Barack Obama: Israel's most dangerous enemy - Roger L. Simon - http://www.wnd.com/2014/08/barack-obama-israels-most-dangerous-enemy/
Roger L. Simon calls president, secretary of state 'oblivious to the obvious'
Barack Obama is apparently very angry with Bibi Netanyahu.
We have known for some time, via hot-mic and other methods, that neither he nor his secretary of state much care for the Israeli prime minister. But - perhaps exacerbated by a multiplicity of foreign and domestic policy failures, plus atrocious poll numbers, including a recent CNN poll showing Romney beating him handily were the election held today - Obama seemed more irked than usual.
He needed someone to beat up since the world was beating him up. And the Israelis had just hugely embarrassed his secretary of state (and by extension, him) by pointing out their absurd bias in favor of Hamas in cease-fire negotiations, so absurd in fact that they outraged even Israel's most famous liberal/left politician, Tzipi Livni, who would normally do almost anything for a chance for peace. (Ironically, the details of the pro-Hamas negotiations in which Israeli security concerns - the tunnels, demilitarization, etc. - were ignored were exposed by Barak Ravid in Israel's most liberal newspaper, Haaretz.)
Further, they had outraged the Egyptians, who were dumped from the negotiations by Obama and Kerry in favor of Turkey and Qatar. Our administration seems to have a preference for the more extreme Islamist/Muslim Brotherhood societies, although you would think, given their professed loyalty to women's and gay rights, these cultures would be anathema to them. Never mind. Obama is an equal opportunity narcissist and everything's fine, unless you cross him.
Which, according to sources in Israel, is where Netanyahu found himself when the American president called to admonish him about Gaza. Obama reportedly used or implied the threat of withholding the resupply of weapons - don't know if this includes the Iron Dome itself - if Israel didn't fall into line and stop attacking Gaza immediately.
What Obama was doing, in effect, was saving Hamas. It's almost mind-boggling to think, but it's true.
The standard excuse is that if Hamas is obliterated, what replaces it will be even worse. Oh, really? ISIS or similar may be waiting in the wings to step in, but it's doubtful if Israel (given its huge 87 percent public support for the current war) will ever let something like that happen, at least in the near future.
That is, if Israel is allowed to finish the job. Obviously, Obama is doing everything he can to make sure it's otherwise. Part of this may stem from his deep-seated identification with the Third World, some from a buried (agnostic's version) sympathy for Islam and some may be merely personal or fashionably anti-Semitic (see the Khalidi Tapes ... oops, sorry, they're stuck in a vault at the L.A. Times), but it's very much there. Obama may be on the rocks, but he's quite willing to take us all - and I mean the global all - down with him.
In the final analysis, he may be seizing on Israel-bashing as a way to distract from his failures and resurrect his reputation as a "good man." No more callous behavior toward dead or dying veterans, no more endless lies about Obamacare, no more blindness as ISIS runs roughshod over Syria and Iraq, or Libya (his supposed triumph) turns into a giant Islamist nightmare, not to mention armies of illegal immigrants streaming over our borders in numbers no one could conceivably count and with missions no one could possibly guess.
No, it's all Israel's fault. See how the Jews over-reacted, killing all those innocent Arab children.
In this, of course, he will have the eager compliance of the mainstream media, who are loathe to show what Hamas really is and only reluctantly report the unprecedented lengths Israel goes not to harm civilians. But for those who are still undecided, this video - never shown on CBS or NBC, I can assure you - demonstrates exactly how Hamas deals with those who try to heed Israel's alerts and save themselves (WARNING: HORRIFIC).
That is the Hamas Barack Obama is trying to save. Morally challenged, he and Kerry are oblivious to the obvious - that only a total victory by Israel over Hamas can save the miserable lives of the Gaza Palestinians.
Fortunately, if Obama follows through on his threats, veiled or otherwise, about restricting Israeli arms, he and his party will probably suffer mightily for it in November. Unfortunately, that is not near punishment enough.
PJ Media has been running non-stop stories on the terrorist crisis in Gaza, including our recent photo essay, "14 ways Hamas weaponizes women, children, animals against Israel" and our recent look at how "Hamas boasted about its capture of IDF soldier ... then backtracked 4 times."
Jimmy Carter sides with the terrorists - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com
The Weekly Standard reports that former President Jimmy Carter has weighed in on the Israeli defense of its citizens from terrorist attacks emanating from Gaza. In predictable fashion, Carter has sided with the terrorist group Hamas. He lays the blame squarely on Israel for not recognizing the historical peace overture made by Hamas in April when it joined the Palestinian Authority. He said that Israel refused to "appreciate" the "major concession" made by Hamas to recognize the new Palestinian government formed by the Hamas-Fatah "reconciliation." The facilitator of modern terrorism--Nobel Peace Prize recipient Carter--continues to view the world through a very disturbing and apocalyptic lens.
Carter wrote on ForeignPolicy.com: "This tragedy results from the deliberate obstruction of a promising move toward peace in the region, when a reconciliation agreement among the Palestinian factions was announced in April. This was a major concession by Hamas, in opening Gaza to joint control under a technocratic government that did not include any Hamas members. The new government also pledged to adopt the three basic principles demanded by the Middle East Quartet comprised of the United Nations, the United States, the European Union, and Russia: nonviolence, recognition of Israel, and adherence to past agreements. Tragically, Israel rejected this opportunity for peace and has succeeded in preventing the new government's deployment in Gaza."
Lacking truth is the basis of Carter's argument--that the new government pledged to adopt the three basic principles demanded by the Middle East Quartet of recognition of Israel, nonviolence, and adherence to past agreements. The truth that Carter misses is that Hamas refused to recognize Israel, had continued missile attacks on Israeli citizens and paid little to no attention to any past agreements unless it was the UN mandate that Israel give up its land to pre-1967 borders. If you remember, Carter played a major role in deposing the Shah of Iran, which led to the establishment of the radical Ayatollah terrorist-sponsoring government in Iran. Carter is a long time apologist for the Arabs.
Many are confused about Israel. For clarity, go to the Bible. There is a long history that traces back to Isaac and Ishmael. The entire region is being contested even to this day for control over God's covenant with Isaac through Abraham. Jerusalem and Israel are not some esoteric allegory. They are physical and the people are as real today as they were 5,000 years ago. Genesis 17:20-21 says, "And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly: twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation. But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year." That's why Carter and his ilk are on the wrong side.
