Obama Set To REALLY Tick-Off Israel!

Obama Set To REALLY Tick-Off Israel!

A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet

US foreign policy, as it pertains to the Middle East, reminds me of the piece the British band played when Lord Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, Virginia ending the American Revolution.  As the British soldiers grounded their arms, the band played a song entitled:  “The World Turned Upside Down.” 

That is the exact description of Obama’s Middle East policy.  What is up is down.  What is down is up.  The whole thing defies common sense.

He has abandoned America’s one friend in the region.  He has shown, and continues to show, support for America’s enemies in the region.

Obama’s War in Libya will haunt the US for decades -- if not centuries. And that is just one of many blunders in the region.

Now we learn that Obama will push for some kind of “comprehensive” Israeli-Arab peace, which would lead to a final settlement of the Israeli- (so-called “Palestinian”) peace agreement. (Learn more HERE.)

It is not going to happen. In fact it is going to get worse – much worse.  Obama’s machinations in that region have a very good chance of landing the US military right in the middle of the fighting when the balloon goes up.

That is the last place we want to the US military.  Trust me!  The Israeli Defense Forces come closer to matching US troops in training, equipment, war fighting ability, and just plain warrior’s zeal on the battlefield than the military of any other country on the globe. We DO NOT WANT US FORCES FACING OFF WITH ISRAELI FORCES. 

That said, if Obama’s amateurish meddling in Israel’s affairs and his attempts to placate and muzzle the Arabs and the so-called Palestinians do not cease, there is a very good chance that that is exactly what will happen.

We are confident the UN will give its blessing for the creation of a Palestinian state this year, most likely in September.  If they do so, the State of Palestine will consist of the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem. There are reports that the Obama Administration will not veto such a move by the UN General Assembly.  No surprise there.

  

Don’t worry.  A Palestinian State will not last very long.  The Palestinians cannot resist the urge to kill Jews and once the first killing, or first shot is fired against Israel, the IDF will overrun the Palestinian state and that land will, once again, belong solely to Israel.  Of course, that will instigate a regional conflagration with the US forced into the mess -- on one side or the other – or, in the middle.

"The president will be speaking in greater detail about America's policy in the Middle East and North Africa in the coming weeks.  America's core interests and values have not changed, including our commitment to promote human rights, resolve long-standing conflicts, counter Iran's threats and defeat al Qaeda and its extremist allies.  This includes renewed pursuit of comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace." (SOURCE)  That comment was made by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday April 12^th, 2011 at the U.S.-Islamic World Forum. Qatar and the Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank, sponsored the meeting.

Secretary Clinton made it plain that she and Obama were going to push for a “Two State Solution.”

Creating a Palestinian state will certainly not bring peace between Israel and the Palestinians.  If anything it will only throw fuel on the fire. 

It defies logic that the US would be actively pressuring Israel to agree to such a plan.  With the entire region in a mass upheaval and with no hint as to how the governments of the various Arab countries will finally shake out, how can anyone, with the sense of a gnat, push such an idea on the only reasonably stable country (not to mention our friend) in the region.

Again, I say, it makes no sense. But it does point to just how inept the Obama Administration really is.

The WORLD is in deep trouble if Obama wins reelection next year.

The Unilateral Creation of a Palestinian State by the UN?

The Unilateral Creation of a Palestinian State by the UN?
Does the Obama Regime Support UN Creation of Palestinian State?
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet

*********************

Palestinian Authority officials say if Israel and the Palestinians fail to reach an agreement to create a Palestinian state, the Obama administration will support a resolution at the United Nations that would unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state (SOURCE).

In a report at World Net Daily, the following is reported: “Last year, Ahmed Qurei, former PA prime minister and member of the Palestine Liberation Organization executive committee, told WND in an interview that the PA "reached an understanding with important elements within the administration" to possibly bring to the U.N. Security Council a resolution to unilaterally create a Palestinian state.

Asked to which "elements" he was referring, Qurei would only say they were from the Obama administration. (SOURCE).

All of this just confirms our worst fears about Obama and his Regime. He is, quite likely, the least prepared President to ever hold office.

You know, I used to wonder if Obama or, at the very least, someone within his regime had actually read the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. Now I add to that list of critically important documents nothing less than the Holy Bible. Obama is meddling in a situation that predates the United States of America by thousands of years. Much of the history, which leads up to the problems with Israel and their less than neighborly neighbors, is recorded in the pages of the Bible.

When one does a tiny bit of research, one finds that Israel has a claim to the Holy Land that dates back as far 3,700 years ago. They created a civilization on that terrain and developed a national language, which they have managed to maintain for at least 3,700 years.

Yes, they claim that land and they have a right to it. First, God promised the land to Abraham, then, the Jewish people moved onto to it and began to develop it and they made it their home. The world community saw it -- and recognized Israel as the home of the Jewish people and granted Israel recognition as a sovereign country ON THAT LAND.

So, how did Israel grow to the size it is today? As a result of wars that were perpetrated upon Israel by her mischievous neighbors. Israeli military forces captured the land Israel grew into as they attempted, successfully, to defend their homeland. Now, that land, too, is a part of the nation of Israel.

So what about the name Palestine? In the second century A.D., after crushing the last Jewish revolt, the Romans first applied the name “Palaestina” to Judea. Judea was the southern portion of what we now call the West Bank. It was an attempt, by the Romans, to isolate Jewish identification from the land of Israel.

There was never an independent Arab or Palestinian state in Palestine. It never existed, in all of history. In fact, when the Arab-American historian, Princeton University Prof. Philip Hitti, testified against partition before the Anglo-American Committee in 1946, he said: "There is no such thing as 'Palestine' in history, absolutely not." In fact, Palestine is never explicitly mentioned in the Koran, rather it is called "the holy land.”

Going back to 1937 we learn that “a local Arab leader, Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi, told the Peel Commission, which ultimately suggested the partition of Palestine: "There is no such country [as Palestine]! 'Palestine' is a term the Zionists invented! There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our country was for centuries part of Syria." (SOURCE)

Until, roughly, 1967 the Arabs referred to that piece of ground as “southern Syria. “The representative of the Arab Higher Committee to the United Nations submitted a statement to the General Assembly in May 1947 that said, "Palestine was part of the Province of Syria" and that, "politically, the Arabs of Palestine were not independent in the sense of forming a separate political entity." A few years later, Ahmed Shuqeiri, later the chairman of the PLO, told the Security Council: "It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but southern Syria." (SOURCE)

One must consider God’s promise to Abraham, the creation of a Jewish homeland with Jewish settlements upon the land as far back as 3,700 years ago -- up to today. Then, one must consider so much more including the Balfour Declaration of 1917; the League of Nations Mandate, which incorporated the Balfour Declaration; the United Nations partition resolution of 1947; and Israel's admission to the UN in 1949. And, finally, add to all of the above the recognition of Israel as a sovereign nation by most of the country’s of the world. I suspect the Israeli Jews would ask that an observer also note their thriving society.

Now, when you consider all of the above, you must ask yourself why anyone would want the people of Israel to give up their ancestral homeland, the land God gave them, to the people of a country that never, in all of history, EVER existed.

Remember, too, that these people, of a fantasy country, want nothing more than to push the Jews off their land and into the sea -- wiping them out of existence.

THAT is where Obama’s policy toward Israel and the so-called Palestinian people will lead.

When all of this is considered -- aren’t we justified in asking if Obama’s ties to the Muslim world are so strong that he has adopted their cause as his -- and pushing the Jews of Israel into the Mediterranean Sea is the desired result for both the so-called Palestinians – and -- for the Obama Regime?
