OBAMA: RALLY AGAINST MOST ANTI-JEWISH PRESIDENT EVER
Pamela Hall's coverage of the anti-Obama pro-Israel rally in NYC:
PRESIDENT OBAMA: MOST ANTI-ISRAEL PRESIDENT EVER (vids & pics)
May 20, 2011. Pro Israel supporters gathered at the Israeli Consulate in NYC waving flags and holding signs. The came to oppose Obama’s actions in support of terrorists like Hamas and his betrayal of Israel, the only Democracy in the Middle East.
A number of major Jewish organizations, including the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), RAJE, Jewish Action Alliance, among others, gathered at Second Avenue and 42nd St to protest President Obama’s suicidal call that Israel should retreat to the indefensible 1967 borders.
Obama endorsed Palestinians’ demand for their own state based on the pre-1967 borders. The break with longstanding U.S. policy is a grave danger to Israel.
Democrat NY State Assemblyman, Dov Hikind came out in support of Israel, NOT Obama.
He made some very important statements to the press, very clear criticisms of the Obama betrayal. (see video from approx 00:42 to 5:08 ) Hikind also said that even though he was a Democrat he will not be able to support this President for re-election.
This same NY Fox reporter left Hikind and asked supporter, Hillary Markowitz, “Why not give them back the land so there will be peace?” (was she on automatic pilot?) Markowitz deftly replied (5:22 to approx 5:58), “After the Oslo Accord there were territories that were offered in peace and what did we get? The intifada, where thousands of people were injured and killed by terrorism. For the President, giving back land doesn’t bring peace. You need a Peace Partner who recognizes Israel’s right to exist. Giving back land does nothing…”
Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu are meeting Friday in Washington, DC. He is the most hostile president to Israel ever and this move will only cause more Arab terrorism.
As Prime Minister Netanyahu stated, these borders are “militarily indefensible.” It’s necessary to remember what Abba Eban said when he served as Israel’s Foreign Minister (when he appeared at the United Nations following the Six Day War) he described the fragility of Israel’s 1949-1967 map as Israel’s “Auschwitz” lines ,” said Rabbi Mordechai Tokarsky,Director of RAJE (Russian American Jewish Experience).
ZOA President Morton A. Klein said, “President Obama has severely harmed Israel’s interests and America’s interests. Today, we are ashamed of and frightened by America’s policy regarding Israel. President Obama is the most hostile president to Israel ever. “
NEVER AGAIN!!!
YET, as always, the Neturei Karta didn’t miss a chance to throw Israel ‘under the Bus” (along with President Obama) chanting,“Down, Down the Heretic, Terrorist State of Israel”. Through ignorance or malice, either way it was a sickening display.
They handed me this flyer (click to enlarge to easier reading)
As they waved that Flag of Hatred representing Death to the Jewish State and her People: Disgusting. Foolish. Suicidal.
But, back in front of the Israeli Consulate, thankfully the chants of those who support Freedom and Democracy rang through the air : “We Stand With Israel, Don’t Reward Terrorism and Obama Must Go !”
Am Yisrael Chai!

SPENCER: ABRAHAM FOXMAN TO JEWS: STAY ON THE RESERVATION
Abe Foxman (whom consistently sides with the enemies of the Jewish people) is worse than a kapo. The kapos had the nazi gun to their heads. The traitor, OTOH, has no excuse for putting the Jews on the train. How the membership of the ADL doesn't kick him out on his keyster is beyond me.
Seventy-eight percent of American Jews voted for Barack Obama, and in the wake of Obama’s betrayal of Israel, Abraham Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League is trying to keep them on the reservation.
One wonders why Foxman even bothers with this dangerous fool’s errand. Obama has associated with antisemites and Palestinian jihad sympathizers throughout his political career, such that the Jews and supporters of Israel who voted for him in 2008 should be in full backpedal mode by now, apologizing for their earlier support for this clear enemy of Israel and dedicating themselves to defeating him in 2012.
But apparently Foxman’s pride is more important to him than the survival of Israel as the Jewish homeland and the sole bulwark of freedom and human rights in the Middle East. And so instead of renouncing his earlier support for Obama and taking a stand for Israel when that embattled country needs it the most, he has opted to pretend that Obama’s statement really wasn’t all that bad, and that Jews and all supporters of Israel should relax and keep on loving Barack Hussein Obama.
“I don’t see this as the president throwing Israel under the bus,” Foxman told Greg Sargent of the Washington Post. “He’s saying with `swaps.’ It’s not 1967 borders in the abstract. It’s not an edict. It’s a recommendation of a structure for negotiations.”
Foxman was referring to Obama’s statement that “the borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states.”
Foxman apparently believes that Obama’s statement about “the 1967 lines” is the core of the problem that those who are appalled by Obama’s speech have with it – thus his emphasis that “it’s not an edict,” but simply a “recommendation.” He added that “there is a danger that the 1967 marker, which was always there but has never been stated so directly, may become this year’s settlements issue.” But, he repeated, “it’s not an edict — it’s not what he did with settlements.”
In this Foxman overlooked what most mainstream media reports about Obama’s speech also overlooked: that he wasn’t calling for a return to the pre-Six Day War borders at all, but to new borders “based on the 1967 lines,” and creating “two states, with permanent Palestinian borders with Israel, Jordan, and Egypt, and permanent Israeli borders with Palestine.”
This would be even worse for Israel than a return to the 1967 lines. A Palestinian state that bordered on Israel, Jordan and Egypt while Israel bordered only on Palestine would mean a substantially reduced Israel, having been forced to cede much of its core territory to the Palestinian Arabs in exchange for the chimera of peace with what are in fact implacable and unappeasable jihadis. Abraham Foxman should have learned from the disastrous aftermath of Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza that territorial concessions to the Palestinian jihadis do not bring peace and never will bring peace. Instead, Foxman declared Friday that Obama’s speech “indicated to me that this administration has come a long way in better understanding and appreciating the difficulties facing both parties, but especially Israel in trying to make peace with the Palestinians.”
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu disagreed. Meeting with Obama at the White House on Friday, he emphasized that “while Israel is prepared to make generous compromises for peace … it cannot go back to 1967 lines, because these lines are indefensible.” Netanyahu didn’t say it, but clearly he was not going to accept anything worse than the 1967 lines, either....
