No Sweetness from Obama on Rosh Hashanah
David Horowitz's NewsReal Blog ^ | Karen McQuillan

Posted on 09/12/2010 6:48:01 AM PDT by Michael van der Galien

This week Jews across America celebrate Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and received holiday greetings from our President that were remarkable for their offensive preachiness. Beyond a perfunctory wish for a sweet New Year, Jews got a lecture on the Two State solution. American Jews were told this is a time to repent, think of those in need, embrace diversity, cultivate humility and compassion, move beyond differences with the Palestinians, and choose the Two State solution.

Not a single word of praise for Judaism or American Jews. Not one. For that matter, after the first sentence, the word Jew does not appear, and Judaism is not mentioned by name at all. Obama doesn’t seem to like speaking about Jews or Judaism. (In his Ramadan message which is one hundred words shorter, the words Muslim and Islam are used seven times.)

For the sake of comparison, look at President George Bush’s 2001 message , or President Reagan’s superb Rosh Hashanah message in 1984.

Nancy and I hear (the shofar’s) call and are reminded by it that so much in our American heritage is drawn from the religious values enunciated during the Jewish High Holy Days…. The ties between the Jewish and American traditions run deep and are related in no small way to the special relationship that exists between the United States and Israel — a relationship based on the common spiritual and ethical values encompassed in the shofar’s call to prayer.

To appreciate how arrogant Obama’s Rosh Hashanah statement was, compare it to Obama’s words on Christmas, Ramadan, or St. Patrick’s day. St. Patrick’s is a model of normal politic blarney on an ethnic holiday. Obama’s Ramadan message is a weird world of sycophantic praise...

May his teeth fall out, and may he bleed to death slowly through his gums.

> It would be hard to imagine a Muslim writing a harsher “greeting” to the Jewish people.

It was a muzzie that delivered it.

> “Note that in the Jewish calander, a holiday begins on the sunset of the previous day”

.
Except that Yom Teruah technically begins when the first crack of light of the new moon shows (in Jerusalem).

These “terrorists in training” will naturally believe what they’re told. Then they’ll grow up hating Americans because we lied and blamed things on the muslims that they didn’t do. That video of planes crashing into the buildings were fake. Just like the moon landing.

When this started in 2001 I told my wife we’d never win this war because we don’t have the resolve. To win it, first, we will have to accept that any “religion” that preaches to overthrow the government is not a religion that should be protected by the constitution. Next we would have to deport every muslim. And we may have to kill them all. Again, we don’t have the resolve.

The Saudis made sure they couldn’t reproduce.

In fact, the male slaves could hardly pee.

This year they happen to coincide. Most years they don't and thank God for that. Jews are not in the false prophet business. Muslims are.

Indeed.

REAL Prophets climb mountains to be closer to God.

mohammed slithered into a hole in the ground to listen to the hissings of The Serpent.

Many Jews in my synagogue just adore Obama.Most of them don’t seem to care too much about Judaism and being Jewish.The way one of my fellow congregants carried the Torah was disgusting and disgraceful. I know what Nobama is all about and as a convert to Judaism it shocks and saddens me to see my fellow Jews just not give a darn about being a Jew.Being a Jew is a blessing.

We used to belong to a synagogue that was part of the Reform movement - it used to gall me to see the position statements that would come out of the Union of Reform Judaism. It was complete down-the-line far-left orthodoxy. Partial birth abortion is good. Bush stole the election. Global warming is killing us. Etc., etc., etc.

I have heard many a bleeding-heart liberal statements made as well.Global warming is but one of the topics. Homosexuals must be included,the Muslims deserve to have their mosque built,etc. One member said “it’s complicated” when refeering to the mosque.No,it’s not! Don’t these people realize that Islam is evil? That Muslims are the biggest Jew-haters? They think that Islam is a legitimate religion.If that is true then I am a big Broadway star. Look out Patti Lupone!
