A Case Of Historical Amnesia

Some men are born to commit shameful acts. The speech given in Cairo by Barack Obama was just one such act in a career of shameful acts. It revealed that the curtain of moving lies which is the Obama administration has not only become the burial ground for real justice and peace in the Middle East but also the incubator for the next dreadful conflict there.

Islamic totalitarianism and terror are absolute evils with which there can be no compromise. Yet Obama's confidence in his flabby and lethal policies grows with every step he takes away from reality reaching complete conviction in the editorials of the New York Times, the resolutions of the corrupt United Nations and the assent of the timid European Union.

As Obama stood in Cairo beaming his wisdom towards us and as he delivered his speech in which, for the comfort of his audience, he had re-written the history of the region, America's role there, and the accomplishments of Islam, he displayed his particular faculty for realising halluciniations. He shares this faculty with a sycophantic, uncritical, mass media that serves as his microphone. He, and they, insist on telling us things that are just not so: Islam is a tolerant and peaceful religion and that it paved the way for Europe's renaissance!! I think not. The list of distortions kept getting longer and longer. As in the case of Jeremiah Wright, and recently with Judge Sonya Sotomayor, we are told that we did not hear what we heard, did not see what we saw, did not read what we read, and that everything has been taken out of context. Well, here's some context for you Barry: Since the establishment of Israel in 1948 she has rarely known a moment of peace. Israel's enemies hate her because she exists not because of settlements in the West Bank or anywhere else. In their view they are merely carrying out Mohammed's exhortations, contained in the Koran, to kill and destroy the Jews. Any pretext that comes to hand will do and a completely fabricated cause such as the alleged misfortunes of the so-called Palestinians will do nicely. This has led them to an orgy of violence and murder inflicitng untold suffering throughout the world despite the fact that from 70 A.D., when the Romans banished the Jews from their lands where they had lived for thousands of years, through 400 years of occupation by the Ottoman Empire until the end of the British Mandate in 1947 there was never, not once, a Palestinian country, state, region, currency, government, president, parliament, king, capital city, or border. The so-called Palestinians simply have no case but their concocted claims of dislocation have been advanced as arguments for statehood. It's an enormous hoax. After World War II the camps containing millions of refugees had disappeared within 10 years. It is a glaring example of the cynical manipulation involved when after 6 decades there are still Palestinian refugee camps. With the billions of dollars that have been given to them in aid, the camps could easily have been eradicated long ago, but they are used to evoke the world's sympathy for their cause and incite hatred against Israel. Used properly, had they not been embezzled by the thieving leaders of the PLO, and Iran's proxies Hamas and Hizbollah, these funds would long since have allowed the so-called Palestinians to live civilized and productive lives had they chosen so to do. In contrast, the approximate number of 750,000 Jewish refugees who were dispossessed and expelled from Arab countries, due to a combination of arab nationalism and anti-semitism, escaped to Israel and elsewhere and there isn't a suicide bomber in sight! Strange, is it not?

It is clear that Obama was on a romp of fantasy. I nearly collapsed on the floor with laughter when he described Islam as a tolerant religion. This would explain why the the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem conspired with Adolf Hitler and the Nazis to annihilate jews in the Middle East. Islam is not a creed; it's a cancer. Surely Obama must be living in an alternate universe. Doubtless he also believes that "All Star Wrestling" is real and that the Flat Earth Society might be on to something.

When Obama solemnly intoned that his foremost responsibility was to protect the security of the American people I could barely contain myself. A cursory examination of his policies, from closing Guantanamo to bringing terrorists to our shores for trial in American courts, reveals that he is the greatest security risk we have! As often happens in his speeches this one was laced with the most egregious historical inaccuracies, misinterpretations, as well as misleading and incomplete references, displaying that he suffers from an advanced case of historical amnesia when it comes to the reasons for Israel's existence. His reasoning, which leads him to false comparisons between the aftermath of the holocaust and the establishment of Israel, so-called Palestinian refugees and slavery in the United States, and apartheid in South Africa, bears no visible means of support and would be enough to make Edgar Allan Poe tear up his "Tales Of Mystery And Imagination" and start all over again. There wasn't one meagre strand of worn out thread that connected his premise to his conclusions. He must have been very loosely educated at Harvard or he is being very badly advised now. I suspect it's a bit of both.

In articles on my blog, prior to his election, I said that the Middle East was where Obama would betray not only American interests but also the state of Israel and so it has now come to pass. Nothing could be more clear. He is an Arab/Muslim inclined politician who is setting in motion the exact circumstances for a massive conflict in the region. It's not that Obama et al are unable to recognise our enemies it's that they actually prefer them to our friends and so the existence of Israel and her territorial integrity are being subordinated to the uninterrupted flow of oil to all of the world's industrialized nations. It is also possible that a Faustian bargain may have been struck between the Arabian Muslim sheiks on one hand and Obama and the liberal left-wing elites in America, whereby the sheiks will provide all the financing from their trillions of petro-dollars in order to allow the Democrats to pursue permanent majorities provided they act in accordance with the desires of Islam and against the vital interests of the United States. Neither Anti-Semitism nor the alleged pursuit of peace alone can fully explain the policies and the political appointments of the Obama administration. Such foul treachery can only be explained when one realizes that they have been seduced by the real possibility of permanent power and preferment thereby proving Lord Acton's dictum that "power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

What, one might ask, is the excuse for the complicity of the European Union in all of this? Well, their governments are intimidated by their rapidly expanding Muslim populations and the tendency of Muslims to use violence and murder against those who raise their voices in protest. The European press has long since succumbed to self-censorship due to intimidation by Muslim violence. These two factors combined produce policies of appeasement that could lead to eventual defeat and surrender, but it gets worse. The Arabs, awash in petro-dollars, have been busy, for decades, buying influence everywhere corrupting and corroding everyone they touch. The Europeans too need Arab oil and don't forget the sheer weight of demographics is in the Muslims' favor. They are ferocious breeders. Within 4 years the ancient European cities of Antwerp, Amsterdam, Brussels, and Rotterdam will have Muslim populations in excess of 50%. At the current rate of immigration and births, France will be a Muslim country by the year 2040. These are not encouraging numbers and suggest that Islamic totalitarianism could prevail without firing a single shot. Considering their history, however, it is unlikely that any of this will be resolved without bloodshed and lots of it. Ever since the 17th. century when they were defeated at the gates of Vienna by the king of Poland, who led a Christian army, the Muslims have cherished the thought of reconquering everything they lost in Europe.

For years, fatuous and traitorous European liberals and Islamic fascists have been in an unholy alliance. On the face of it, it would appear that their interests would have been inimical to one another. However, they shared common goals: the dislocation of Europe from American influence, the withdrawal of American support from Israel, the demonization of Israel as an apartheid state committing war crimes, and an increase of Muslim immigrants to Europe. To varying degrees each goal has been reached and some even surpassed. Unbelievably, they have even been assisted from time to time by American presidents and politicians eager to demonstrate all the confidence of their inability.

The brilliant and always perceptive Caroline Glick of the Jerusalem Post has written: "More disturbing than Mitchell's positions are his marching orders from Obama. Unlike previous presidential envoys who have come to Israel every few weeks and then disappeared when reality proved stronger than their peace fantasies, Obama has ordered Mitchell to cast reality to the seven winds and set up a permanent forward command post in Jerusalem directly subordinate to the White House.

To fulfill his writ, Mitchell has appointed four deputies - all known for their open sympathy for the Palestinians and their hostility to the Netanyahu government. They are Mara Rudman, of the George Soros-financed Center for American Progress; Lt.-Gen. Keith Dayton, who is now building a Fatah army in Jordan which he recently reportedly acknowledged will turn its American-financed guns on Israel within a few short years if Israel refuses to establish a Jew-free Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria; Fred Hoff, one of the greatest champions of a US-Syrian rapprochement and of an Israeli surrender of the Golan Heights; and David Hale, the architect of the current US policy of rebuilding the Hizbullah-infested Lebanese army. Hale will be permanently stationed in Jerusalem in a large office suite that will house Mitchell's operation.

Aside from overseeing his deputies, Mitchell has also been charged with leading a new administration program aimed at undermining Israel's ability to make independent military and intelligence decisions. Back in 2008, when Obama's National Security Adviser Gen. Jim Jones served as then-secretary of state Condoleezza Rice's special adviser on Israeli-Palestinian security issues, he authored a report calling for the US to assess what Israel's "real" security interests in Judea and Samaria are and to limit US support to Israel to filling those necessarily minimal interests. Jones's report, which rejected all Israeli claims in Judea and Samaria and underplayed the strategic significance of Palestinian rejection of Israel's right to exist, was viewed as deeply hostile toward Israel, and the Olmert government prevailed on the Bush administration to set it aside.

This is not the case today, however. Obama shares Jones's view that Israel's perception of its security needs is exaggerated. As he made clear in his speeches last week at Cairo and Buchenwald, Obama thinks that Israel suffers from a Holocaust-induced paranoia that causes it to wrongly believe that Arabs and Iranians wish to wipe it off the map. In Obama's view, Israel's fears can be dealt with, and a Middle East peace can be wrought through a US takeover of both Israel's security assessments and its military and intelligence operations and policies."

With friends like these Israel hardly needs enemies. Let us have some clarity. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East and an outpost of western values that has been under relentless attack since her inception. Yet she is the one who is being bullied into making even more self-destructive concessions to appease genocidal scum who never keep their word but always make good on their threats and whose undiminished goal is still the extinction of Israel. Recklessly, one hopes not willfully, Obama and all the chancelleries of Europe have simply failed to diagnose the nature of the threat. Thus all of their remedies are doomed to failure. The real nature of the threat is the unremitting march of Islamic totalitarianism that seeks to give us a one-way ticket back to the 7th. century. On that journey we will be treated to all of the cruelty, all of the brutality, and all of the barbarism contained in their title deed, the Koran itself. The goal of Islamic domination under the supervision of Sharia law has never been abandoned. Grasp that and you will understand why Obama's pandering to the Islamic world and his policies in the Middle East are tragically flawed portending Armageddon.

When power-hungry, frightened, weak, but determined mediocrities bring their pre-conceived ideas and prejudices to resolve an intractable problem, it is usually the reputation of the problem that remains intact.

Israel is being pressured to sacrifice something of vital strategic importance, namely land, for something that can be revoked within fifteen seconds, namely peace. If Iran is allowed to realise her nuclear ambitions, as now seems likely, and if Syria is not stopped from pursuing nuclear proliferation, how does Israel's sacrifice of land contribute to stability in the region? Obama and his stooges have left this unexplained. The answer, of course, is that such a sacrifice would be a prescription for national suicide. Obama's policies are not policies at all. They are a disease.

Therefore, let the word go forth upon the wings of honest and determined purpose that Israel will tolerate no bullying, will defend her existence, will resist all attempts to have a suicidal two-state solution imposed upon her, will protect her people, and will guard her ancient land, with all her might and all the power she can muster against the hate and remorseless tyranny that have tormented her so unjustly for so long.

"What stronger breast-plate than a heart untainted!
Thrice is he arm'd that hath his quarrel just,
And he but naked,though lock'd up in steel,
Whose conscience with injustice is corrupted."
