In a Rosh Hashanah greeting to Jews the world over, U.S. President Barack Obama called for the rejection of "the impulse to harden ourselves to others' suffering," urging empathy and "compassion to those in need."

The first African-American president also called for resistance to "prejudice, intolerance and indifference" and for a strong stance against what he described as "the scourge of anti-Semitism, which is still prevalent in far too many corners of our world."

Obama also expressed the desire to "work to achieve lasting peace and security for the state of Israel, so that the Jewish state is fully accepted by its neighbors, and its children can live their dreams free from fear."

Oh Lord, may you bless and keep the Obama and his Czars.....

far away from us.

Will Obama have a dinner at the WH celebrating Rosh Hashanah?

[nikos1121]

Excuse me. In the president’s Ramadan message he spoke at length about the holiday and it’s meaning. I’m curious,

Did the president give the same level of reverence and understanding of Rosh Hashanah?

[MainFrame65]

Yeah. To celebrate your special Jewish holiday, all you Joooos put down your weapons, shut up, and line up at the cattle cars for transportation to your final destination. Don’t forget to bring all of your treasures, to pay for the trip....

I know he does not believe in prayer, at least Christian prayer. We know he supports infanticide, he wants any reference to Christ out of the public square, schools etc. We know he wants judges on the supreme court that are anti Christian.

Yes this is the man that should speak of intolerance etc.

[Nachum]

IMHO, no. The video is at the link. See for yourself.

I too pray for peace before and during Rosh Hashanah. After Rosh Hashanah, I would like Israel to release the dogs of war.

[nikos1121]

Just as I thought. The man did the same thing for Easter by coupling it with Passover and not saying a word about Christ. He spoke reverently on Ramadan about Mohammed, but spoke about Peace during Easter and Passover.

This guy is total BS. Total conman.

Oh, Lord, may you bless and keep Obama and his czars ... far away from us.

LOL! It's a takeoff on a line from the play "Fiddler on the Roof," but I'm not sure if that was the original source.

Obama...called for the rejection of the "impulse to harden ourselves to others' suffering," urging "empathy and compassion to those in need."

Empathy and compassion? Obama should try some on his own half-brother in Kenya, the one who lives in a primitive hut, before he lectures others.

[Obama] ... called for ... a strong stance against what he described as "the scourge of anti-Semitism, which is still prevalent in far too many corners of our world."

He need not look any farther to find anti-Semitism than Rev. Wright and his church in Chicago, the one Obama himself attended for more than a decade!

Lol! I second that!
