Obama's Treatment of Israel is Shocking
RealClearPolitics ^ | March 29, 2010 | Ed Koch

Posted on 03/29/2010 5:09:05 PM PDT by Seizethecarp

President Obama's abysmal attitude toward the State of Israel and his humiliating treatment of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is shocking. In the Washington Post on March 24th, Jackson Diehl wrote, "Obama has added more poison to a U.S.-Israeli relationship that already was at its lowest point in two decades. Tuesday night the White House refused to allow non-official photographers record the president's meeting with Netanyahu; no statement was issued afterward. Netanyahu is being treated as if he were an unsavory Third World dictator, needed for strategic reasons but conspicuously held at arms length. That is something the rest of the world will be quick to notice and respond to."

I have not heard or read statements criticizing the president by New York Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand or many other supporters of Israel for his blatantly hostile attitude toward Israel and his discourtesy displayed at the White House.

President George W. Bush made it a point of protecting Israel at the United Nations and the Security Council wielding the U.S. veto against the unfair actions and sanctions that Arab countries sought to impose to cripple and, if possible, destroy, the one Jewish nation in the world. Now, in my opinion, based on the actions and statements by President Obama and members of his administration, there is grave doubt among supporters of Israel that President Obama can be counted on to do what presidents before him did - protect our ally, Israel. The Arabs can lose countless wars and still come back because of their numbers. If Israel were to lose one, it would cease to exist.

Ed, you share the blame.

You pimped yourself for Obama and now the fruits of your labors are being spewing across the world.

If he’s still alive, Koch will vote for Obama again in 2012.
He has done this for decades. He will sound sensible for three years, and all of a sudden he will do a 180 during the election year. This is about the 20th time I have read an article like this from Ed Koch in the last 25 years, and every time he supports the most leftist candidates during the election, and then acts surprised afterwards.

Ed supported him, knowing that he attended church that based it's social outlook on Black Liberation Theology - so you get exactly what you deserve!
Unfortunately for USA, if Obama pushes Israel on Jerusalem, God's hand may step in as He has promised to break “into pieces” any nation that tries to remove the struggle over Jerusalem from the world. (as quoted here on FR from Ezekiel).

Bravo, Ed Koch! Thanks Seizethecarp.

It’s typical Chicago pimping program, taking the kosher from Israel and the Jews, calling it racist, and then force feeding the jews pig excrements. OBama is a homosexual, he peddles poor quality gay jobs, and when that does not work, he forces the clients to pay to be raped.

“If he’s still alive, Koch will vote for Obama again in 2012.”

Just like all those “brilliant” independents out there.
(They always feel “brilliant” when they pull that Democrat lever in the booth.)

IMHO

Exactly. And many of us here predicted this would happen long before the boy king was elected. It isn’t shocking at all.

Shocked??

There’s gambling going on here?

How can any INFORMED person be shocked at his mistreatment of Israel’s leader? It is completely consistent with who he is.

I’ve been sending articles detailing obamanation’s anti-semitism to Jewish friends and relatives for over one year- the only people who respond to my emails are the newly converted. I sent this one as well, with a message to have a Happy Passover; we’ll see if i get any responses.
