Posted in: Israelis watching, waiting ahead of Obama-Bibi meeting

I have never read of a proposal that gives the Arabs the territories but allows Jews to continue living there...Arabs live in Israel - why can't Jews live in 'Palestine'?...As a matter of fact, Arabs live wherever they please - Europe, the USA, Australia. By what logic can Jews be denied the same privilege? But it seems a law of nature that Arabs must be coddled and Jews must be abused.

Qanni, did you take your meds today?

Posted in: Outreach to the Jews, Obama style

Mr Trupin writes : "we believe a path of peace is the only path that assures long term survival and prosperity" All shades of opinion agree on that one - except the Arabs! After all these years surely one can see that the Arabs will not agree to anything less than the demise of the Jewish state. The peacenik left confuses the issue and helps vitiate Israel's response to Arab bloodlust - they walk around in a fog of goodwill believing that Arabs want what the Jews want - peace and prosperity. Loving peace feels so good - so what if it has nothing to do with the case? Altogether now - lets sing 'Kumbaya' -and look at the chazzan who's leading the choir - its the president of the United States.!!! There will be peace eventually - a long time from now when the Arabs, exhausted, finally tell themselves 'Enough - we cant win - lets get on with it' But while they think they have a chance they will continue to terrorize. And every Jewish call for peace suggests to them that the Jews are losing heart and the Arabs are making progress, and it strengthens their committment to war. So Jewish peaceniks achieve the opposite of their intent - they move peace further down the road.

Surely this Obama decision must stick in the craws of Samantha Powers and Susan Rice. They didn't dream when they were appointed that they themselves would have to participate in gov't policies that would favor justice for Israel. I wish them a speedy recovery from their agita.

Posted in: Outreach to the Jews, Obama style

Aha - clever fellow, Obama. By NOT going thru the umbrella group - made of Zionist loyalist organizations - he can entyertain input from every anti-Israel (purportedly) Jewish group on an equal basis. This move is designed to weaken the voice of American Jews. ...See where he's going, folks? But we already knew that he's no friend of Israel when he sent Mme. Rice to the UN. The Obama style: sneak attack with many warm smiles...
