Mere Rhetoric: Obama’s Israel Deceptions

Omri Ceren makes a last ditch appeal to Democratic Jews to reconsider their support for a man who will be absolutely disastrous for Israel: 70 Percent Of American Jews Ready To Say ‘We Didn’t Know’ When Obama Detonates US-Israel Alliance (Plus: They Most Definitely Know).

You have to admire the obstinate creativity behind the moronic arguments and bald-faced lies that Democratic Jews cling to. This is a candidate who is so close to vulgar appeasement that he and his media sycophants take it personally when people talk about Chamberlain - even in contexts that aren’t about Obama at all. The hysterical way that Democratic Jews latched on to Bob Wexler’s transparent anti-Palin lies was revelatory - they weren’t so much fooled as desperately hoping to convince people that they were fooled. This is how it’s been through the entire campaign - just one unblinking, incoherent argument after another:

* Obama will actively work to undermine the political supporters of the US-Israel alliance? “Well Jesse Jackson doesn’t speak for Obama and AIPAC supports him.“ Except Biden said the exact same thing about taking on pro-Israel forces in DC and AIPAC is actually terrified of him.

* Obama is disastrously weak on Israeli security? “Well he’s willing to accept Israel’s security choices, he’s spoken out against Palestinian violence, and he’s reached out to Israelis.“ Except he totally rejects the Israeli center-right that Israelis are about to entrust with their security, he opposes the security fence that protects Israel from Palestinian violence, and Israelis don’t actually believe that his overtures are genuine.

* Obama has the most anti-Israel foreign policy team ever assembled? “Well he has plenty of pro-Israel advisers and all those anti-Israel advisers don’t advise him on Israel anyway.” Except he doesn’t have pro-Israel advisers and obsessive anti-Israel partisans like Brzezinski obviously advise him on Israel since they blame the Jewish State for the entire breadth and depth of Middle East instability - a view of the Middle East geopolitics that Obama himself explicitly endorses.

* Obama committed to meeting Ahmadinejad without preconditions? “Well he never said that and besides he meant Khamenei.” Except there’s video and photographic proof that he did commit to meeting Ahmadinejad and if he meant Khamenei that’s even worse.

There’s a lot more in this vein.
