Obama: JEWS -and Jews Alone Among All The Peoples of the World- Must Not Build HOUSES

 

This Peace business is the biggest lie of our times. If we could all just call it what it really is... Sheer Hatred ... it would be a lot more honest. Then we could have the hate process, a hate deal, hate activists (from Hate Now), teams of officials negotiating the hate, and even concessions for hate. It would make so much more sense.  --BtB Jan. 2008

 

 
  
Surely Hussein Obama is the MOST ANTISEMITIC AMERICAN PRESIDENT EVER. Maybe Jimmah Carter beat this in his day, but I doubt it. From The Guardian (UK):

.... In a half-hour address to leaders of the 192 countries that form the UN general assembly, Obama depicted the crisis over settlements as a test that was fast approaching. "Israel's settlement moratorium has made a difference on the ground, and improved the atmosphere for talks. ... We believe that the moratorium should be extended. We also believe that talks should press on until completed. Now is the time for the parties to help each other overcome this obstacle."

 

Even as Obama supposedly "told supporters of an independent Palestinian state to 'stop trying to tear Israel down,' " there he was, saying that Israel must not build. Is it not only a matter of degree that separates tearing down from a prohibition of building up?

It blows my mind that seemingly fair and rational people (I'm not talking about the President now) would even consider suggesting that Jews alone, among all the peoples of the world, should not build houses for themselves.  This is the most outrageous bigotry I have ever witnessed.

Can you imagine someone, anyone, standing up in front of the United Nations and saying that Danes must not build in the suburbs of Copenhagen?

... or that Swedes can have no more houses in Gullholmen?

 
How about if the President of the United States announced to the leaders of 192 countries at the UN that "African Americans" (or Catholics or Neo-Nazis, for that matter) must not be allowed to build houses in Denver?

Even at the height of actual apartheid, no one ever said that construction should be forbidden in Cape Town.

All these (and many more) incredible aerial photographs by Yann Arthus-Bertrand are from a collection called Earth from Above -- seen at http://justpaste.it/3ky.

 

And then we have places where Jews live. in "settlements."  Like Modi'in Illit.

 The town was founded in 1990, just over the Green Line, to offer unexpensive housing to large Haredi families from Jerusalem and Bnei Brak. It was originally called Kiryat Sefer. At the end of 2008 it had a population of more than 41,000, making it the largest settlement on the West Bank. The weekly birthrate is 45, or 2,500 babies annually, which makes for a lot of children...

The annual growth rate is 9.5%, which means that in the six months since Obama [first] demanded that Israel stop building on the West Bank, the population of Modi'in Illit has grown by about 2,000 people.  This requires additional housing....

 

David Hornick writes of what The Specter of Palestine, raised by Obama at the UN, would ostensibly require of Israel's Jews:

.... Even if Israel were to retain the larger settlement blocs close to the 1967 borders, the number of settlers who would have to be evacuated from the West Bank—making room for the Jew-free Palestinian state—would be in the neighborhood of 100,000 or higher. Israel with its notoriously slow, difficult bureaucracy has failed at resettling 10,000 people. If one wonders how it would succeed at resettling 100,000, it is indeed a good question.

 

And finally, Caroline Glick brings us full circle (back to my previous post about the world hating Jews) in What The Left Is Really After:

.... It is religious Zionism, which looks to Jerusalem rather than to Tel Aviv, that drives the Left to distraction. It is the hope of destroying religious Zionism by destroying the Jewish presence in Judea and Samaria and eastern Jerusalem - the Jewish nerve center of the country - that keeps the Left on its path. This truth was exposed in a Haaretz editorial published in July 2005, a month before 10,000 predominantly religious Israelis were expelled from their homes in Gaza and northern Samaria.

 

As the Left's mouthpiece explained, "The disengagement of Israeli policy from its religious fuel is the real disengagement currently on the agenda.  On the day after the disengagement, religious Zionism's status will be different."

 

 

The moral of the story, boys and girls, is Be Not Disengaged. Not from the Gd of Israel, nor from his gifts, nor from our brothers and sisters.

 

.... Indeed, when Avraham Avinu is chosen by the Ribono Shel Olam to found the nation which would eventually accept the Torah at Har Sinai, he is told by Hashem, “and to your children I will give this land” (Lech L’cha 12:7).

 

Why didn’t Hashem first mention the giving of the Torah to his descendants before the promise of Eretz Yisrael?

 

Rav Tzuriel suggests that they are one and the same.

 

When Hashem promised the Land of Israel to Avraham, He was not merely giving him a homeland in which his children would live; He promised that his children would be given the opportunity to keep the Torah in the land designated for its fulfillment for that is the essence of Eretz Yisrael (see T’hillim 105:44-45).

Wonderful post, Yael! To put it alliteratively, the prose is perfect and the pictures are priceless. According to a Fox News report just a few minutes ago, Netanyahu has issued a statement asking settlers to proceed with "restraint" when the settlement ban ceases in about seven hours. This would pretty clearly imply that Bibi has no intention of extending the ban. Let's pray that's the case.

[Larry Sheldon]

This will seem to be a hostile question, and I suppose in some dimensions, it is. But I ask it as an outsider, one who for a long time has read blogs and such that are for one reason or another known to be "Jewish" in outlook, tone, whatever. I read (present tense) them, read (past tense) because they are (were) interesting, contain (contained) information and viewpoints I could not find elsewhere, and because truth and reliability are important to them. But when it became clear that this man was going to be elected I said (edited for length, I have already rambled too long) "Are you out of your minds?!? This man is the worst news you have had in 70 years!" My question: Why was I driven away from so many "Jewish" blogs (for want of a better descriptor)?

[Yael]

Larry, I'm sorry I have no answer for you, other than to say that driving people away from one's blog would seem to me to be counterintuitive and counterproductive (I can't imagine having so many readers that I would feel free to purposefully drive some of them away!). If what you're really asking is "What's the matter with the Jews?" That's a good question, one that I am asked all the time by my Christian colleagues in the Tea Parties. I have no easy answer. I can refer you to Norman Podhoretz's book, Why Are Jews Liberal? where he basically says that Jews abandoned the demanding and strenuous practice of Judaism to worship at the altar of feel-good, do-nothing, liberalism. Or I can send you to Adin Steinsaltz, who (if I read him correctly) sees our problem as an outgrowth of our talent for surviving as chameleons, developed over centuries of persecution, such that we have come to believe in our own disguises. Or I can tell you how an Iranian Jewess (who was part of the effort to overthrow the shah and install a mullocracy) explained that Jews simply "love a revolution." If you are at all religious, I would remind you that Hashem killed four fifths of the Jews in Egypt during the plague of Darkness because they were wicked and didn't want to leave Egypt; only the remaining one fifth left in the Exodus. And even they were not allowed to reach the promised land, but rather had to die out before the next generation was allowed to obtain the inheritance of the Jewish people. Or I could tell you that most Jews have inherited a deep exhaustion that comes from being hated and beaten down, no matter where, no matter when. We have perhaps been guilty of "looking for love in all the wrong places." But in terms of Obama's election, as much as Jews were every bit as gullible as the next guy -and maybe even more so- we are only two percent of the population in America. Even if the Jews had been widely blessed to "know better," Hussein Obama would still have won the election. Maybe you should go ask the young voters and the black community, both of which came out in record numbers to vote for Obama, what's the matter with THEM... Maybe they are better able to vouch for themselves than I am, for the Jews. Just thinking about it makes me tired, and not a little sad.

Much of your recitation I knew (or should have known) but there were new things as well. For one, the percentages you quote are a lot lower than I thought, but even at two percent, that would have been a 4 percent swing. (Before I continue let me say that I am no McCain fan--I believed then (not so sure now) that he would have done less damage. I also hoped that he would listen to Palin. But back to the 2 percent. I don't believe it is uniformly distributed across the country. I believe (without actually having quotable facts at hand) that it occurs in clumps and bunches and as such in effect elects individual electors in the Electoral College, and elects individual Representatives and Senators in some cases. And I believe their influence on others is more pronounced than realized. And your invocation of the Exodus may be prescient--I have co e to believe that the survival of our country might in fact have depended on us traversing this valley of fire. Maybe the fifth has awakened and will lead us (or our children) out. As to what happened to the others? Universities and their leftist faculty. Slow erosion and rot since Woodrow Wilson's time that has addicted us all to entitlements and the "attractions" of socialism. I don't know. At 71 years I probably won't know. But I hope. (For what it is worth--I am a Christian--raised mostly a Presbyterian, experiment with a lot of other Protestant churches, at one point thought I was madly in love with a Roman Catholic--her church cured me of that. At another point I was madly in love with a Jew--her family welcomed me and I felt good--the romance curdled on issues that had nothing to do with religion or heritage. I decided as a young man that my readings of the New Testament showed nothing requiring the participation of organized religion for my salvation. I am married to an Episcopal Deacon and participate minimally in that church. But I think that when I have a need for strong preaching and teaching, an hour or two of Glenn Beck's radio or TV program is the place to go.)

"I have come to believe" it says at one point--dunno where the "m" went.

[Larry Sheldon]

Farther down the B list (no shame there--it is just the way the Alphabet works around here) I saw this: http://www.brutallyhonest.org/brutally_honest/2010/09/what-separates-heaven-from-hell.html ( http://tinyurl.com/28vo8h7 same place). Not sure how it fits here, but I sense that it does, somehow. Please understand that I have a Grand Canyon more affection for the lion than I do anybody in power in our governments today).

[Larry Sheldon]

I don't understand. http://scaramouchee.blogspot.com/2010/09/jewish-boat-to-gaza.html

[Larry Sheldon]

But for clarity: I don't understand "feminists" like some of my daughters supporting Moslems either.
