WHO'S 'BACK' DOES OBAMA REALLY HAVE?

By Schmoel Yitzhak

If Mitt Romney is serious about de-throning Barack Obama by winning the Jewish vote, the Republican candidate already has all the ammunition he needs.

Romney's starting gun should fire off with the President's sanctimonious comment at the last AIPAC convention that he has "Israel's back."

Obama merely re-defined hypocrisy with his duplicity-riddled statement. What's more, the facts are all there for Romney to clearly define and employ them in order to garner the Jewish votes. To wit:

* WHERE'S ISRAEL'S CAPITAL: Since the birth of the Middle East's only working democracy, Israel's capital has been Jerusalem. It's the Knesset's home, the Prime Minister's residence and the base of Israel's assorted governmental bureaus. 

Yet, the White House says, no, Israel's capital is -- there's a brief pause here for station identification -- well, Obama, Inc. isn't sure where it is. This dastardly revelation was underlined at a recent State Department news conference during which a reporter queried the Department's spokeswoman about Uncle Sam's stand on Jerusalem as capital of Israel. 

Repeated queries brought the same reply that Jerusalem's status still must be negotiated between Israel and Who Knows Who.

Negotiated. What is there to negotiate? The unalterable fact has been on the ground since David Ben Gurion established the Jewish State in 1948 and planted the capital's flag in Jerusalem; not Tel Aviv, not Haifa and not Eilat.

"Is Jerusalem or is it not Israel's capital?" the journalist finally demanded of the State Department lady. 

No, she would not acknowledge same and rudely halted the questioning with the comment, "I already told you (that it must be negotiated)."

Now you know and I know and Mitt Romney knows full well that Ms. State Department merely was articulating the position of her boss, Hillary Clinton, and the not-Jerusalem platform established for the Secretary of State by the president.

If, in fact, Obama has "Israel's back," he would unequivocally assert what we all acknowledge; that Jerusalem is the capital; no ifs, ands or buts. But you'll hear nothing of the kind from Pennsylvania Avenue because the Chief Executive does not recognize what every Israeli -- and American Jews -- do; that the country's government is in Jerusalem. 

Therefore, why would any Israeli-loving American Jew vote for someone who won't support Israel on a clear-cut issue?

* THE IRANIAN THREAT: Where is Obama when Israel is threatened with extinction by Iran? The madman Ahmadinejad continually reiterates his kill-the-Jews position and just last week one of Iran's top generals unequivocally stated that Iran is "committed to Israel's annihilation." 

No matter how you shake it, those are more than fighting words, they have overtones of  an Iranian second Holocaust policy now espoused by the chief of staff of the iranian armed forces. 

Now if Uncle Sam's chief executive really had "Israel's back," he would have unequivocally denounced Ahmadinejad and his top general in the strongest possible terms while supporting an Israeli strike against Iran's nuclear facilities. 

Of course not a peep has been heard from the White House and for good reason; Obama has been kow-towing to the ayotollahs despite their continuous -- and meaningful -- threats against Israel. Ahmadinejad laughs at the "sanctions," knowing full well that they will not halt his country's move toward nuclear domination of the Middle East.

Experts in the field such as Jamie Fly, former advisor to the George W. Bush administration, and former Pentagon defense planner Matthew Koenig are clearly pointing out that interim agreements with the Iranians are worthless.

"On Iran," they recently wrote in the Washington Post, "Obama has dangled plenty of carrots. It's time to pull out some sticks. There's little reason to believe that Iran is serious about doing anything other than using the coming weeks to enrich more uranium and make progress toward a nuclear weapon."

Obama's only concern is the Autumn election and with that in mind, he will continue to stall and stall and stall until the votes are in whereupon he'll swing into his naive vision of nuclear reduction and global disarmament. That will include demands that Israel shut down its nuclear facilities. Jews in America and Israel should be aware that the president's long-term goal is to make nice to a Muslim world that hates America almost as much as it does the Jewish State.

Writing in IsraelHayom, columnist Dan Margalit accurately discerns what's behind the agreement that the International Atomic Energy Agency reached with Iran.

"At its core," Margalit correctly concludes, "the agreement is merely a goodwill gesture by the Iranians aimed at facilitating Obama's re-election in November."

And this Obama guy says he has "Israel's back." 

Mitt Romney, if you want the Jewish vote, the facts are there and cannot be denied by Hillary, her lackeys and certainly not the president who will repeatedly stab Israel -- front or back -- to win re-election!

TIME TO BOYCOTT ISRAEL’S ARABS

By Simon Fischler 

It is time for Israel’s eighty percent Jewish majority to boycott Israeli Arabs, their towns and their businesses!

African Americans (and liberal-to-moderate whites) boycotted white-owned companies and businesses in Alabama and elsewhere in the American South during the Civil Rights movement. We Jewish Israelis must show Israel’s Arab population that their racist policies against the state that gives them the greatest freedom in the world will no longer come for free – by doing the same! 

After the actions of Arab Knesset Member Ahmed Tibi this week, there appears to be no other choice. Speaking of choice, MK Tibi’s congratulations to the South African government for its anti-Semitic, anti-Israel decision to label products made in Judea and Samaria “Not Made in Israel” is at the heart of this matter. 

Tibi’s action, made by an Israel Knesset member -- someone sworn to support Israel --is beyond unacceptable. There are countries – particularly Islamic ones – where his support of a boycott movement against his own country would be declared treason, with a death sentence attached.

And the bitter truth is that Tibi’s choice to congratulate and encourage policies pushed by a clearly anti-Israel, anti-Semitic organization, The Boycott, Divest and Sanction movement IS treason. Certainly it is a gross abuse of the democracy in which Tibi is allowed to function.

This treasonous behavior of Israel’s Arab population, which has become a pasttime of many, has become too much to accept, starting with the overwhelmingly racist and self-inflicted Nakba Day. 

Nakba is the day Arabs who live and flourish in Israel cry about the fact that their leaders did not succeed in committing national genocide against the Jewish population of Israel back in 1947-48.

On Nakba Day the Arabs cry, bemoaning the fact that they listened to those same leaders and evacuated their homes in the land that is now Israel. Worse, their leaders were unable to kill, rob, steal and displace the Jewish Nation from its homeland! 

So ALL Nakba Day consists of is the Arabs’ continued ability to deny historical fact and the truth of their own actions, instead blaming the State of Israel – in which they live and thrive and which is ALLOWING them to sit around and whine like this! 

Israel, albeit a democracy, has no room for perpetual scapegoating and denial like this or that you see in today’s Western society.

Today I call on all true Israelis who love their nation to BOYCOTT all Arab towns, Souks, stores and places of business – sending a clear message to both the Arabs of Israel and the disgusting, obscene BDS Movement. 

This is an enormous, difficult task, because Israel – completely unlike the apartheid BDS and others would have you think exists in Israel – is a largely mixed society. While the majority of Arabs choose to live in their own cities and towns, they also work and carry on businesses outside of their home communities. 

This can mean that the nurse in charge of the cardiac doctor’s office at Belanson Hospital in Petah Tikvah is an Arab. How does one “boycott” her? Should she lose her job because she is represented by a treasonous idiot? 

This can mean that the local convenience store open on Shabat is run by Arabs, and the favorite Saturday night restaurant is run by Lebanese, Turks, or Druse. Are they the “enemy” or are they fellow loyal citizens of Israel? Terribly difficult choices and decisions must be made – all because MK Tibi is unable to appreciate which side of his pita has the hummus on it!

Levity aside, somehow the Arabs of Israel must understand that they can no longer enjoy a free ride in Israel. If they behave in treasonous fashion, they must pay for it, financially as well as physically. 

The anti-Semites at BDS must be forced to understand that their racist actions against Israel will worsen the lives of Arabs who live in Israel 

It is time for Israel and its citizens to stand up and say we are NOT a “catastrophe.” In fact, we are THE CORRECTION of ARAB/EUROPEAN IMPERIALIST WRONGS AND CATASTROPHES committed again and again against the Jewish Nation, particularly since the inception of Islam.

Unlike the foreign, colonial Arabs, whose nation was not born in Israel, the Jewish Nation was born here. We the Jewish Nation have lived in Israel since long before Jesus, Mohammad or the Arabs ever existed here. 

The Jewish Nation has survived in Israel through Greek, Roman, Crusader, European and Arab colonial rule. We will never again surrender our self-determination.

If you refuse to accept the national rights of the Jewish Nation then you must PAY FOR IT!
