Perilous Times

Mike L.

This was put together by the Republican Jewish Coalition so it is, pretty much by definition, a work of propaganda.

Nonetheless, it is far less egregious than some other anti-Obama videos that I have come across mainly because it does not insult the intelligence of its audience by overstating its case.

Unless you're an Obama supporter who is entirely in the bag for this president it is certainly worth the ten minutes to give it a look-see because most of what it has to say is, in my opinion, right on the money.

Obama is simply not a friend to the Jewish State of Israel. No president who supports the Muslim Brotherhood, or the rise of political Islam throughout the Middle East, can possibly be such a friend.

This is true on its face.

I posted this when it was released. From memory Shirlee sent it to me.

I looked at it from a non-partisan perspective once removed and saw it as an honest statement of its case from one side of politics on a critical issue in a critical election.

If there was anything like it from the Democrats I would post it too. Ten minutes on why Obama is the best friend Israel ever had.

Followed by ten minutes of jokes.

Is there anything in the RJC video you can fault?

It all happened. The public rudeness and insults at the Israeli PM who incidentally has a much better chance of being affirmed in the job soon.
The complete crap diplomacy. The front line WH guy who couldn't remember what the party line was on the capital of Israel.

It all happened and more

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.
