Below, I have quoted only part of an article entitled "Obama Slanders, Abandons Israel" By: Edward Koch, 04/12/2010, the complete article can be read at the following address: http://www.newsmax.com/Koch/barack-obama-israel-jews/2010/04/12/id/355502.
Babylon [H894 Strong's Hebrew Dictionary] - ba^bel (baw-bel'). From H1101; confusion; Babel (that is, Babylon), including Babylonia and the Babylonian empire: - Babel, Babylon.
"I weep today because my president, Barack Obama, in a few weeks has changed the relationship between the U.S. and Israel from that of closest of allies to one in which there is an absence of trust on both sides.
The contrast between how the president and his administration deals with Israel and how it has decided to deal with the Karzai administration in Afghanistan is striking.
The Karzai administration, which operates a corrupt and opium-producing state, refuses to change its corrupt ways — the president’s own brother is believed by many to run the drug traffic taking place in Afghanistan — and shows the utmost contempt for the U.S., is being hailed by the Obama administration as an ally and publicly treated with dignity.
Karzai recently even threatened to join the Taliban if we don’t stop making demands on him.
Nevertheless, Karzai is receiving a gracious thank-you letter from President Obama. The New York Times on April 10 reported, "Mr. Obama had sent Mr. Karzai a thank-you note expressing gratitude to the Afghan leader for dinner in Kabul. ‘It was a respectful letter,’ General Jones said.”
On the other hand, our closest ally, the one with the special relationship with the U.S., has been demeaned and slandered, held responsible by the administration for our problems in Afghanistan and Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East. The plan, I suspect, is to so weaken the resolve of the Jewish state and its leaders that it will be much easier to impose on Israel an American plan to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, leaving Israel’s needs for security and defensible borders in the lurch.
I believe President Obama’s policy is to create a whole new relationship with the Arab states of Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt, and Iraq as a counter to Iran, the Tyrannosaurus Rex of the Muslim world, which we are now prepared to see in possession of a nuclear weapon.
If throwing Israel under the bus is needed to accomplish this alliance, so be it.
I am shocked by the lack of outrage on the part of Israel’s most ardent supporters. The members of AIPAC, the chief pro-Israel lobbying organization in Washington, gave Secretary of State Hillary Clinton a standing ovation after she had carried out the instructions of President Obama and, in a 43-minute telephone call, angrily hectored Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Members of Congress in both the House and Senate have made pitifully weak statements against Obama’s mistreatment of Israel, if they made any at all. The Democratic members, in particular, are weak.
They are simply afraid to criticize President Obama.
What bothers me most of all is the shameful silence and lack of action by community leaders — Jew and Christian. Where are they?
If this were a civil rights matter, the Jews would be in the mall in Washington protesting with and on behalf of our fellow American citizens.
I asked one prominent Jewish leader why no one is preparing a march on Washington similar to the one in 1963 at which I was present and Martin Luther King’s memorable speech was given.
His reply was, “Fifty people might come.” Remember the 1930s? Few stood up. They were silent.
Remember the most insightful statement of one of our greatest teachers, Rabbi Hillel: “If I am not for myself, who is for me? And if I am only for myself, what am I? And if not now, when?”
We have indeed stood up for everyone else. When will we stand up for our brothers and sisters living in the Jewish state of Israel?
If Obama is seeking to build a siege ramp around Israel, the Jews of modern Israel will not commit suicide. They are willing to negotiate a settlement with the Palestinians, but they will not allow themselves to be bullied into following self-destructive policies.
To those who call me an alarmist, I reply that I’ll be happy to apologize if I am proved wrong. But those who stand silently by and watch the Obama administration abandon Israel, to whom will they apologize?"
When will we wake up, open our eyes, and open up our ears to all the injustice and confusion that surrounds us? Or shall we remain blind, deaf, and unwilling to accept that which is right before us? Shall we continue to follow blind leaders? Do you not know it has been stated, “if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.” – Matthew 15:14c MKJV I believe that Barack Obama is leading this country into a ditch as we sit back and blindly follow him! And I am not a racist as the Obama administration and the news-media like to paint anyone that is in opposition to Barack Obama, for I am a brown American citizen, as are both my parents, unlike Mister Obama, and I have no problem presenting my birth certificate to prove it, again unlike Barack Obama! I wonder what else is Barack Obama hiding from the light of day?
In a hope of opening your eyes and mind I remind you of two (2) articles posted prior to Barack Obama becoming the President of the United States of America, both with the title "The Two Faces of Barack Obama," please read them and understand who and what type of person is the leader of this country!
