Obama to Israel: Put Terrorism in Context

Washington, D.C. (July 22, 2008) -- The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) issued the following statement today:

"Senator Obama in Jordan today said that terrorism makes 'Israelis want to dig in and simply think about their own security regardless of what's going on beyond their borders.' What Senator Obama fails to recognize is that the safety and security of its citizenry is the primary obligation of a country's leadership.

In essence, Senator Obama is asking Israelis and the American Jewish community to put terrorism in context. Senator Obama continues his rhetoric of moral equivalence by implying that measures taken by Israel to protect its citizens are on par with the Palestinians' frustration at border checkpoints. Senator Obama's attempt at even-handed diplomacy fails to hold Palestinians accountable for using terrorist tactics against innocent Israeli citizens as a means to achieve their ends."

Yes we are going to get some great comments from the Messiah during his trip to the Middle East. Can't wait to hear and read his comments when he visit's the West Bank.

Hey, if an obligation to provide for the common defense were so important, our own Constitution would say something about that — right up front!

Senator Obama,

You are talking to a people who had 6 million+ murdered for the sake of racial purity, and are living surrounded on 3 sides by people who have vowed to exterminate all of the Jews.

You are in no position to lecture Israel on how to look at terrorism.

'Israelis want to dig in and simply think about their own security regardless of what's going on beyond their borders

True, they hardly give the palestinians a fair chance to kill Jewish children.

It's really not fair.

“’Israelis want to dig in and simply think about their own security regardless of what’s going on beyond their borders.’”

Aye me. As if they’re supposed to not engage in self defense. This guy is making serious enemies. People who do not take kindly to being lectured.

Posted to another thread yesterday, but fits here as well:

“I expect this sort of thing out of Obama anymore. If he didn’t do arrogant, self centered, egotistical, downright stupid at least once a day, I’d think I was missing something.”

By saying this to the Israelis, isn’t he also saying to New Yorkers to put terrorism into context?

The liberals world of relativist morality, where putting underwear on a man’s head is more outrageous than sawing it off with a dull bread knife, and the rules of conduct depend entirely on WHO’S conduct you’re talking about.

The only thing the Obamessiah is capable of is lecturing. Of course people don’t take it well; let’s expect many many more will be outraged at Obambi’s continuing “audacity.”

What a BONE-HEAD idea, Obama, do you sit on your brain?

So the Jews should consider the “context” of defending themselves versus the preservation of their country?

This sounds an awful lot like what the Europeans were telling Czechoslovakia prior to Munich in 1938 - the Czechs should consider the well-being of Europe instead of being so stubborn about retaining the Sudetenland. Just give Hitler what he wants and we will have peace.

Unfortunately, many of them have. See the NY Times, which caters to them.

Hey B. Hussein, I'll give you context for Islamic terrorism against Israel.

Muslims want a judenfrei Middle East.

In the U.S. he can get away with his stupidity because the media, the RNC, McCain and the Messiah followers don’t call him on it.

The Israeli’s and the Israeli Press will bring it into the open and pounce on anything he says against them.

The next couple of days will be fun as the Israeli’s do John McCain’s work for him....
