From Arab Spring to Springtime for Hitler
Townhall.com ^ | November 2, 2011 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 11/02/2011 6:56:11 AM PDT by Kaslin

There are reports out of Washington, D.C., this week that the Obama administration is in a regular tizzy about the possibility that Israel will strike Iran's nuclear facilities without U.S. help or permission. According to a senior State Department official, the Obama administration is so worried that Israel will go it alone that they are finally placing pressure on China and Russia to sanction Iran more strictly.

Such pressure will accomplish precisely nothing, just as it has since the ascendancy of the ayatollahs. Iran does not care about economic pressure. As a fascist religious state, their concern is strictly with fulfillment of their cataclysmic destiny -- in short, with the mass genocide of the Jews in Israel. Benjamin Netanyahu knows that, which is why he has been bringing home hostages such as Gilad Shalit in anticipation of an attack on Iran. When that attack takes place, Netanyahu knows, every Jew in Muslim territory will be endangered.

Why the sudden urgency from Israel with regard to Iran? The answer doesn't lie in any sort of upswing in Iranian nuclear capabilities -- they've been steadily progressing toward nuclear weaponry for years. The answer lies in President Obama's support for Islamist regimes across the Middle East. The Arab Spring, it turns out, wasn't a nice, happy democratic socialist revolution. It was an Islamist revolution of the worst sort, toppling brutal dictators with whom we could deal with in favor of populist Islamist movements that we cannot.

And Obama stands behind all of it. It started with his invitation to members of the Muslim Brotherhood -- the supposedly moderate group that stands behind Hamas, Hezbollah, al-Qaida and virtually every other terrorist entity in the region -- to attend his speech in Cairo in 2009. His words in Cairo emboldened Islamists; his appeasement rhetoric suggested that the conflict between Western civilization and radical Islam is a mere misunderstanding, and just a few days before that, his statements calling America "one of the largest Muslim countries in the world," told Islamists that they had nothing to fear from the United States.

That was doubly true for Iran. America's policy on Iran has been feckless for the better part of three decades. At least President Bush made noises about taking action against Iran; Obama made clear from the outset that he would do nothing about Iran. In the presidential debates, he said he would meet with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad; since Obama's ascendance to the White House, Ahmadinejad has visited the United States repeatedly, speaking to the U.N. and Columbia University.

So when protests broke out in Tunisia, it was no surprise that the United States provided its tentative backing. Obama "applaud(ed) the courage and dignity of the Tunisian people," even as their secular dictator fled. The replacement? A democratically-elected Islamist government. When those Islamist-backed protests spread to Egypt, Obama threw over American ally Hosni Mubarak in a heartbeat. He was replaced by Islamic theocrats who proceeded to provide backing for Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Then, when Islamist forces began attacking Muammar Gaddafi's forces in Libya, Obama provided air support to their campaign, despite reports that al-Qaida members were prominent in the anti-Gaddafi ranks. Now Islamists will run Libya, too.

No wonder Israel worries. If Jordan falls, Israel will have Islamists on all of its borders. Meanwhile, the United States will do nothing to prevent Iran, the mother lode of evil in today's world, from going nuclear.

Perhaps if Obama had shown half as much worry about the turn of the Middle East towards Islamism that he now shows towards an attack on Islamist nuclear facilities, we wouldn't be in this situation. Israel wouldn't stand alone. But it does, and it will, against all odds. May the Hitlerian Arab Spring end the same way as Hitler's empire did: in utter failure, buried beneath its own ashes.

The Russians are also selling Iran some next-generation radar jamming and anti-aircraft equipment. Bibi is no doubt eager to make the strikes before those are operational.

Message to Israel - ignore Obama.

He is concerned about no one’s interests but his own.

Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left
by David Horowitz

Amazon Book Review:
"Vastly Illuminating!" September 25, 2004
By Kat Bakhu

"I had long wondered why people on the Left had the propensity to speak more positively about people who would slit their throats than they do about their own country, which affords them more freedom and opportunity than anywhere else. David Horowitz has answered that question thoroughly and convincingly in his Unholy Alliance. Where I felt bewildered and confused, I now feel crystal clear. Unholy Alliance is such a great book.

It begins with the leftist movements at the beginning of the 20th Century, and works its way up to the present day, exploring the anti-American attitude of these movements in detail. Horowitz shows that the enemies of the US back then are largely the same group today, operating under the same misperceptions, making the same mistakes, and pursuing the same impossible utopia.

Individual chapters are included on the Patriot Act (I was persuaded that it is a GOOD thing); the democratic flip-flop on Iraq once G.W. Bush implemented what they agreed with Clinton needed to be done; the driving components of the current anti-war movement; as well as chapters on individual personalities who are major spokespeople of the Left. Horowitz covers a lot of ground, and he covers it concisely and clearly. Unholy Alliance is richly informative without ever being boring or plodding.

This book is so illuminating that I simply cannot do justice to it here. I love people who reason so clearly that they help me get my own reasoning clear. Horowitz is just that type of person! In the terrain of mindless clichés (no-blood-for-oil, etc.), he is a breath of real fresh air."

Not all dissent is equal, and Americans whose actions are calculated to give aide and comfort to the butchers who murdered 3,000 innocent people on September 11, 2001 are not patriotic at all... they are, in fact, quite the opposite.
