Last week, a line was crossed. A terrible line was crossed at Annapolis. With the world looking on, the President of the United States sponsored Judeophobia. Jew-hatred was okay, understandable even.
Under the auspices of a global "peace" conference, the White House sanctioned Jew-hatred. The Jew is contemptible, inferior, ignorant, politically and socially disenfranchised: separate entrance ways, service entrances for the Jews, refusal to touch or shake hands with a Jew, refusal of audience members to wear the translation earphones when Ehud Olmert spoke.
"Saud Al-Faisel's ears, underneath his red keffiyah, were left bare. And no, it wasn't because he understood Hebrew. It was the Saudi method of demonstrating their relationship to the State of Israel. Even as the Israeli Prime Minister was greeting him and speaking of peace, they were refusing to listen. For a minute I thought I was wrong that maybe there was a technical problem. But then I saw his aide next to him - also leaving his ears demonstrably naked."
Then, as Olmert's speech ended, and the audience applauded: "The Saudi representative also brought his palms together in order to appear polite. Only someone who sat very close to him could see that the never touched. The little game that the Saudis were playing was just one contradiction - the least noticeable one - in a day full of contradictions." ...(Read more more here.)
Submitting to Saudi demands, the Americans prohibited Israeli representatives from entering the hall through the same door as the Arabs. Vile - all of it; sanctioned and institutionalized by the President of the United States. I thought George Bush was a Christian, a man of faith. Shocking. He has squandered his second term and has not acted in good faith. We did not elect him to carry Condi's water.
It is unfathomable to consider this with any other race, creed or color. Imagine separate entrances for the leader of an African nation because a "white" leader refused to walk through the same door as the black man, because it would be unclean?
And Israel took it like the ghetto Jew. They should have walked out like any self-respecting human would have done. But no, they lowered the bar yet again. Offering all and getting nothing. Sheba Farms, Golan, Jerusalem - all of it in play. The post-Oslo Jew has returned to the pre-Holocaust mentality of the "ghetto Jew." The Jew who doesn't want to be noticed, the Jew who will do anything to appease those who hate us, just to live in peace. Instead of asserting our rights, our will, that we have a right, that we are the rightful heirs of Israel and Jerusalem, we are acting as if we have no rights. Instead, we are begging - begging - our enemies to recognize us and accept us!" Behaving like beggars! And the silence of American Jews - well, it's the ghetto mentality mixed with those who have assimilated into American culture: the "let's not rock the boat" crowd.
Continuing this tragedy, Condoleezza Rice later proclaimed, "I know what it's like as a Palestinian." Such willful stupidity is unacceptable in a US Secretary of State. Rice knows little about the history of the Middle East, the politics, the Koran, the Jews - none of it. This ignorant remark says it all. The Palestinians are not the blacks of the Civil Rights movement or era; Abbas is not the great non-violent civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King (what an insult to even think this!); and Dr. King was a Zionist, a lover of Israel and the Jewish people's right to it. The Jews are not the KKK or the police with the dogs, either; this is not the old South, this the very violent, blood-lusting Middle East.
She doesn't know what it means to be a Jew, to watch innocent people, babies, children, the old, the young, the tourist be blown to bits; shards of flesh flying in every direction, blood, guts strewn everywhere, missing body parts, and the survivors, with nails, nuts and bolts throughout their bodies, marred for life. My dear friend Wolf nailed it when she she said Rice doesn't know what it's like to have monsters throwing rocks at your car as you drive, to have bombs thrown at you, to live under constant mortar fire and have to spend the night in a bomb shelter. She doesn't know the feeling of the parents who lost their sons when the boys went on a hike near where they lived, only to be brutally murdered by barbarians who had bashed in their heads beyond all recognition. They were left to be discovered in a cave. She knows rien, nothing.
A line in the sand was crossed last week. And anyone who claims that Annapolis was a big yawn and that nothing would come of it is living in the land of unicorns and moonbeams. The Jew as dhimmi was made official and the world was there to bear witness. Moreover, Israel laid down. Sheba Farms, Golan, Jerusalem - all were thrown on the table like so many marbles.
Bat Yeor was dead right in her reply when I asked her what had become of the people of Israel: "Israel is unworthy of her ancestors."
The entire episode was despicable, nauseating even. It was unworthy of the US to behave so cravenly to placate the Arab barbarians. I am utterly shocked. What has become of honor, of pride?
I don’t know why Israel doesn’t just tell all of them to shove it and just go about its business. Nobody in the Muslim axis has any interest in peace, they simply want to push the Jews into the ocean (that they use the ‘Palestinians’ as a foil is farcical enough.) Why we go through this Kabuki theater with every administration is really starting to make my head spin and why the Israelis bother going through the motions is beyond me.
It might have something to do with 6 billion in mostly military aid, and the possible support of her enemies with all manner of aid both military and economic.
Remember, Bush was once a “front runner” back in 2000.
Vote Duncan Hunter, but whatever you do, do not vote for a “front runner” because they “can win”. You do not “win” when you vote for a “winner” who will turn on you.
See my tagline ...
Yes, and meanwhile the Palis continue to kill their people.
True, but as long as the Israelis keep electing surrender monkeys, it’s not surprising that the rest of the world is starting not to care.
This is the first I’ve heard of this - was this “separate entrance” thing reported in the MSM? It sounds deplorable, actually inexcusable. How can there be “peace” if the “peace process” is negotiated under such terms?
The White House will sell the U.S. down the river also. We need radical change.
It sounds as if the bad behavior was mostly on the part of the Saudis, not President Bush. And there’s no way he can make the Saudis share a door with Israel if they refuse to do so, short of cancelling the meeting. Maybe that would have been a good idea, but if the separate door story is true, then Olmert apparently also agreed to it.
Until recently, Bush was the best friend Israel ever had in the White House. I agree that things have deteriorated, but it’s very hard for the US to back Israel against the Palestinians when Olmert and his political buddies like Peretz and Barak are leading the charge to surrender.
How is Bush supposed to back Israel when the Prime Minister of Israel refuses to do so?
Bush continues to lose credibility on all fronts. Supporting Israel is a must, and lately he’s been slacking off.

I was shocked at the way we treated the Israelis and kissed the collective asses of the damn mooselimbs.
Bullhockey. President Bush sanctioned this racism and allowed it to occur in a ridiculous sham of a'peace conference' done is his name.
And there’s no way he can make the Saudis share a door with Israel if they refuse to do so, short of cancelling the meeting
Which is exactly what he should have done and then pointed out these acts of overt anti-Semitism for what they are.
How is Bush supposed to back Israel when the Prime Minister of Israel refuses to do so?
He could start by refusing to sponsor farcical 'conferences'. He could also call Saudi racism by it's right name loudly and publicly.

I don’t disagree with you. I have been critical of the “peace process” ever since Oslo showed up on the radar. But Olmert doesn’t come out of this affair smelling like a rose, either.
As far as I can tell, the whole conference was just an exercise in window dressing. And Olmert as well as Bush went along with it. if Israel is to be protected, which I have always fought for, then it has to start with the Israelis themselves. Olmert has done far more damage to his own people than Bush could possibly do, so starting a food fight between allies and pretending that Olmert is the offended good guy and Bush is the offending bad guy makes little sense.
