To the Wolves

Obama is an appeaser of the first magnitude and is ready to sacrifice Israel in spite of his tremendous level of Jewish support. Obama sees the Palestinians as beleaguered and oppressed kindred spirits in the struggle against an imperial, expansionist, colonial outpost without regard to the larger context of Israel's precarious survival, not merely against constant Palestinian terror, initiated not in 1967 when Israel acquired the so-called territories but even before the creation of the Jewish state in 1948. In 1929, the Jewish community of Hebron was massacred by their Arab neighbors. Pograms against Jews in the Holy Land originated well before this outrage. The Palestinian Liberation Organization, with its charter calling for Israel's destruction, which raised terror against innocents to a high art and was the precursor organization to groups like al Qaeda, was founded in 1964, three (3) years before Israel even came into possession of Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem. In any event, the Palestinian issue is not the heart of the matter. The basis of the conflict is Pan-Arab and Muslim rejectionism of the concept of a Jewish state. These nations, which dwarf Israel and which could easily have absorbed Palestinian refugees in 1948 as Israel did with the roughly equivalent number of Jews expelled from Arab and Muslim countries but have instead kept the Palestinians as stateless pawns to inflame hostility toward Jews, have been in a state of war with Israel since her creation. Only Egypt and Jordan have given up overt hostilities, but the peace that exists today between Israel and these neighbors is anything but warm with both Jordan and Egypt routinely denouncing Israel and Egypt largely turning a blind eye to massive weapons smuggling into Gaza. The Palestinians are cynically used by other Muslim leaders to divert attention from their own corruption and mismanagement, but do you really think leaders in places like Iran and Syria with little concern for the welfare of their own citizens, care so much for the alleged plight of the Palestinians (whose own suicide bombers caused Israel to impose the restrictions which complicate Palestinian day to day life)? Does Israel's claimed repression fuel the fire of Jihad in Kashmir? Does the tiny Jewish state cause starvation in Darfur? Obama's speech simply played into the hands of radicals who agree that if the Holocaust occurred at all that it is comparable to what Israel forces the Palestinians to endure and that Israel's very existence is artificial in the region rather than an organic and Biblically proven feature of the area with a continuous Jewish presence since the days of David even if it was made smaller by exile and forced diaspora. The Jews were granted that land by the Lord and no just American leader would ever try to separate the Jews from their one minuscule piece of land in a sea of Arab and now Persian Muslims who feel Koranically-commanded to kill them.
