The Crisis Has Exploded (Obama and Israel)
Commentary ^ | John Podhoretz

Posted on 03/21/2015 4:18:27 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Today, the president of the United States told the prime minister of Israel he was reassessing America’s “options” with regard to Israel in light of remarks Benjamin Netanyahu made about potential Palestinian statehood and an election-day Facebook post urging Israeli right-wingers to go to the polls on Monday to counter a surge in Israeli Arab voters.

The crisis in the relationship we discuss in our new editorial statement has entered a new and potentially unprecedented phase.

It may well be that the president is going to present American Jews with a choice over the coming months no American president should ask us to make—to become parties to and participants in his effort to create what, in 2009, he called “daylight” between the U.S. and Israel.

That’s what I’ve been shouting to the mountain tops! But because conservatives have become so intimidated by political correctness, no one (other than Mark Levin) will come right out and say it!!!

It’s high time the GOP get its act together with their own talking points and come out in UNISON and call Obama exactly what he is: ANTI-SEMITIC! We have many examples to prove it too - starting with belonging to Reverend Wright’s “God Damned America” church!

Put this enemy of our country on the hot seat for ONCE and attack him for what he is - Anti-Semitic! Now THAT would even make the mainstream news!!!!!!!

Obama is basically saying — “I used to hate your country, and I longed for its destruction. Then, the election happened, and I failed to utterly crush you. I am now re-assessing my views toward Israel. I’m going to see if I can hate you even more.”

In the hockey fight between Obama and Netanyahu, Bibi has Obama's shirt pulled over his head, and is landing head-punch after head-punch, while Obama is flailing wildly.

How can you not love it? He's so deserving.

The only way this can get any better is for Obama to drop his commie mask.

Excellent idea, so they won't do it.

They lie about Republicans, calling us "racists," without a shred of evidence. It's disgusting. But Obama really is anti-Semitic.

It is obvious our Sissy Boy pResident has a thing for un-circumcised men. He lets Putin and the Iranian Mullahs humiliate him and play him like a bitch and all he does is back up and bend over or go scurrying back to them on his knees to let their balls play the bongos on his chin.

On the other hand, let Bibi try to save the world from those same scumbags and our Marxist, Mooslim, Kenyan, Steaming Pant Load Sissy Boy all of a sudden becomes a "spitter".

Please there is no comparison between Obama and Hitler. Obama is just nuts! Hitler suffered from a VD affected brain. obama’s brain is just affected by stupidity and hatred of America. elections do have consequences! The only issue there needs to be a concern, will Obama declare martial law in 2016, end elections and declare himself leader and the USA becomes a dictatorship

“Please there is no comparison between Obama and Hitler. Obama is just nuts!”

I have often said that we are fortunate that Obama is no Hitler. Obama does not have the drive, the work ethic, the military experience, or the geopolitical knowledge that Hitler had.

But I do not believe that Obama is nuts. Everything he is doing makes sense from the world view that he has espoused. His basic premises are false, that is the problem.

Israel backed into a corner and without friends is a very dangerous animal indeed. Obama will learn the hard way that Israel wants an alliance with the US but will take care of its own business with our without our friendship.

Hate to say this, but it just might be time with America already emasculated, that the people come out and accuse Obama of being a Muslim and an Israel hating anti-Semite.

Jarrett was born in Iran. We know about Farrakhan and Wright. We saw what his adminstration has done I’m the middle east. And now this.

You know, to save Anerica I would gladly be called a racist and wear the label proudly. As a matter of fact, Racist should go into our lexicon and defined as liberal response for being caught in a lie.

The Bible says Israel will stand alone in the end, that the whole world will be against them. United Nations?

American Jews face a crisis of their own making. The secular crowd seems to be embarrassed by Israel. Now they will be faced with the prospect of a profoundly weakened Israel because they were too weak to not vote for Obama.

Israeli jews have had to accept the reality that military force is what keeps a nation intact.

Secular American Jews cling to a Kumbaya liberalism that claims that pacifism will work, no matter what. It is a basic denial of reality.

Hitler did not have VD and, regards the accusation that he might have had syphilis, there is also only rank speculation.

It is doubtful that Hitler had any STD because he wasn't particularly sexually active at any time in his life.

Absolutely!!!! People look at Obama’s actions and say he’s stupid, crazy, childish...

He is none of that...People are looking at it from the view of what they would think of doing...

Obama is a cold, calculating Muslim doing exactly what he set out to do. He has been extremely clever in the way he has gone about it...He has insulated himself with his minions in the White House and our Congress has become so afraid of him that they refuse to do anything...

Unless something is done, we are toast...

Looks like the Russians will be taking the lead in the middle east.

Some might, lived with them for months as an adviser to Saudi military during Desert Storm. Not like I spent a lot of time checking but shower / latrine experience didn’t see a one clipped.
