Obama’s anti-Zionism has been nurtured over the years and cultivated through the left-wing crowd he always felt comfortable in.
by Daniel Pipes
Were Barack Obama reelected, I predicted two months before the November 2012 presidential vote, “the coldest treatment of Israel ever by a U.S. president will follow. Well, the election is over and that cold treatment is firmly in place. Obama has signaled in the past two months what lies ahead by:
Choosing three senior figures — John Kerry for State, John Brennan for the CIA, and Chuck Hagel for Defense — who range from clueless about Israel to hostile toward it.
[......]
Asked about Obama’s nomination of Hagel, Ed Koch, the former New York City mayor who despite his astringent criticism of Obama nonetheless endorsed him for reelection, offered an astonishing response: “I thought that there would come a time when [Obama] would renege on . . . his support of Israel [but this] comes a little earlier than I thought.” Even Obama’s pro-Israel supporters expected him to turn against the Jewish state.
These anti-Israel steps raise worries because they jibe with Obama’s early anti-Zionist views. We lack specifics, but we know that he studied with, befriended, socialized with, and encouraged Palestinian extremists. Take, for example, anti-Israel theorist Edward Said. A picture from 1998 shows Obama listening raptly to Said as he delivered the keynote speech at an Arab community event in Chicago. Or consider former PLO public-relations operative Rashid Khalidi, then Obama pal. In 2003, at an event to honor Khalidi, Obama sat idly by as speakers accused Israel of waging a terrorist campaign against Palestinians and compared “Zionist settlers on the West Bank” to Osama bin Laden. Ali Abunimah, an anti-Israel agitator, commended Obama in 2004 for “his call for an even-handed approach to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict,” code words for distancing the U.S. government from Israel. [.......]
Abunimah also reveals that, starting in 2002, Obama toned down his anti-Israel rhetoric “as he planned his move from small-time Illinois politics to the national scene.” Obama made this explicit two years later, apologizing to Abunimah: “Hey, I’m sorry I haven’t said more about Palestine right now, but we are in a tough primary race. I’m hoping when things calm down I can be more up front.”
And Obama dutifully tacked in the pro-Israel direction, if in a cramped and reluctant manner (“I have to deal with him every day,” he complained about Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu). He supported Israel in its 2008–2009 and 2012 wars with Hamas. His administration called the Goldstone Report “deeply flawed” and backed Israel at the United Nations with lobbying efforts, votes, and vetoes. Armaments flowed. [.......] When Ankara canceled Israeli participation in the 2009 “Anatolian Eagle” air-force exercise, the U.S. government pulled out in solidarity. If Obama created crises over Israeli housing starts, he eventually allowed these to simmer down.
Returning to the present: Netanyahu’s likely reelection as Israeli prime minister this week will mean continuity of leadership in both countries. But that does not imply continuity in U.S.-Israel relations; after a decade of political positioning, Obama is now freed from reelection constraints and can finally express his early anti-Zionist views. Watch for a markedly worse tone from the second Obama administration toward the third Netanyahu government.
[........]
I also predicted in September that “Israel’s troubles will really begin” should Obama win a second term. These troubles have begun; Jerusalem, brace for a rough four years.

The narrative has already been written. Hillary has “accepted responsibility” but is personally blameless. She never heard about any requests for additional security, but if they were made, it’s the House Republicans’ fault they weren’t acted on. Those responsible at State have been fired, but they actually just got new titles.
Anything contrary will be dismissed as “partisan bickering” or a “witch hunt.”

Probably true. On the previous thread, Buzzsawmi=onkey posted a link to a post of his on guns and need, taking down the arguement that you don’t “need an assault rifle”. It is funny, we give tanks and warplanes to Egypt, and don’t ask what they need them for. If they aren’t planning to eventually use them against Israel, what are they for? Are they planning on invading Algeria? Because with their budget, there is no way that they can project power as far away as Mali.

Or three or four. When I am training my self-defense, I often posit three or four attackers for how the scenario would go down. Part of that is from past experience (I’ve been the victim of violent crime), but part of it is just common sense. Common Sense dictates that you want as large a gun as you are capable of handling in caliber, with as great a magazine capacity as you can support if you are the victim of violent crime. A gun is not amagic wand. You don’t wave it at the enemy and he just lies down. They get to fight back too. It’s in the rules…

The object of this is to get women killed in combat on the notion that Americans will hate war more for seeing women killed. These women are nothing but cannon fodder to the anti-war movement. That they won’t be physically up to the job just makes it more likley that they’ll be killed, and thus serve in their real mission.
It is Father Christmas who tells Susan and Lucy that, although he has given them weapons, they are not supposed to fight in the battle. Lucy objects, saying “I think – I don’t know – but I think I could be brave enough.” But Father Christmas tells her that “battles are ugly when women fight”

He already has experience lying in front of Senate committees, so he’ll do fine.

Help me out with this comparison. I never watched the movie Shindler’s List so I may be wrong. I am of the understanding that this so called hero Shindler had a list of Jews who possessed critical skills relating to the Nazi war effort. I also understand that most of the people on the list were in fact intellectuals academics and artisans with little ability and skills to preform the tasks they were assigned to. So I assume that the real skilled people who were displaced by those more equal were killed. This brings me to my rather obtuse point. Do people like Kotch and the Hollywood elites believe the will be spared beheading by the islamist hoard?
Gen. Mattis, the great Marine general is retiring (getting kicked out according to Tom Ricks). Here are 19 of his best quotes.
My fave: “I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you f* with me, I’ll kill you all.”

The premise is wrong. It was a rag tag, accidental group of Jews that came from one camp. I think the name of the camp was Plazlow -- something like that -- and most of the Jews had been rounded up from Cracow Poland.
@ eaglesoars:
Good find. And that is the very best quotation.
John “Bought and paid for” Boehner finally figures out that Obama is trying to destroy the GOP.
Boehner: I can only conclude from that inaugural speech that Obama wants to annihilate the GOP

If I thought he would actually do something about it, it would be different.
Buffalobob wrote:
Schindler was a Nazi party member, black-marketer and profiteer. As a Sudeten German, a “favored minority” within the Nazi party, he took over a factory in occupied Poland that made enameled dishware. He staffed it with slave labor from the nearby concentration camp. He managed to get the Nazi government to contract to buy his enamelware as “essential war material,” and thereby had a favored position as a defense contractor.
He acquired a proprietary attitude towards “his” Jews, whether the same way that a slaveowner in the pre-Civil War South might beat one of his own slaves to death but defend “his” slaves against anyone else doing so, as an encroachment on his own rights, or whether he realized that it would be good to have friendly witnesses on his behalf in case Germany lost the war, or perhaps even from some smidgen of compassionate feeling, who can say?
Certainly he lived off “his Jews” after the war; he was unable to function without favored-minority status, government contract fiddling, and black-marketeering. The Jews he had saved were more or less glad enough to contribute tribute to his maintenance, since he had saved their lives.

One wonders why Boehner didn’t tumble to Obama wanting to destroy the GOP at, say, the first debt ceiling conference in 2011.

Well, if the sources are accurate, he helped them lose the war. At one point his factory was producing ammunition -- that never worked.

One gets the impression that he was a conman, looking to bilk his way to a fortune. The easiest way to do that, then as now, is get some nice sweetheart government contracts—and only deliver what you have to.

Oh he most certainly was!! Unfortunately, his cons were rarely successful, which is why ‘his’ Jews supported him. I don’t know when exactly his wife divorced him -- I know she was still alive when Schindler’s List hit the theaters -- and she made no bones about the fact that she STILL hated him (he was quite the philanderer) -- but she never attmepted to discredit his devotion to the Jews in his care or the risks he took for them. If she could have, she would have.

Sorry to come late, but regarding 0′s muzzness I have said it before I fear he will push Israel to the point where they are forced to do the unthinkable.

Those F-16s wouldn’t last long against Israel. They’re stripped-down models, and besides, the Egyptian pilots aren’t that good.

Thank you thank you thank you.
I don’t remember the title but I read a book about the 6 day war -- the Egyptian military did not come off well in terms of command structure, etc.
Now Gen’l McInernney is disputing you -- saying the planes are quite good -- ‘block 52′
??
I saw Giuliani on Hannity tonight and he asked “Where is the military threat to Egypt?”.
@ buzzsawmonkey: Thank you for the information. I should watch the movie.
