In preparation for his attempt to impose a final solution on Israel, Obama is spreading a variety of lies through the media and his spokesmen about Israel. And by exposing those lies, we can best get at the truth.
1. Netanyahu Must Choose Between Obama and his Right Wing
What Obama's people would like you to believe here is that all it would take to restore good relations with the Obama Administration is for Netanyahu to reject the "extremists" and do what Obama tells him to do.
But in fact the vast majority of Israelis support Netanyahu's position that Jews have the right to live anywhere in Jerusalem, and oppose Obama's position that Jews have no right to live or build homes in parts of Jerusalem that were seized by Jordan in 1948 and ethnically cleansed of Jews.
Netanyahu's real choice is between Obama and the vast majority of his country's voters. By demanding that he turn his back on them and do what Obama says, the real demand here is for Netanyahu to completely disregard Israel's democracy, and betray his own electorate, and enact Apartheid in Jerusalem. This will supposedly appease Obama. And all Netanyahu has to do is disregard the Israeli people's wishes in favor of DC's wishes.
So Netanyahu must choose between Obama and democracy. And the media is blasting him because he chose democracy over Obama.
2. Obama Wants Netanyahu's Right Wing Coalition to be More Centrist
More centrist. Really? Netanyahu's current coalition includes the left wing Labor party, an immigrant's rights party and the party of Sefardi Jews. It even has an Arab Muslim Deputy Minister.
So what is Obama's idea of a centrist Israeli government? One that jettisons Shas, the party of Jewish refugees from Muslim countries, and Yisrael Beitenu, the party of Jewish refugees from the USSR-- in favor of Kadima, an illegitimately created party headed by Tzipi Livni, a former member of Netanyahu's own Likud party. How is a coalition with Kadima more "centrist" than a coalition with the Labor party and parties that represent Israel's different minorities? The answer is it isn't. The only thing "centrist" about Kadima, is that Tzipi Livni airheadedly endorses every Obama proposal, which hasn't exactly made her popular in the country. But it has made her popular with Obama, who wants to force her into a coalition with Netanyahu.
If you believe the Washington talking heads, Livni will make Netanyahu's coalition more centrist than former Labor Prime Minister Ehud Barack. This despite the fact that Kadima officials have repeatedly stated they will not enter any coalition headed by Netanyahu.
Let me emphasize this again. Obama's people are trying to force Netanyahu to drop two parties, one of Jewish refugees from Muslim countries and another of Jewish refugees from Communist countries-- (it's not too hard to figure out why Obama would dislike both) in order to form a more "centrist" coalition with a former member of his own party.
3. Tensions Between Obama and Israel Were Caused by Netanyahu's "Insult" Toward Biden
The truth is that the relationship between Obama and Israel has always been bad. And that's not surprising. Obama was a longtime member of a church whose pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright portrayed Israel in terms reminiscent of Nazi newspapers. He was friends with Rashid Khalidi who was a spokesman for the PLO terrorist organization. His own background as a child was in the Muslim world, where Israel is viewed as nothing short of the devil.
Once elected, Obama made his first phone call to current PLO head and Holocaust denier, Mahmoud Abbas. And it didn't take long for the administration to begin making demands of Israel, and then refusing to accept any compromises. All this was long before Biden paid a brief visit to Israel, and pretended to be outraged because potential housing on an empty plot of land in Jerusalem went through one part of a multi-stage approvals process.
Was Biden offended by this as a demonstration of Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem? Not likely since Biden himself had co-sponsored no less than three Senate resolutions in support of a United Jerusalem under Israeli rule. If we are to believe that Biden was offended, then he was offended by policies he himself supported.
The truth of the matter is that the Obama Administration was looking to pick a fight and waited for an incident that they could claim was an Israeli provocation. Israel didn't insult America, Biden or Obama by approving possible housing to be built in Jerusalem. Rather Obama who had always disliked Israel, took the chance to pick a fight, while pretending to be the victim.
4. Netanyahu Must Come Back to the Negotiating Table
What negotiating table? Israel has spent almost two decades at the negotiating table. It has given up land and put even its own capital on the table under Prime Minister Barak (currently a member of Netanyahu's "Right Wing" coalition. The Palestinian Arabs have never put anything on the table. They have taken and taken.
Netanyahu has already agreed to freeze home building in Judea and Samaria. Checkpoints have been dismantled, despite the fact that this allows terrorists to slip through and murder Israelis. Israel has repeatedly offered to go back to the negotiating table. It is Abbas, the first foreign leader that Obama spoke to, who refuses to negotiate. Not only that Abbas has asked Obama to impose a solution.
If Abbas wants Obama to impose a solution. And Obama wants to impose a solution. Then what is there left to negotiate? The exact place where Obama will impose his solution. This argument is a cynical ploy to blame Israel for not wanting to negotiate, when in fact Israel is the only party in this conflict that wants to negotiate and that has consistently tried to negotiate.
But neither Obama nor Abbas are interested in negotiations. They only want Israel to obey their demands.
5. Israel is Costing the US Blood and Treasure
The US has fought three wars since Vietnam. Each of those wars were fought on behalf of, or against Muslims. In the Gulf War, the US responded to Saddam's invasion of its Kuwaiti allies with armed force. In Yugoslavia, the US intervened on behalf of Kosovar Albanian Muslims. In Afghanistan and Iraq, the US overthrew Muslim dictatorships and tried to stabilize the two countries.
It is Islam that has cost the US an untold fortune in blood and treasure. It is Muslims that have dragged the US into three wars. In the Gulf War, the US was responding to an invasion of Muslim Kuwait. In Yugoslavia, the US was responding to the supposed ethnic cleansing of Albanian Muslims. In Afghanistan and Iraq, the US was fighting back against an Al Queda attack, motivated by the presence of a US base in Saudi Arabia, and in Iraq, against Saddam Hussein's continuing defiance of sanctions.
Thousands of Americans dead and hundreds of billions of dollars. Now that's real blood and treasure. And the toll keeps on climbing. But in truth the first "Blood and Treasure" extracted by Muslims from America predated the modern State of Israel. Instead it took place on the "Shores of Tripoli" as President Thomas Jefferson chose to go to war with the Muslim pirates who were raiding American ships and enslaving American sailors, because they viewed them as subhuman infidels.
Of course the Obama Administration which has banned any mention of Islamic terrorism, can't possibly address any of that. All it can do is direct false smears at Israel.

With friends like the US, Israel really does not need enemies.
ReplyDeleteWho forced an end to the Suez crisis and left Nasser to fight again?
Who used USS Liberty to spy on Israel and pass information to invading Arabs in 1967?
Who Threatened to invade in 1967 if Israel went 'too far' into the Arab world.
Who compromised Israels security in 1973 nearly causing anahilation?
Who made Israel hand back Sinai?
Who made Israel hand back Gaza?
Enough said....
Obama has no trouble asking Binny to turn his back on voters because Obama himself turned his back on the United States.
ReplyDeleteHe has no fidelity to anything or anyone but himself and most likely cannot figure out why others would care either.
In every instance, Obama has shown himself a friend to thugs and dictators of the worst sort while insulting, betraying and denigrating America's friends.
What Netanyahu must do is to turn his back on outside nations and concentrate on Israel's interests and safety first and foremost.
To heck with the rest. They just don't count.
Obama's hostility towards Israel and constant humilation of Netanyahu goes far beyond liberal politics. We're seeing something much deeper and uglier than that.
ReplyDeleteIt's everything we'd expect from our first Muslim president
