, I wrote that Obama was "the most dangerous candidate for the state of Israel since its creation in 1948." I wrote, "Any American Jew who votes for Obama ought to be ashamed of him or herself." My words were not strong enough. Any Jew who continues to support Obama's foreign policy should turn in his badge as a Jew -- that means you, Rahm Emanuel. And all Americans who support Israel must stand up against a president who values the genocidal murderers in Muslim lands over our democratic allies in the Jewish State.
Obama is also this
http://www.theusmat.com/
Israel will defend itself even from the US.
Yet Obama advocates for territorial concessions your money,land,rights,guns,country.
Isn’t the prophecy that the whole world will be against Israel? We have been their last friend. If we are going to turn on them, it will be another prophecy fulfilled.
Any droop in his Jewish voter block yet?
BArry don’t like no honkies.
Let’s see, totaltarain thug who is anti-Semitic. Didn’t we fight a major war aginst a guy just like that?
Coming soon: Obummer throws Israel under the bus (gee it’s getting pretty crowded under there, isn;t it?) Film at eleven.
Wow, this could whack Jewish support for 0bama down from 78%-79% to maybe as low as 70%.
I hope Netanyahu will hve the strength to tell Firefly exactly where to go and what to do wehn he gets there.
I always find this either incredulous or amazing.
Obama the anti-semite yet his administration is the most Jewish I’ve ever seen in an inner circle....in my 5 decades in America.
It’s like Saul Alinsky picked them himself.
Are they all Kapos?
Yeah, repeating myself - american Jews have no one to blame but themselves...
You are right....
The rapture could occur at anytime, there is no definite timetable for it. It is the next thing on the prophetic calender though. Once it occurs, it will pave the way for the Anti-Christ to take power. He will make a peace treaty with Israel and protect them for 3 1/2 years, then turn on them. He will declare himself to be God and demand worship. Near the end, Israel will be overrun and their enemies will have them by the throat, it is at this time that Christ returns as their Messiah and Savior. He will destroy their enemies and usher in the millennium kingdom. That is a thumbnail sketch.
The word “rapture” does not appear in Scripture, but it is alluded to in many places and it fits theologically. I have yet to have any Christian give me a theological reason why Christians would go through the judgments of the tribulation which are meant for an unbelieving world. And no, it did not come from the Seventh Day Adventists.
NOW,!, WHO VOTED FOR THIS MUSLIM LEADER OF AMERICA?
“I always find this either incredulous or amazing.
Obama the anti-semite yet his administration is the most Jewish I’ve ever seen in an inner circle....in my 5 decades in America.”
********
was thinking the same thing. He’s got a dual-Israeli citizen as his Chief of Staff.
Obama to Israel: Choose your poison
This is pure, raw, unadorned, unadulterated evil
True,
Putting things in perspective, he announces that America is no longer a christian religion nation, that we are neutral, and now he is supportive of the muslims.
AND THAT IS JUST IN THE FIRST 100 DAYS
When did we become a muslim based nation with Obama heading it????
The hoodwinked American people (who voted) have doomed America.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
..................
Just what did the Jews think Zero meant when he said “I’ll side with the muslims....”
The story of Hanukkah chronicles a violent conflict between apostate, assimilated Jews and faithful, observant Jews, so there’s historical precedent for the situation.
That appears to ber the case..
How would we know?
Oh, I’m sure the poll results would be all over the MSM...
Most [all] muslims are.
The US cannot bar Israel from defending itself.
Rahm and NObama are absolutely NUTS to even suggest such a thing.
A strong note to the Reverend Wright should straighten that youngster right out!
Why aren’t American Jews taking Emanuel to task for his facilitation of this anti-semitic policy?
I discovered, to my dismay, that many American Jews are liberal to the extent that they believe Israel is the cause of all Middle East strife and unrest.
I think that Liberalism is the religion of Reform Jews. They are only Jews in a tribal sort of way. The yarmulkas and stuff embarass them.
Aha. You are undoubtedly correct.
Rush today was talking about the Religion of Liberalism filling a place in hearts that have no real religious beliefs. So the Reform Jews must be like the Notre Dame Catholics.
I'm game - care to discuss? While I give you a theological reason why Christians would go through - the tribulation - (notice I removed the phrase "the judgments of") why don't you give me a scriptural basis for the pretrib rapture?
FWIW, I used to be pretrib. I grew up on those 70s movies - Thief in the Night et al - and every evangelical church I ever went to was never anything but. It was an assumption, but the more I studied prophecy, the more it eluded me, so one day I decided to throw out all preconceptions and just read. Didn't find it in there, but what I did find was an amazingly harmonious prophetic plan of return and redemption and restoration, starting with Matt 24 as a timeline and including Revelation, Daniel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Zechariah, etc. It's an amazing puzzle that falls together quite nicely.
First point - Jesus Himself said "in this life you will have tribulation, but fear not, I have overcome the world." Why should we feel we will be exempt from tribulation and suffering? This concept only works in the West, where we are comfortable and unpersecuted. Ask believers who live in Open Door's top 50 most persecuted countries if they think we are exempt from tribulation.
To that, pretrib folks respond with, "Wait! The tribulation is DIFFERENT! Sure, we can expect trouble on this earth, but we aren't subject to God's wrath." So here's a money sentence - it all depends when the wrath starts. Most pretribbers place the start of the wrath of God with the first seal - why?
American Jews voted overwhelmingly for this man. some of them must be kicking themselves.
No, they are committed leftists. They are apostates to leftism.
You just don’t get it. Emmanuel was cover for the Clinton administration’s campaign to divide Israel. He is doing the same now. The communists and Islamists now even have an organization of pet “Jews” known as J Street.
Yeah, but it doesn’t much matter, since AIPAC will enthusiastically back Obama again in 2012. Their greatest talent apparently is the art of beating all of the lemmings to the cliff’s edge.
Obama’s Plan to Destroy Israel
If there’s one thing that the Carter Administration can be given credit for, it’s creating the new wave of Islamist terrorism, both Sunni, operating out of Afghanistan, and Shiite, operating out of Iran. The Carter Administration cracked down on Israel and put its “faith” in Muslim terrorists, who then went on to wage war on America, even while Carter was in office.
28 years after Carter was removed from office, we’re in reruns again with the Obama Administration, which is not only following the Carter line, but whose plans greatly exceed it. 28 years ago, Wahhabi Sunni and Shiite terrorists were generally an afterthought when compared to the standard USSR backed Marxist terrorist groups, such as the PLO.
Today, thanks in part to the Carter Administration, they control several countries and have designs on several more. From Pakistan to Afghanistan, from Gaza to Lebanon, from the Middle East to Southeast Asia, the threat is very real and bigger than ever particularly as the race by both Sunni and Shiite groups to build and deploy nuclear weapons continues.
Like Carter before him, Obama has chosen to cut backdoor deals with the Mullahs in Iran, offering them power over Iraq and Afghanistan, in exchange for quieting things down enough to let him hang up a Mission Accomplished banner and pull the troops out. “Peace with honor”, preferably before the next election. The rape law for Shiites in Afghanistan, the push for a US funded Hamas/Fatah Unity government in the territories and the rising expansion of the Taliban are all fruits of this arrangement.
If Iran is to be our new best friend under this arrangement, Israel is to be our new best enemy.
Obama stacked the deck by deploying Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State in a position that gave her an important title, but absolutely no power to go with it, while stacking the National Security Council and even the Pentagon with oil appointees in the pockets of the Saudis or his own left wing radical friends.
Israel electing a conservative government really put the ball into play, freeing up even more resources for attacking Israel. The strategy runs something like this.
The Obama Administration has broken down the Israel problem into two subsections, Israel itself, and American Jews.
Obama’s people have studied the problem and understand where Carter went wrong. Obama does not want to have the same image problems as Carter in the Jewish community. Should that happen, the Beloved Leader and his lapdog press are fully prepared to unleash a Chavez style hate-on targeting American Jews. But that would be inconvenient and messy. Even with the changing face of America, there are significant differences between the average American and European or Venezuelan, and what kind of ugliness they are willing to tolerate. So Obama’s people have split their attention in handling the two factors as two different problems.
American Jews - Obama has been clever about putting his Jewish appointees front and center. Like many minorities, some American Jews suffer from self-esteem problems that are soothed when they see a seeming acceptance. Of course what they fail to realize is that exploitation is not acceptance. And that Obama’s appointees are creatures of his backers, Nazi collaborators like Soros, who have nothing but contempt for Jews, individually or collectively.
While outwardly courting Jews, Obama’s people have also been quietly shoving Jewish organizations and their leaders into a corner. Within the Jewish organizational world there has been a silent but deadly takeover of major Jewish groups by left wing radicals. Former alumni of the far left wing and anti-Israel groups like Breira or Coname in the 70’s have been elevated to key positions in such organizations as the UJA Federation. Behind the scenes any Jewish leaders who expressed even doubts about Obama during the primaries were intimidated and silenced.
Much as with conservatives, a list has been drawn up of those figures who can be won over, and those who cannot. The ones who can be won over are described as “moderates”, the ones who cannot be won over are described as “extremists” .
Meanwhile a bevvy of left wing Jewish In Name Only groups have been organized to play their part. Key among them is the Soros funded J Street, a group created as an anti-Israel lobby meant to eventually replace AIPAC. Meanwhile AIPAC itself has been kept on the ropes with such things as the well timed Harman leak. The message once again is fairly clear, cooperate and keep quiet, or we’ll destroy you.
The multi-layered approach to American Jews can then be summed up as follows;
1.) Co-opt existing Jewish organizations and swing them to the left using old school 70’s leftists.
2.) Create new “progressive” organizations to appeal to a younger generation of ethnically Jewish youth detached from any actual identity. Have these organizations generate attacks on the Israeli government and pro-Israel Jews, while creating phony polls indicating that most American Jews are behind them and Obama.
3.) Silence and intimidate remaining Jewish organizations and leaders behind the scenes.
The overall idea is to keep a happy face pasted on American Jewry while the knives are out in the dark.
Israel - The basic understanding in the Obama Administration is that Israel Must Go. In the worldview of the more moderate Obama appointees, Israel is a destabilizing factor in the Middle East. To the more left wing Obama advisors, Israel is a Western imperialist colonialist state that must be destroyed in the name of revolutionary justice. To the Islamist mindset, Israel is a Kufir state that has no right to exist in the Dar Al Islam.
While intractably hostile to Israel, the Obama Administration wants to avoid the kind of public confrontations that marked the Carter and Bush Sr administrations. Instead they would much rather model the way that the Clinton Administration waged a quiet war against Israel, removing one government, and forcing extensive concessions to terrorists, all the while keeping a happy face pasted on the whole affair.
On the one hand that means avoiding harsh public attacks on Israel, but keeping the pressure up for Israel to make extensive far reaching one sided concessions, to accept Saudi and Arab League “peace plans”, to legitimize Hamas as the new government of the Palestinian Authority, and to insure that Israel does not reply to any rocket or terrorist attacks.
There are two forms of quiet leverage that the United States has on Israel, the first is financial and the second is military.
On the financial side, the goal will be to bring down the Netanyahu government coalition by destabilizing Israel economically. This is the surest and most direct path to bringing down Israel’s conservative government and replacing it with a left of center coalition. The Obama Administration has a wide variety of tactics at its disposal for doing so, from the overt, such as targeting Israeli exports and imports, to the covert, that would involve targeting the Shekel. Additionally fundraising in the US could be investigated and groups such as the Jewish National Fund, prevented from raising money in the US. All of these have been in play before at one time or another.
On the military side, Obama’s people will make their non-existent efforts to stop Iran’s nukes conditional on more concessions to terrorists. Since Israel will never be able to make enough concessions and since Obama is working with Iran, rather than working to stop Iran’s nukes, this is a hollow charade.
Furthermore while Israel has already been locked out of the military technology pipeline for anything cutting edge, it still remains dependent on US military equipment for parts and supplies. The decades of US foreign aid have also served to create dependency. Unlike many other countries, including even Sweden, Israel does not have its own jet fighter. Israel’s Air Force is heavily dependent on US weapons, parts and equipment. Cutting Israel off, would leave the Israeli military dangerously vulnerable in the case of a war. This is an effective chokehold that has been used before to prevent Israel from attacking Saddam Hussein during the Gulf War, as well as preventing Israel from carrying out a preemptive strike against its enemies before the Yom Kippur War.
The overall Obama policy will be to push Israel to the brink, using financial and military blackmail against the Netanyahu government, while maintaining control over American Jews to prevent any protests or backtalk.
The more Israel will offer, the more the Obama Administration will tighten the screws. No offer will be good enough, and Israel will be blamed for every breakdown in talks and every bit of violence that takes place. The media will portray Israel and particularly Netanyahu as extremist and intransigent. Hamas will be slowly whitewashed in the media, the same way that Arafat’s goons were, (assuming that they prove more willing to cooperate in creating a positive media image of themselves than Ahmadinejad is.)
The plan is to destroy Israel, and to do it by pushing Israel to the edge of the cliff and then over the cliff. Israel’s enemies will be getting top of the line US military equipment. Israel will not. Israel will be squeezed economically until the Netanyahu government collapses, leaving a weak left wing leader like Livni in charge of Israel, and in charge of acceding to the new Pharaoh’s demands.
Meanwhile so-called American Jewish groups will support Obama all the way, some because they were created precisely for that purpose, e.g. J-Street, and others because they have been hijacked, cowed or subverted.
That is the game plan and some of it’s coming. The rest is already here.

It’s no secret...NOBAMA is an antisemite...he has made it crystal clear what his positions are..
very sad
sad affair all around
i really think he and his kapo collaborators see Israel as the big dog and in their usual nonsensical zeal they see the dirty Palis as the underdog and instinctively side that way
and Obama is no doubt more friendly to the third world and Islam as a culture than anyone we've ever dreamed of as POTUS
he's the redeemer virtually
If he walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and says stupid lame things, you know he’s a liberal commie antisemite...
again I’m not sure, his domestic agenda sounds like a wishlist for most US Jewish electorate
they are fellow travelers
The American Jewish Electorate largly votes democrat no matter who is on the ticket, but there are a large number of religious Jews who vote down conservative lines....you can't lump them altogether..there are different sects, just like in Christianity.
I did not lump anyone together....but please spare me the equivocating parsing and qualifying....folsk are generalized about all the time and no one says a peep unless it’s generalizing about a “minority”
i was very specific...”most US Jewish electorate” (my exact words), since 80% voted for Barry I’d say that is fair
I don’t think Barry is an anti-semite but I do think he sees Israel as an equivocal bad guy in the middle east with disproportionate power, not a view I share obviously but then neither does that make him anti-semite by default
if he’s anti-semite then so are most Jews who voted for him as well as the plethora of Jews he’s surrounded himself with.
it’s like calling Orville Redenbacher anti-corn.
LOL, I see your point....not sure what the poll numbers are but I suspect you’re right...I must say, some folks are their own worst enemy, I don’t get them at all..I thank you for the clarification...and BTW, I love Tn...lived there for a couple of years...perhaps I misunderstood you, and BTW, I don’t usually get upset about generalizing a minority just that all this gets soooo very frustrating...feel like we’re turning our wheels towards a disaster...Please accept my apology if I took your comment wrong..
that post is save worthy
no worries though....a sad number of Brikie style kumbaya Christians have substituted being nice for being virtuous not much different
they worship the earth more than God.
Messianic humanism takes no prisoners does it?
