Obama Administration’s Threefold Slap in Israel’s Face

Obama Administration’s Threefold Slap in Israel’s Face

Worried about losing some of the Jewish vote for 2012, President Obama has been sweet-talking American Jews lately and making some staunchly pro-Israel statements. In September he told the UN General Assembly:

Let us be honest with ourselves: Israel is surrounded by neighbors that have waged repeated wars against it. Israel’s citizens have been killed by rockets fired at their houses and suicide bombs on their buses. Israel’s children come of age knowing that throughout the region, other children are taught to hate them. Israel, a small country of less than eight million people, look[s] out at a world where leaders of much larger nations threaten to wipe it off of the map. The Jewish people carry the burden of centuries of exile and persecution, and fresh memories of knowing that six million people were killed simply because of who they are. Those are facts. They cannot be denied.

Strong stuff—the kind of stuff really pro-Israel people really say, and think.

But no one should be fooled. In recent days, statements by two very senior officials and one lesser official have shown that this administration remains relentlessly anti-Israel in some of its basic attitudes.

US senators proposed a resolution on Thursday opposing any Israeli withdrawal to 1967 lines, dealing a symbolic blow to President Barack Obama’s efforts to renew peace talks.

“It is contrary to United States policy and national security to have the borders of Israel return to the armistice lines that existed on June 4, 1967,” read the text introduced by Senators Orrin Hatch, a Utah Republican, and Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut Independent.

Obama and Israel: Is it Ignorance or Arrogance?

Obama and Israel: Is it Ignorance or Arrogance?

By Jan Markell

June 1, 2011

The fanfare is over. Benjamin Netanyahu has left the building. He has returned to Israel and he and the Israelis realize that they are on their own. The President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama, has identified himself as the most anti-Israel President in history. But he does not speak for all of the American people and he does not speak for all of Congress. There may be only a few issues in Washington that have bi-partisan support, but one of those issues is that both the Right and the Left in Congress — with a few exceptions — remain an ally of God’s covenant land. Many of them are trying to hold back the water from the hole in the dam that would make the Islamic empire the chosen people.

My only surprise concerning the Netanyahu-Obama events was the people’s surprise! That is, that the American people reacted with seeming shock at the events that transpired from May 19-23. It was a slam dunk that this would happen! One can start with Obama’s book The Audacity of Hope. In it he states, “When the ill winds blow, I will always stand with the Muslims.” And wasn’t it just a few short months ago that Obama ditched Netanyahu and company at the White House for dinner with his family. It was that meeting where Bibi Netanyahu was lectured and left stunned and bewildered — and then he actually came back for more!

Unprecedented

Unprecedented

by David Brog

Last week, both President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu staked out their positions on the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Their speeches have launched a thousand commentaries about Israel’s pre-1967 borders and the best way to achieve peace in the Middle East. But missed in this torrent of talk were three significant departures from prior positions.

In his May 19th speech, President Obama declared that “the borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps.” Not only did the President emphasize the ’67 lines, but he did so in the absence of any corresponding Palestinian concessions. Both in his original speech and in his clarification of that speech before AIPAC, President Obama failed to mention the key Palestinian concession – the rejection of the Palestinian “right of return” to Israel, i.e. the “right” of the millions of grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the original 1948 refugees to “return” to Israel and turn it into another Arab state.

Where Obama is leading Israel

Where Obama is leading Israel

by Caroline Glick

In the aftermath of US President Barack Obama’s May 19 speech on the Middle East, his supporters argued that the policy toward Israel and the Palestinians that Obama outlined in that speech was not anti-Israel. As they presented it, Obama’s assertion that peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians must be based on the 1967 lines with agreed swaps does not mark a substantive departure from the positions adopted by his predecessors in the Oval Office.

But this claim is exposed as a lie by previous administration statements.

Canada further emerged as Israel’s new best friend on the international stage at last week’s G8 Summit in Deauville, France.

Playing off US President Barack Obama’s recent foreign policy speeches, the G8 leaders were keen to use their closing statment to demand that Israel retreat to its 1967 borders.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper was having none of it.

Obama vs Netanyahu, Round Three

Obama vs Netanyahu, Round Three

by Daniel Pipes
May 24, 2011

Barack Obama gave two major policy speeches about the Middle East in quick succession, May 19 and 22; and while he discussed a number of Middle East topics, the Arab-Israeli conflict portion received the lion’s share of attention. Analysts and politicians who care about the Middle East’s only democratic country (yes, I use that formulation now that Turkey is under AKP control) have excoriated Obama and see Israel in great jeopardy. For example, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich called the speech “a disaster” and said that Obama, in effect, asked Israel “to commit suicide.”

I see things more positively for Israel. My reasoning…

ANALYSIS: NETANYAHU GOES TO WASHINGTON TO DISCUSS “EPIC BATTLE” IN THE EPICENTER

(Jerusalem, Israel) — Will it work?

That’s the key question as Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu finishes his high-profile trip to Washington, meeting with President Obama, addressing 10,000-plus pro-Israel activists at the AIPAC Policy Conference, addressing a Joint Session of Congress, and doing a flurry of major media interviews. Will his passionate case that Israel is America’s best friend, the only solid and secure democracy in the Middle East, endangered by Iranian nukes, and in need of unwavering American friendship and support in tumultuous times fully convince the President, the Congress and the American people to stand with Israel through the darkest of times that are steadily approaching?

Obama Is the Most Hostile Sitting U.S. President In the History of Israel

Obama Is the Most Hostile Sitting U.S. President In the History of Israel

By Anne Bayefsky

There is some logic in the fact that President Obama has fled the country while Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu addresses Congress. With Obama’s comments this past week on Israel, the president now appears to many as the most hostile sitting president in the history of the Jewish state.

A key casualty of the assault Obama launched this past week on Israel and its Prime Minister, is the prospect of Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. When Palestinians move to declare statehood unilaterally in the fall with U.N. support, it will be President Obama himself who will have laid the groundwork.

Why did Obama pick a fight with Israel’s Prime Minister?

Obama’s diversionary tactics

By Caroline B. Glick

What did the president wish to accomplish by purposely starting an ugly fight with the prime minister this past weekend?

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | As the Washington Post pointed out on Friday, US President Barack Obama purposely provoked the current fight with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. He knew full well that Netanyahu does not back the Palestinian formulation that negotiations with Israel must be based on the indefensible 1949 armistice lines, or what are wrongly referred to as the 1967 lines. In the days leading up to Obama’s speech last Thursday, Israel registered explicit, repeated requests that he not adopt the Palestinian position that negotiations should be based on those lines.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offers condolonces and support to America

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu opened his AIPAC speech on May 23, 2011, by offering condolences on the recent tornadoes and flooding in America.

Netanyahu stated the following at the beginning of his speech:

“My friends, before I talk about things about Israel, I want to say something about the scenes on television that I saw today and you have been seeing as well.”

When tragedy strikes America, Israel… Israel feels an immediate identification; and tragegy has struck America.”

“In recent days, floods and tornadoes have claimed the lives of hundreds of Americans, including today in Joplin, Missouri.”

“All I can say is, America, we’re with you! On this day, on every day!”

Meanwhile back at home, as his country dealt with the aftermath of the worst natural disaster season in years, Obama celebrated his ancestral roots in Ireland with a pint (where his limo that flies around the world with him, The Beast, bottomed out at the US Embassy). Today he’s gone to visit the Queen in England, along with the the Icelandic volcanic ash cloud which is grounding airport flights.

5 questions about Obama and Israel

5 questions about Obama and Israel

So, now U.S. President Barack Obama can’t understand what all the fuss was about last week.

To hear him tell it Sunday, in front of the powerful America Israel Public Affairs Committee, his explosive remarks last week about the borders of a future Palestinian state were “misrepresented.” The controversy, he said, is “not based in substance.”

Basically, he told Israel’s worried supporters Sunday, everything’s cool. I’m still onside. Don’t worry.

Canada Rejects Obama “1967” Intervention

by Gil Ronen

Canada refuses to join the United States in calling for Israel to return to 1949 Armistice borders, the Ottawa Globe and Mail reported Monday.

At a briefing ahead of the G8 summit that is about to begin in France, federal Canadian officials said the basis for the negotiations must be mutually agreed upon by Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

“What the government of Canada supports is basically a two-state solution that is negotiated,” a senior federal official said. “If it’s [the] border, if it’s other issues, it has to be negotiated, it cannot be unilateral action.”

WASHINGTON – A top Republican Congressman took a swipe at US President Barack Obama’s Middle East policy in a speech to America’s biggest pro-Israel lobby Sunday that won enthusiastic backing from the crowd.

Calling the Palestinian culture one “infused with resentment and hatred,” US House Majority Leader Eric Cantor blamed that mindset as the obstacle to peace between Israelis and Palestinians, not border issues as highlighted by Obama in recent days.

Dennis Ross, Obama’s Middle East envoy, has exchanged messages the past few weeks between Israel and the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad, according to informed Israeli and Arab officials.

Obama ‘Clarifies’ 1967 Border Demands

Obama ‘Clarifies’ 1967 Border Demands

Posted by Rick Moran on May 23rd, 2011
frontpagemag.com

In a speech to the American Israeli Political Action Committee (AIPAC) on Sunday morning, President Obama tried to offer some clarification to his remarks on Thursday at the State Department where he stated that “The borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states.”

Stung by an outburst of condemnation and criticism for those remarks – and a stern lecture from Prime Minister Netanyahu after their White House meeting – the president attempted to quell the controversy by reiterating America’s strong support for the state of Israel, and placing his comments on creating a Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders in the context of “mutually agreed swaps” of land that would alter those boundaries substantially.

OBAMA TRIES TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT!

OBAMA TRIES TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT!
By David Horovitz

Analysis: But even the US President’s improved formulations will still leave many Israelis feeling uneasy. President Barack Obama sounded somewhat aggrieved.

He was, he told 10,000 attentive delegates at AIPAC’s annual policy conference in Washington on Sunday morning, a “real friend” of Israel, with the track record to prove it.

Precisely because he and his Administration “understand the challenges Israel faces,” he had made military cooperation a priority, ensured Israel received America’s most advanced technologies, and boosted financing for the Iron Dome missile defense system. Precisely because of his concern for Israel’s security, he had imposed the toughest ever sanctions to try to thwart Iran’s nuclear program, shown “unshakeable opposition” to attempts to chip away at Israel’s legitimacy, stood up for Israel against the Goldstone Report and made plain that the planned Palestinian unilateral UN route to statehood was unacceptable.

Netanyahu Defends Israel, the Jewish People and America

President Obama paid a huge price for his surprise attack on the State of Israel in his Thursday “Arab Speech.” Along with abandoning long time American positions, like calling for a return to 1967 lines (which Abba Eban called Auschwitz Lines) that cannot be Israel’s border because Israel is not secure within those lines, Obama showed his contempt for the State of Israel by announcing his dramatic policy shifts just hours before a scheduled meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Why didn’t he wait to discuss his polices with his ally? Because his policies are designed to be Arab not Israel centric.

Obama’s False Choice

Obama’s False Choice

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | In his address to AIPAC Sunday morning, President Obama doubled down on the points he made in his speech on Thursday. After a lengthy, and not entirely unjustified defense of his administration’s record of support for Israel’s security, he continued talking down to the Jewish state and its government as if he knew better than they about the situation in the Middle East.

Following the talking points that the administration has been furiously spinning since Thursday, Obama attempted to explain that there was nothing original or new in his attempt to lay down the 1967 lines as the starting point for future talks….

VIDEO – WASHINGTON –
US President Barack Obama spoke before an AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) conference in Washington Sunday, amid rumored tensions with both Jreusalem and the Jewish community in the United States, following his Mideast policy speech last week.

Obama’s speech, where he endorsed the 1967 borders as the basis for the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, has chafed the tense relations between Jerusalem and Washington further, as well as sparked rumors that the Jewish American community was, for the large part, rethinking its support for Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign.

1967: A critical year for Obama’s presidency

1967: A critical year for Obama’s presidency
KONRAD YAKABUSKI AND PATRICK MARTIN
WASHINGTON AND JERUSALEM— From Saturday’s Globe and Mail
Published Friday, May. 20, 2011 9:59PM EDT

American presidents have, with rare exception, spoken of Israel with biblical reverence.

If anything, the language has only gotten more pro-Israel with each successive White House administration since Harry Truman made the United States the first country to recognize Israel’s independence in 1948.

Barack Obama has torn up the old script. If the policies of his administration toward Israel represent incremental change more than a break with the past, he talks about them in ways no previous president dared.

Regarding the Arab Israeli conflict, it is important to note that the President did maintain some aspects of his predecessors’ policies, saying, for example:

(Clarified by CAMERA Media)

Media outlets who misquoted US President Barack Obama on Thursday as saying he expected a “full phased withwrawal” by Israel to “1967 borders” are making a subtle but serious mistake, CAMERA said.

Citing an AP story filed shortly after President Obama’s Middle East speech CAMERA said the article — only three paragraphs — packed the serious factual error a whopping four times (“Obama says Palestine must be based in 1967 borders.”)

Three times the article incorrectly refers to the 1967 lines as borders, while President Obama himself did not use that inaccurate language.

The New Arafat

The New Arafat

The United States believes that negotiations should result in two states, with permanent Palestinian borders with Israel, Jordan, and Egypt, and permanent Israeli borders with Palestine. The borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps…. The Palestinian people must have the right to govern themselves, and reach their potential, in a sovereign and contiguous state…. The full and phased withdrawal of Israeli military forces should be coordinated with the assumption of Palestinian security responsibility in a sovereign, nonmilitarized state….

These words from President Barack Obama’s speech on Thursday are the most chilling message ever sent by a U.S. president to Israel, and possibly by any head of government to a supposed “ally.” It is often mentioned that, soon after the Six Day War of 1967, the then Israeli foreign minister Abba Eban referred to those 1967 lines as the “Auschwitz borders.” It is also often mentioned, as Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu did after his meeting with Obama on Friday, that these borders leave Israel all of nine miles wide at one of its most populous points.

Leaders across America whose organizations represent literally millions of people have told the nation of Israel, much like the wizard told Dorothy in Oz, “don’t listen to that man behind the curtain,” or in the current case, don’t listen to the man in the White House.

The message came just hours after Barack Obama announced to the world Israel needs to return to its pre-1967 borders to appease Palestinians dedicated to the annihilation of the Jewish nation.

Obama made the statement in an address in advance of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s planned visit to the White House today. Netanyahu preceded the visit with a statement rejecting Obama’s call for a Palestinian state based on Israel’s pre-1967 borders, calling the lines “indefensible.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in front of President Obama and the media, explicitly rejected the president’s call for a Palestinian state based on the pre-1967 borders.

Sitting beside Obama following a private Oval Office meeting, the visiting prime minister said Friday that he values the president’s efforts to advance the peace process and intends to work with him. But he said the president’s call for Israel to pull back to the borders that existed before the Six-Day War is not tenable.

“We can’t go back to those indefensible lines. … I discussed this with the president,” Netanyahu said.

Obama Throws Israel Under the Bus

“Already – and rightly so – Israel’s response to President Obama’s position has been anything but positive and rightly so. As Netanyahu has stated, Israel agreeing to any such plan would leave it virtually indefensible in a region where it is bordered by numerous less-than-friendly neighbors. Not only is the plan supported by Israel-hating nations everywhere (and now the U.S. to our shame) perilous to Israel, those supportive of it have very short memories.

Clearly forgotten by leaders around the world and the Obama administration is what happened after Israel surrendered a mere portion of the lands gained in the Six Day War of 1967 when the Jewish state gave the ‘peace-seeking’ Palestinians the Gaza Strip in 2005.”

Obama’s abandonment of America

I was out sick yesterday so I was unable to write today’s column for the Jerusalem Post. I did manage to watch President Obama’s speech on the Middle East yesterday evening. And I didn’t want to wait until next week to discuss it. After all, who knows what he’ll do by Tuesday?

Before we get into what the speech means for Israel, it is important to consider what it means for America.

Quite simply, Obama’s speech represents the effective renunciation of the US’s right to have and to pursue national interests. Consequently, his speech imperils the real interests that the US has in the region – first and foremost, the US’s interest in securing its national security.

OBAMA SIDES WITH ARAB WORLD AGAINST ISRAEL!

OBAMA SIDES WITH ARAB WORLD AGAINST ISRAEL!
by One Jerusalem News

In his State Department speech to the Arab world, President Obama threw Israel overboard as he demanded that Israel must make major concessions to achieve peace in the region. When you cut through his rhetoric, Obama believes that Israel must make major concessions that include Jerusalem and the right of return so there can be a peace.

Obama rejected the notion that the coming together of Fatah and Hamas is a deal breaker. He called it a legitimate question (How can Israel come to agreement with Hamas that does not recognize the State of Israel?) but he believes there is an answer to this question that will allow Israel to negotiate with Hamas. He gave lip service to the idea of a Jewish State and to Israel’s security but he emphatically stated that the the indefensible borders of the 1967 (with undefined adjustments) will be the borders of the State of Israel and the new Palestinian State….
