Grow Up Folks, Obama is NOT Selling Out Israel
The blogs are abuzz today with the revelation that the Obama administration is seriously considering pressuring Israel to accept the Middle East peace plan that the Saudis first floated six years ago.
Barack Obama is to pursue an ambitious peace plan in the Middle East involving the recognition of Israel by the Arab world in exchange for its withdrawal to pre-1967 borders, according to sources close to America’s president-elect.
Obama intends to throw his support behind a 2002 Saudi peace initiative endorsed by the Arab League and backed by Tzipi Livni, the Israeli foreign minister and leader of the ruling Kadima party. The proposal gives Israel an effective veto on the return of Arab refugees expelled in 1948 while requiring it to restore the Golan Heights to Syria and allow the Palestinians to establish a state capital in east Jerusalem.
On a visit to the Middle East last July, the president-elect said privately it would be “crazy” for Israel to refuse a deal that could “give them peace with the Muslim world”, according to a senior Obama adviser.
Is this going to happen?
Hard to imagine Israel accepting it but if they do, it is not Obama who should shoulder the blame. The left has been trying to throw Israel under the bus for decades and Obama is nothing if not a hard leftist but it will not be his fault if this very lopsided deal that only serves to weaken Israel occurs.
Here is where I piss off a whole bunch of folks.
Any damage done to the security or sovereignty of the state of Israel can be placed directly in the laps of AMERICAN JEWS. History could easily record that the greatest single threat ever faced by Israel was the AMERICAN JEW.
Jews in America have become almost as much a monolithic voting block as African Americans and it is overwhelmingly not in the interest of Israel.
According to the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs:
Only Ronald Reagan among Republican presidential candidates was able to break this pattern when he received nearly 38 percent of the Jewish vote in 1980. Traditionally, Republican candidates for the White House receive around 18 percent of the national Jewish vote.
According to data collected over the past several years, an overwhelming majority of Jews – 73 percent – describe themselves as moderate or liberal.
So to my Jewish friends I remind you that elections have consequences.
Obama and the far left has never been a friend of Israel yet your community has consistently supported leaders that would do harm to your homeland.
Why would I raise my sword to defend those who create their own peril?

Hmmm…
Worth noting that just now ‘The Press’ is laboring to lower expectations.
The empty suit isn’t yet in office.
Your overall point is certainly valid in that I certainly don’t understand Jewish voting trends here.
Pay attention to those trends in Israel. They’re in the midst of their elections.
While I have no particular interest in “Jews”, I do pay close attention to the state of Israel. Regarding Moslems; what happens to Israel, could well happen to us. She is the Canary in the mine, or the point on patrol. That we have declared ourselves to be an ally of Israel, the die is cast. To do any less than support her would put us in bad light. Still, I wonder how there can be so many kool-aid drinkers amongst the jews. Don’t they see this as we non-jews do? When I read Haaretz or the Jerusulem News, I am amazed at the anti-Israel sentiment they express.

I am old, out of work, and tired.
So I spend a lot of my time reading. I have a long list of blogs and other sites that I visit regularly.
That list used to include a lot of places that are apparently “Jewish” in some sense or other (I don’t know for sure, “Jewishness” had little to do with why I read them.
When Sarah Palin became a hot topic the vitriol and nastiness on many of them was more than I wanted put up with, so I’ve dropped them all (the ones that got nasty, I don’t know if any of the ones I still read are “Jewish” or not.
The situation puzzles me greatly. I can’t see a rational argument against the notion that the Republicans in general and George Bush in particular are the best friends Israel had.
Were they banking on Obama reneging on his campaign rhetoric?
FO said: When I read Haaretz or the Jerusulem News, I am amazed at the anti-Israel sentiment they express.
Exactly my point. I read those daily. If current trends continue it won’t matter much WHO is President here.
Israel is, indeed, the bellwhether.
What consequences could a sellout (by whoever) have on us?
You know, the Israelis are supposed to have an estimated 150 to 200 nuclear warheads, and God-Knows-What biological capabilities, with which to exercise a “Samson” option.
And this ain’t the “Turn the other cheek” crowd; I don’t think they’re into that part of the Book.
Is Obama going to sternly warn the Israelis, in the event they get overrun, or Haifa and Tel Aviv disappear under mushroom clouds,
“DON’T YOU DARE OVERREACT!”?

An exercise for the students:
As Israeli Defense Force Chief of Staff ) or whatever the rank is), you are ordered to design a “Samson” option to (in the event of Holocaust II) take down as many of those bastards with you as possible, given the possible capabilities mentioned above.
What would you consider?
Would “those bastards” include countries (including so-called allies) that just stood by and let it happen?
What would really do the most damage to them?
(All of this assuming that you will not go gently into the good night.)

Isn’t lowered expectations of black people one of the traditional forms of liberal racism?
She [Israel] is the Canary in the mine, or the point on patrol. That we have declared ourselves to be an ally of Israel, the die is cast. To do any less than support her would put us in bad light. ~Frankly Opinionated
I take it more personal than that. It doesn’t just put us in a bad light, rather it would make us, as a nation, shameless hypocrites with zero integrity.
It is our moral obligation to help Israel.

American Jews voting for Obama is as confounding a majority of the Catholic vote going to Obama. I’m a Catholic and I don’t know how other Catholics and Jews could vote for a man who is the most anti-life person ever elected to be President. Obama promised Planned Parenthood and NARAL that he would sign into law the Freedom of Choice Act, that would remove restrictions on abortion in all 50 states.
Any Christian, Catholic of Jew who voted for Hussein O should burn their bible and close their eyes when they pass a church. To do otherwise just provides more proof you are a phony and a hypocrite. It’s really that simple. Maybe you can join Revrund Wright’s anti-american, anti-christ, racist church and set with your lord and master Hussein O.
As a Jew, I have no problem with what you just wrote, COB6. Why not? Because this Jew did not vote for Obama. But 95% of the Jews I know did!
