THE WORLD AGAINST ISRAEL
September 17, 2009 by yipbop · Leave a Comment
Through political ploys, the Western world, especially the United States under President Barack Hussein Obama, is treating their ally Israel as an undesirable obstacle that needs to be obliterated in the near future through irrational concessions to an Islamic culture bent on conquering not just Israel, but the free world. The Western’s selfish reliance on oil takes precedence over suppporting a country such as Israel against an Islamic culture whose profound hatred towards democratic values has no limits.
The likes of the U.N., the E.U. and the U.S. whose desire to satisfy the Arab world to the detriment of the only democratic country in the Middle East will undoubtedly lead to a clash of civilizations rightfully prophesied by Samuel Huntington. Stopping construction in Judea and Samaria so that ultimately a sovereign Palestinian state can surface on all land conquered by Israel from Jordan in 1967 is much more important that taking action against a nuclear Iran which represents the greatest and imminent danger to the world. I should emphasize that Jordan was controlling illegally the lands known as Judea and Samaria pre-1967, rather than a sovereign Palestinian state, since this state never existed. Thus, the word “occupation” used ad nauseam by the world as a result of the successful Palestinian propaganda machinery to discredit Israel is a misnomer.
The Western world is actually pressuring Israel to share land with neighbors whose culture is the antithesis of freedom and Western values. Take as an example the use of the Palestinian television, teachers, textbooks, cartoons, music videos, sticker albums and summer camps to indoctrinate innocent Palestinian youth to hate Jews, and commit violence and suicide bombings. Just recently, it has been reported in August 24, 2009 the celebration of a massive wedding of 450 grooms in their mid-20’s with girls less than 10 years of age in Gaza. And let’s not ignore the honor killings and debasement of women in the Islamic world. The mantra voiced by the Western world to establish a Palestinian state that will “live side-by-side in peace and security alongside with Israel” is rewarding irrationality and is a catalyst for Muslim territorial expansionism with genocidal consequences not only for Israel, but for the world at large.
To add salt to the wound, the U.N. Human Rights Council, an utterly inefficient and apostate organization bent on the isolation and demonization of Israel, has recently disclosed the Goldstone report, a.k.a., a replica of the Durban I conference, whose deliberate 574-page report finds Israel guilty of crimes against humanity during the war against Hamas in Gaza while effectively giving Hamas a free pass. They even termed Hamas, who has a murderous covenant of death, as a “Palestinian armed organization,” and deliberately disregarded the fact that Israel’s operation was a defensive war to stop thousands of rockets against its civilians in the South. In addition, this one-sided and hearsay-based paperwork failed to mention that Hamas used its civilian population as human shields. What would you expect of a Goldstone panel set up such pearls as Syria, Pakistan, Malaysia and Bangladesh?
It is plainly clear that the world is turning its back on Israel and looking into their own interest, with a desire to provoke Israel’s alienation if not destruction; they are creating an unjust equivalence of a democratic state with a terror organization; however, this nefarious plot will undoubtedly rebound like a boomerang and encourage terrorist and jihadist entities throughout the globe to have free reign to pursue their murderous and theocratic vision of subjugating our freedom and liberty to a Jihadist and Islamic finale.
IS THERE A MUSLIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE?

It’s in the news, not only in Israel but throughout the world, that the new U.S. President, Barack Hussein Obama’s latest demands of Israel are not gaining much sympathy, not only from right wingers, but even from the Left crowd in Israel and U.S. He has displayed bigoted naivety with his insistence that Israel freeze settlement construction in many parts of Eastern Jerusalem. In fact, Obama is actually telling Israel that “Jews are not allowed to live in some parts of its capital city, Jerusalem.” What a chutzpah! While Israeli Arabs can rent and buy property anywhere they wish, Jews, as if to prolong the ghetto verdict of past times, cannot.
Not only has Obama offended most Jews who care about their identity, respect and security, he has also emboldened the Arab countries, especially the PA President, Mahmoud Abbas to continue to make even more outrageous demands from Israel. Indeed, the PA leadership does not have to lift a finger any longer; let the U.S., the “staunch ally” of Israel take care of their business; it is so much more effective. In fact, Prime Minister Netanyahu fumed at this imposition and admitted to being “surprised” as to how the so-called “staunch ally” of Israel could even suggest, let alone make, such a claim. This President Obama, as I pointed out in many of this writer’s previous essays, is taking sides with the Muslim world while repudiating Israel’s security and well-being. Is it naivety or is he instinctively pursuing Israel’s decline at the behest of the Islamic world? He has recently bowed and praised Saudi Arabia’s king where human rights violations are the highest in the world and, importantly, where no Jew can set foot in this country and apologized to the Islamic world in his “historic” speech in Cairo. Barack Hussein Obama even neglected to mention to the Muslim world that the Jews have a historic, cultural and religious link to the Land of Israel, by instead stating that Israel deserved to exist due to the Jews’ suffering during the Holocaust. His stance against Israel also disregards the unrelenting terrorism in the form of intifadas and rocket fire, the incitement and the covenants from Fatah and Hamas calling for the demise of Israel.
As I said previously, Barack Hussein Obama is either a very inexperienced and naïve politician on foreign policy or an astute pro-Islamic, anti-Israel player whose ultimate goal is to gain power and sympathies from the Islamic world even if it would threaten the security of Israel. If he actually dreams of his ambition of being the first President to actualize “peace” between Israel and the Palestinians, he is in for a downfall because Israel will not commit suicide. Just recently, and I presume that Obama does not read headlines when they are not in his strategic favor, a veteran senior leader of Fatah and other prominent members of the Palestinian authority government have proclaimed that they will never recognize Israel’s right to exist, nor would they relinquish the armed struggle against Israel.
The erosion of Israel’s security by splitting its land and sharing it with sworn enemies through Obama’s unrealistic and sinister demands is forging animosity and distrust from Jews around the world. The overwhelming majority of Jews in the U.S. who voted for Obama are in for a big disappointment should he continue with his dangerous anti-Israel stand which actually nullifies his previous pledge to safeguard the security and well-being of Israel.
WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE…

As if Israel did not have enough problems dealing with terrorism surrounding this tiny country and the scrutiny of the international community trying to undermine and prevent it from defending itself, we have now an Obama administration which in less than 100 days has forthrightly adopted the negotiating position of Arabs vis-à-vis Israel. Why I keep rehashing on Obama’s stand toward Israel, very simply, because facts on the ground speak loudly about his rebuke of the only democratic country in the Middle East, as opposed to his soft and partnering stand with the Islamic world.
For starters, we have seen the escalating pressure that Barack Hussein Obama and his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, has been putting on Israel to stop settlement construction, including for normal growth, in fact parroting Palestinian authority’s President Abbas, who has proclaimed that “peace talks” will not take place unless the Jewish people beyond the green line, are not only prevented from having babies or marrying, but they are expected to be evicted from Judea and Samaria, thus making these territories judenrein.
Obama’s apparent and overt alliance with the Arab world, including his apologetic speech delivered recently in Cairo, deliberately ignored past terrorism and Jihadist conflicts perpetrated against Israel as a result of the defunct Oslo agreement in spite of Israel’s continuous gestures toward peace. This so-called “staunch ally” is also ignoring the writings in the PA’s and Hamas covenants, their media incitement and Imams’ brainwashing tactics preaching that Palestine was stolen from them and that Israel has no right whatsoever to even an inch of the land.
Obama’s stand and Middle East policies against Israel including his soft talk on Iran have major Jewish leaders in the U.S. worried. For example, in his recent speech in Cairo, Obama spoke of Palestinian “resistance” a term that can only be translated into Israel being an illegal occupier, followed by equating the Palestinian “struggle” with Black South Africans during apartheid, in fact confirming the Arab allegation that Israel is a racist, apartheid state. To add salt to the wound, Obama also proclaimed that the Jewish homeland came about with the tragic history of the Holocaust, either deliberately or naively disregarding Jewish historical, cultural and biblical roots to Israel for thousands of years. All in all, Obama’s apparent evenhandedness between Islamic entities such as the PA and Hamas and Israel’s struggle for survival is quite disconcerting and worrisome.
We are stuck with a President of the U.S. who is kowtowing to hostile and terrorist entities and who refuses to call evil by its name. In the meantime, the clock is ticking quickly and Iran is continuing its deadly path toward producing nuclear weaponry. As Obama’s shocking offense to Israel and the Jewish people in general is becoming more prominent and dangerous, it is obvious that Israel’s survival and future hinges on taking its decisions on national security into its own hands.
WILL NOT BUILDING AN EXTRA BATHROOM TEMPER ISLAMIC RAGE?

It is obvious that the world leaders’ fixation on stopping settlement activity in Judea and Samaria (real names of what they call the West Bank) prevail over disastrous and genocidal events taking place in our planet which have regional and global implications such as genocide in Afghanistan by the Taliban, the riots by the oppressive and theocratic regime in Iran, the humanitarian catastrophe in Darfur, the displacement of millions of refugees in N. Pakistan, the unrelenting nuclear proliferation in N. Korea and Iran, the Islamic race toward establishing shariah law throughout the world through force, and on, and on. It is indeed very worrisome that our lives and freedom as human beings are in the hands of weak and unrealistic leaders who are bowing down to corruption and dictatorships such as the latest appeasement speech by Barak Hussein Obama to the Islamic world.
The greatest and most enduring fabrication of the past century is the Palestinian historical and cultural claims to the Land of Israel. Let me remind you that there was never a Palestinian state in Israel nor was there Palestinian language or culture in this land. In fact, prior to 1948, Jews were called Palestinians. Everyone seems to discard the important fact that this Palestinian claim never happened prior to the 1967 six-day Israel’s victory war. Never mind that the leaders of Europe and U.S. are completely ignoring this important fact, and that they are well aware that the Palestinian claims are a hoax. These leaders are either Pavlovian idiots or anti-Semites. In either case, Israel is receiving the brunt of the ills of the world by being pressured to split their tiny land with an entity that is bent on conquering it in stages. It is obvious that such a plan represents a death sentence to the survival of Israel. In fact, solving the Israel/Palestinian conflict will not pacify Islamic extremism in the world; it is just an excuse for continued incitement and a strategic goal of destroying freedom in the Western world and restoring Islamic caliphates globally.
There isn’t room between the River Jordan and the Mediterranean for two viable states to exist and it is a formula for economic decline and worsening warring conflicts. The conflict between the Palestinian authority/Hamas and Israel is not, as all leaders of the world claim as territorial, it is about ideology and the hatred that exists in the Arab world vis-a-vis the Jewish state. No cessation of settlement construction leading to an Islamic Palestinian state will quash the thirst of the Islamic populace to destroy Jewish presence in the Middle East. The latest appeasement speech by Hussein Obama with its declaration that the U.S. will never be at war with Islam, will only strengthen the Islamic terrorists of the world to continue their fanatic and ultimate war against the West and their freedom values for all its citizens.
If settlement activity in Judea and Samaria represents or symbolizes the ills of the world, then everyone should breathe in relief. But unfortunately, all the incessant comings and goings of government leaders from Europe and the U.S. to subjugate Israel into stopping to build extra bathrooms in an established so-called settlement while ignoring real threatening extremist conflicts and warfare in other parts of the globe will not only strengthen and instill more confidence to terrorists, but hasten the prophesied clash of civilizations to take its toll in our times.
OBAMA’S TRUE COLORS
Since this writer has been away for the past two weeks, several events have struck the cord in Israel’s world affairs. First, and foremost, the much anticipated speech delivered by Barack Hussein Obama, the President of the U.S. to the Islamic world. In parallel to his recent greeting of the King of Saudi Arabia with a full bow in April, 2009, he again duplicated this bow through placating words to extremist Islamists of the world by offering a display of absurd apologies. In his clearly anti-Israel discourse, Barak Hussein Obama put the onus of the Middle East conflict on Israel’s unabated building of settlements in Judea and Samaria, discounting the road map which justly demands that the Palestinian authority disband terrorism on its turf and eliminate incitement and hatred of the Jewish state, something they have never bothered doing. Although proclaiming himself a Christian, he confessed his father’s and ancestors’ Islamic roots and his Islamic education in Indonesia. Under Islamic law, Barack Hussein Obama should be well aware that if his father is of Islamic faith, he is automatically of this very faith. It was obvious for all to see and hear in his speech in Cairo, where his mind and soul stand for, especially vis-à-vis the fate of Israel. In addition, by proclaiming that the U.S. will never be at war with the Islamic world, he, in essence, gave free reigns to extreme Islamists to continue their theocratic annihilistic warfare against the West.
The other significant news pertains to the speech delivered by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in response to Barack Hussein Obama’s Cairo rhetoric. To somehow soothe U.S. pressure on Israel, this Prime Minister, although politely allowing the notion of a Palestinian State, albeit demilitarized, stood firm on the settlement issue by not “obeying” U.S.’s directive to stop building for natural growth. Another important and overdue clarification to Obama’s false assertion that Israel’s existence was merely due to Holocaust guilt, in fact ignoring the indisputable Israel’s historic roots going back over 3,000 years, Prime Minister Netanyahu asserted to the world that Israel preceded any other religion in the Land of Israel by recalling the ancient kingdoms of David and Salomon and its undeniable legitimacy as the State of the Jewish people.
It is clear that this President Obama is bent on carving an Islamic Palestinian state in the heart of Israel in order to placate the Islamic world, wrongly surmising that it will bring peace. President Hussein Obama should fare well by rather concentrating on the poor state of the U.S. economy, the turmoil taking place in Afghanistan, the nuclear intentions of N. Korea and Iran, and the famine in the world rather than demanding that Israel stop building extra bathrooms or bedrooms to accommodate for natural growth. However, we hope that this new Netanyahu administration will be wise enough to dismiss the U.S.’s pressure and look to its own interest as a sovereign nation in order to safeguard the safety of its citizens rather than serve as a U.S. vassal and a sacrificial lamb to the world.
THE PAINFUL PLIGHT OF SOME WOMEN
I have written previously about how women are treated in the Islamic world, and especially in Saudi Arabia. However, the subject has come up just recently in a report from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, purporting that a Saudi judge gave his blessings for a man to slap his wife if she spends money wastefully. Such declarations from a Saudi judge carry a lot of weight and are generally respected by the Saudi men. By the way, this judge did not say that if the husband spends the money in this manner that the wife has also the right to slap him.
Just to refresh your minds, women in Saudi Arabia are not allowed to vote by law, and you will not see any women sitting in the kingdom’s cabinet. Moreover, they are not allowed to drive and if they need to travel for one reason or another, they cannot do so unless accompanied by a male guardian. I cannot imagine how any woman could live under these deplorable and backward conditions. To the writer, women in this part of the world are considered like procreating females that are here on earth for the sole purpose of producing children and obeying men. Women are not regarded as thinking and intelligent humans; moreover, I also wonder if these women are deficient in vitamin D since, if they go outside, they have to cover themselves from head to toe. Men are supreme masters over women and women are not allowed to study any subject they desire.
Let’s travel from Saudi Arabia to Afghanistan. Women in this part of the world are treated by men even worse than in any other society in the world, and in addition, not only do they cover themselves from head to toe, but they are also forced to cover their eyes with what is called a “burqa,” depriving them of peripheral vision and causing them to sustain repeated falls. Over 87% of these poor women are illiterate; one in every three Afghan women experience physical, psychological or sexual violence; in fact, marital rape is the rule in a society where sex is a man’s right, not a woman’s. Sadly, the average life expectancy rate for women in this country is 44 years.
The above brutal and uncivilized treatment of women in many parts of the Islamic world is a combination of antiquated culture and distorted religious injection; in fact the Koran states that women are equal to men. So the evil that these women are subjected to is man-made and since these women live in the dark ages, segregated in their homes without any contact with the outside world, it would take generations of courageous women to change this cruel abuse. Fortunately, a new movement of brave Islamist feminists is emerging in many Islamic countries demanding “true” Islam rather than man-made interpretations.
In the meantime, we can only feel pain and sorrow for these women’s dismal plights and injustices. I sincerely hope that more women in these countries where injustices are practiced are supported by other women of the Free World to demand their legitimate equality rights with men so that they can achieve their God-given potential.
