Obama Slams Israel Yet Again
By Wyatt Earp | November 10, 2010
So, after giving a speech in Indonesia today, President Obama criticized proposed Israeli construction in East Jerusalem. How this subject came up is beyond me, but Indonesia – a country where Islam is the dominant religion – is hardly a hotbed of Israeli support.
My first instinct is to say that Obama is doing what he does best: pandering to his audience. But considering his words and actions, it’s clear that .
President Barack Obama has criticized Israel construction plans in East Jerusalem, saying they’re unhelpful to the pursuit of peace. The president said he was concerned Israel and Palestinian authorities were not making enough of an effort to advance peace negotiations.
Obama’s caution came as the Israeli government moved ahead with plans to build nearly 1,300 apartments in that disputed part of the city.
So, the president is concerned that Israel and Palestinian authorities aren’t making an effort, but he only decides to slam Israel? Shocka! I would have more respect for the man if he just came out and said he despises the Jews. Thankfully, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu gave Obama a much-needed slap down.
Oh, on a completely unrelated note, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced the U.S. will be giving the Palestinian Authority $150 million.

Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. It is also the only country in the Middle East that is not a festering shithole. And Palestinians living in Israel enjoy a better standard of living than the Palestinians that live in the PA, Egypt, Jordan, or Syria. Yet western liberals blame Israel for all the problems in the Middle East. They claim they don’t hate Jews, but I’m having a tough time finding another explanation for this attitude.

My theory is some Jewish kid beat up young Barry, stomped on his turban and crushed his Mohammed Lunch Box when he was growing up in Indonesia.

On the Israeli one sided moratorium to stop building for 10 months (which just recently expired) in order to show goodwill in future negotiations, so the pals would start peace talks again. Not one inch of progress from the pal side just the same old, same old. Oh yah, and rockets still flying over Israels border every now and then.
Of course obambi also fails to point that salient point out
also. If he wants to see another infatada he sure is helping it along. Its probably those secret mooselimb
handshakes with the imams and free tickets to the upcoming jooooo roast as Imadinnerjacket gets his bomb that has him smiling.

John D – And yet many Jews in America don’t support Israel – most of the Democrat persuasion. I don’t understand that at all.
Ferrell – And all I had was a Six Million Dollar Man lunchbox.
Sully – Yeah, it’s pretty pathetic.
Jon – There is a story out there that he bowed again. That’s awesome!

I wonder how much of that US taxpayer 150 million dollar gift will go for explosives, bombs, bullets, and paying the families of suicide bombers. That, and being funnelled into Swiss bank accounts for the leaders of Hamas & the P.A. And on top of that, we have to borrow it from the Chinese at high interest.
Any wonder why the US is bankrupt?

Robert B. – Pretty much all of it, I suspect. But hey, why let a few suicide bombers get in the way of some monetary goodwill from the Great Satan.

It is apparent that The Imam Hussein Obama fully supports the muslim arabs, and just as clear that he despises Israel, England and The United States!

Genesis 12:3 (King James Version)
