Yet again the USA undermines the security of Israel

The american people are solidly pro-Israel, for the very good reason that they understand that the same enemies who attack Israel, also constantly plot and plan to attack americans. Americans know that the outpost of western civilization in the middle east is a solid and dependable ally for americans, updating US weapons, giving american forces Israeli knowhow bought with israeli soldiers' lives.

Yet the US president Obama has from the moment he came to power shown his enmity for Israel. Apart from his friendship with Israel's enemies in the past, his over 20 years relationship with the antisemitic pastor Wright, he has surrounded himself with advisers who have shown not just their hatred of Israel (Samantha Power), but even of friendship with Iran (Kerry).

Obama's latest ruse is that Israel should release over a hundred terrorists who have the blood of over a thousand Israelis on their hands. Would the USA ever release murderers of americans for any reason? Yet Obama has forced Netanyahu to release these killers, not for peace, not even for the hope of peace, but just so that Kerry can put a notch in  his belt.

The killers will be released so that palestinian arab terrorist in chief Muhammad Abbas, the financier of the Munich Olympics Massacre of 1972 will agree to sit at the same table as Israelis.

Has the world gone mad?

I pity Netanyahu because nobody but he knows the pressure the president of the USA put on him. What does come to mind however is Yitchak Shamir's warning around 30 years ago that Netanyahu was not to be trusted. When it comes to Israel's security, Netanyahu can weave a fine speech, can put Obama in his place, but he will nevertheless cave in.

By forcing through the releasing of these blood soaked prisoners Netanyahu has yet again sold Israel out. Israelis will pay with their lives for the 104 terrorists with blood on their hands. The murderers will soon go back to work for a palestinian arab regime which lauds the murderers of  jews constantly, in its press, on tv, with special shows for children preaching hate of jews, with roads and squares named after heinous murderers of jews. In the PA dead terrorists are not dead criminals but 'shahids', 'martyrs'.

Only last week a senior Palestinian Authority official said that peace discussions with Israel were like the 'hadabiya' treaty where the muslim founder Mohammed tricked the jews of Quraish into a ten year treaty. The 'prophet' broke the treaty two years later.

This attack on Israel by Obama and his henchmen is just another front in his attempt to fundamentally undermine the Jewish State. We still have the demand that Israel withdraw from its secure positions on the ancient jewish homelands of Judea and Samaria.

Netanyahu's unwise recognition of the false arab palestinian 'people' was the first mistake. The arabs living in Judea and Samaria want nothing less than the destruction of Israel. It is not land they need, but a warning that their homeland is the territory that is 80% of British Mandatory Palestine, before being broken off by Britain. It is there that they should seek their homeland, and there they will need to go if they attack Israel again.

Netanyahu must not again be allowed to implement such a fundamentally divisive plan to let a large group of murderers out of prison. Israel's security is now heavily damaged, as the head of the Shin Bet Yoram Cohen advised.

"The chance that the prisoners will go back to terrorism is relatively large,” he said. Experience shows that as the years pass from the terrorists' release, they tend to go back to the activity that landed them in jail, he added.

Netanyahu's behavior in recognising the fake arab palestinians, the stopping of the building of housing for jewish communities in Yesha etc has been explained as a way to get the USA to back Israel if it attacks Iran.
This is a ludicrous argument. If Israel attacks Iran's nuclear installations, it will be doing what the USA should itself be doing. Israel does not need to 'buy' the attack by compromising the lives of its people, time after time after time.

Netanyahu has gone too far with this release of the most dastardly of murderers of jews, and has thereby prepared the ground for more and greater demands by Obama for 'concessions' by Israel, even as the middle east seethes with islamic violence.

I first warned about Obama here some years ago. This enemy of Israel keeps inveigling Israel with sweet words whilst undermining its security on many levels, even to setting up a jewish front group, 'J Street' to attack Israel in the name of jews.

Netanyahu knows full well what Obama is about, the man who destroyed the peace in Libya, Mali and Egypt. Yet Netanyahu can not protect Israel from the depredations of this man.  Israel must give no more, and that means Israel's latest appeaser Netanyahu must go.

It is time for the Likud to oust Netanyahu and find a prime minister with a spine.

After the apology Turkey plans the next provocations, and Syria enters the next stage

After Israel's craven apology to  Turkey the turkish pm Erdogan is on a high. To rub salt in the wound he has said that this is just the start, and that  a trip to Gaza is in the offing. Of course there is never an end when Israel gives concessions or land. Further demands follow as night follows day. You can take your pick for examples such as when Israel withdrew from Lebanon in 200 (recognized as a full withdrawal by the UN) we then heard about the Sheva Farms and other villages from 1948. And when Israel froze all settlement in order to help sweeten the atmosphere for talks with palestinian arabs for 10 months (after Obama's arm twisting) Abbas decided he didn't need to talk with Israel as everything was cosy enough in Judea and Samaria (remember that interview with Diel in Wapo?).


From Turkey's Huriyet news:

Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh had already announced March 22, hours after Israel’s apology, that Erdoğan would visit Gaza in the near future.

Taher al-Nunu, spokesman for Ismael Haniyeh, the head of the Hamas government in the Gaza, confirmed that "Recep Tayyip Erdogan will soon visit the Gaza Strip where he will meet with Prime Minister (Haniyeh)".

Yet again Israel has been forced by the USA to give in to arab and muslim terror, for what gain? The more Obama reduces his own country's stature and that of Israel the more muslim terrorists of which Erdogan is a main sponsor, will be emboldened.

Nunu said that Erdogan had called exiled Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal "to tell him Israel had accepted Turkey's conditions: apologies for the murder of the Turkish militants, recognition of (Israel's) responsibility and the lifting of the embargo".

However, Erdoğan was cautious regarding the restoration of diplomatic ties by the appointment of ambassadors.  “We will see what will be put into practice during the process. If they move forward in a promising way, we will make our contribution. Then, there would be an exchange of ambassadors,” he said, adding that the amount of the compensation would be determined by the competent bodies.

And after Israel's apology to a country where anti-semitism is promoted on state media and which has fomented terror against Israel, we see that nothing has changed. Turkey is going to consider whether to restore ties, i.e. look for the next pretexts to reduce the relationship to where the islamists AKP and Erdogan want it. Netanyahu is no fool, he knows that Erdogan has Israel in his sights, Netanyahu knows full well that Turkey is no longer the secular country of Attaturk, but an islamist state that is stoking the fires in Syria next door, that is conducting exercises with the Egyptian navy, which is doing its best to create an islamist ring of states around Israel to throttle it at some future date.

There is no good to be had by showing weakness to islamist countries, but Obama is deaf to all this, just as is Britain and France. All three powers are doing their best, via the good offices of Turkey to supply the islamist sunnis in Syria with all the weapons and training they need to bring Assad down.

And because of this otherwise lunatic policy of helping the West's bitter islamist enemies (Turkey is still a member of Nato, privy to its secrets, funding and all the rights conferred on members not to mention armaments and military help) in fighting Assad, the conflict will not end but be intensified.

How can Western countries even think that Assad is going to be forced out by their helping sunni islamists?
The sunni-shia fault line running through Syria means only that the war will become ever more brutal, and will suck in ever more fighters from both the sunni and shia camps. The internecine civil war in Syria is now and international war of muslims, the Islamic World War in the making.

Israel today took incoming fire with fire hitting a military patrol's jeeps, but luckily there were no casualties. Israel is on high alert on the Golan Heights, but the danger is not so much to Israel but stability in the whole islamic world, most notably in the middle east.

Lebanon which is seeing daily fighting in Tripoli between rival shia and sunni factions is set to 'blow' according to one observer. Lebanon which could have been a peaceful oasis in the middle east has through its determination to never have peace with Israel, has instead determined its own instability and probable destruction as an independent entity, if it has ever been that.

One thing Obama, Cameron and Hollande should know is that Assad might come or go, but the war will go on, because the alawite regime in Syria actively backed by Iran and Hezbollah, supported by Iraq, Russia and China can not fall, whilst Turkey, Egypt, Qatar and Saudi Arabia can not allow the shia to gain ascendancy in the region. 

Obama's last present to Israel was to force it to lose face yet again, in a region where Israel needs its deterrance buttressed. But then Obama, scion of Rashid Khalidi and Edward Said never was about increasing Israel's security but within the context of a US people who are pro-Israel, in reducing that security whilst professing to protect it.

Obama finally reveals his attitude towards Israel, and indicates the rocky road ahead

Obama bows before the king of Saudi Arabia where slavery and abuse of women and children is official policy

Obama informed a journalist Jeffrey Goldberg that Israel is “a small state, already a pariah, and one that may not even survive unless it changes its behaviour.”
Now that Obama feels untouchable in his second term he has at long last come out with some of his true feelings towards Israel. I don't believe he will ever reveal more about the true depth of his hatred of Israel but we must be thankful that Obama has not managed to restrain himself before the Israeli elections in a week's time.

Until now Obama has been clever whilst undermining Israel. He has always expressed his support for Israel whilst having the 'jewish' anti-Israel organisation J Street established to undermine Israel's strong support amongst the american people.  Obama always used his minions to attack Israel, and took every opportunity to snub Netanyahu when he came to the USA. Indeed the attacks in the last administration came at times on an almost daily basis. Obama has undermined Israel's security like never before whilst throwing it a bone of extra aid for the 'Iron Dome' and 'security cooperation' (a two way street - Israel only recently used back channels to warn Syria off an attack on Jordan, and Israel's intelligence has been proved to be far superior to that of the USA with regards to Iran. The Israelis were incredulous when the National Intelligence Estimate 2007 stated that Iran had given up its nuclear weapons ambitions. The US which relies on electronic intelligence and the odd turned scientist was very badly misled, as evidenced by recent IAEA reports).

Obama takes the credit for the Iron Dome because it was part funded by the US. Iron Dome a magnificent israeli technological achievment was developed just in time to prevent hundreds or even thousands of israeli deaths when over a thousand islamist Hamas missiles hit Israel in November 2012 (Israel would have needed to develop it in any case without the aid).

But when the effect of Obama's policies are taken into account, of deposing Ghadaffi and thus destabilising the whole of North Africa right up to Sinai (Ghadaffi's anti-tank missiles and heavy guns have appeared in Gaza), handing Egypt to the Muslim Brotherhood sworn to Israel's destruction (just this week we found out about Morsy's "apes and pigs" comments, added to his calls for Jihad before he was elected president).

And now the US is sending 200 more Abrams tanks and 20 more F16 planes to add to the 200 hundred Egypt already possesses. Hezbollah controlled Lebanon is receiving more arms Of course there was that $20 billions arms deal signed only last year with Saudi Arabia, and the intention to supply islamist Turkey at least 100 F35's  stealth fighters. Israel might be able to order 20 of them.

Obama makes a show of giving Israel some weapons, but knows that the tiny state of Israel is being in effect swamped by the massive arms transfers to arab states, and by the extreme insecurity now being created as a result of Obama's policies. This includes the hotting up of the Sinai border in the south with lethal attacks on the border road (now closed for a year at least because of the increasing risks to civilians) and missiles fired at Eilat, to the never ending attacks coming from arabs of Gaza and the 'palestinian' territories. The 70,000 missiles pointed at Israel from Lebanon and the ever present menace of Hezbollah, the instability on the border with Syria and the possibility that Jordan will also fall to the islamists in the coming year or two. Added to this is added to the threat from a soon to be nuclear armed Iran with the stated intention of destroying a country the size of Wales, smaller than the state of New Jersey.

Obama's remarks and policies from the very beginning of his first presidency have served to undermine Israel's standing in the middle east (Whilst missing out Israel on his visit to the middle east, Obama stopped off in Cairo to explain how Israel was founded because of the Holocaust. i.e. Jews have no history or right there, that europe just dumped its jews on the arabs, a propaganda point that arabs do not cease making, however incorrect.). Of course one's standing and security in the region is also determined by who your friends are.
Were Israel to lose its best friend and ally, arabs would feel that Israel's destruction as being brought that much closer, with reason. And Obama has worked hard to bring that point home to Israel.
It is possible to go on all day about how Obama has worked to undermine Israel's security. Clever he has been, expressing his full support for Israel's security whilst undermining it.




Indeed contrary to all evidence Obama assures Israel it will be secure if it withdraws from its ancient homelands in Judea and Samaria. Nothing could be further from the truth, as the experience of the withdrawal from Gaza, Lebanon and most of Judea and Samaria showed. Israelis live on just 4% of Judea and Samaria, but they live on the hilltops overlooking Tel-Aviv, Herzliya and Haifa. Arabs never valued the hills which are unproductive, but to destroy Israel it is essential to take the hills from Israel. Obama understands this as well as the arabs. And that is why he has re-interpreted UN resolution 242 to make Israel withdraw from even from the rump of its ancient lands.


Congress shows the american people's love for america's greatest ally Israel with repeated standing ovations for PM Netanyahu

Obama can take some painful actions against Israel, not least at the UN. But Netanyahu must stand firm about now building up Judea and Samaria in the face of continued violence against jews and the near daily genocidal comments and praise for terrorists with much jewish blood on their hands. Abbas the so-called 'moderate' has lately also come out with praise for those who killed. No surprise but he has also dropped the mask.

Netanyahu who although a great speaker and communicator has shown himself weak, has fully supported his defence minister Barak a convinced appeaser who set himself against the return of jewish life to Judea and Samaria and acted tirelessly to destroy outposts and even settlements.

The good news is that the Israeli public has had enough. Israelis want no more of empty promises of peace, and now realise that in the middle east peace comes through the barrel of a gun, not through giving away territory and begging for peace. The coming elections will reinforce the nationalists and send a message to the world that Israel will not commit suicide by handing any more essential strategic territory to enemies whose appetite is never sated.

So we should thank Obama for finally informing us of his feelings towards 'pariah' Israel. Some of us realised what this man was about when he chose Cairo to attack Israel from, if not sooner. Israel will now take Obama's exhortations to heart and indeed change its behaviour, although maybe not in the way the author of the remarks intended.

Israel's future is looking more assured now its people is becoming more united. Europe is a dying continent that has lost its will to survive. The people of the USA are different. Americans have an inherent understanding of their place in history and they identify with Israel as being part of that history. American feelings for Israel are reflected in Congress' lengthy standing ovations to Netanyahu even whilst Obama was lambasting it and trying to impose a new concept of 1967 'borders' (i.e. the 1949 armistice lines) on Israel. Obama lost that battle (thank you Canada) as he lost the battle to throttle the continued building jewish life in a tiny part of Judea and Samaria (arabs control the overwhelming mass of the area contrary to the propaganda).

A united political front in Israel will after the election resist Obama and other enemies of the Jewish People. With so many other problems in the world, an Obama chastened by previous encounters with Netanyahu will most likely not be able to cause too much damage to Israel.
