Not surprising. "Obama behind Cameron's attack on Israel, by Pamela Geller in the Daily Caller, July 29:
Speaking in Turkey on Tuesday, British Prime Minister David Cameron slammed Israel and called Gaza a "prison camp." (Apparently Gaza is the first prison camp with luxury shopping malls.) The British Foreign Office has been taking the blame for this betrayal of Israel, but they're claiming they were as surprised as anyone. Now, a high-placed and knowledgeable source has informed me that it was Obama's people who put the slamming of Israel into Cameron's speech.Cameron also said that "the Israeli attack on the Gaza flotilla was completely unacceptable." He didn't mention the ties of the Turkish-backed IHH "activists" on the flotilla to global jihad terror groups. He didn't mention that the "activists" on the Turkish flotilla, the Mavi Marmara, were chanting, "Khaibar, Khaibar, O Jews, the army of Muhammad will return" - a chant that refers to Muhammad's massacre of the Jews at the Arabian oasis of Khaibar.
And now we learn that it was the Obama camp that put Cameron up to this. It comes as no surprise. Obama himself termed Israel's defensive action against the jihad flotilla "tragic."
Just as Blair was Bush's "puppy," Cameron is Obama's lapdog.
Obama's use of Cameron as his sock puppet points once again to Obama's obsession with destroying the Jewish state. Obama is doing nothing less than warring against Israel. When Sean Hannity asked me on his show Tuesday night if I thought Obama was an anti-semite, I said yes. He is. It sounds harsh. But the evidence is clear and extensive: it's all meticulously researched and set out in my book The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War On America, which is just out this week.
In the book I profile Obama's many, many anti-Israel playmates: not just Jeremiah Wright, but also Rashid Khalidi (who is also tied to the jihad flotillas and just named a new one after Obama's book The Audacity of Hope) and William Ayers: in the book also I expose the blatant Judeophobia of the terrorist couple Bill Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn in their book Prairie Fire.
It is increasingly clear that the Islamic anti-Semitism taught in the Koranic classes of Obama's youth in Indonesia and the subsequent adult years he spent with the likes of demagogues and Jew-haters like Wright, Ayers, and Louis Farrakhan have made him the man he is....
The evidence is there. Read it all.

Birds of a feather do have a tendency to stick together...
A nest of vipers...The head viper has to go soon, and take all the little vipers with him...
"....Now, a high-placed and knowledgeable source has informed me that it was Obama's people who put the slamming of Israel into Cameron's speech..."
This is ridiculous. Mr. Cameron is a grown up man and fully responsible for what he says. No matter who writes his speeches, the prime minister of Britain is free to deviate from their content. He is free to say what he wants. Obama is not responsible for Mr. Cameron's speeches.
The idea that American liberal politicians secretly write speeches for the conservative British prime minister is just as improbable as the idea that the CIA set up 9/11. I highly doubt the information from the so called "knowledgeable source".
I also find it hard to "credit" the Obama administration with Cameron's condemnation of Israel.
Cameron is in a coalition government and his hold on power is tenuous at best. How much of what he says must meet the approval of Liberal Democrats?
Then consider the Muslim population of Britain. They appear to have cowed many British leaders.
With the mess Obama made of the "special relationship", why would Cameron feel any great need to sidle up to him?
This speech reflects poorly on David Cameron. The buck stops with him.
Well - how could Hussein nòt be an anti-semite, although of course he would call himself an anti-zionist?
Only someone who agrees with the fare on offer could spend ten years listening to the racist, anti american ravings of the reverend mr. Wright and not be disgusted.
Why would a person who doesn't refuse to visit the church of a preacher whocalls other human beings 'Whitey' in church be outraged by abuse of Israel and of all the mean zionists living there?
This is ridiculous. Mr. Cameron is a grown up man and fully responsible for what he says.
I'm not so sure it's ridiculous...politicians are famous for rationalizing, obfuscating, lying about, or hiding, lots of things they say...'I didn't have sex with that woman'...'No more taxes'...Islam is the religion of peace...'the war on terror is over'...Every one stating those things (and lots more) are grown up men who 'should' be held accountable for their lies, but it hardly ever happens, because the fox is guarding the foxhouse and all the chickens have fled or been eaten...

All of these politicians are responsible for what they say, in particular their rationalizations, lies, half-truths,.... That's common sense and not ridiculous.

Barack Obama, Rashid Khalidi, Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan...
Hatred is one of the crudest and most primitive of human emotions. Even so, there are different hatreds. Hatred as such is not always immoral. Hatred can be righteous, as would be the hatred of the murderer of one’s child. Antisemitic hatred is not righteous: it is the uncomprehending hatred of dumb animals. Anyone who harbors such hatred harbors vileness and is inexorably shaped by, and radiates, that vileness.
What else is there to say?
All of these politicians are responsible for what they say, in particular their rationalizations, lies, half-truths,.... That's common sense and not ridiculous.
They are not responsible if they do not own up to the lies and little or nothing happens to them when they do...
This is responsibility in theory only, not in practice...
Explain one instance of Rasool Obama being 'responsible' for his lies...
I hate to say it, but I'm with PMK and bhigr. If a liberal blogger had indited Bush over something, using the anonymous and unaccountable euphemism - "a high-placed and knowledgeable source" - there would no doubt be a little more circumspection in how we view the story.
It may be true...I certainly wouldn't put it past Obama, but I'm going to need a little more confirmation before I believe it.
Another of Obama's anti-Israel playmates is Rahm Emanuel -- who may be mentioned in Pamela's book (I have not purchased her book yet). Rahm is notorious for being anti-Israel, even though he himself is a Jew. Gee, why would Obama appoint such a man? Yeah, we all know WHY ...
"It is increasingly clear that the Islamic anti-Semitism taught in the Koranic classes of Obama's youth in Indonesia and the subsequent adult years he spent with the likes of demagogues and Jew-haters like Wright, Ayers, and Louis Farrakhan have made him the man he is...."
Oh yes. He's a Muslim. He'll "stand with the Muslims." End of story. And Muslims hate Jews.
Obama also spent a lot of time with Jews during his years in Chicago so it might be possible for paranoids on the other side to say, "see he spent so much time with this or that Jew he must be partial to Israel. I love Pam Geller, but in my opinion she's got a problem with paranoid conspiracy tales.
The British don't need any help from our side of the pond to come up with anti-Israel sentiment. Cameron's own constituencies include people who remember and resent the Zionists' own revolt against the British mandate in the late 1940's; the remnants of a tradition of "genteel" Jew-baiting; people who have drunk long and hard from radical wells (and which will never forgive Israel for having spanked Soviet clients at the height of the Cold War); and an immigrant Muslim population that now outnumbers Jews in the United Kingdom.
I am perfectly aware of the number of anti-Israel (and sometimes anti-Jewish) people around President Obama. My own mind was pretty well made up against the junior senator from a state in which I formerly lived when I learned of his association with Bill Ayres, Bernardine Dohrn, and Jeremiah Wright (and I admit to being someone who thinks that the first two should have been given 9mm cerebral hemorrhages after due process of law); plus his admiration for Saul Alinsky.
It is just that under Obama, official America has lined up with a large portion of world opinion that hates Israel.
Still, I do not think David Cameron needed help from the US to blast Israel.
Isn't there a much simpler explanation for Cameron's recent anti-Israeli remarks about Gaza in Turkey?
Palestinian tycoons with Libya links behind Tory donations
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/conservative/7908076/Palestinian-tycoons-with-Libya-links-behind-Tory-donations.html
The Conservative Party has received a six-figure donation from a company owned by Palestinian millionaires who were developing Libya’s vast offshore oilfields, The Daily Telegraph can disclose [...]
Oh well, just a thought...
Hey you know how people on this board hold me responsible for all things that all Muslims do in the entire world?
Well, does that mean you hold all American JW posters responsible for Obama destroying Israel?
After all, he was freely and fairly elected over there.
Ms Geller don't go off on the deep end. Cameron is not Obama's puppet. I don't think they like each other at all. Cameron is wholly responsible for his own words.
Would you expect anything less since our President is a Muslim?
I see Obama and his new poodle is at it.
Just when people thought it was bad that Blair was Bush's poodle, they are blind to see Cameron is just as bad - or worse than Blair.
I am really beginning to regret voting Tory, atleast Blair before he left actually was cursing "human rights" judges for stopping deportations of Islamic terrorists.
You and your ilk ARE responsible. You and your ilk carry out and celebrate atrocities like 9/11, 3/11, 7/7, Bali, Beslan, Mumbai, Kampala where you deliberately target non-Muslims for murder, and rejoice in the streets when such an atrocity takes place and succeeds. Had there been no Muslims in Britain, the US, Uganda, Spain, India, Russia or on Bali etc, these atrocities would never have taken place. Your cult is vile, misogynistic, uncivilized, barbaric, utterly cruel, heartless, depraved, debauched, backward, and contributes nothing of worth to humanity. It is the most evil cult ever devised in the last 55 or 60 centuries. Nothing, not Nazism, Communism, the Aztec death cult comes anywhere near it for the sheer misery and brutality it has spawned upon humanity. Everyone who has fought against the Jihad over the last 1,400 years has fought for our freedoms, win or lose - the sort of freedoms you wish to take away from us and took away from so many billions of people over those 14 centuries by brute force, and only brute force preserved at least our part of the world from Muslim deprivations. Had Islam never existed, the world would be a far better place. Women would truly be equals everywhere. And as you want to live under Sharia law, Pakistan is the place for you, your entire family, and those who think like you, and not Britain, the US or anywhere else in the infidel world.
You now realise that Brown was perhaps the last current leader of influence who was anything like a friend of Israel. When Brown was voted out rather than defeated by a majority, Israel gained a new enemy, and 59% of the electorate was responsible for that, whether they voted Tory or Lib Dem.
This should have read:

Exactly. We now know that Cameron has emerged as the front runner for the 2010 Dhimmi of the Year award, and is the hot favourite to win it.
