Obama
is also close friends with Rashid Khalidi, a Palestinian professor at
Columbia University. Khaldidi was instrumental in bringing Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad, President of Iran, who stated Israel should be wiped off
the map, to speak at the renowned university. Khalidi is also known for
his strong anti-Semitic/pro-Palestinian views.
With influences such as these, is it any wonder President Obama has been the most anti-Israel President in US history?
In
light of the announced deal with Iran, more people are scratching their
heads questioning the foreign policy decisions of the Obama Presidency.
A few reminders might be in order.
President
Obama’s first phone call to a foreign leader upon taking office in ’09
was to Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian Authority.
His
first international speech was in Cairo, where he declared a “new
beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world."
In
order to prove how serious he was about improving relations with the
Muslims, he immediately set his sights on America’s strongest ally,
Israel. He openly blackmailed Israel when he said his degree of
toughness on Iran would depend on how flexible Israel is with the
Palestinians. What does getting tough on Iran have to do with solving a
local issue between Israel and the Palestinians? In other words we are
supposed to believe if Israel knuckles under and turns over its
heartland to people who are theologically committed to its destruction,
with a charter that requires said goal, this means the US will be
gentile with Iran? What’s Iran’s interest in the Palestinians? Iran is
Shiite. The Palestinians are overwhelmingly Sunni. They hate each other.
What am I missing here Mr. President?
He
walked out on Netanyahu’s White House visit in March 2010 giving him a
diplomatic slap in the face. When Mahmoud Abbas next came to the WH he
received the full diplomatic protocol…and unlike Netanyahu, he entered
and left through the front door of the White House.
Moreover,
so bad was Obama’s treatment of Israel, he received letters from 50
retired US Generals, and both Houses of Congress, signed by 75% of US
lawmakers, telling him to stop treating Israel so poorly. Such letters
are unprecedented.
Most
recently he supported an American-led effort in Israel to defeat
Netanyahu. Plus, he was so furious with the Israeli leader for
disagreeing with him on a deal with Iran, Obama reacted by declassifying
US documents about Israel’s nuclear program.
Now,
as Jews worldwide celebrate release from bondage under Pharaoh by
observing Passover, Obama has released Iran from bondage with a deal
that will allow them to continue their nuclear program, which at best
only delays their ability to obtain nuclear weapons.
Before we all get lost in a celebratory daze, let’s take a quick Obama history course.
One
might wonder why he has turned relations with Israel upside down. Keep
in mind his most significant childhood influence was Frank Marshall
Davis, an active member of the Communist Party and founder of the
Chicago Star, a Communist newspaper. Marshall was also under FBI
surveillance for 19 years and considered a security threat.
The
President spent 20 years attending the church of Rev. Jerimiah Wright,
an avowed anti-Semite, and promoter of Black Liberation Theology.
Obama
is also close friends with Rashid Khalidi, a Palestinian professor at
Columbia University. Khaldidi was instrumental in bringing Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad, President of Iran, who stated Israel should be wiped off
the map, to speak at the renowned university. Khalidi is also known for
his strong anti-Semitic/pro-Palestinian views.
With influences such as these, is it any wonder President Obama has been the most anti-Israel President in US history?
However,
he’s also turned US relations with longtime Arab allies around, and not
for the better. For example, when the so-called “Arab Spring”
demonstrations erupted in Cairo in 2011, he tossed Hosni Mubarak, a 30
year US ally under the bus, and publically announced support for the
movement which resulted in bringing Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim
Brotherhood to power. The MB is the grandfather of Islamic terrorist
organizations. Founded in 1928 after the 1917 collapse of the Ottoman
Empire, its primary goal is to establish an Islamic Caliphate, replacing
the Ottomans. Other terrorists organizations spawned from their
umbrella include Hamas, Al Qaeda, and Islamic Jihad.
When
the same “voice of the people” as Obama called them, chose to get rid
of Morsi’s Islamist regime less than two years after coming to power,
Obama expressed great concern that democracy was in jeopardy. Morsi was
ousted, and jailed, where he remains today. When Egypt elected Abdel
Fattah el Sisi, the Egyptian government made it clear that because of
Obama’s support for the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt could no longer trust
the US. This resulted in Egypt inking a huge arms deal with Russia.
Another
relationship which has changed is Saudi Arabia. Next to Israel, the
Saudis have been America’s closest ally in the region. However, two
events altered the status of US-Saudi relations. First was Obama’s
support for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Then when Obama announced
the US would enter into negotiations with Iran, which included
relaxation of sanctions and unfreezing $800 million of their assets, the
Saudis felt stabbed in the back. The Saudis have also been forced to
lead a coalition against the Iranian backed rebels in Yemen, because the
US has refused to get involved due to the negotiations with Iran. This
has added to the frosty Saudi-US relations.
Now
he’s carved out a deal with Iran, the main sponsor of state terrorism,
run by Shiite ayatollahs. Not surprisingly, voices of concern have been
raised by numerous countries, including several other Gulf allies.
If
there is one country which represents the precise opposite of
Judeo-Christian democratic values, it is Iran. Their theology is
fundamental Islam, which at its foundation requires the liquidation of
Jews and Christians, before their messiah known as the Mahdi returns.
They have repeatedly stated Israel should be wiped off the map. Plus, so
much hatred exists between Saudi Arabia and Iran, that Saudi recently
said they would allow Israeli jets air space to attack Iran.
Let’s
not forget that just recently while Secretary of State John Kerry was
meeting with Iran’s foreign minister, they were blowing up mock versions
of US ships in the Gulf, for the world to see.
Regarding
Iran’s nuclear program, their goal has always been to obtain nuclear
weapons. If this weren’t the case why would they have made it so
difficult for IAEA inspectors to have full, consistent and complete
access to every nook and cranny of all of their facilities? Time and
again Iran has delayed, changed or refused inspections. Also, if anyone
believes they have been completely forthcoming with the location of
every one of their nuclear facilities, said person must believe the moon
is made of cheese.
The
combination of all of these should make it clear to anyone, they cannot
be trusted! Yet President Obama seems to think he can accomplish what
no other leader can by striking a deal with them. Given his track
record when it comes to the Middle East, he is the last person I would
put my faith in when it comes to making a deal. Trust me when I say
neither he nor the Iranians can be trusted.
Should
the US Congress decide they need to approve the deal with Iran, they
might be what saves the world from this apocalyptic regime having the
last laugh.
