IS
ISRAEL
SHAKING?

“How can
we forget,” writes Aliza
Davidovit, “that prior to becoming president, Obama addressed AIPAC in
2008 and said, ‘Jerusalem
will remain the capital of
Israel,
and it must remain undivided’ – until he changed his mind the next day. Now
that’s commitment … Jews can’t build houses in
Jerusalem
but Arabs can,” writes Aliza Davidovit.
Double speak seems to
be the norm for this White House. According to Obama his healthcare plan will
enable citizens to keep their current coverage, but it turns out that the
opposite is true. Supposedly it will lower costs, but the Congressional Budget
Office says it will cause a steady climb in healthcare costs. Obama says his
plan will reduce the deficit. The CBO says it will significantly expand, not
shrink, the deficit.
U.S.
foreign policy is also rife with double talk. The State Department should have
known that when they scheduled the U.S. President for a trip to the
Middle East last
June
without
stopping in Israel,
that Israel
would take it as a diplomatic snub, and retribution would come.
What better time to
publicly jab
Israel’s
thumb of retribution into
America’s
eye than during Vice President Joe Biden’s recent mission to the
Middle East. While
he was in the air Israel announced that it intended to build 1,600 more Jewish
settlement homes in east Jerusalem and the West Bank which directly conflicted
with the State Department’s belief that the U.S. and Israel had agreed to a
cessation of construction of Jewish homes in those areas.
Not to be outdone by
the Israelis, Biden made a call to the president’s national security adviser
James L. Jones last for an hour and a half while Netanyahu waited and waited and
dinner got cold. But it didn’t get as cold as relations between the
U.S. and
Israel
were to become.
As Biden flew home,
Israel
announced that it planned to build more Jewish settlement homes in
East Jerusalem and
the West Bank.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas then got into the fight by choosing this
time to dedicate a town square to Dalal Mughrabi, a 19 year old girl terrorist
who, in 1978, led a terrorist attack that killed 38 Israelis.
Arnaud
de Borgrave UPI Editor at Large writes, “Bottom line is that
Israel
…may have a short shelf life historically speaking … At the end of this road
lies the one-state solution – e.g.,
another Lebanon with a Jewish President and a
Palestinian Prime Minister .. in 1951, there were 87 million Arabs. Today, there
are 320 million. In 2026 … there will be 500 million, presumably possessing
nuclear capability in one or two Arab states. So … sitting around and hanging
tough is not a viable long-range strategy.”
For two hundred years
Americans have spoken with pride of their Judeo-Christian laws, principles, and
heritage. Now we have a President who eschews our traditional history and
principles and tells us that we should admire things Islamic.
As
Davidovit asks, “Shouldn’t we all be terrified when Biden calls the United
States bond to Israel ‘unshakable’ on Tuesday and then three days later
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tells Netanyahu that building housing for
Jews in East Jerusalem puts Israel’s bilateral relations with the U.S. into
question? I have never seen something so unshakable shake so quickly.”
