Anti-Israel sharks sniff O's weakness
NY Post ^ | June 2, 2010 | Michael Goodwin

In the aftermath of the Gaza flotilla fiasco, the air is thick with nonsense. Chief among the instant myths is that Israel has created a dilemma for President Obama.

Actually, it's the other way around.

The president's appeasement policies helped to create the incident. Israel took the bait, but the trap was set in Washington.

Weakness always begets aggression, and, like clockwork, Obama's repeated signals that he is weakening America's commitment to Israel are emboldening the Jewish state's enemies. From Syria to Iran to Lebanon, from Hezbollah to Hamas and the PLO, the wolves smell blood and are trying to gauge whether they can get close enough for the kill.

And whether the United States will stop them. That they even dare hope we won't reflects the danger of Obama's demented decisions.

Obama via some of his deviant wacko peace mongers, had a hand in the failed invasion. It is his Bay of Pigs.

” Israel took the bait, but the trap was set in Washington. “

Even the estimable Mr. Goodwin has bought into the unconscious assumption that the Israeli Mission was to appease the Media and the Chattering Classes...

The Mission was to confront a direct challenge to Israel’s means of self-defense - Mission accomplished.

Obama is proving himself to be a huge genius afterall.

Of course, his great genius is evil in nature and expresses itself most evidently in "lying and obfuscation."

He tells everyone what they want to hear and, even when everything he says is in conflict, he just keeps on inventing new lies...and, amazingly, some people just eat it up.

But in the end, Obama hates America and Obama hates Israel.

Until he is removed from power, America and Israel are on a roller coaster to Hell.

See how well the following describes Obama...
...through his policy also he shall cause craft (lying and deceit) to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify [himself] in his heart, and by peace (weakness) shall destroy many...

Source: Daniel 8:25

He is disarming America, betraying our ally Israel, and refusing to defend our borders. He is destroying magnificently by peace.

This is a very precise modifier. Destruction rarely comes because an enemy has taken the reins of power in a target nation. As the old communists used to say, America will be destroyed from within. Looks like they knew what they were talking about.

"We're trying to break the blockade of the Gaza Strip and tell the world that Israel has no right to starve 1.5 million Palestinians," Greta Berlin, the head of an organization called Free Gaza Movement, said in typical exaggeration to a British newspaper.

Let’s get the picture folks. The elimination of Israel is in full force now that Israel’s enemies see the Obama Regime with weakened relations with Israel. With the perception that the United States is wavering in its alliance with Israel, the window of opportunity is open.
