Netanyahu, Obama Schedule Iran Meeting

Netanyahu, Obama schedule Iran meeting

US president, Israeli prime minister to meet in White House on March 5th against backdrop of reports on possible Iran strike; Bibi to arrive in Washington next month for AIPAC conference

I wonder if Obama will actually allow Netanyahu to enter the White House via the front door?

Progressive distaste for Israel is so intense that Obama would rather see Iran get the bomb than for Israel to prevent it.

But, then, what would we expect from an American president that quite literally helped bring the Muslim Brotherhood to power in Egypt?

I wrote a post on Obama and the MB here:

As for Netanyahu, surely there is dislike from some elements. Are they capable of giving the man his due, ever? I suggest this news story, that his January peace offering to the PA was just like Livni's at Annapolis.

It's too bad that the "progressives" you mentioned spend so much time looking at Republicans and pro-Israel types they do not like, rather than stories like the upcoming Harvard conference on how to realize a one state solution.

This is where I find they drop the ball in trying to advance their cause.

I agree.

One of my major criticisms of the progressive movement is that they simply cannot bring themselves to honestly face the rise of political Islam or the influence of anti-Semitic anti-Zionism within their political movement.

Part of what pisses me off about this thing is that I have no great desire to focus on it, either, but feel that I need to so long as they refuse.

It's their neglect of these vital topics that helps drive my concern for them.

Bibi can never be anything but an enemy to the progressives no matter what he does. He is "right wing," after all. Therefore, he represents every evil their minds can summon.

It's a simplistic Manichean equation which serves no real good except to massage their narcissistic sense of superior morality. He's far from perfect...just like every single PM before him.

And Israel has fought no wars under a PM Netanyahu.

Barack Obama on the so-called "Arab Spring" (May 19, 2011):

"There are times in the course of history when the actions of ordinary citizens spark movements for change because they speak to a longing for freedom that has been building up for years. In America, think of the defiance of those patriots in Boston who refused to pay taxes to a King, or the dignity of Rosa Parks as she sat courageously in her seat."

The "Arab Spring" was the brutal rise of political Islam in the Middle East and this is what Obama compares the Civil Rights Movement to?

How's that for a kick in the head to Martin Luther King, Jr.?

The Fundamental Argument:

The progressive movement, and the activist base of the Democratic Party, creates and supports venues that demonize and defame the Jewish state, thereby also creating hatred toward the Jewish people.

Such venues include political journals, such as, but not limited to, Daily Kos, the Huffington Post, and the UK Guardian, numerous universities throughout the United States and Europe, various NGOs with an anti-Israel agenda, and the entire progressive-left movement to boycott, divest from, and sanction (BDS) the Jewish people of the state of Israel.

These venues and organizations do not generally criticize Israel, but dehumanize that country.

For this reason, among others, the progressive movement, and the activist base of the Democratic Party, undermines the well-being and safety of Jews around the world, sometimes resulting in violence toward us.

Therefore, as a matter of common sense and basic human decency, Jews should leave the progressive movement and the Democratic Party as we seek to build alternative political structures that are not home to toxic anti-Semitic anti-Zionists, who would see us robbed of self-determination and self-defense.

What You Can't Discuss:

This is a partial list of taboo topics within progressive-left venues around the Arab-Israel conflict. You cannot discuss this material because it undermines the "Palestinian narrative" of perpetual victimhood. This narrative is a club used by the Arab and Muslim enemies of Israel, along with their western progressive allies, to delegitimize that country in preparation for its eventual dissolution.

1) The centuries of Jewish dhimmitude under the boot of Islamic imperialism.

2) The recent construction of Palestinian identity, its connection to Soviet Cold War politics, and how this is an Arab people with a Roman name that refers to Greeks.

3) Arab and Palestinian Koranically-based racism as the fundamental source of the conflict.

4) The ways in which contemporary progressive anti-Zionism serves as a cloak for gross anti-Semitism.

5) The Palestinian theft and appropriation of Jewish history.

6) "Pallywood."

7) The historical connections between the Nazis, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Palestinian national movement.

8) The perpetual refusal of the Palestinian-Arabs to accept a state for themselves in peace next to the Jewish one.

9) The progressive portrayal of terrorists as those fighting a righteous war of "resistance."

10) The Arab-Palestinian indoctrination of children with Jew hatred.

11) Human rights violations against women, children, and Gay people in the Muslim Middle East.

12) The fact that violent Jihadis call themselves "Jihadis" and claim to love death above life.

This is only a partial list, so please let us know the many more that we are missing.
