How much does Barack Obama hate Israel and want to throw her under the bus? Here’s how much; the Obama administration not only excluded Israel from a new counterterrorism forum in Spain, it didn’t even mention Israel in its remarks. If there were ever a country that has dealt with murderous terrorist attacks over and over again, that country would be Israel.
Here’s what Maria Otero, the State Department’s Under Secretary for Civilian Security, Democracy, and Human Rights, said:
Last September at the official
launch of the Global Counterterrorism Forum, I had the privilege to
introduce the premiere of a film ‘Hear their Voices’, which tells the
stories of eleven survivors of terrorist attacks from Pakistan, Jordan,
Northern Ireland, Uganda, Turkey, Indonesia, India, Spain, Columbia, and
the United States. The film, which was produced by the Global Survivors
Network, is a powerful plea for audiences around the world, especially
those sympathetic to the grievances expressed by extremists, to
recognize the human cost of terrorism and I am delighted that our
Spanish hosts are planning on showing this film here later this
afternoon.
When Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
announced the coalition’s formation in June, she didn’t include Israel
on her list of countries that suffer from terror attacks. In the
controversy that followed, the supposition was that Obama and his
minions caved into pressure from Turkey, whose leadership has become
Islamist, and other Arab states, which hate Israel.
Defenders of Israel were furious, even
those who were Democrats. Josh Block, a Democratic strategist and
former spokesman for AIPAC, said,
When the administration promised
to include Israel in the counterterrorism forum that the United States
founded—after Jerusalem’s inexplicable exclusion from
the initial meeting a month ago—one would think they would be true to
their word. Clearly someone failed here. How Israel could
be excluded from another meeting of an anti-terror forum that we chair
is beyond comprehension, especially one that focuses on victims of
terrorism. At a time when Romney is challenging
the administration’s record on U.S.-Israel relations, this error stands
out.
First of all, Mr. Block, no one failed
here. Obama succeeded beyond his wildest dreams, kissing the posteriors
of Arab states and knifing Israel in the back. Block should be ashamed
of himself if he ever thought Obama was a friend to Israel; all Jews
should know better than that.
Jonathan Schanzer, vice president for research at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said:
“What we’re seeing is a trend of Israel
being left out of the global discussion on terrorism, while Israel was
extremely helpful during the beginning stages of this conversation. The
[Obama] administration is downplaying the struggle that Israel has been
enduring. I believe to a certain extent, this is due to regional
politics, and it’s disconcerting to see this change. It just looks like a
quiet effort to downplay the issue.”
The State Department would not answer questions about the matter. Maybe they should look here and see how each one of the 1,220 Jews killed in Israel because they were Jews died.
For a Jew to vote for Barack Obama, who
has betrayed Jews time after time, is a travesty. For Barack Obama to
betray Jews, as he did when he cheered Rashid Khalidi, listened to
Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakhan, paved the way for the Muslim
Brotherhood, and excluded Israel from the group they belong in as much
as any other country, comes as naturally as breathing.
