Painting Obama as an enemy will hurt Israel badly

In light of the public brawling between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Barack Obama, we can expect to start seeing graffiti saying things like “America, get out,” “Obama is an Arab” and “Neither a broker nor honest.”

In the new Israeli debate, America is slowly beginning to be perceived as an enemy – and the dispute is going personal: Our prime minister versus their president. Yesterday, he simply demanded that Israel adopt the two-state solution, then called for a freeze on construction in the settlements (without agreeing to settle for “only” the completion of projects already underway), and now he wants to divide Jerusalem. Not Netanyahu – Obama. [continued...]

First Sharon told US Jews: mind your own business, Americans. Now Bibbi tells them to become Israel’s propaganda Fifth Column for Greater Israel against Obama, the president most of them voted for knowing his Two States view. US Jews are as American as apple pie; for them Israel is nice to visit but not to live. It would be a crime to instigate an American Krystalnacht by exploiting their affection for Israel demanding they serve greedy chutzpah.

It is much, much too late to stop, let along rectify Israel’s war crimes. Obama reminds me of the famous King Canute who tried to command the high tide to stop coming.

Teodoru: I cannot understand what you mean by “It would be a crime to instigate an American Krystalnacht [sic] by exploiting their affection for Israel demanding they serve greedy chutzpah.” The Kristallnacht was a Nazi response to the killing of a member of the German embassy in Paris by a Jew.

Americans are great scapegoaterers who can never face their fault in their fate. Neocons made it seem that last 8 yrs. were under their guidance and insisted that they alone speak for US Jews; their operative term was: IF IT’S GOOD FOR ISRAEL IT *MUST* BE GOOD FOR US. We are losing our war on Islam and no one can understand why we went there in the first place other than for Israeli interests. Gaza shows again what Zionazis we support. And a few American Jews are censoring free speech in America screaming “anti-Semite.” Israeli officials, like Ambassador to US, hold US and Israeli passports. Recalling European reaction to “Fifth Column” charge, I’m sure you can see why we are at 20 minutes to Krystalnacht. I think the items below are signs of playing with fire:
