Column One: The Scott Brown precedent and Israel
The Jerusalem Post ^ | 10/28/2010 | CAROLINE B. GLICK

On Tuesday, US voters are set to repudiate President Barak Obama’s agenda for their country. Unfortunately, based on his behavior in the face of a similar repudiation last January, it is safe to assume that Obama will not abandon his course.

Last year, in an attempt to block Obama’s plan to nationalize healthcare, Massachusetts voters elected Republican Scott Brown to the Senate. Brown was elected because he pledged to block Obamacare in the US Senate.

Rather than heed the voters’ message and abandon his plans, Obama abandoned the voters.

Instead of accepting his defeat, Obama changed the rules of the game and bypassed the Senate.

It is time for individuals, social groups, business groups and political leaders to start a world-wide movement to put pressure on the Islamic countries to stop extremist preachers in all of their countries and to support religious freedom in their countries. The war against Israel is an Islamic war against the Jews. This is similar to religious wars that are going on in many countries. The muslims are attacking people of all faiths throughout the world. Saudi Arabia has used it oil money to promote jihad in mosques and madrasses throughout the world. Iran funds and supports terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah. Pakistan is the mother of all terrorist training camps. We have false friends like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan and obvious enemies like Iran. The islamic world is warring against all of the world. When the world realizes this they will all start putting pressure on the Islamic world. Up until now, the muslim world and their friends have put all of the focus on Israel as if Israel were the problem. We have to start putting the focus on the islamic world as the source of the problem for their are the aggressors.
