A newly released video disseminated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) should blow a giant hole in the fantasy the Obama administration refers to as their Muslim “outreach” initiative.
Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi is shown in 2010 delivering an anti-Semitic diatribe, during which he referred to “the Zionists” as “bloodsuckers,” “warmongers,” and “the descendants of apes and pigs.” He also called for “military resistance within the land of Palestine,” further noting that the PLO “was created by the Zionist and American enemies.”...There is something deeply, deeply wrong with Obama's foreign policy.
Beginning January 22, Egypt is scheduled to receive the first installment of 10 F-16 fighter jets and 200 Abrams tanks from the United States as part of a $213 million foreign aid package originally promised to former president Hosni Mubarak.
Morsi hasn’t cancelled it. Neither has the Obama administration, despite Mubarak’s ouster. Such seeming indifference by Obama has engendered increasing criticism, with the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) circulating a petition that has garnered more than 150,000 signatures.
Here we have a president of the United States who helped usher a theocratic-fascist organization into power in Egypt.
Egyptian president Morsi refers specifically to the United States as an enemy, yet we are sending him 200 Abrams tanks?
As far as I am concerned this is treasonous.
This strikes me as a particularly brilliant idea.

Said no one, ever.
The problem is that the Obama administration and its followers do not recognize political Islam as an actual movement, which is rather odd given how much attention the "Arab Spring" got.
DeleteThis represents a huge failure of American politics, particularly of the progressive-left variety, as well as a terrible failure of the media in this country.
{Hardly surprising, I suppose.}
It's a true abdication of responsibility and a true betrayal of Jews, women, and Gays.
There can be no doubt at this point that Barack Obama is in the bag for political Islam, the only question is why?
Randall thinks it's because he's a crypto-Islamist whereas I merely think that he's allowed his education to indoctrinate him rather than it encouraging an opening of thought.
I just don't think the guy's all that bright, really. He's a good politician, for sure, but clearly unable to think past the presumptions of his mentors.
What a shame.
Nothing crypto about it IMO. But In any event, Obama's personal stance is less important than that of the elites who set our policy. As Foreign Confidential points out:
Delete"Kosovo, which was carved out of Europe's heart by a savage NATO bombing campaign, does not recognize Israel. Instead, Kosovo recognizes "Palestine." Israel does not recognize Kosovo; nor should Israel recognize the extremist enclave, in this reporter's opinion. Kosovo is a menace--made in the West.
"Carter gave the world Islamist Iran; Reagan, Islamist Afghanistan; Clinton, Islamic/pro-Islamist Kosovo; George W. Bush, Islamist Iraq, Gaza, and Turkey; Obama, Islamist Libya and Egypt. Soon, it seems, he will also be responsible for creating an Islamist Syria."
It's no accident.
Randall,
Deleteif we assume that you are correct, what is the motive?
Why would the American power establishment have a reason to support political Islam?
The motive/cause?
DeleteAnti-Jewish bigotry (and greed and power-lust). A snowball effect (of anti-Jewish bigotry). Anti-Jewish bigotry (particularly as it exists among the 'governing classes' in Western societies, including, most importantly, among the 'governing class' in the U.S.) is hugely underestimated by Jewish people and by other people who are not Jewish and who don't hold severe anti-Jewish bigotry. Why did the U.S. establishment support the Nazi regime of Germany in the 1930's? Anti-Jewish bigotry -- and greed and power-lust -- and, as a result of that, and as part of that, insanity. The motive/cause of what's being done by the 'governing class' is insanity as a result of anti-Jewish bigotry -- and insanity as part of anti-Jewish bigotry. Belief in a bigoted false anti-Jewish narrative (the Jews are powerful and malevolent and selfish and clannish and detrimental to "us" and to all other people; the Jews stole the land of "the Palestinians" [the 'Palestinian' Arabs] and are persecuting "the Palestinians" [the 'Palestinian' Arabs] and are causing all of the problems in the world). Stop the belief in that bigoted false anti-Jewish narrative! Stop it particularly among the majority of people in the U.S.! That's the solution. That's the only solution. It's not difficult. It's simple. It's easy. It just needs to be done. That's all. All that needs to be done is to tell the truth -- vigorously, continuously. All that needs to be done is to vigorously, continuously, tell the facts of the past approximately 90-year history and current reality the situation that Israel is in (and also communicate the reality of Israeli society and culture). What most importantly needs to be done is for Israeli leaders -- leaders of the government of Israel -- and, most importantly, the Prime Minister of Israel -- to tell the facts of the past approximately 90-year history and current reality of the situation that Israel is in. And they need to tell those facts to the Israeli people. That is crucially important. Why is this -- all of this -- so difficult for Jewish people to understand? What is wrong with Jewish people? A complex of unwholesome mental factors. But that's not important. It's neither here nor there. It just needs to stop. Just do what's right. Think. Be intelligent. Comprehend what's happening. Be mindful. Do what's skillful. Tell the truth to the American people. Then the American people will force the members of the U.S. government to do what's right. The members of the U.S. government will be forced to do what's right. The U.S. government is a reflection of the American people. The actions of the U.S. government are dependent on the public opinion of the American people. And the public opinion of the American people is shaped by propaganda campaigns directed toward them by members of the 'governing class' in the U.S (the State Department, etc.) and (involved with that) the owners of, and the controllers of, the U.S. mass media. It's not quite a completely concerted effort, but it's what happens. It's what's done -- as a result of anti-Jewish bigotry -- and as a result of greed and power-lust. What needs to be done is for Jewish people to start telling the truth to the American public.
Their motives don't matter. Nor are they easily sussed out since they work in private. But their intentions are bad, as we know from the last several decades of history.
DeleteThis is insane.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that's the problem.
Insanity.
Does he really think that the Brotherhood will have the slightest respect for him or the US for this?
They are laughing in their beards like drains.
It's more of that 73rd Dimensional Chess stuff we can't ever hope to grasp.
DeleteWe clearly need those smart 'progressives' to clear up these misunderstandamalisms fer us. A'yup.
