JERUSALEM – Israeli radio stations say the U.S. has told Israel to halt construction project in east Jerusalem. The international community considers Jewish neighborhoods in east Jerusalem to be settlements and an obstacle to Israeli-Palestinian peacemaking. Israel Radio and Army Radio reported Sunday that Israel's ambassador to the U.S. was summoned to the State Department over the weekend. The stations say Michael Oren was told the project should not go ahead. The project is being developed by American millionaire Irving Moskowitz and is near Israel's national police headquarters. The radio reports say Israeli planning authorities have approved the project.

Barack Obama is a real tiger when it comes to criticizing Israel or Honduras, but turns to a tower of jelly when dealing with the Iranian dictatorship. Obmaa likes to call the thug Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei his honorific name “the Supreme Leader”.

Did you notice How Husein Obama gave a deep-waisted bow to the Saudi Prince, but when talking to the Israel Prime Minister on the telephone, he showed the soles of his shoes, in his officially released photograph of the phone conversation.

I am Jewish but I am embarrassed of the millions of Jews (about 75 percent) who voted for an anti-Israel candidate like Obama and against a pro-Israel John McCain.

Netanyahu has called the two Jews who are close to Obama, David Axlerod and Rahm Emmanuel “self-hating Jews”, according to the major Jerusalem newspaper, Haaretz.

They better resist. I should ask my baby brother in Israel to help stage a stiffen spine type protest.

Obama “ has told Israel to halt construction project in east Jerusalem.”

Israel should tell our gov’t where to shove it. And how is the State Dept. coming in getting the Palis to recognize Israel’s right to exist?

Oh, you mean they aren’t pressuring the Palis to do anything, no ‘confidence building measures’ expected of them?

First inclination: O already has the project stopped, and is huffing so the world views him as powerful.

Second: O has just written a check with his mouth that he can't cash; and he'll be humiliated. He's a lawyer, and should know better than to 'ask a question' [so to speak], without knowing the answer. But he was not a good or smart one; and his pride is larger than his wisdom.

Agreed, 100%. To the Israelis, I say: keep building. Build & build & build. Don't shrink; expand. Your survival is at stake and as long as that not-so-magical Negro punk-thug is squatting in the White Hut with that hideous wife of his, the U.S. government is gonna side with the animals.

One of our American-Jewish liberal, pro-Obama no-matter- what, acquaintances invited us to dinner, first time after the elections.
Here is my response.

-—— Original Message -——
Hi Audrey,

I got your phone message with your invitation for dinner. Thank you.
We have to respectfully decline for the following reasons.

As became evident from many of our encounters, we have very different political views. Prior to the last presidential election, however, our differences had not created an obstacle to our socializing, but rather provided opportunities for some lively discussions.

November 4th 2009 was a game changer.

As our initial suspicions increased and then got confirmed, throughout the campaign season, based on the very thorough research of then candidate Barack Obama’s life history, writings, speeches, friends and associates, voting record, etc, our country was about to elect the most Anti-Semitic, Anti-Israel, Anti-American president in the US history. The post election reality not only reinforced our initial opinion of Mr. Obama, but made it abundantly clear that we were underestimating his determination to destroy Israel and the foundations of liberty and independence upon which our country, the USA, was built.

Vladimir and I can never understand how 80% of the American Jews willingly made and continue to make themselves blind to these vile qualities and inspirations of Mr. Obama, while proclaiming their “love for Israel”.

In any way, we can no longer pretend that our disagreements are mere benign differences of opinion. The reality is that the United States and Israel, the two countries in the world to which we have absolute undivided allegiance, are being “sold down the river” with an active participation of the American Jews. We cannot, without sacrificing our most profound moral principles, maintain “business as usual” relationships with them.

The Israelis should be retaking the land once covering biblical Israel.

Dear FRiend,

your not the only Jew who is puzzled/embarrassed etc about the 78% of American ‘jews’ who voted they way they did.

I continue to be baffled at just how pathological their dependence on liberalism is and just how detached they are from survival instincts.

they truly have learned nothing.

the old yiddish sayin is on the spot.

der oylem iz a goylem

- the masses are asses

Jerusalem would be a good spot for a Palin speech.

Tell the magic negro to worry about his own ass.
