Israeli Settlers Build “Obama Huts”
By Wyatt Earp | June 7, 2009
Don’t tell the White House or the mainstream media, but apparently President Obama’s Cairo speech did not go over too well with many Israeli citizens. In fact, they were so perturbed with Obama’s pandering to Muslims and begrudging acceptance of a nuclear Iran that they expressed their protest . . . with new West Bank construction.
The citizens defied Obama’s plea and began raising structures in the West Bank. They even gave these structures a catchy name.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you, the Obama Hut.
A day after US President Barack Obama reiterated his call to stop settlement activity during a speech in Cairo, defiant settlers continued to erect illegal structures in the West Bank, building a new outpost on Friday morning between Migron and Kohav Ya’akov.
No offense, but what would they care if the American president asked them to stop building settlements. he gets to go home. They have to stay and fight the Palestinians – people who want them dead.
At the outpost, named Oz Yehonatan, the settlers built a wooden structure they mockingly called the “Obama Hut,” saying it was a sign of appreciation for the US president for his actions that had led to a dramatic rise in the number of outposts.
One of the activists said of Obama, “He’s an Arab Muslim and a gentile, he is fighting against the Jewish people and has declared that he will continue to do so. We already stated our intention to continue to build, no matter who is fighting us – Egypt, Germany or the US.”
Ouch! In fairness, I wouldn’t say that Obama is fighting against the Jewish people, but he certainly does not seem to be allied with them, either.
“It’s all illusions. With these savages, there was never peace, there is no peace and there will not be peace,” [Hebron-Kiryat Arba Chief Rabbi Dov Lior] said. “It’s not because we don’t want it, but because they are enemies of peace. We just have to hope that our entire country is cleared of terrorists, their supporters, their backers and their camels. They should all be sent to Saudi Arabia.” (H/T – Jerusalem Post)
He is absolutely correct. There will never be peace between the Palestinians and Israel, and that’s exactly how the Palestinians want it.

Classic, though I fear we may see our fellow Americans building Obama Huts on the national mall ala the WW1 vets.
BTW, did you get the cake?

The Israelis should invite Obama’s brother George in Kenya to live there. He’d probably have a much nicer hut and maybe even better neighbors?
I’d even kick in the $12 a year he’s living on (something Barack is too cheap to do!) to help him make the move!

B B But they did exactly what he asked them to do:
“A day after US President Barack Obama reiterated his call to stop settlement activity during a speech in Cairo …”
Nobody laid a single brick or constructed a single hut during his speech in Cairo …
Just afterwards when they got totally peeved by the “Hope & Change” [Tm] message of surrender.

Does anyone remember what Golda Meir said? It went something like this, We will have peace with the Arabs when they love their children as much as they hate us. I would have to look up the exact quote but you get the idea.
I wonder if the obambozo has read that one.

cbullitt – I did indeed, thanks.
Proof – I figured Obama would let him stowaway in the cargo hold of Air Force One.
Alan B – It probably took all of three minutes, too.
Glenn – I highly doubt it. Things will never change there, because the Palestinians don’t want it to change.

You are probably right on that one. But Golda’s statement still rings true to this day.
