THE LEGAL BORDERS OF ISRAEL UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW

Here's a video of the conference that took place in San Remo last year marking the 90th anniversary of the San Remo Conference, when the world powers transferred exclusive legal rights to the Land of Israel to the Jewish people. (thanks to Caroline Glick)

AIPAC APPLAUSE-O-METER

Much is being made of the applause that Obama received at AIPAC. I think this needs to be explained,

or at least put into some context.

AIPAC is generally an orgy of applause and cheering for anyone and everyone whoaddresses the

appreciative audience. It is the one place where Jews can congregate and hear wonderful, exultant

praise of Israel (outside of the constant campaign of

anti-Israel propaganda). And the AIPAC rank and file love the respite from the lies and the smears.

They will cheer anything.Seriously.

Mention that grilled chicken will be served in the cafe downstairs and you'll get a huge round of

applause. 25,000 carrots had to be brought to garnish the salads to feed 10,000 attendees.

That, too, gets a hand. This is a happy group.

The response to Obama's appearance was tempered. Obama was not cheered.

Yes, they applauded and they stood when he backpedaled on his Auschwitz borders comment

(he said it, but "I didn't mean that").

But I will tell you that it was nothing like the response that Bush got or Bolton and Cheney received

in previous years. The people never sat down during those rousing speeches.

They raised the roof. Yesterday afternoon Eric Cantor spoke in the afternoon and the hall shook.

Literally, the applause was thunderous, clearly reflecting what AIPAC’s members are really thinking.

Here are videos of Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s incredible

speech to AIPAC: Part 1 and Part 2.

The hall did not shake for Obama. There was no huge outpouring of support.

When he walked back some of his scary rhetoric, they appreciated it.

Look, the guy next to me shushed me when he didn't like my remarks, so I shushed him

every time he applauded. It was like that. It takes some people a very long time to figure out that

they have been kicked in the teeth, and that they are getting kicked in the teeth. It seems impossible,

but Jews simply do not comprehend what is being done to them, and what is being done to Israel.

It is as though they are liberals/socialists first,Democrats second .... and Jews dead last.

German Jews thought themselves Germans before Jews .....In a world that did not perceive Jews as

Jews, first, last and always, this might not be such a major intellectual failing, but in this world, it is

suicidal.

They simply do not comprehend what they see, when they look down and see someone sawing off

their leg with a dull saw.

UPDATE: Case in point: the functionary Howard Kohr is getting a standing ovation as we speak.

Need I say more? When the janitor comes in to clear the tables, he'll get a standing ovation, too.

PAMELA GELLER, WND: OBAMA GASLIGHTS THE JEWS

Heads up, Atlas readers. I will be writing a regular column for WND.

Check out my first in my weekly column for WND:

Obama gaslights the Jews by Pamela Geller, WND

Barack Obama came to American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, on Sunday

and declared that the U.S.-Israel relationship was ironclad. I was there and heard him

say it, but it did not reassure me. I am dubious about Obama's promise. After all, he

caused fright and worry amongst freedom-loving peoples when he endorsed the 1967

Auschwitz borders for Israel, and he did not dispel that concern at AIPAC.

Obama's idea of ironclad is sketchy at best. In 2008, he vowed at the AIPAC conference that

Jerusalem would remain the undivided capital of the state of Israel if he was elected. He walked

back on that promise the next day. In 2009 at Cairo University (with the Muslim Brotherhood

in attendance at his invitation), he called on Israel to stop all the settlement activity, and created

a crisis in U.S.-Israel relations when Israel approved 1,600 houses in Jerusalem.

Obama was at the 2007 AIPAC conference also. Having researched and documented his

background and history of Jew-hating friends and alliances, I was embarrassed by the panting

and fawning over him, particularly after he had just said, "Nobody is suffering more than the

Palestinian people." Obama's longtime anti-Israel allegiances and radical connections were

deeply disturbing and meticulously documented in my book,

"The Post American Presidency.

Nonetheless, when Obama was introduced Sunday, he was given a standing ovation. One has

to wonder: If Hitler came to AIPAC before the world became aware of the Holocaust, would he,

too, have received a standing ovation out of respect for a head of state? No, I am not equating

Obama to Hitler. What I am saying is that not every head of state is worthy of respect just

because he is a head of state. And while many did not stand up, the fact is that many did

because they wanted to be reassured. Could we come any cheaper?

Obama fell off the teleprompter when he was describing Iran as wanting to wipe Israel

"off the face of the map." If Sarah Palin had said that they wanted to wipe Israel "off the

face of the map," "face of the map" would be the new bumper sticker and the crawl at CNN

all through the news cycle.
