No less problematic, the reference to ending "the occupation that began in 1967" puts history on its head, as it implies, perhaps unintentionally, that Israel's occupation of the West Bank is the cause of the Arab-Israeli conflict. This clearly inverts cause and effect.

And yet, American Jews overwhelmingly voted for this anti-semite. I cannot fathom their thinking.

Obama is a Muslim and an idiot. That’s a double whammy for Israel.

He like most of America and the world, doesn’t care at all about facts or history.

unintentional, my A$$, there is nothing unintentional with this guy. Only when
the teleprompter is broke or AWOL. He's too scripted for this to be an oversite.

How on Earth did Obama get to speak at the UN when he was only 7 years old?

Or, who wrote the erroneous title to this piece?

Obama’s only goal is to put Israel at a serious disadvantage any way he can.

Israel could set a trap for Obama by seemingly cave in to every single demand of the Arabs.

Then watch Obama go racing to the Arabs with bells on and with a big happy grin.

Then the Jewish people can say - you would, wouldn't you?

BUSTED!

Netanyahu at his best.....

Even those who aren't particularly sympathetic to Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu, could get a good measure of satisfaction from this interview with British Television during the retaliation against Hamas’ shelling of Israel.

The interviewer asked him: “How come so many more Palestinians have been killed in this conflict than Israelis?” (A nasty question if there ever was one!)

Netanyahu: “Are you sure that you want to start asking in that direction?”

Interviewer: (Falling into the trap) Why not?

Netanyahu: “Because in World War II more Germans were killed than British and Americans combined, but there is no doubt in anyone’s mind that the war was caused by Germany's aggression. And in response to the German blitz on London, the British wiped out the entire city of Dresden, burning to death more German civilians than the number of people killed in Hiroshima.

Moreover, I could remind you that in 1944, when the R.A.F. tried to bomb the Gestapo Headquarters in Copenhagen, some of the bombs missed their target and fell on a Danish children's hospital, killing 83 little children. Perhaps you have another question?”

Apparently, Benjamin Netanyahu gave another interview and was asked about Israel's occupation of Arab lands. His response was, “It's our land”.

The reporter (CNN or the like) was stunned - “It's our
land...”

It's important information since we don't get fair and accurate reporting from the media and facts tend to get lost in the jumble of daily events.

“Crash Course on the Arab-Israeli Conflict.”

Here are overlooked facts in the current & past Middle East situation. These were compiled by a Christian university professor:

*BRIEF FACTS ON THE ISRAELI CONFLICT TODAY...
It makes sense and it's not slanted. Jew and non-Jew — it doesn't matter.

1. Nationhood and Jerusalem: Israel became a nation in 1312 BC, two thousand (2000) years before the rise of Islam.

2. Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a Palestinian people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the modern State of Israel.

3. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 BC, the Jews have had dominion over the land for one thousand (1000) years with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years.

4. The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 lasted no more than 22 years.

5. For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital. Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem, they never sought to make it their capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit.

6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy Scriptures. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran.

7. King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came ** to Jerusalem.

8. Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their backs toward Jerusalem.

9. Arab and Jewish Refugees: in 1948 the Arab refugees were encouraged to leave Israel by Arab leaders promising to purge the land of Jews. Sixty-eight percent left (many in fear of retaliation by their own brethren, the Arabs), without ever seeing an Israeli soldier. The ones who stayed were afforded the same peace, civility, and citizenship rights as everyone else.

10. The Jewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab brutality, persecution and pogroms.

11. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated to be around 630,000. The number of Jewish refugees from Arab lands is estimated to be about 800,000.

12. Arab refugees were INTENTIONALLY not absorbed or integrated into the Arab lands to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory. Out of the 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own people's lands. Jewish refugees were completely absorbed into Israel, a country no larger than the state of New Jersey.

13. The Arab-Israeli Conflict: the Arabs are represented by twenty two separate nations, not including the Palestinians. There is only one Jewish nation. The Arab nations initiated all five wars and lost. Israel defended itself each time and won.

14. The PLO’s Charter still calls for the destruction of the State of Israel. Israel has given the Palestinians most of the West Bank land, autonomy under the Palestinian Authority, and has supplied them.

15. Under Jordanian rule, Jewish holy sites were desecrated and the Jews were denied access to places of worship. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and Christian sites have been preserved and made accessible to people of all faiths.

16. The UN Record on Israel and the Arabs: of the 175 Security Council resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel.

17. Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were directed against Israel.

18. The UN was silent while 58 Jerusalem synagogues were destroyed by the Jordanians.

19. The UN was silent while the Jordanians systematically desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives.

20. The UN was silent while the Jordanians enforced an apartheid-like a policy of preventing Jews from visiting the Temple Mount and the Western Wall.

Fortunately, the Jewish people DO remember history. They will “go it alone” (humanly speaking, of course) if other nations like the US abandon them.

Obama is rapidly being recognized as the doormat of history. Jimmy Carter is nearly orgasmic that he will not go to the grave as the biggest idiot ever to occupy 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Even SNL is making fun of Obama now for being unable to accomplish anything.

You are correct

Unfortunately there is a huge divide between NYC and Israel

Obama’s greatest concern if he backs radical Islam should be that some years from now he may have attempt to run and hide in South America - as several did after WWII

[Unfortunately there is a huge divide between NYC and Israel]

What does NYC have to do with it other than the UN being located there?

So you’d let Israel die for the foolishness of American Jewry?

Catholics voted for Obama, too... so maybe we ought to carpetbomb the Vatican, while you’re at it.
