. Much about President Obama's speech in Cairo has not been discussed. For example, he said Jerusalem should be a secure home for the three faiths there.
[Doesnt he know that it is, under Israeli control? Based on experience, it would not be, if removed from Israeli control.]
2. Obama wants Israel to expel the Jews from Judea-Samaria. He did not indicate whether he included part or all of Jerusalem in that demand. MK Yaakov Katz called the demand antisemitic, because it discriminates against Jews [while accepting the Arab presence in Israel]. Telling them they cant add rooms to a house in the whole area is like telling them they cant have more children. MK Katz noted that some of Obamas advisers are Jews, but that that does not mitigate the anti-Jewish policy with which they concur.
[Obama still makes drastic demands without explaining why Arabs and not Jews would be entitled to that area, nor why the U.S. interferes. Not mentioning Jerusalem is a cagey way of stating demands lower key, so as not to alarm as many people. Vague demands leave the door open for more demands.]
3. The Arabs of Judea, Samaria, and Gaza were called a separate people. [I have written often that they are not. Relatively recently they claimed to be, in order to bolster their claim to it. Obama is repeating the big lie.]
4. President Obama said that just as the Holocaust cannot be denied, Israel must recognize the right of Arabs to a PA state, which he called Palestine. Israeli MK Eldad thought the comparison false. The Jews were innocent victims of prejudice. The Arabs attempted to do what the Nazis did, but lost their war. Any subsequent Arab suffering from that debacle is their own fault
[The Holocaust is s fact. The right of Arabs to another state in Palestine is not a fact. It is the goal of some, based on curbing the Jews right of statehood, recognized under international law, in the Palestine Mandate, and seeking to facilitate the conquest of Israel. The case against another Arab state never was acknowledged publicly by the U.S. government.]
5. President Obama insisted that Israel must live up to its obligations for economic opportunity for Arabs and implicitly compared the situation of Arabs with that of blacks in 19th and early 20th century America.
[Which Arabs? What obligation has Israel to provide for them? They are trying to bring down Israel. Why should Israel help the enemy economy? Comparing Arabs with blacks implies falsely that Israel represses the Arabs. This is unfair of Obama, even malicious.]
6. He also demanded a total halt to terrorism, warning that moral authority is not claimed by rockets and bus bombings, but held out the opportunity for the Hamas terrorist organization to deny violence and recognize Israel.
[Since the U.S. continues to subsidize terrorists, his warning is lip service for domestic politics. It reduces his own moral authority. Inviting Hamas to deny violence and recognize Israel is fatuous. Hamas exists for violence, for conquest of Israel, and for imposing a global caliphate upon the world. If Obama doesnt know that, he isnt fit to be President. If he does know, well, thats unthinkable!]
7. Obama described the Muslim religion as one that emphasizes the idea of religious tolerance MK Eldad thought it foolish to anticipate that sacrificing Israel for an Arab state would resolve distant problems with Islam, such as in Darfur, India, and Europe (http://www.israelnationalnews.com/ -- Arutz-7. 6/4).
Obama claims to understand Islam, but he got that key aspect wrong. Islam emphasizes conquest of other faiths and humiliation of Christians and Jews.
How much slack should we cut Obama, in his attempt to cool off Islamic annoyance with the U.S.? I think he could make his point without lying. He lies a lot. I think he cools off the U.S. too much, making it less alert to the menace of jihad. His strategy would sacrifice Israel to the Muslims. Success in one theater facilitates and rouses Muslim attempts to triumph elsewhere. Obama endangers the U.S..

Obama has all sorts of Catholics in his play pen, but they are all liberal, pro-abort types. Still, it is enough to get Obama to give the pope a brief audience (as Laura Ingraham reminds us) /sarc.
Obama claims to understand Islam, but he got that key aspect wrong. Islam emphasizes conquest of other faiths and humiliation of Christians and Jews....and Hindus, and Buddhists, and Taoists, and other sects of Islam, and racial minorites, and women...
