After watching all the pomp and circumstance of the presidential inauguration of Jan. 20, 2009, I remember turning to my husband Steve and saying: “The sole mission of Barack Obama and his henchmen is to destroy Israel.”
Sure enough, over eight years he consistently genuflected to our enemies and spit in the face of our most faithful allies, most particularly Israel.
Writer Mona Charen has said that Mr. Obama has a “genocidal hostility toward Israel.”
Sure enough, he spit on Jews –– and also Christians –– by launching his poison dart on Dec. 23, right in time for Chanukah and Christmas.
That dart was Resolution 2334 to condemn Israeli “settlements”–– meaning housing on Israeli land –– and insist on a return to 1967 “Auschwitz borders” that was proposed by the UN’s Security Council members New Zealand (10,000 miles from Israel), Malaysia (where the official religion is Islam), Senegal (which is 90-percent Muslim), and Venezuela (so impoverished that people are now scrounging for toilet paper).
Reversing decades of U.S. policy, the Obama regime refused to veto this anti-Semitic proposal.
This sneak attack was hatched and orchestrated directly from the Oval Office and involved Mr. Obama himself, Secretary of State John Kerry, Susan Rice, and other of his Jew-hating acolytes, among them (this is the short list): current U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power (end all U.S. military aid to Israel); all the “court Jews” who sold their souls to the devil in exchange for the seductive allure of access to power; close advisor and Hamas and Hezbollah fan Robert Malley; Dennis Ross (who suggested a plan that translated today would mean listening to the 22 hostile states that surround Israel and saying “majority rules!”); George Soros –– Obama’s “puppet master” –– the Hungarian-born Jewish multibillionaire, who has founded and funded numerous groups that work unstintingly to bring about Israel’s destruction; Hillary Clinton, whose relationships with terrorists date back decades and whose rancid relationship with Israel is well known; Susan Rice, former Ambassador to the U.N. and current National Security Advisor, who has advocated ending all U.S. military aid to Israel; Lee Hamilton, former Indiana congressman, who has suggested pressuring Israel to surrender the Golan Heights and leave the West Bank; Zbigniew Brzezinski, Obama advisor and longtime Israel loather, who suggested that the Obama regime tell Israel that the U.S. will attack Israeli jets if they try to attack Iran; John Brennan, former Deputy National Security Advisor for Homeland Security and current head of the CIA, who has suggested that Mr. Obama “reach out” to Hezbollah, and also that “jihad is a holy struggle…”; and the execrable John Kerry, who, after the anti-Israel U.N. vote, spoke directly for his boss on TV, engaging in egregious historical revisionism and fairytale bromides to essentially inflict a two-state solution on Israel, with partners who to this day do not –– and have sworn they never will –– accept a Jewish state in their midst.
My favorite line was Mr. Kerry saying that Israel could be Jewish or democratic, but not both. Right, like Iran and Iraq could be either democratic or Muslim but not both.
Former Great Neck resident Rabbi Aryeh Spero writes that after most votes in the UN, “the vote is recorded. Period.
But after the vote to declare Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria as Arab/Islamic land, the [U.N. members] celebrated by giving themselves a standing ovation.
They clapped…in declaring the Jewish tie to the Old City of Jerusalem as illegitimate and Israel’s attachment to the Temple Mount and Judea and Samaria as illegal…It was an act of anti-Semitism.”
Writer Caroline Glick writes of Mr. Obama’s four-pronged attack on the people and the state he loathes beyond loathing.
First was the UN Resolution 2334. Second was Sec. Kerry’s hate-filled speech.
And on Jan. 15, “stage 3 will commence in Paris” when foreign ministers of some 50 [to 70] states are expected to adopt Kerry’s anti-Israel [so-called] principles.
“The next day,” says Glick, “it will be Obama’s turn…he can be expected to use the occasion of Martin Luther King Jr. Day to present the Palestinian war to annihilate Israel as a natural progression from the American Civil Rights movement that King led 50 years ago.
“Finally, sometime between Jan. 17 and 19, Obama intends for the Security Council to reconvene and…recognize `Palestine’ and grant it full membership in the UN.”
Happily, on Jan. 20, President-elect Donald J. Trump, who shares the affection and respect of all sane people for Israel, as do all of his appointees, will be inaugurated.
My personal wish is that he immediately stop any U.S. funds from going to that nest of America-and-Israel haters and that he ultimately kick the putrid U.N. out of the United States altogether.
Personally, I believe that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob had a hand in booting out the anti-Semites from the current White House, preventing the loathsome heiress apparent from continuing their destructive policies, and bringing our country a true American patriot in their stead. Hallelujah!
