Washington Times: Barack Obama to Israel: Drop dead!

Topics: Political News and commentaries

obsessive_delusional _Obama.jpg More on Obama's Middle East Speech that the National Enquirer describes as "igniting a Middle East Powder Keg". Not only do we have a UN that intends to give special protection to Islamist regimes (it wants to criminalize religious heresy, provided that those making the claim are Islamists) ... we have the president of the United States essentially giving Muslims the green light to destroy Israel, and more and more journalists and pundits are seeing it as such.

Take, for example, Wesley Pruden at The Washington Times. The lead in Pruden's piece says it all: Barack Obama to Israel: Drop dead. Titled "Obama's great gift to the Palestinians", it is indeed that, and more.

Pruden writes (emphasis mine):

[...] He announced Thursday that a Palestinian state, soon to be decreed by the United Nations General Assembly, must be drawn to 1967 borders. This tells the Palestinians and their Arab allies and enablers that events do not have to have consequences.

We're not supposed to remember that the Arab states attacked Israel in 1967 (and again in 1973), betting they could crush the Jews and take the looted land. Instead they were themselves squashed like bugs. Their airmen were shot out of the skies and their soldiers, routed, threw away their shoes in the desert and ran in panic looking for somewhere to hide, like Mr. Lincoln's army fleeing Manassas. The losers have been demanding a mulligan ever since, and now Barack Obama has offered them one.

Insult was added to injury when the president, in what the White House called "a major speech," announced his betrayal of Israel on the eve of the arrival in Washington of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Until now, Washington had insisted that Israel and the Palestinians should negotiate their borders. Mr. Obama has changed the rules, moved the goalpost and, for good measure, tilted the playing field against the Jews. Agreement first, then the negotiations.

Mr. Obama chose the State Department to announce what he called "a new chapter in American diplomacy," that "it will be the policy of the United States to promote reform and support transitions to democracy." America's future, he said, will be bound to the Middle East by forces of economics, security, history and fate. He could have said, but didn't because he dared not, that this could be a Middle East without Israel.

Keep reading.

Pruden goes on to refer to Obama's comment in his speech in which he said "What America and the international community can do is state frankly what everyone knows, that a lasting peace will involve two states for two peoples" ... and aptly points out that some of the rest of us can "state frankly" what everyone also knows, that "the international community" is now joined openly - for the first time - by an American president who will try to force Israel to accept surrender on Palestinian terms ... which gives the Arabs what they want: "A better stage to launch rockets and invasions, and give up only cheap promises that no one would expect them to keep."

In other words, our delusional, narcissistic, pro-Muslim, anti-Israel president's message to Israel is very clear: "Drop dead!".
