A former top US intelligence official warns that the Obama Administration is about to break America's long ties of friendship with Israel, and maybe even take steps toward the dissolution of the Jewish state.
Speaking on condition of anonymity to Douglas Hagmann of the Northeast Intelligence Network, the source said:
"I have every reason to believe, based on what I’ve seen at my level of [security] clearance especially over the last several years, that Israel will soon be completely on their own… or worse."
He went on to note that the betrayal likely won't happen in one dramatic moment, but rather subtly, behind the scenes, and over the course of several years.
The Obama Administration is preparing to "provide more support to Arab countries [with] financial and military aid, undercutting Israel’s defense efforts all while pushing Israel to succumb to the pressure of unreasonable demands designed to end with their political annihilation as a nation," said the source.
Israeli officials have of late noted a marked increase in the pressure from Washington to more rapidly acquiesce to Arab land-for-peace demands, and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has clarified that Washington is none to pleased with incoming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's refusal to commit to the creation of a sovereign Palestinian Arab state with Jerusalem as its capital.
I don’t believe he has any special antipathy for Israel. I do believe that he knows Israel has more to offer than Iran or a potential Palestine. It’s all well and good to think he’s Satan incarnate. Certainly his tendency to socialism and government dependence for the general populace puts him at odds with my conservative philosophy, but I don’t think he’s stupid, or so idealistic that he’ll tank his political future to destroy capitalism or Israel. He’s a survivor of one of the most vicious political machines in the country, Chicago. That is not a jungle that produces stupid predators.
Sad and disturbing indeed.
Sad and disturbing indeed.
Thanks for the ping!
Of course not. The Democrats are "the Jewish party." They protect the Jews from Bible-thumping bullies named Caleb and Jethro (not to mention Mephibosheth).
Besides, who needs a Jewish state in 'Eretz Yisra'el when abortion is the most "Jewish" thing in the world???
PS: The Democrats also used to be "the Catholic party." They protected Catholics from reincarnations of Oliver Cromwell with names like Cletus putting tracts under people's windshield wipers (a crime under the Geneva Convention for sure).
Priorities, people! [/sarcasm]
I think in time you learn this is a UN game of “verbals.” Nobody is gonna win. But James Baker turned the USA into the artist that “dropped the dead cat” ... forcing some of the stuff you see. As Israel tried to avoid having the DEAD CAT dumped on its doorstep.
Ehud Barak and Bibi Netanyahu both know their ways around the DC crowd. And, both got yelled at by American presidents, screaming into their faces. Nothing new, even if the names change. For Menachem Begin it was Jimmy Carter. Then it was the Clinton team for Bibi and Barak. Having been through this what they see is the huge change in Israel! Going from predominately Labor to CENTER-RIGHT.
If the GOP wasn’t locked in its own sad battles, we’d see a CENTER RIGHT in this country. But we won’t. Whether Obama talks himself blue in the face. Or not. HOWEVER, he can lose FLORIDA! In tight elections Florida matters.
Israel without its DC leash may be more potent than her foes realize.
A very astute observation.
Yep.
Yep.
That barely covers it. He is worse than that..
Hellbent aptly describes it..
rather amazing considering Obama probably is without question more surrounded by liberal (Communist in reality) Jews than any POTUS in my memory.
what is wrong with them?
dumb question I know....little less Marcuse and Alinsky and little more God...they outta know better..at least Old Covenant wise.. might help them..
around 80%.....higher % than Mexicans and less than Blacks
“The government of the State of Israel is totally secular. So in what sense is it a Jewish state?”
Israel, also known as Palestine and as The Holy Land, is the homeland of the Jewish PEOPLE. Throughout history everyone knew that. Jews are a people, a family, a nation, as well as a religion.
Meanwhile, Bibi seeks peace with the philistinians.
Mossad needs to take care of this.
This is old news, in fact, there’s a great book that’s been on the best seller list for years that touches on all this.
The Bible.
