Barack Hussein Obama vs Israel
"While it condemns Israel, the administration continues to ignore a host of Palestinian provocations that undermine prospects for peace in the region. Where is the outrage when top Fatah officials call for riots on the Temple Mount? Why does the Palestinian Authority get a pass when it holds a ceremony glorifying the woman responsible for one of the deadliest terror attack in Israel's history?"

Obama Hammering Israel to Prevent Attack on Iran
The Obama administration failed to arrest Iran's race for a nuclear weapon in months of diplomacy and was unable to persuade Russia or China to join stiff sanctions. Yet the US president is flat against any military action against Iran's nuclear installations, and will stop at nothing to stop Israel taking matters in its own hands. It is hammering Jerusalem with the bluntest instruments in its diplomatic armory to a degree unheard of against a friendly government.
China Accuses US of Protectionism
Obama Moves From Engaging to Containing Iran

Daniel Greenfield's essay is a must-read. Greenfield, a New York-based freelance writer, is one of the brightest, most effective advocates for Israel. He writes:
The manifold organs of the ObamaMedia are abuzz with outrage over what they are calling Israel's "insult" to the United States. But what was the nature of this awful and outrageous insult? Did Israeli officials pull off V.P. Biden's rug to show off his bald head underneath. Did they ask him why the suit of his pants is so shiny. Did they make him sit at the kiddie table?
More to the point did Israeli TV air calls for a Jihad against America, as Palestinian Arab TV did? Did Israel name a square after the murderer of an American photographer, as the Palestinian Authority did? Did an Israeli Anchorman do a skit in blackface during Obama's visit, as a Turkish anchorman did during Obama's visit to Turkey? Are Israeli religious institutions issuing Fatwahs against America, as Al Azhar University, which Obama visited and spoke at, has done? Are Israeli leaders funding terrorism against America, as the Saudi King, before whom Obama bowed, does?
No, none of those incidents were described as insults. Nothing that Muslim countries did to mock, humiliate and murder Americans were even noticed at all. None of them produced furious condemnations from the White House or two hours of Hillary Clinton screeching on the phone at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. So what did Israel do that was so awful, so horrible and terrible? It built houses. Yes, civilian houses. Not army bases or nuclear missiles or walls. Houses.
Israel approved a construction project to build housing for its own people, in its own capitol city, Jerusalem. Some of the housing will be built in the Shimon HaTzadik neighborhood, situated around the grave of Shimon the Righteous, a Jewish religious figure famed for rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. A neighborhood where Jews have lived for over a century. As well as Ramat Shlomo, a thriving neighborhood with thousands of Jewish families living in it.
The Obama Administration's objections to Jews living in Jerusalem are purely racial and religious. If Israel were approving a construction project to build housing for Arab Muslim citizens of Israel, Biden, Hillary and their media troupe wouldn't be screeching about it to the high heavens. It is only because Jews are to live there, that they have a problem with it. Their objections therefore are purely based on race and religion-- and completely racist.
But this is hardly the first time that Muslims and their Western appeasers have tried to drive the Jews out of Jerusalem, or the Shimon HaTzaddik neighborhood in particular.
EXTRA! Eric Cantor Says White House 'Irresponsible' on Israel
Big Anti-Obama Protests Planned
Obama's Indonesian Muslim cousin has plenty of praise and friendly advice for "Barry" ahead of his scheduled visit to the world's most populous Muslim country. Click here for the interview.
As reported here, Michael Oren, Israel's ambassador to the United States, was "summoned" to the State Department last Friday for a meeting--a "summoning"--with Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg. The summons, which is a serious diplomatic slap, came as a result of the controversy sparked by Israel's announcement of new apartment construction in eastern Jerusalem during last week's visit by U.S. Vice President Joe Biden.
The Obama administration has used the controversy as a pretext to pressure Israel into making new concessions to the Palestinians and, also, as China Confidential has learned, to extract a pledge from the Jewish State that it will not attack Iran to stop the Islamist nation from acquiring atomic arms.
The administration is resigned to living with and containing a nuclear-armed Iran. Nobody in Washington any longer believes that sanctions, even if imposed, can stop Tehran's atomic advance; and the administration has removed the military option.
"It wasn’t a meeting," Oren told the Washington Jewish Week on Sunday night. "It was a summoning. I was told it was the first time [italics added for emphasis] that any ambassador had been summoned at that level."
Oren said he is "working hard to avert an escalation. We’re working very hard to get back to what we need to do to make peace and stop Iran from making the bomb. We have apologized [to the U.S.] publicly and privately profusely."
Israeli media reported Monday that in a conference call Saturday night with other Israeli diplomats, Oren said U.S.-Israel relations had reached the lowest level in 35-years.
From India to Israel, Obama excels at alienating and punishing allies.
Fear, led by never-ending bad news, is turning physical gold into the currency of choice for big banks.
But China now chooses to buy gold mines--producing mines with significant development potential--instead of investing more in gold bullion.
China Confidential analysts say: go for GO (gold and oil). The global financial crisis is far from finished; the best economies are fundamentally unsound; and war with Iran, which is coming, will drive oil prices through the roof.
China will never support strict sanctions on Iran.
There is no diplomatic solution....
Europe is doomed.
Obama is openly turning against Israel, according to the Wall Street Journal, in keeping with a pattern of squeezing allies. Read all about it here.
The Obama administration's relationship with rising China is going from bad to worse. Click here for the story.
Beijing is becoming more assertive and hostile toward the United States, at a time when the U.S. needs China's cooperation concerning nuclear-arming Iran.
U.S. foreign policy is a complete mess. Amateurishness (regarding China and Russia), appeasement (of Islamist Iran and Islamism in general), apologies (to adversaries), arrogance (toward allies) ... a disastrous mix.
Having allowed Iran to move closer than ever to having nuclear weapons, the Islamist-appeasing Obama administration appears to be quietly preparing to "live with but never accept" a nuclear-armed mullahocracy--the notorious Brzezinski formula. Containment has reportedly replaced engagement as the new administration buzzword. Click here for the story.
The notion that the United States can contain Iran is just as stupid and suicidal as the idea that it can be appeased (engaged). Like Nazi Germany, Islamonazi Iran can neither be appeased nor contained. It must be defeated; the threat must be ended before it ends the U.S. and Israel, before Iran can achieve its long-term aim of bringing about "a world without America and Zionism."
There can be no deterrent against an anonymous nuclear attack by Iran, except, arguably, assured destruction of Iran--automatic obliteration without hesitation or investigation of the origin of the blast. The best defense is an offense--take out the clerical fascist regime before it takes us out. End the threat now by any and all necessary means.
