Many a Truth: Obama Says 'I Don't Worry About Israel's Survival'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/09/2014 7:35:43 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Today's New York Times op-ed page includes a wide-ranging interview on foreign policy that Thomas Friedman conducted with President Obama. Let's break down some of the low-lights. Excerpts from interview in italics, with my comments following. And sure, when President Obama said "I don't worry about Israel's survival," he explained his insouciance in terms of Israel's military might. But was he telling a deeper truth?

Obama made clear that he is only going to involve America more deeply in places like the Middle East to the extent that the different communities there agree to an inclusive politics of no victor/no vanquished.

LOL. Yup, lions laying down with lambs any day now. So is Obama really saying that the US will not be involved in the Middle East ever again? And how does he square his statement with the attack he ordered on ISIS? Isn't that all about vanquishing them?

More after the jump.

This creepy fraud DOES want a winner -— the Muslim Brotherhood. And he, like all Muslims, would like to see Israel driven into the sea. Bob

That is because Obama doesn’t plan on Israel surviving past his term in office.

To this destructive menace’s thinking, Israel is just another “colonial power” oppressing his Muslim swine brothers in the Middle East.

More people should read D’Nesh D’Souza’s books. Then they might finally get it. Obama is waging a war from withing against what he views as an economic racist colonial power - the United States, along with all its allies.

No winners...
Meaning we make no moral judgement and therefore do not actively defend the principles of freedom and liberty and justice.

What then IS America?
Define for me an America that does not stand for these principles?

very true.

I will say it again Qatar is behind all of this. Our Sunni Muslim Kenyan dictator has let thousands of Christians get slaughtered in Syria and Iraqi along with his Iranian born Boss Valarie. This traitor gave Issi the weapons in Syria and actually let Issi steal the US weapons given to the Iraqi military. The FBI needs to sweep the WH or Martha Vineyard and arrest all these American enemies .

Not likely. The FBI reports to Eric Holder and is busy keeping tabs on domestic terrorists like Tea Partiers, returning vets, Christians, and conservatives.

Per PamelaGeller.com...
Adul Gheit [Egyptian Foreign Sec. in 2010] said he had a one-on-one meeting with Obama, where the US President told him that He was still a Muslim, the son of a Muslim father, the step son of Muslim stepfather, that his half brothers in Kenya are Muslims, and that he was sympathetic towards the Muslim agenda.

Adul Gheit claimed Obama told the Arabs to show patience. Obama promised that once he overcame some domestic issues, like the Health care reform, he would show the Muslim World how to deal with Israel.

Source: Israeli magazine, Israel today.

This is akin to an SS officer getting elected president during WW II. Every country in the free world must be cognizant of such a catastrophic sea change in the leadership of the free world (as witnessed by events over the past year). This changes everything. He took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, and yet he has gone around the world promoting Islam, the sharia (Islamic law).

The only thing Captain Midnight worries about is when it’s time to go on vacation and when is tee time.

Like father, like son. Everybody who voted for Obama, and will never admit you were wrong, may you suffer a thousand deaths at the hands of muslims. And I included EVERYBODY.

I can imagine how the Founding Fathers and the patriots who supported them felt, hoping for France to help them. Who will help us now?

We know Barry. We know. About the only thing you do “worry” about is coming up with ways to steal money from hardworking, middle class Americans.

Obama — the most successful POTUS ever.

He promised hope and change and he delivered.
