Media has reported that the Obama Administration has threatened to support a United Nations resolution calling on Israel to retreat to the pre-1967 armistice lines. Obama is lashing out at Israel – this time because the Israeli public re-elected Benjamin Netanyahu.
The truth is that the Obama Administration has consistently been hostile to Israel. They have threatened, warned and pressured – and that will continue until the last day Obama occupies the White House.
Yet, America needs to remember that Zionism allows Jews self-determination. Israel will do just fine without Barack Obama’s approval. As history repeats itself, America should remember that Israel has lived without understandings with America (and the Arabs) – and indeed will continue to.
In 1981, Prime Minister Menachem Begin summoned the United States ambassador to his home, and read him the following statement. Later, Begin released the statement to the cabinet and issued it to the public.
Now you once again declare that you are punishing Israel. What kind of expression is this – “punishing Israel”? Are we a vassal state of yours? Are we a banana republic? Are we youths of fourteen who, if they don’t behave properly, are slapped across the fingers?
Let me tell you who this government is composed of. It is composed of people whose lives were spent in resistance, in fighting and in suffering. You will not frighten us with “punishments”. He who threatens us will find us deaf to his threats. We are only prepared to listen to rational arguments. You have no right to “punish” Israel – and I protest at the very use of this term.
You want to make Israel a hostage of the memorandum of understanding. I regard your announcement suspending the consultations on the memorandum as the abrogation (by you) of the memorandum. No “sword of Damocles” is going to hang over our head. So we duly take note of the fact that you have abrogated the memorandum of understanding.
The people of Israel has lived 3,700 years without a memorandum of understanding with America – and it will continue to live for another 3,700.
What did you want to do – to “hit us in our pocket”? In 1946 there lived in this house a British general by the name of Barker. Today I live here. When we fought him, you called us “terrorists” – and we carried on fighting. After we attacked his headquarters in the requisitioned building of the King David Hotel, Barker said: “This race will only be influenced by being hit in the pocket” – and he ordered his soldiers to stop patronizing Jewish cafes. To hit us in the pocket – this is the philosophy of Barker.
We have enough strength to defend our independence and to defend our rights.
Indeed, Prime Minister Begin said it best, and its worth repeating when he told the United States Israel was no “vassal state” or a “banana republic.”
Allies may not always agree – yet “punishing” Israel will not happen in these days. The people of Israel have chosen a nationalist government.
Ams Yisrael Chai!
We are not in separate boats, all must bail
or drown.
Congress! Get off your butts and defend liberty and oppose the Muslim onslaught!
Do that by standing up to Emperor Obama.
Impeach, defund
What the heck did Obama have planned for Israel ? Install a weak leader who would have laid on their back as the Persians raped the country ?
FrontPage gets it exactly right!
Good for them.
Obama will suffer the same fate as all the others who have opposed Israel.
Judgement day comes wonder-child.
” FrontPage gets it exactly right!”
Yes. Well written.
The EXEMPT, selfserving-first, US Congress,
importers of EV-D68 and Ebola by Quartering,
are cowards.
Whether it is Israel, or the American
people, that will be exterminated by
Obola in his White Mosque, the EXEMPT have
demonstrated into Eternity, that they prefer
to hide, drunk, preening and whoring -—
while the US Constitution and Law, itself,
were long ago burned to ashes.
“Israel and all American conservatives who love God and His Christ, family, and America are under attack by this bizarre and vicious democrat communist regime of liars and thieves and thugs”
Add the Establishment Republicans who control the House & Senate. They either aid Obama, or stay silent. Obama is guilty of treason on Israel/Iran alone. Iran is the #1 sponsor of terrorism in the world, and Obama is trying to arm them.
Wasn’t FrontPage problematic years ago? I thought there was a time when it was borderline. This certainly isn’t. It’s great to see.
It was founded by a former Marxist, who did a 180 many years ago. I read their articles often.
Oh, that David Horowitz. LOL, I know who you’re talking about. Took a minute for it to sink in. Yes he’s a good guy. He sure did do a 180.
Obama Administration has consistently been hostile to Israel.”
And Americans, and anyone else that is not a TERRORIST or MUSLIM NATION
Hi isn’t trying to arm, HE IS ARMING THEM
Yeah, I like Horowitz, he woke up and saw the light a long time ago, What’s Speaker Boehners excuse??
” What’s Speaker Boehners excuse??”
He’s a drunk and a whore.
