Obama's continuing efforts to weaken Israel

How Obama tries to undermine and weaken israel
1. His administration continually leaks classified documents that endanger our soldiers and especially our ally Israel
2. Said he wants to bring daylight between Israel and 
3 .He bragged about killing Bin Laden, when he hypocritically campaigned against the means they used to find him. That got the actual Seals who killed him so mad they are campaigning against him
4 He hired Muslim brotherhood tied terrorists to be in the USA government
5 Aided Muslim Brotherhood dominated Egypt by reducing helping overthrow Mubarack, their debt and doing military exercises with them, while scaling back our exercises with Israel. 
6.He has stalled and delayed and appeased Iran as they march forward to develop nuclear weapons and daily say they want to wipe out Israel
7.. He has tried to bully, threaten, intimidated and repeatedly turned his back on Israel ( 49 borders, no building in Jerusalem) and had the word Jerusalem removed from the DNC platform as well as Hamas as terror, and Palestinians no right of return,. He realized that Jerusalem's omission was an error and lied and said he did not know, and when he instructed them to put it back, they did, but over a majority loud chorus of boos from the delegates. DNC convention has featured a large Muslim extremist sub convention.
8. Foolishly encouraged and embraced Arab Spring, which is turning into Arab nightmare. g. He forbade the CIA and FBI from using the words Muslim or Islam when they investigate, making it impossible to do their job and called Fort Hood massacre of a Muslim killing our soldiers shouting allah akbar workplace violence.
9. Obama refused to push for Israel to be included in an international terrorist conference. 
10. Makes us more dependent on Arab oil that funds terror 
11. Massive spread of Islamic jihad under his watch-
Libya: he helped push out Quaddafi
Iraq-pulled out after war was won opening way for ISIS
Syria: drew red lines and then ignored them when breached
Hamas: secret talks with this terrorist group while they toss missiles daily at Israel for 6 months and continued to fund PA even after the have unity government with Hamas
Iran: weakened sanctions consistently and now extends talks while they move forward , desperate for horrible deal tjhat will endanger Israel and all Mideast. 
12. His record before he entered high electoral politics in 2004, especially his associations with radical anti-Zionists
13. Obama’s favorite foreign leader calls Israelis Nazis Erdogan calls Israel more barbaric than Hitler It is no surprise, with this violent, hateful rhetoric, that there are violent protests against Israel in Turkey. It is also no surprise that Obama would name this vicious Jew-hater as his closest friend among world leaders. “Erdogan calls Israel more barbaric than Hitler,” Times of Israel, July 19, 2014qw

14. Uses IRS to harass pro Israel groups  https://expertsatwork.wordpress.com/2013/05/14/pro-israel-non-profit-groups-also-harassed-by-irs/
15. His administration calls Bibi Chickenshit and a coward and obama uninterested in finding out whom, because it was him.
16. US denies visas to Israelis in record numbers http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/.premium-1.576109

Analysis: A Breakdown of How Barack Obama Has Continually Hurt Israel and Helped its Enemies

Friday July 25, 2014 8:41 AM - 27 Comments

In recent weeks alone, President Obama has:

1. Supported the formation of a Hamas/Fatah Palestinian Authority (PA) unity regime, meaning that Hamas, a Nazi-like terrorist organization which calls in its Charter for the destruction of Israel and the worldwide murder of Jews, would be part of the PA and, as such, a recipient of U.S. funding.

1. Called and worked actively for an immediate ceasefire, which would prevent Israel from completing the vital mission it undertook — and which President Obama originally claimed he supported — to eliminate Hamas’ rocket capacity and destroy its newly-discovered terror tunnel network, which is designed to enable Hamas to carry out mass casualty terror attacks and kidnappings inside Israel. These tunnels are large enough to enable vehicles to be driven through them and one which was discovered was found to be mined and beneath an Israeli kindergarten. A ceasefire would enable Hamas to maintain these tunnels and its rocket armory intact, yet, as Caroline Glick observed in theJerusalem Post, “As Israel has uncovered the scope of Hamas’s infrastructure of murder and terror, the US has acted with the UN, Turkey and Qatar to pressure Israel (and Egypt) to agree to a cease-fire and so end IDF operations against Hamas before the mission is completed.” When President Obama proclaims that Israel has a right to defend itself, but then demands an immediate ceasefire, he is really saying Israel must immediately stop defending itself.

1. Had Secretary of State John Kerry announce this week in Cairo $47 million in additional aid to Gaza, “which is in effect $47 million for Hamas … Aiding Hamas while simultaneously isolating Israel does two things. One, it helps our enemy. Two, it hurts our ally,” as Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) observed yesterday. This aid to Hamas is also likely in contravention of U.S. law, which prohibits funding Hamas and other designated terrorist organizations.

1. Had the the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) impose, not merely a warning, but an astonishing and unnecessary ban on flight to Israel — something that was only lifted yesterday, following criticism from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former New York City Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, Senator Ted Cruz and others, who all pointed out that Ben-Gurion Airport is extremely well-secured and perhaps the most well-protected airport in the world. The FAA ban was also outrageous and bizarre, given that the FAA does not ban travel to far riskier locations, like Iraq, Pakistan, Malaysia, Yemen, or to Ukraine, where an airliner was recently shot down. The FAA generally issues warnings, rather than outright flight bans, which makes this ban on flights to Tel Aviv all the more extraordinary.

All of this leaves Jews puzzled and concerned. President Obama is not only now exhibiting a troubling pattern of engaging, shoring up, and aiding radical Islamic regimes like Hamas, but has a longer record pointing in the same direction of favoring radical Islamic regimes and movements and disfavoring their opponents. Specifically, and as the The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) has already previously pointed out:

• When in June 2009, he addressed the Muslim world in Cairo, President Obama insisted on inviting members of the parliamentary bloc of the (then-banned) radical Muslim Brotherhood over the objections of U.S. ally, Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak - though the Obama administration later denied that it did so. (A furious Mubarak refused to attend.)

• When a groundswell of opposition to Mubarak’s rule arose in February 2011, President Obama called for Mubarak to step down “now” while his spokesman called for early elections involving “non-secular actors” — despite the fact that numerous surveys had shown before 2011 that large majorities of Egyptians favor discriminatory sharia, the death penalty for apostates, and so on — meaning that it was almost certain that radical Muslims would triumph in elections.

• When the Muslim Brotherhood senior leader and the Brotherhood’s candidate or president, Mohamed Morsi was, unsurprisingly, elected president, President Obama did not discontinue arming the regime, even though its future policies were as yet entirely unknown. Conversely, when in July 2013, Morsi was ousted by the Egyptian military under Field Marshal Abdul el-Sisi, Obama suspended military aid.

• In 2009, when Iranians were brutalized on Tehran’s streets for protesting the rigged re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Obama did not call for Ahmadinejad to step down and back democracy protesters — he pointedly refused to get involved, saying “it’s not productive, given the history of U.S.-Iranian relations, to be seen as meddling.

• Last year, following somewhat tightened UN Security Council sanctions on Iran, President Obama agreed to immediately weaken them, granting Iran some $20 billion in sanctions relief over 6 months (not merely $6-7 billion, as the Administration initially claimed) under the terms of the Geneva interim agreement. That agreement permitted Iran to retain intact all the essential elements of its nuclear weapons program - its Arak plutonium plant; continued uranium enrichment; intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) programs, even retention of its enriched uranium stocks. (Iran was simply required to reduce these to an oxide which can be restored in weeks to weapons-grade uranium.)

• Last month, President Obama freed five senior Taliban terrorist commanders in exchange for an American serviceman who may have been a deserter.

“President Obama’s record vis-a-vis radical Islamic regimes and movements speaks for itself,” said the ZOA in a statement. “He favors accommodation with radical Islam, its regimes and its leaders. He has less interest in traditional U.S. allies and is willing to pick fights with them or abandon them. It now appears also to be true with respect to President Obama’s policy towards Hamas. Certainly, President Obama has said nothing at all about the Hamas/Fatah unity regime being a disaster and calling for its abrogation.

Victor Davis Hanson:

Israel, Jews, and the Obama Administration

Posted By Victor Davis Hanson

Can you feel the warmth? President Obama meets with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, Oct 1st, 2014. (Rex Features via AP Images)

Even some Democrats in Congress have come to the conclusion that after the brouhaha over Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech before Congress, President Obama wants to radically downgrade the long American special relationship with democratic Jewish Israel — and perhaps has a dislike of the idea of Israel. Add up the administration’s initial disparagement on the matter of Israeli settlements, untoward administration remarks during the Gaza War, its assumptions that a future autonomous West Bank had a right to insist on becoming Judenfrei, its downplaying the Iranian nuclear threat, John Kerry’s various editorializing about Israeli supposed overreactions, the constant hectoring of Israel, and rumors of a slowdown in military aid to Israel during the Gaza war, and so on and so on.

These acts seem to fit into a prior landscape of the administration’s anti-Jewish and anti-Israeli supposed slips, gaffes, and smears.

I thought it a bit strange that in 2008 the Obama campaign lobbied the Los Angeles Times^[1] not to release a tape of Obama’s remarks at a 2003 dinner honoring Palestinian activist Rashid Khalidi when then-state senator Obama supposedly thanked the latter for reminding him of his own “biases” and “blind spots” on the Middle East. Why not just release the innocuous tape I thought. But then again things happen at dinners.

I thought it a bit strange when would-be national security advisor to the 2008 Obama campaign, Zbigniew Brzezinski, hinted that he might think it a good idea to shoot down Israeli jets ^[2] should they go over U.S.-controlled Iraqi airspace on their way to hit Iran’s nuclear facilities. But then again everyone says strange things now and then.

I thought it a bit strange that Samantha Power ^[3] would become such a prominent Obama advisor after she hypothesized about sending U.S. forces into the Israeli-Palestinian dispute ^[4] to keep both sides honest. But then again it is easy to take things out of context. And who, after all, would even envision U.S. and Israeli soldiers shooting at each other?

I thought it a bit strange that Barack Obama’s minister, whose “audacity of hope” sloganeering became the title of Obama’s second book, whined shortly after his former protégé assumed the presidency, “Them Jews ain’t going to let him talk to me ^[5].” But then again one should not fall into the guilt-by-association trap of “birds of a feather flock together.”

I thought it was strange when Obama’s first call as president ^[6] went to Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas. But then again I shrugged that his first interview went to the newspaper Al-Arabiya, and he declared a “special relationship” with the virulently anti-Israeli Prime Minister and now President of Turkey Recep Erdogan.

I thought it strange that Obama in 2009 called in Jewish leaders only to lecture on the need to put “daylight” between Israel and the United States ^[7]. But then I assumed that these leaders did not seem too disturbed about such comments.

I thought it strange when Barack Obama stormed out of a White House meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu and left him to stew alone for over an hour ^[8]. But then again I noted that he was hungry and wanted to step out for a while to dine alone with his family.

I thought it strange that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would leak the fact that for 43 minutes ^[9] — not 42 or 44 — she berated Prime Minister Netanyahu about settlements on the West Bank. But then who really counts minutes on the phone?

I thought it a bit strange that Al Sharpton became Obama’s chief contact with the African-American community and a habitual visitor to the Oval Office, given that he has a long history ^[10] of anti-Semitism slurs, highlighted by eerie quotes like “If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house!”  But then again, I wrote that off as just another Jesse Jackson-like Hymietown off-the-cuff quote.

I thought it strange that Obama trashed the Israeli prime minister in an open-mic putdown. But then I note that so did French President Nicolas Sarkozy, and thus so what?

I thought it strange when Obama’s ambassador to Belguim seemed to justify Islamic anti-Semitism as if it were the fault of Jews in Israel ^[11]: “A distinction should be made between traditional anti-Semitism, which should be condemned, and Muslim hatred for Jews, which stems from the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians…an Israeli-Palestinian peace treaty will significantly diminish Muslim anti-Semitism.” But then I note that ambassadors are often not an impressive bunch.

I thought it strange that aides to the president in unattributed remarks would smear the combat veteran Netanyahu as both a “coward” and “a chickensh-t.” ^[12] But then again, who knows what is actually said off the record?

I thought it strange that after radical Islamic terrorists deliberately targeted a Jewish Kosher market in Paris to kill Jews the president would characterize the attacks cavalierly and inaccurately as terrorists who “randomly shoot a bunch of folks in a deli in Paris.”^[13] I thought all that strange — and yet perhaps the pattern now not so strange.

After six years, all this — and far more examples — makes perfect sense. There is only one pattern to supposed gaffes and slips: they always go against the state of Israel and give the benefit of the doubt to its numerous enemies. The administration’s words about Israel naturally explain its deeds, and then again its deeds its words: Barack Obama is not and has never been fond of Israel, both the reasoning for its existence and the vigilance necessary for its continuance.

It’s time Americans accept this radical detour from 70 years of American foreign policy. It is what it is — and it is far from over yet.

There is this Chicago guy Steve Sheffey, a shill for Obama, who has to twist himself into a pretzel to try and defend obama's pro jihadist, stab Israel in the back policies. To read more about that, see

Some of the dangerous nonsense he writes "The deal will have a sunset clause, after which we will be in a better position than we are today to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Without a deal, a nuclear arms race in the Middle East is more likely. The U.S. is working on Iran's other nefarious activities, but those are beyond the scope of a deal on nuclear weapons. A terrorist state without nuclear weapons is better than a terrorist state with nuclear weapons."

He writes the sunset clause is a good thing. His position is ridiculous. He says after that we will be in a better position to prevent Iran? Crazy!!! We will be in NO position to do so.

Steffey quotes ExMossad Dagan, who for political reasons keeps attacking Netanyahu and wants us to believe him, 
Ex-Mossad cheif, Meir Dagan was wrong about Muslim brotherhoodand Assad. Why should we take his word on #Iran?israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx…
Even the ultra liberal israeli newspaper says Dugan wrong about Iran.

Steffey  tries to defend Obama's LIES about Iran and claims Susan rice (who has tons of her $40 million) invested in Iranian related companies) answered Netanyahu's objections. Insanity. Appeasement.

1. Obama claims his negotiations working. Liberal Washington post gave him 3 pinochios for those lies.

2. Obam ignores evidence from IAEA that as we speak, Iran is hiding nuclear programs 

3. While Obama is talking to them, they destroy mock up of US aircraft carrier.

4. Mullahs say Obama desperate to make a deal

5. Egypt, Israel, UAE, Jordan, saudis are beside theselves over Obama's betrayal.

6. Obama's top advisor, Valrie Jarett, born in iran and says she is Muslim.

7. Obama makes no demand that Iran stop exporting error on 5 continents, that it stop saying it wanst to destroy Israel and USA.

This Sheffey suggests that Israel's ambassador not attending the speech =the betrayal of so many Congressional Democrats boycotting the speech or attending and turning their backs on the Israel Prime Minister. Steffey  applauds the fact that Brad Schenider, the JStreet ultra liberal who just lost his Congressional seat to a real supporter of Israel, Bob Dold, attended the speech. He's planning to run again in that very Jewish district, God help us. Yes but look at the video and the  man sitting with a scowl as the prime Minister speaks, That is Brad Schneider, who PRETENDS to support Israel but is another hater. Jan Schakowski, another jewish traitor, was disinvited from a big dinner by keshet that was going to honor her, because of her betrayal of Israel. Scowling, sitting in disrespect Brad Schneider, fittingly,  is on the far left of the picture, in the second row, insulting Netanyahu. What can you expect from a  supporter  of the traitorous J STreet(http://youtu.be/5fry4qnx_YA ). See Schenider sit here http://www.c-span.org/video/?c4530021/look-came-didnt-stand

Richard Baehr on the disgusting Democratic boycotters

The Obama-organized boycott of Netanyahu's talk is of a different scale ‎entirely, and more than just symbolic. The vice president, secretary of state, and every other member of the Obama team ‎found somewhere to be other than at Netanyahu's speech. They were ‎joined by what we should now call the BDS Democrats, the 56 ‎Democrats from the House and Senate who refused to attend ‎Netanyahu's talk, and by their absence, they did something more ‎significant than boycott a hummus brand. They boycotted the ‎leader of an American ally, and boycotted Israel, and then lined up ‎for the camera to hammer Netanyahu as soon as the talk was ‎finished.‎

This despicable behavior should mark these members from here on. ‎It is good to see that one Jewish Democratic congresswoman, Jan ‎Schakowsky, received some immediate negative feedback after her ‎boycott of Bibi's speech. Schakowsky has gotten a free pass for ‎years as a supposed pro-Israel member, while effectively limiting ‎her support for Israel to voting for foreign aid. That has become the ‎lowest common denominator standard that is used by Jewish groups ‎to call someone pro-Israel. 

The Jews on campus who align with SJP and its allied anti-Semites ‎and Israel-haters serve a useful function, allowing these groups to ‎attempt to detoxify their otherwise noxious conduct by claiming, ‎‎"Look, Jews are also members of SJP and other pro-boycott groups." ‎Senators Al Franken, Brian Schatz, and Bernie Sanders, and House ‎members Steve Cohen, Schakowsky and John Yarmuth, have done ‎the same thing this week by their participation in the boycott, doing ‎real damage not just to maintaining a bipartisan pro-Israel ‎consensus in Congress, but in legitimizing and making it easier for ‎other members to boycott ‎Netanyahu and boycott Israel as well. 

At this point, it seems as if for some members, ‎earning points from the Congressional Black Caucus for standing ‎with Obama and his outreach to and swooning for Iran, matters a lot ‎more than standing with Israel.
