Obama Sinks Israel
Townhall.com ^ | November 27, 2013 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 11/27/2013 11:42:45 AM PST by Kaslin

This week, President Barack Obama doomed Israel to a choice between unpalatable options: either striking at Iran's nuclear facilities in its own defense and thereby internationally isolating itself, or watching as its most ardent enemy goes nuclear. The deal, put into place with Iran by the Obama administration, allows Iran to continue developing nuclear-enrichment processes, encompasses virtually no real monitoring standards and grants cash to a regime busily preparing for a second Holocaust.

Obama made the conscious decision to shove Israel into this corner for two reasons. First, because he is an egotist determined to divert attention from his domestic political woes. Second, because he is a hard-core, anti-Israel fanatic who believes that Israeli power represents the chief threat to peace in the Middle East.

The first rationale explains Obama's timing. After years of flirting with Iran -- a flirtation dating all the way back to his presidential campaign of 2008, during which he said he would engage in direct negotiations with the Islamic theocracy without preconditions - Obama culminated the burgeoning relationship with a rammed-through deal leaving Iran in control of its own nuclear destiny. Why the sudden rush? With his poll numbers dropping precipitously and his signature program, Obamacare, dragging down his presidency, Obama needed a big win.

The media duly delivered this to Obama by proclaiming his diplomatic blunder an enormous victory. Ignoring the fact that Obama tacitly gave Iran the right to nuclear development in contravention of all United Nations' resolutions and the best interests of the United States, The New York Times proclaimed, "No one can seriously argue that it doesn't make the world safer." The newspaper also called Israel's dismay at the deal "extremist" and "theater," and even admitted that the Iran deal acted as a "welcome change of subject" for Obama.

The Obama administration, meanwhile, rapidly erected a series of straw men designed to make the president look like a tower of strength rather than the appeaser he is. Secretary of State John Kerry immediately stated that those who opposed the deal thought war should be the "first option" -- an odd proclamation, given Israel's repeated desire to delay action. Obama himself said that the time for "tough talk and bluster" was over -- as though harsh sanctions backed by the threat of force were a bluff. (Which, apparently, they were.)

Though none of this explains why Obama wanted to make a deal in the first place. Yes, it was a convenient distraction -- but the president of the United States can always find a way to shift the political narrative.

The truth is that the president despises Israel and always has. He has spent his entire adult life surrounded by Israel-haters, from Professor Derrick Bell to Reverend Jeremiah Wright, from former Palestine Liberation Organization spokesman Rashid Khalidi to Jimmy Carter's former National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski. His current ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, has suggested that the United States ought to place troops on Israeli ground to protect Palestinians from those brutal Jews.

Obama's administration has repeatedly leaked Israeli national security information in order to stop Israel from striking Iran, and Obama himself forced Netanyahu to apologize to the government of Turkey for stopping its flotilla, directed toward helping the terrorist group Hamas, in the Gaza Strip. The Obama administration sees Israel building homes in its capital city of Jerusalem as more of a threat to peace than Iran building nukes.

Obama's political philosophy dictates that Israel is a colonialist outpost offending the locals -- an unfortunate hangover from the Holocaust instead of a historic Jewish dream and possession. Obama's belief system suggests that Middle Eastern conflict springs not from religious and cultural differences but from Jewish intransigence. So Israel must be stopped. And if that means arming Iran, Obama is happy to do it. If he can while simultaneously winning himself a second Nobel Peace Prize and distracting people from his failed domestic tenure, so much the better.

Stopping Israel is a deflection from the logical conclusion of Obama’s beliefs and plans. He would destroy Israel and kill the Jews.

Just think about how many American Jews think 0bama’s the greatest.

I guess it is only in this way that they believe they can atone for being slaughtered....by being slaughtered. They have to ratify the aims of Nazism. Pretty twisted.

When John Bolton suggested that the top 10 floors of the UN should be removed, I think he was sadly mistaken. Should have said the top 10 floors of the NY Slimes building.

Very simple. Obama has put his and the United States directly in God's judgement. Very simple:

Genesis 12:

1 Now the Lord said to Abram,

"Go forth from your country,

And from your relatives

And from your father's house,

To the land which I will show you;(That would be ISRAEL!!!!! Obama!!! It is GOD's Land. Not yours to give away!!!)

2 And I will make you a great nation,

And I will bless you,

And make your name great;

And so you shall be a blessing;

3 And I will bless those who bless you,

And the one who curses you I will curse.

And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed."

I say build the disintegrator weapon that Herbert Lom used on the UN building in one of the Pink Panther movies and let life imitate art.

PS to my #9 post: Thus we, America, are cursed!! Unless we get on our knees and REPENT!!! THAT America is the ONLY way to be saved. Your choice. Free choice. Accept it, believe it, be saved. Otherwise, JUDGMENT! Whether you want to agree with it. Whether you think it is true. Whether you think Christians are crackpots. Whether you do not believe in God or not. IT WILL STILL HAPPEN.

He despises Israel, Christianity, the USA, Europe. There is one segment of the world that he loves. It’s the segment that hates us and has vowed to destroy us.

I’ve skipped to the end of the Book. Israel will be OK.
The enemies of Israel however....not so much.

"What happens when waxing Godwinian is correct?"

If it happens on Obama's watch, he will express platitudinous shock, shed a crocodile tear, make a token gesture toward the survivors, demand diplomatic talks .. and turn immediately back to screwing over the USA and whatever remains of Western civilization.

If, that is, there are no surviving members of the Mossad’s hit teams who lost family in an Iranian attack. If there are...he won’t be doing much other than pushing up daisies. That is not a threat (I have never been a member of a Mossad hit team), just my well-considered opinion.

And lots of Jews voted for him, indicating they love socialism more than Israel.
