It’s Israel double-standard time

Posted on June 3, 2011 | Comments Off on It’s Israel double-standard time

My Israeli pal Snoopy-the-Goon really did his homework on this one—stunning evidence of how the U.S. got praised for the extra-legal killing of the terrorist figurehead bin Laden, while Israel got condemned for offing (in the very same manner) an active terrorist operative of Hamas.

Obamalot’s Israel insults go way back

Posted on June 1, 2011 | Comments Off on Obamalot’s Israel insults go way back

Bibi’s “lecturing” of Obamalot provoked some of the administration’s pundit acolytes. But Bibi had been under the One’s guns for some time and must have felt a riposte was overdue.

“After one of his meetings with Netanyahu, Barack Obama simply told the prime minister that he was going upstairs to have dinner. You wouldn’t say that to an ordinary neighbor visiting in your home, without inviting him to join you.

“Obama knew that. Netanyahu knew that. It was a calculated insult. And the American public would have heard about it, if so much of the media didn’t have such a hear-no-evil, see-no-evil and speak-no-evil attitude in its coverage of Barack Obama.”

As always, Thomas Sowell is worth a read.

Israel is an American value

Posted on May 26, 2011 | Comments Off on Israel is an American value

I think that’s absolutely true and it explains why Obamalot’s attempt to sandbag Bibi before he arrived to speak to Congress blew up in their face. Not only did they spend the next few days backing and filling to explain what their leader really meant, the Congress, itself, rebuked them with all those standing ovations for Bibi, who likewise eviscerated Obamalot.

Says Walter Russell Mead: “Obama’s political isolation on this issue, and the haste with which liberal Democrats like Nancy Pelosi left the embattled President to take the heat alone, testify to the pervasive sense in American politics that Israel is an American value.  Said the Minority Leader to the Prime Minister: ‘I think it’s clear that both sides of the Capitol believe you advance the cause of peace.’”

Next up, from the so-called Palestinian Arabs, a new intifada. To be answered, undoubtedly, with air strikes and artillery.

Read it all.

UPDATE: New CAMERA Poll finds “The overwhelming majority of American Jews are cognizant of threats to Israel, protective of the country, cautious about risks and strongly opposed to such measures as boycotts, including boycotts of settlements.”

There’s still hope for the Arab Spring

Posted on May 26, 2011 | Comments Off on There’s still hope for the Arab Spring

“For decades we watched protesters in the Middle East burn the flags of America, the UK and Israel, as these countries were believed to represent the ‘enemies of the people.’ For the first time, we see protesters burn the flags of Iran, Russia and Hezbollah for a change! Are we witnessing a moment of redefining the ‘enemies of the people’ in the Middle East?”

Obama: Our anti-Israel president

Posted on May 24, 2011 | Comments Off on Obama: Our anti-Israel president

Bret Stephens is a former editor-in-chief of the Jerusalem Post. But he’s still a sharp enough journalist to recognize mendacity when he hears it in between all the usual bromides.

“…the essence of his proposal is that Israel should cede territory, put itself into a weaker position, and then hope for the best…,” Stephens writes in the Wall Street Journal.

“What, then, would a pro-Israel president do? He would tell Palestinians that there is no right of return. He would make the reform of the Arab mindset toward Israel the centerpiece of his peace efforts. He would outline hard and specific consequences should Hamas join the government.

“Such a vision could lay the groundwork for peace. What Mr. Obama offered is a formula for war….”

A war that we will likely finance with the millions of dollars in welfare “aid” we still dole out to the terror-loving Palestinians every year.

AND:  Jerusalem specifically asked Obama before his speech not to adopt the Palestinian position of the “1967 lines” (which actually refers to the 1949 armistice lines) but they got a rebuke when our anti-Israel president did it anyway.

MORE:  There really should be no surprise here, considering Barry’s background, including his anti-Jewish pastor of twenty-something years.
