The Jewish people, who survived against all odds, know what their interests are and they are not influenced by foreign agents or traitorous advice. After thousands of years in exile, we have returned home to be a free nation in our land and not to serve the interests of the United States in the Middle East, interests that exhibit a complete lack of understanding of the reality in our region.
U.S. President Barack Obama's comments in his recent interview with The Atlantic magazine made me wonder whether he had decided to join the Zionist Union or the Joint Arab List.
It is hard for him to
come to terms with the fact that Israel's citizens -- in a free and
democratic election -- chose the Right. The United States, both directly
and indirectly, made economic and diplomatic efforts to take down Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu -- and those efforts failed. Much to the
chagrin of the Americans, Israel is not Panama, Iraq or Afghanistan. The
Jewish people, who survived against all odds, know what their interests
are and they are not influenced by foreign agents or traitorous advice.
After thousands of years in exile, we have returned home to be a free
nation in our land and not to serve the interests of the United States
in the Middle East, interests that exhibit a complete lack of
understanding of the reality in our region. West meets East and fails
the reading and oral comprehension exam.
Obama's concern for
Palestinian children and adults who are delayed for security checks is
moving. American humanitarian concern is working overtime when it comes
to Israel. Hundreds of thousands of Arabs have been slaughtered and
continue to be slaughtered in Syria, Iraq and Yemen each day, and yet
there, that American humanitarian concern remains in the deep freeze.
Israel has been dealt the heavy hand of a double standard for years.
Obama, just like his
fans among the Israeli Left, continues to incessantly distort and
recycle Netanyahu's election day comments regarding the high number of
Arab voters heading to the polls. The minimum that a defensive democracy
can do is call on the public to vote for the future of its country. If
Obama really understood Jewish values, he would be aware of the fact
that the right to life is a supreme Jewish value, above even Christian
compassion. I was touched when Obama said in the interview that he would
be around for another 20 years to carry the burden of the outcome of
the Iranian nuclear deal.
