Obama's Hypocrisy

Michael L.

The tidbit below was written and published by the Jerusalem Post staff:
US President Barack Obama marked the 75th anniversary of Kristallnacht on Friday, saying that the 1938 pogrom in which Nazis burned synagogues and murdered Jews across Germany serves as an example of what silence in the face of hatred can bring.

"I join millions of people in the United States and around the world in marking the 75th anniversary of the tragedy of Kristallnacht – “the Night of Broken Glass,” Obama stated. 
"On November 9 and 10, 1938, Nazi paramilitaries marched under the cover of darkness throughout the towns and villages of Germany and Austria smashing Jewish storefronts, arresting Jewish men en masse, ransacking Jewish homes, burning books and littering the streets with the parchment of sacred Judaic texts," the US president stated.
The blatant hypocrisy is just mind-numbing.

Ayatollahs and imams throughout the Middle East scream for the blood of the Jews and, yet, Obama and the rest of western political leadership say not a single word.  And, yet, on the 75th anniversary of Kristallnacht Obama gets all teary-eyed.

If Obama actually cared he would denounce current day Koranically-based genocidal hatred toward the Jewish people, but he does not.  It is just soooo easy to condemn the Nazis for what they did 75 years ago.  It's just so convenient and easy, but if Obama had any principles he would speak out against contemporary Jew Hatred, but he does not.  On the contrary.  He promotes it by suggesting that the Jewish people only have certain prescribed places that we may live and that Jewish townships in Judaea (of all places) are "illegitimate," whatever that means, exactly.

What a bunch of hooey.

Is this dork for real?  Does he read his own words?  
If he finds silence in the face of hatred so abhorrent, why is this man so deafeningly silent in the face of incessant Palestinian Arab Jew-hatred?
Precisely.  That's all that I am saying.

Was the speech a mandatory, unpleasant ritual, or did the words come from the heart?
I am going with "mandatory, unpleasant ritual."  The guy has to keep up appearances, after all.

HYPOCRITE.
Well, I am clearly not the only one getting the point.

What a pathetic joke. Obama talks about the consequences of silence in the face of unmitigated hatred. Some folks have no problem about lamenting the fate of a bunch of dead Jews but are prepared to do nothing in the face of unmitigated hatred against Jews today. Yeah, what we need are more memorials commemorating the senseless murders of Jews yesterday. Today? Well, that's another story.
Alright.  You guys get it.

It's around 8:15 AM on Saturday morning and I am still in my jammies.  Today we're going to the Oakland farmers' market where, hopefully, the falafel guy will be around and then we're going to the Grand Lake movie theater to see Thor because Laurie, much to my ongoing amazement, is a huge fan of the superhero genre.

You guys have a great day.

  1. Depending upon how you define 'his base,' there actually certainly is such a thing as bad and evil to them. A number of them certainly consider even two-time Obama voters like myself to be The Bad Guy, at least when I'm voicing dissent or criticism of his policies. The Reagan-style hero worship is quite strong in many of them.

    That all being said, I'm going to have to disagree with your first sentence. There are certainly such people out there, but I doubt there's much overlap with the president's supporters, and he himself certainly believes no such thing.

  2. Fair enough. I'll qualify that. Obama and his base are nihilists who believe in nothing.

    1. I have no quarrel there, aside from perhaps their problem with people like me, but then I suppose that's an internecine issue with no bearing to the main topic at hand.

      Nihilists? If only they had an ethos...

  3. The biggest hypocrisy is the silence everyone is expected to show for the Al-Nakba of the Palestinian people who can not hope for another D-Day landing of US troops to come to their rescue.

    Hypocrites!

    Luckily, not all of us are silent.

    Go Hesbo!

    1. Hey, fanatical far-right racist. I have asked you some questions.

      Including, fortunately for you, even a 'Nakba' one!

      What are your thoughts about the 1969 public hanging of 9 Jews in the middle of Baghdad, for public entertainment?

      I understand you may not have the brainpower to keep up with the rest of us, but it would be appreciated if you'd at least try to make just one non-trollish comment while Mike still tolerates your disgusting presence here.

      "Us?"

      You are Hezbollah?

      Thanks for the confirmation.

    2. Opps, back to the insults you begged everyone else not to fling at you!

      Typical!

      And by the way, you already have your answers to your questions pal, perhaps you might want to try to prime your own dull mind before judging mine.

    3. Well certainly there are parallels between the PLO/Hamas and their ideological forefathers, the SS so if anyone's storming ashore a-la Normandy it's likely to push you all the back to the Reichstag.

      I can appreciate your dour mood though. The French have stood up to both the Iranians and Obama and told them, their deal was junk and to get stuffed.

      "...You see, the strategy for such people, as is the historical case with anti-Semitism, is to load up on accusations to keep the Jew in the dock defending him/herself, to keep all eyes on the supposed misdeeds of Jews and wipe clean the brutality and ugliness of those who wish them harm. ..."

    4. The 1964 PLO Charter
      http://www.un.int/wcm/content/site/palestine/pid/12363

      "Article 19: Zionism is a colonialist movement in its inception, aggressive and expansionist in its goal, racist in its configurations, and fascist in its means and aims. Israel, in its capacity as the spearhead of this destructive movement and as the pillar of colonialism, is a permanent source of tension and turmoil in the Middle East, in particular, and to the international community in general. Because of this, the people of Palestine are worthy of the support and sustenance of the community of nations."


      The 1968 Revised, and Current, PLO Charter
      http://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/plocov.asp

      "Article 19: The partition of Palestine in 1947 and the establishment of the state of Israel are entirely illegal, regardless of the passage of time, because they were contrary to the will of the Palestinian people and to their natural right in their homeland, and inconsistent with the principles embodied in the Charter of the United Nations; particularly the right to self-determination."


      The Fatah Constitution
      http://www.mythsandfacts.org/Conflict/statute-treaties/fateh_constitution.htm

      "Article 19: Armed struggle is a strategy and not a tactic and the Palestinian Arab people's armed revolution is a decisive factor in the liberation fight and in uprooting the Zionist existence, and this struggle will not cease unless the Zionist state is demolished and Palestine is completely liberated."

      THE NAZIS AND THE PALESTINIAN MOVEMENT
      http://vimeo.com/69991225

      "Traces the history of PLO/Fatah, now better known as the 'Palestinian Authority,' the organization that will govern a future Palestinian State. The video shows how PLO/Fatah emerged from the German Nazi Final Solution. Hajj Amin al Husseini, father of the Palestinian Movement, creator of Fatah, and mentor to Yasser Arafat and Mahmoud Abbas, was co-director with Adolf Eichmann of the death camp system that exterminated between 5 and 6 million European Jews in WWII."

      WHAT IS PALESTINE? WHO ARE THE PALESTINIANS?
      http://vimeo.com/77053361

      "The video dispels certain myths concerning the origin of the name 'Palestine' and of the 'Arab Palestinians.' It documents that the 'Arab Palestinians' are in fact mostly from other places, and migrated to what is now Israel at the same time as the Zionist Jews, many of them because of the economic boom that the Zionist Jews produced in what was then British Mandate Palestine. The Zionist Jews did not steal the 'best' land from Arab landowners but in fact purchased abandoned desert and swamp land from absentee Arab landlords who were quite eager to sell. This was explained by Hajj Amin al Husseini himself. Husseini, father of the Palestinian movement, launched his fourth terrorist attack against the Jews of the Mandate in 1936-39. The violence was so great that the British sent a team to investigate. When questioned, Husseini admitted that the Zionist Jews had not stolen anybody's land but in fact had bought it. In fact, Husseini had been among the major consolidators and sellers of land, and growing tremendously rich by it."

    6. TitusRockjaw,

      If one is suffering feeling anger and hate because of one's experiencing the suffering of not having what one wants, lashing out against a group of people who constitute a cultural and ethnic group who, for the past over two thousand years, have been continuously universally libeled, have been repeatedly mass-murdered, have continuously been subjected to having persecutorial unjust laws made against themselves, have been continuously wrongfully viewed as being evil and powerful and oppressive of others, and have been continuously treated with bigoted intransigent contempt, and are currently being universally libeled, are currently under intendedly genocidal siege, are currently being subjected to persecutorial unjust legislative rulings proposed by totalitarian oppressive persecutorial states, are currently wrongfully viewed as being evil and powerful and oppressive of others, and are currently being treated with bigoted intransigent contempt, is not good for one and is not good for others.
