Congressman Peter King on House Democrats: "I hope they put our relationship with Israel above their relationship with Obama"

A tough choice for House Democrats, made necessary by Obama's jihad-enabling anti-Israel policies. And it looks as if they're making the wrong choice. "'King' of Israel: Rep. rips Bam, UN flotilla probe," by Rebecca Harshbarger and S.A. Miller in the New York Post, June 14:

Rep. Pete King says President Obama's weak Mideast policy is forcing House Democrats to make the difficult choice of either supporting Obama or supporting Israel.

"I hope they put our relationship with Israel above their relationship with Obama," King (R-LI) said yesterday.

Flanked by Jewish community leaders at a press conference across from the United Nations, King rallied support for his legislation calling for the US to quit the UN Human Rights Council and its probe of the Israeli raid May 31 on a flotilla off Gaza.

Not a single House Democrat, including the entire New York City delegation, would sign on to that resolution introduced by King last week....

"When the president goes abroad and apologizes for America, he is not making it clear that we are on Israel's side," King said. "I am concerned that not a single Democrat will go on the bill unless we take out the language about the UN."

King has said that voicing support for Israel without taking on anti-Israeli forces within the US would be "meaningless, feel-good legislation."...

Indeed.

Now the true colors of Democrats are showing - whether they are for freedom or oppression!!! Dhimmicrats pander to Muslims for votes - a situation similar to Indian politics where most politicians follow the policy of appeasement to get Muslim vote bank in their favor. When will these politicians realize they on a suicidal course. It's amazing, American Jews were in large part responsible for the election of BHO(many may not agree with me)and they are seeing true BHO vis-a-vis Israel policy!!!

It is no longer possible to be pro-Israel and pro-Obama. One has to choose between these two.

It will be particularly interesting to see how the Jewish-American vote goes this November and in 2012. Only Jewish-Americans who are fools or are anti-Israel (which itself is foolish for any American, Jew or non-Jew) will vote in knee-jerk Democratic fashion. Arguably the greatest friend Israel has on the planet right now is the Republican Party of the United States of America.

King has the right idea, but he is throwing himself against an ocean of brown stuff...The Democrats are covered with it...Full of it...Rasool is a stealth jihadist who will 'deal' with Israel...Who is this upstart anyway? Two years ago he was a nobody and now he's going to 'deal' with Israel?
Why do the paid lackeys in Wash go along with this crapola...Don't they know that once he is declared Caliph, they will be the first to go to the dungeons...And these people are supposed to be smart?

The same could be said for some other countries. When Barack Obama sent the bust of Winston Churchill packing -- was it to the British Embassy, or was it all the way back to London? -- he made an astonishing statement about his view, or possibly that of his wife, of Great Britain and the man who, as Isaiah Berlin said, "saved us."

Israel is the resurrected commonwealth of the most persecuted tribe in human history. How it was resurrected, with what amazing labors and sacrifices, is a tale that, as the late Indro Montanelli wrote, constitutes "the best thing, perhaps the only good thing, to come out of the twentieth century." If Barack Obama, child of the last decades of that century, born too late to know, apparently, that the "Palestinian people" were invented after the Six-Day War to re-present the Jihad against Israel as merely a "conflict between two tiny peoples," if he further does not know (how many do?) that 90% of the land in Israel, as in Mandatory Palestine before it, and as under Turkish rule for more than four hundred years before that, was not privately-owned but was state and waste lands, and if he fails to grasp that the Arabs have 22 states, and a thousand times the territory, and the most incredible unearned wealth in human history from oil and gas revenues, and furthermore are dedicated to pursuing the Jihad against the Infidel nation-state of Israel forever, by whatever means prove available and effective, and no further surrenders of territory or implied rights by Israel will modify that, but will only make things worse -- if, as I say, he remains impervious to this reality, then he really must be ignored. For those making American foreign policy have to understand that the connection between the war made on the Infidel nation-state of Israel, and the war being made on those Infidel nation-states in Western Europe where their non-Muslims are waking up to the meaning, and menace, of Islam, are the same war, prompted by the same texts (Qur'an, Hadith, Sira), the same view of the universe, the same uncompromsing division of humanity between Believer and Unbeliever, Muslim and Infidel.

And Obama and those upon whose counsel he relies have so far failed to recognize this -- which is why they are still in Afghanistan, and still wooing Pakisetan, and still doling out vast sums to Egypt, Jordan, the "Palestinians" (another $400 million which Obama, without so much as a congressional by-your-leave, promised just a few days ago to sly plausible treacherous Slow Jihadist to Mahmoud "No-One-Here-But-Us-Accountants" Abbas -- they not be trusted to properly protect Isareel, and make the combatting of antisemitism, though antisemitism, which is reinforced by, and in turn reinforces, anti-Israel sentiment, all over the world, based on so many falsities about the history of that part of the Ottoman Empire that became Mandatory Palestine and then Israel, that one hardly knows where to begin to sweep back the tide -- but sweep it back we all must, tirelessly -- intelligent and well-informed people must (and must do so, often, even with those who complacently assure one and all, and themselves too, that "I am pro-Israel but...." with that "but" justifying a cascading niagara of demonstrated ignorances and idiocies).

Furthermore, Obama and Clinton and company are ill-prepared to make common cause with the most intelligent and aware people in Western Europe, that is those who now have come to recognize the meaning and the menace of Islam to their own legal and political institutions, and to the survival of their own freedoms, their own social understandings and arrangements, not to mention the incredible econoomc cost of supporting millions of Muslim immigrants who take full advantage, and then fiddle even more more (it is their right, it is their duty, it is helping themselves to the Jizyah before it's quite time, because Allah, their imams tell them, regards this as only just), from the generous welfare states of Western Europe, and their Infidel taxpayers. And while doing this, while on the dole, or while filling up the prisons, these Muslims cannot possibly be expected to offer genuine loyalty to Infidels or to their nations. From the point of view of Islam -- can't anyone in our government begin to study Islam? can't anyone get away from relying on the army of apologists, both Muslim and non-Muslim, for Islam, such as the myrmidons of MESA NOSTRA (which google), the assorted espositos and armstrongs, or the various Muslims now serving as plausible "advisers" to this or that unwary bureaucrat or official who prides himself on that Muslim adviser, and on getting the inside dope, when he is merely demonstrating that he is that inside dope.

Oh, it's Israel all right. But it is also much more than Israel that is at stake.

"if he further does not know (how many do?) that 90% of the land in Israel, as in Mandatory Palestine before it, and as under Turkish rule for more than four hundred years before that, was not privately-owned but was state and waste lands,"

If anyone wonders why the Turks helped out during the recent flotilla con, this is it. Turkey wants to reclaim its land from the infidel Israelis! Wonder where that leaves the Fakestinians? Will the world care if they have to liberate Gaza from the Turks?

tanstaafl said: "Turkey wants to reclaim its land from the infidel Israelis!"

Yes, and the various Arab states in the area would do well to remember that most of them were part of the Turkish Empire prior to WW1: Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Yemen, and coastal Arabia (including Mecca and Medina). They should be very worried by Turkey's bid for a leadership role in the anti-Israel jihad.

"Not a single House Democrat, including the entire New York City delegation, would sign on to that resolution introduced by King last week...."

And what was the level of support among NYC Jews for this NYC delegation? Very high, I'd wager. How strange that Jews, who show such brilliance in so many areas, should be so dim in their politics.

"Arguably the greatest friend Israel has on the planet right now is the Republican Party of the United States of America."

I agree, Wellington.

NOBAMA 2012!

The root cause of all this horse flossum is false religion on all sides. That being said, I find it very difficult to work up a sweat for the Jews who by a 78% margin voted for the 'Tan Man'. Frankly, they are reaping what they have sown.

I don't believe that anyone should have to choose between 'Obama' and 'Israel'. Obama hasn't gotten it right yet but the Jews have brought much of their trouble on themselves. American Jews have been politically liberal for generations. They have worked for liberal causes which have undermined traditional American values. It is my opinion that they did/do this in an effort to protect their 'niche' in society, rather than seek justice for their neighbor. In others words, self seeking.

Be that as it may, Americans should seek the truth and attempt to act in accordance with it. We should truly want to know the reality of what is going on and seek to do what is right, true and just. We should realize that the Muslim world want to make us all slaves of a false religion which sees everything thru the distorted lens of the Koran and takes all its followers to the pit of Hell.

Each day a new piece of the Obama puzzle falls into place. See how deep Obama's rabbit hole goes with the Historyscoper's free Obamascope, a road map of his life and career filled with hyperlinks:

And let us not forget the inimitable Chucky Schumer - such a "smott" boy. Nelson and Landrieu get wads of cash for their states in return for supporting Hussein's legislative agenda; they are very cunning high class prostitutes. But "cheap date" Schumer gives his vote away without bringing a dime to his struggling state which exports far more in tax revenues than it gets back. And Chucky is incapable of squashing Holder's plan to ruin the economy of downtown NYC by bringing KSM and company here for trial. I bet that Chucky also thinks desecrating the WTC site with a giant mosque is also just peachy keen. And where is Chucky regarding Hussein's anti-Israel policy? In hiding, of course. He might occasionally crawl out of his hole to do a little political grandstanding before crawling back in. If he wanted to do something effective he would with his usual publicity seeking fanfare march up to the White House and announce that he would not push or even support any part of the Democrat legislative agenda until Hussein retreats from his anti Israel stance. Instead, Chucky is busy concocting a new amnesty scheme so he can do to America what the exalted One is doing to Israel. And yet, dumb New Yorkers including doofus Jews are poised to re-elect this jerk.
