Arab Spring = Jewish Fall?

Can someone explain something to me?

What is it about that tough, persistent tribe that makes them the go-to targets of history's aggressors?

Ya, I get that the basis of Western anti-Semitism was rooted in their rejection of Christ. But slaves to the Pharaohs? What was that, 1,500 years prior? Why are they such targets?

Allow me to fast forward a bit here. The two closest allies our nation has in this world are without question the UK and Israel. Also without question, this president has rejected this notion. We've posted numerous times here on his returning the Churchill bust, eschewing Netenyahu out the back door, no photo op, etc.

Well, today the president is set to give a speech directed at the Arab world, encouraging them to embrace the "Arab Spring." It's a "historic opportunity", etc etc. Now I don't know if the BBC intended this timing, but yesterday they filed a report which included the first broadcast of the post-mortem Bin Laden. He recorded it only several weeks ago (it would seem). In it he is praising the Arab Spring, encouraging Muslims to embrace it, that it's an "historic opportunity", etc, etc.

Now I am not equating Osama & Obama's intentions towards Israel, nor the opportunity they each see in the Arab uprisings. However, there have been rumors floating for some time that come September (roughly) the US will present to the world its' plan for a 2 state solution for Israel and Palestine. Now, does anyone think that Israel's safety will be paramount in that US partition plan? And when you add this speech, embracing the Arab revolutions, I grow concerned.

Here's what I'm driving at - it is crystal clear that the extremists among the Arab Spring intend to turn these various revolutions into a religious awakening, resulting in theocracies across the Mid East. Will they succeed? Who knows. But this president, OUR president, is so biased in his attitudes towards Israel that he is leaping, feet first, eyes shut, in support of these uprisings (and proposing his own plan for Palestine) NO MATTER THE COST to Israel.

In other words he is more than willing to gamble with Israel's future over the "possibility" that these uprisings will turn democratic.

Think about a few things - 1)Israel's status as one of America's two premier allies 2)that attempts have been made to literally wipe them out in the past, and 3)threats to wipe them out pour from the mouths of their neighbors to this day. And THAT is the nation who's future our president is willing to gamble with at the "chance" these uprisings will turn democratic?

Do you know how many nations, out of the 160-some odd on earth, are functioning under the same form of government which their original revolution produced?

1.

The United States of America.

The French were at the center of the Renaissance, the archetypal Western advanced society, and look how their revolution unfolded. And that was without Wahhabism or WMDs.

Israel has it's share of liberals, progressives, and elitists. And yet President Obama's poll ratings there stand, according to the Jerusalem Post, at a staggering 6%. Should we not heed that as a warning?

Be it Coptic and Lebanese Christians, or the state of Israel, I have a feeling this entire affair will get very, very ugly... And soon.

By the way ... San Fransisco has a referendum on the city ballot (they got enough signatures this week) to ban the practice of circumcising boys under the age of 18, calling it "genital mutilation." Does that not strike anyone as just a tad anti-Semitic? And just as an aside, you can abort the child a few weeks earlier, but not circumcise him a few weeks later, because that would be cruel. I got that right? Just checking. Now let me see - the Left cried out that we must provide Korans and prayer rugs for detainees at GITMO, and we did. But in a major US city Jews will be banned from practicing their faith in the exercise of a 5,000 year old tradition?

How bout this Mein San Fran - lets start there, but in in a few months move on to banning their marrying outside their faith. No gentiles visiting Jewish dentists, just a piece at a time. Make part of the law one small inconsideration after another, one step here, one there. Then you can get together and talk about these new laws. Maybe get a key note speaker. Have the gathering at night. Try and wear matching outfits. And for global warming's sake, lets use say, torches for illumination rather then electricity. And for entertainment you can have a march for all to see, and they can carry those torches. Then after, in celebration, you can all go out and break glass ... just be sensitive enough not to party too late into the night though, you wouldn't want to interrupt the morning calls to prayer.
