The Netanyahu Visit and the Burden of Jewish History
Having married two Jewish woman, and having a Jewish son, this may be one of the more difficult pieces I have written...and one of the most heart felt.

I read an article online yesterday that stated many of the President’s 2012 campaign leaders are heading to Israel to work against Netanyahu’s re-election bid. I don’t know if it is true, but there is a grain of truth that this administration would like to see new leadership in Israel. This is about politics. Obama doesn’t want to give Netanyahu recognition before an election. Obama is probably furious that Congress is. Otherwise, this isn’t really an issue that he has been invited to talk to Congress. With Hezbollah lopping rockets right now, Netanyahu looks stronger in his position and purpose.

Sure looks like it....

Um, not sure what you mean by that, but fair enough. What seems to me unreasonable is these ‘campaign types’ mounting a campaign on foreign shores. They will not be knocking on doors here in America. Did you catch that? To me, to put together an international effort, why yes, you almost have to have a known figure-head like Obama organizing the team, and recruiting the financiers to pull it off.Somebody big and important is behind the curtain. But, like you, I prefer facts, so it did also crossed my mind when i read the article there were no facts supplied to support a statement that Obama is involved. I guess that is why I stated I didn’t know if it was true. But then again, if you were familiar with my own personal beliefs that I have repeated ad nauseum around here-- I don’t think Obama is behind anything. I think he is mental, and Jarrett is running the show.
In sharp contrast, the chief world leftist socialist organization called itself Communist *International.*
And the original song ("Arise ye wretched of the earth!") of the Communist movement was the "Internationale."
Only with Stalin did the Russians sing of a Russian movement, or include any nationalism at all in their pronouncements. The State Hymn of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (a name Lenin chose to imply the foundation of a one-world government) gives the clues to Stalin's thinking, and self-glorification:
"Unbreakable union of free-born Republics, Great Russia has welded forever to stand!"
And:
"Be true to the people, so Stalin has reared us, inspired us to labor and exploits of might!"
And the last verse, during the war:
"Our forces we've train'd up and tested in battle,
"Mean-spir'ted aggressors to sweep from the road!
"We'll seal our posterity's fortunes in battle
"And bring to our Motherland glory and laud!"
Right along with the German anthem, which translates as "Germany rules over ev'ryone,/Over ev'ry one in the world!"
Nationalism. That's what the Jews associated with "rightism."
And let's not forget: Theodor Herzl's original model called for share-and-share-alike communities. The kibbutzim had much in common with the kholkoz, or collective farm, in Soviet Russia. Except the kibbutz, being smaller, was far easier to manage.
But when the Soviet Union broke away from Israel and sided with the Arabs, so did the left. But Jews in America still didn't realize it. And in Israel, I have to say: how a paper like Haaretz can keep on with a leftist editorial policy, in light of the utter failures of leftist policy and diplomacy, I cannot fathom.
Of course, America never intervenes in the politics and foreign policy of other countries, right?
the elite of Israel and the elite of the US think they know what's best for the people of Israel and the people of the US. They take great care to manipulate what we think.
The LEADERS are the root cause of such a problem?
It's nearly all For Show, and I've recognized that for literally decades. But so many voters think their selections will bring "Change..."
Right....
After the past hundred years of bankster control of the nations money, we are getting about 3 cents change for the hours labored by all producers (employers and employees) and thanks to taxes, people don't even get to keep that tiny payment. If it wasn't for advances in technology (in spite of the economic and political system) the change wouldn't be enough to prevent starvation.
Eventually the same thing will happen as in every previous age of history, collapse and revolution, followed by the same mistakes again.

So it is OK for Obama to refuse to see Natanyahu since he doesn't want o interfere in the Israeli election but it is OK if he does this in Nigeria or via the back door by financing a group to overthrow Netanyahu...
To accomplish this, OVM (One Voice Movement ) has hired Jeremy Bird, the head of President Obama’s supremely successful “get out the vote campaign” in the last U.S. election.
Bird and his team have announced their intention to visit 1.5 million residences in Israel to encourage people to vote for a change in government (so much, by the way, for President Obama’s supposed non-involvement in the Israeli election).
Where is the money coming from to pay Bird and his team?
It turns out there is very little “grass roots” about OVM at all–on its own webpage, OVM lists the following entities as donors to the organization:
The Alliance for Middle East Peace, 3 Faiths Forum, Alliance for Peacebuilding, Association of British Muslims, The Council of Christians and Jews, Christian Muslim Forum, City Circle Group, UK Conservative Party, Crown Family Philanthropies, Dotsub, Elays Network, Generations for Peace, Google, Harvard Negotiation Litigation Clinical Program, Generations for Peace, High Atlas Foundation, UK Labour Party, Labour Friends of Israel, Labour Friends of Palestine and the Middle East, British Muslims for a Secular Democracy, New Israel Fund, The Rayne Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, The Sainsbury Family Charitable Trusts, Skoll Foundation, Nathan Cummings Foundation, Eranda, United Jewish Appeal, Union of Jewish Students, Waltham Forest Council, Wandsworth Council, Westminster Foundation for Democracy, Woolf Institute, Yachad, and the European Commission.
Oh yes, and we almost forgot to mention: The U.S. State Department.
And most of this because Netanyahu calls Obama and his acolytes what they are - conniving hypocrites. And on what planet is Netanyahu addressing congress likely to make the situation with Iran WORSE?
Iran has just published the personal details of his kids and family and encouraged people to kill them.
This is OK with Obama, Kerry and the poison witch, Pelosi?
"
If it isn't, then it will be completely out of character giving the WH's dismal history of dissing Israel, and it's leaders....
Thanks for the post.
Such unending, vial hatred has been going on far longer than I have been here but having lived and worked with many Jewish friends I have never felt threatened in any way by them on a religious basis. Not so for the few Muslims I have had contact with. It appears to me that the Muslims hate us Christians just as much as they hate the Jews and no other religion gets any respect either.
Just like King Obama, the Muslims carry the attitude "It is my way or the highway" and that won't fly here in my America!
Now was Theodor Herzl alone in his idea of self-determination of the Jewish people. Eliezer Yitzhak Perelman, better known to history as Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, had another vision. If the Jews are to be one people, with one land, they must have one language. And if they do not speak one language, they must create one! Or resurrect one, one they had not spoken in everyday usage for two thousand years. I refer, of course, to the Hebrew language.
Back to Theodor Herzl: if he witnessed the ugliness in Paris and elsewhere in France today, he would shout from the rooftop, "What are you waiting for? Go up! Go up to the Land of Zion and Jerusalem!"
Actor Kirk Douglas, portraying Lt. Col. David "Mickey" Marcus USAR (a/k/a "Aluf Michael Stone") in "Cast a Giant Shadow," called Israel "the one place on this whole earth where [Jews] can go and live in peace." Until recently I might have been able to dispute him. Maybe I still can. But I have watched my fellow citizens elect someone (who was not even eligible to the office, but that's another debate) who brought back anti-Semitism in this country and actually made it respectable again, in leftist circles. I never thought I would live to see that day.
As to Israel, I think we should stop enabling this whole mideast conflict by giving so much money to Israel so they can buy weapons and wage war. And we should NOT wage war with ISIS, as they pose no threat to the USA. Let them settle the age old religious conflicts in THEIR region on their own- without our interference.
The problem that exists is not between the two countries but B.H. O. he is a muslim. he has the same hatred for Israel as does hamas and ALL of the rest of the islamic arab world has. just so you have a better idea as to how the major Jewish population think of 0 even though they voted for him is that he is a schavatzer (you can correct the spelling) and they did vote for him so they would not encounter political problems. They were sadly mistaken.
what 0 does not understand is that we will persevere while he will regardless of how much money he has acquired as the president will be relegated to intellectual bankruptcy a state that he has existed in and will never leave. he will in my opinion also not even have the respect of the black community since they are sliding down the economic slide faster the the rest of us and the ladder of success will be much more difficult to climb.
