obambi supports the made up lizzards
. . . .
Quite a day to hold a Hanukkah celebration, Mr. President. I mean, you could have held it on any day (assuming, that is, that you had a good reason for not holding it when the holiday actually starts), and you chose December 8.
Make of this what you will. I’m not trying to be conspiratorial – but the facts are the facts. What I think this incident shows is the absolute lack of concern Obama has for the Jewish community (and for all who steadfastly support Israel). Here is a president who bends over backwards to make sure that not one word he utters gives offense to the Muslim world. Speeches are carefully crafted to take into account the “feelings” of Muslims. Symbolism that might be “offensive” to Muslims is removed from official events; words that might give offense are excised. Every effort is made to ensure that nothing might even inadvertently offend Muslim sensibilities. Terrorist incidents are renamed to cater to Muslim sensitivities – Islamic-inspired mass-killings are renamed “workplace violence” or “man-caused disasters.” Even the world’s most wanted terrorist – a man responsible for 3,000 U.S. deaths, was given a proper Muslim burial so as not to offend.
But then Obama decides to hold the official White House Hanukkah ceremony on the anniversary of the beginning of one of the most painful periods of Israeli history. I doubt he bothered to vet the date; I doubt he cared. He decided to celebrate Hanukkah when he saw fit (as opposed to, you know, when the Jewish community sees fit), and he picked a date forever associated with violent attacks against Israel.
As I said, make of it what you will.

No, they’re not Philistines; they’re Arabs (that the other Arab countries don’t want). I believe it was the Romans who named the area Philistia as an “eff you” to the Jews way back when.
“Man Newt, you’re really poking the stick in the cage now. It’s true, but that takes guts.”
Thought the same thing, but it seems we have entered the season to have guts, in order to get rid of the imposter.
Biblical Use of Palestine
Both the Canaanites and the Philistines had disappeared as distinct peoples at least by the time of the Babylonian Captivity of Judea (586 B.C.), and they no longer exist.
Copyright © 1997 Zola Levitt Ministries, Inc., All rights reserved. http://www.levitt.com/essays/palestine.html It was not until the Romans crushed the second Jewish revolt against Rome in 135 A.D. under Bar Kochba that Emperor Hadrian applied the term Palestine to the Land of Israel. Hadrian, like many dictators since his time realized the propaganda power of terms and symbols. He replaced the shrines of the Jewish Temple and the Sepulchre of Christ in Jerusalem with temples to pagan deities. He changed the name of Jerusalem to Aelia Capitalina, and changed the name of Israel and Judea to Palestine. Hadrian’s selection of Palestine was purposeful, not accidental. He took the name of the ancient enemies of Israel, the Philistines, Latinized it to Palestine, and applied it to the Land of Israel. He hoped to erase the name Israel from all memory. Thus, the term Palestine as applied to the Land of Israel was invented by the inveterate enemy of the Bible and the Jewish people, Emperor Hadrian.
It is interesting to note that the original Philistines were not Middle Eastern at all. They were European peoples from the Adriatic sea next to Greece. It may have pleased Hadrian to utilize this Hellenistic term for the Jewish land. In any case, the original “Palestinians” had nothing to do, whatsoever, with any Arabs.
Good post #56
So is Germany—so is the US—SO WHAT????-—The Jews have the historical and genetic rights to that land especially since every other nation has refused to allow them to integrate and live in their countries—actually confiscating their property-—.
What about the cave man killing other cave men for land——The only reason for Israel is the outright persecution of the Jews and Just Law—Their history is unique in the history of man, which was a great reason to create their state and return them to their own land. The history of their great intellect and contributions to literature and science and philosophy, and obviously Theology is reason enough. We should get on our knees and thank God for the Jewish race and that Jewish State. And where would Christianity be without the Jew?
Pepperoni? Or mushroom?
Has Newt ever expressed an opinion on whether pizza tastes delicious?
Newt, does NOT need to say that, its obvious his opinion is YES INDEED.
Bold and a little bit reckless is good when dealing with camel-jocks. Keeps em on their toes as to your intent to introduce em to 72 virgins.
Very well stated. Thew Jews are indeed a planetary treasure.
Palestinians are actually recent Arab immigrants who occupied Judea and stole the identity of Canaanites to proclaims themselves as the original inhabitants of Palestine.
Go on. How exactly do we force them? Are we going to go to war to force a foreign country to absorb a population they don't want?
Palestinians were invented to give fascists an excuse to hate Jews.
At least the invented “Palestinian” pre-dates the invented “Kwanzaa” by three years...
I guess he’s historically correct. But what will it portend? At this point, the Palestinians exist. Someone mentioned that “they” got booted out of Kuwait for supporting Saddam. “They” means Palestinians.
The same UN that gave Israel international political legitimacy has given the Palestinians political legitimacy. It’s a scholarly matter but how does it break in terms of Real Politik?
How much of the world was shaped by the Brits (and other colonists)? For example, how man artificial African countries often encompassing warring tribes were pressed into states? Or what the hell was Yugoslavia? What’s a European? From a cultural standpoint they are inventions. Okay, they were invented, but now what?
Is Newt scoring easy rhetorical points with the Jews and Evangelicals?
I'll add a "Moderate Muslim."
He has my respect if he stands by his guns, and doesn’t back down. There may be some argument that the Jews of today are not entitled to the land either, but the Palestinians are a made up peoples. If they had a legitimate homeland claim, then why don’t the other Arab countries pitch in land for them?
And let’s not avoid the fact that the Palestinians have been given billions of our dollars for nothing.
I’m tired of the likes of the presidents we’ve had dumping on Israel.
Newt scored big. Hopefully, he’ll not back down from the MSM but let it be debated.
LET’S SEE IF THE OTHER CANDIDATE AGREE WITH HIM!!!!!!!!
