Obama's Israel Okey-Doke

Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 8:16:27 am PDT

Barack Obama is in Israel, telling everybody what he thinks they want to hear—except the journalists he continues to shun: Obama: I’m here to reaffirm special US-Israel relationship.

After a series of meetings with Israeli officials and a visit to Israel’s Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial, US presidential contender Senator Barack Obama travelled 30-minutes from Jerusalem to the West Bank town of Ramallah on Wednesday afternoon where he assured Palestinian leaders he’d get involved in the Mideast conflict quickly, a top Palestinian official said.

In his meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, Obama confirmed “that he will be a constructive partner in the peace process” and would not “waste a minute” if elected, Chief Palestinian negotiator Saed Erekat said.

Obama left Abbas’s headquarters without speaking to reporters.

3 scenarios Obama and Abbas in closed meeting.

1) They hug and share a prayer and say "Soon very soon my friend" then slap backs.

2) THey exchange scripted meaningless position papers and look at watches.

3) Obama calls for "Hope" and "Change" and Abbas agrees. Obama leaves the room and Abbas has a good laugh over cigars with his friends.

Hussein: "So despite this record of monumental tragedy this ultimately is a place of hope because it reminds us of our obligations and responsibilities hopefully to raise a better future for our children and our grandchildren."

A place of hope! And change! Does the schmock know what the words that come out of his mouth actually mean or does he have some sort of Markov process instead of a brain?

In signing the guestbook, he wrote, "May we remember those who perished, not only as victims but also as individuals who hoped and loved and dreamed like us, and who have become symbols of the human spirit."

I hope no one thinks this will sour the relationship he has with the media. Or rather, the relationship the media has with him.

Don't you think the same things are obvious to them that are obvious to us? He'll come home, they'll cover this whole thing up and then business as usual.

I'm not so optimistic that The People will punish the media or even recognize what is happening here. The People haven't really noticed that much so far. Yes, I know that the Ras poll said differently, but when did we start believing polls simply because they affirm what we already know when we discard polls that don't?

The man's upbringing is a binary choice. Sen. Obama's father was a moslem. His step-father is a moslem. Obama attended a moslem parochial school in a predominantly moslem country, for whatever length of time. His Kenyan siblings and cousins appear to be moslems. By what we know of sharia law, that pretty much makes Mr. Obama a moslem. This fact is repeated frequently, worldwide, by moslem clergy and laity. If Sen. Obama became a Christian, of whatever denomination, that makes him a moslem apostate, free to be murdered at will by any practicing moslem; this little bit of sharia is also frequently repeated and defended by moslem clergy and laity worldwide.
Must all be quite the major headache for the Secret Service. Does the islamic world want to kill the man, or are they just waiting for him to come out of the closet?

So, Israel's okey-dokey. Right.

Gotcha.

Would that be before or after terrorist attacks, both those that are carried out, or those that were thwarted by the quick thinking Israeli security?

Hamas hails yesterday's attack in Jerusalem as part of the Jersualem intifada. Right. That would be the same terrorists who operate Hamastan in Gaza, and who would take over the West Bank but for the US and Israelis propping up the terrorists in Fatah.

What concessions could the Israelis make that will be sufficient for the Palestinians? Give up Jerusalem? Nope, because the Palestinians want Tel Aviv too. They want it all. Right of return? Nope, Palestinians want all of Israel.

Nothing Israel can do will ever satisfy the terrorists and Islamists who want nothing less than the destruction of Israel. The psuedodiplomacy hides those sad facts from view.

Palestinians refuse to accept a two-state solution, and their ongoing terrorism reflects this basic fact. Far from creating a vibrant society in Gaza, where the Palestinians have been in control without any Israeli involvment since 2005, they've turned it into an armed camp for a war against Israel. The West Bank has been turned into no-go areas for Israelis, and yet the Palestinians still plot terror attacks and seek to kill Israelis even as the diplomats and the Israeli government makes concession after concession and talks of peace deals by the end of the year.

The MSM is giving tactical support to the old school leftist/Marxist
political activists in their last gasp machine effort to create
socialism in the U.S. And they are extremely well organized and
energized in this coup because they are aware that it may be their last
chance.

They'll use a few methods to achieve a government dependent population. First they'll give amnesty to tens of millions of impoverished,
illiterate illegals and then their extended families and give them the
right to vote. This will create hundreds of millions more die hard
Democrat supporters within a couple of generations. Then they'll enact
universal health care to develop an entitlement mentality even amongst
the American middle class, particularly the middle age and elders. Next
to condition younger voters, the minimum wage will be significantly
raised, with new government mandated benefits for the handicapped, new mothers, and greatly expanded personal day/vacation time. And I have no doubt that there will be an effort to pass The Fairness Doctrine, mirrored in the school system by boards determining whether textbooks and curriculum are multicultural, mentally uplifting and unbiased (leftism), or insane and harmful for the citizenry (conservatism).

In other words, a national cultural laboratory set to produce European socialist system for unmotivated, passive mindbots within eight years. And the handlers of the puppet Obama won't do it with coercion, they'll do it with mesmerizing populist appeal, after Jonah Goldberg, slavery wearing a happy face.

Isn't he supposed to run around meeting the world leaders and telling them what his policies are after he gets elected?

Why let a little thing like elections get in the way of Dear Leader's tour of hope?

An Obama presidency=Iraq and Israel under the bus NLT 2/2010.
Study carefully the actions of Congress in 1974.

He's bringing in $35 million a month. What else is he supposed to do but travel and hire 300 policy consultants.

About the terrorist with the bulldozer(frontloader/back hoe) - exactly at what point is it recognized that this sort of person is a terrorist by the MSM? I am tired of "Bulldozer driver attacks" or "Palistinian attacks "- is the media too afraid of the facts? Are we buying "peace" at the cost of chains and slavery per Patrick Henry?

Terrorism only exists in England, Spain, US (well, actually not, because the FBI needs its perfect record).

Fits perfectly; they're not Jews, just Jewish.

By which I mean that liberal Jews tend to place liberalism before Judaism.

You are correct that they are far from Orthodox. I would say they are more casual Jews. So perhaps that is part of the reason for the disconnect.

2 peas in a pod are Obama and Abbas (in a non-racial way of course). Alot of talk up front but absolutely no results. On the other hand, Obama hasn't had much of a chance to accomplish anything. What with his presidential campaigning since his senatorial campaign ended.

I am not orthodox but I am a strong supporter of Israel. I keep kosher and observe the holidays and attend shul. I don't think it is fair to suggest that only the orthodox support Israel.
