Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Video: Spencer on Newsmax TV — Obama has sided with the “Palestinians”

Jul 31, 2014 7:06 am By Robert Spencer

Here is the Newsmax story on my recent appearance on Newsmax TV discussing the jihad against Israel. And in case you missed it, the video is above.

“Jihad Watch’s Spencer: Obama Has Sided With Palestinians,” by Sean Piccoli, Newsmax, July 29, 2014:

Israel continues to wage war in Gaza believing it can no longer count on America’s help to curb the military threat from Palestinian terrorists, a Mideast observer told Newsmax TV on Tuesday.

“I think the Israelis see the writing on the wall — that they’re on their own in this conflict and that the United States has essentially switched sides,” Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch, told “MidPoint” host Ed Berliner.

Israeli leaders are resisting U.S. pressure for an unconditional humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza because they fear President Barack Obama wants hostilities to end on terms that are favorable to the militant group Hamas, said Spencer, author of “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam.”

And they’re right to be worried, said Spencer, citing a ceasefire proposal from Secretary of State John Kerry that Israel quickly rejected and which other observers have criticized.

Spencer said the Kerry deal would have required Israel “to accept a ceasefire that would grant Hamas all of its demands: access to a seaport; the opening up of the border crossings, which would make it very easy for them to get weapons; and the opening up of funding channels with Qatar.

“All these things in return for absolutely nothing on the Israelis’ side,” said Spencer.

Supporters of Israel are left to conclude that “Obama and Kerry seem to be absolutely, 100 percent on the side of the Palestinian Authority,” said Spencer, referring to the government based in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Authority formed a unity government with Hamas, which runs Gaza, in June. But Spencer said the Authority is either unwilling or unable stop its new political partner — which doesn’t recognize Israel’s right to exist — from firing rockets at Israeli cities.

Spencer said Obama has been solicitous toward organized Islamic radicals throughout the Middle East, including Hamas, on the mistaken theory that they can be appeased.

“They don’t think, ‘Oh, we need to show goodwill to him,’ ” Spencer said of Hamas and other militant groups. “Instead, they think he is weak and to be taken advantage of, and thus that explains their aggression and their hostility toward Obama despite the fact that he’s been so completely pliable and willing to grant their desires.”

    In Canada the Liberal Party Leader Justin Trudeau has also made the decision to support radical Islam, as per this video:

    Don’t think so. The US is still supporting Israel in the ways that count–from ammunition to taxpayer money to keep Iron Dome running. The rest is all talk.

    HOWEVER, the future looks bleak for the Israel supporters in the US: the young and the Hispanics care very little for Israel.

    Conspicuously, Israel seem to be the only country that has a leader acting in the interest of its own people. Camoran, Obama, capitulate to islam at every opportunity. I hope Bibi this time you will finish the job, please ignore Obama, the American people are behind you, our leader is not

      Obama is a Muslim who does not deny that fact. Obama’s education was paid for by wealthy people from the middle east, Obama says that the US is no longer a Christian nation, and also that the War Measures Act has replaced the Constitution. Obama has no alternative but to kiss radical Islam ass as they are his buddies. I can hardly believe that US citizens ever voted for a Muslim (twice).

        Obama the Muslim! LOL. Look at the crowd here. My, oh my. What an educated bunch of readers. Love it.

        Obama the Muslim responsible for the death of tens of thousands or more Muslims. The Muslim who drones other Muslims, assassinates them, kills their children (al-Awlaki’s son).

        Tell me, Oh Bright One. Is he shia or sunni? He seems fond of killing both equally. Perhaps he’s an angry Ahmadi!

    Your hated of Muslims has completely blinded you, Robert. As a fellow Catholic, I’m appalled and sickened by your total one-sidedness and blind support of Israel. You’re on the wrong side of the moral issue.

    Someday you will see it and be ashamed. As a long time reader, I will stop reading and posting here. In fact, your total lack of any moral clarity whatsoever is and will damage your work and reputation, as if you had any other than among the hard-core right wing nutjobs, as a commentator on Islam. I began reading your work a decade ago. It was good. Now, it’s just absurd, e.g., did Muhammad really exist.

      It is no secet that Jews are the most hated people in the world as a result of their usery and looking down on other cultures. DESPITE THAT FACT; I fully support Israel fighting back against Islamic terrorists like Hamas.

      Couldn’t care less. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. If you cannot understand that what Robert was speaking was the truth you have drunk deeply of the MSM and Left-wing Kool-Aid. Your absence will not be keenly felt.

    Robert Spencer, you did an excellent job of answering these questions, truthfully and honestly, and without any equivocating. Thank you for that wonderful interview!

    Hamas is now an official part of the Gazan government, and lobs missiles at a neighboring country. That’s declaring war. The war should now be fought until it’s won, and all the ‘Gazan citizens’ (Egyptians) are sent back to Egypt permanently.

    Then Israel should repeat that in JUDEA and HEBRON (aka ‘the west bank’).

    Given Obama’s relationship with Jeremiah Wright, Valerie Jarret, et. al. why would anyone question the idea that Obama is a Jew-hating left-wing radical.
