I mentioned this before, but I'll say it again because...well... I guess I just like saying it: The United Nations should be dismantled and the U.N. building in New York City should be turned into a public toilet. That way, the building can perform a legitimate service.
This week, Iranian President Ahmadinnejad spoke at the U.N. along with Lybian President Qaddafi. Instead of slapping handcuffs on these murdering, terrorist snakes, we sit and let them lecture the world. Watch for somebody to say that Amadinnejad has a nice smile and therefore cannot possibly be evil.
Obama also spoke. He did not have very harsh words for nations that are truly dangerous, but he did scold Israel again for her "occupation" of Palestine, catering to the conventional sentiment that the Muslim world hates America only because of Israel and not because they follow a Koran which commands them to kill those who will not submit to Islam.
But Obama just plows ahead, asking Israel to have talks with the Palestinians without any preconditions. In a legitimate peace treaty, both sides are supposed to get something out of it. Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, is ever offered to Israel. Instead, it's :"You give up land and we'll promise to stop killing your people with suicide bombers. Sound fair?"
And then, the day after Israel makes a deal, there is another suicide bombing anyway, because A) in the Muslim world, making a deal is considered a form of weakness to be exploited, and B) the Palestinians do not recognize Israel's right to exist. Neither do most of Israel's neighbor nations.
No concession from Israel (and there have been far too many to count) will ever make any difference to the Palestinians. If Obama does not know this, he is too naive to be giving Israel orders about treaties. If Obama does know this, then is is just downright evil.
While we are on the subject, allow me to correct the myth about Israel's "illegal occupation."
In 1967, 9 different
nations (Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Algeria, Kuwait, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq), declared war on Israel and promised to exterminate every Jew.
“Egypt is ready to plunge into a total war that will be the
end of Israel.” (Radio Cairo, May 17, 1967)
Surprising the world with a
preemptive strike, Israel defeated the Arabs in just six days. At that time,
their territory was expanded to the West Bank, The Golan
Heights, The Gaza Strip and the Sinai. This territory is frequently referred to
as a part of Israel’s “illegal occupation.” I tend to hate that term and
I argue against it for the following reasons:
1) When we think of occupying countries, what usually comes
to mind is an aggressive empire seeking to conquer and expand, not a tiny
little nation that expanded its boarders only as a means of survival, to
prevent her untrustworthy neighbors from attacking again.
2) Most of this land had been legally offered to Israel
in the Balfar Declaration anyway, before Great
Britain sold it behind Israel’s
back.
3) Historically, the land had been the home of the Jews for
literally thousands of years.
4) The United Nations has become so corrupt, I no longer
accept their standard as to what is legal or illegal.
True or
False: The PLO was created
only to take back what Israel stole, not to annihilate Israel.
ANSWER: False
First of all, the PLO
was created, not by a Palestinian, but by Egyptian President Nasser who shamelessly
admitted that its goal was the “Liquidation of Israel.” The PLO was founded in
1964. Israel’s
“occupation” followed the Six Day War in 1967.
You can do the math, can’t you?
Of course, the most well
known name in association with the PLO is Yasser Arafat. He was not a Palestinian either. Arafat was
born in Cairo in1929
His Grandfather Mahmoud –Al-Hussein was cousin to
JajAh.Hussein Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, friend of Adolph Hitler and Nazi
operator during WWII.
Concerning the Jews, Arafat said, “Surely the judgment of
Allah is reserved for them until Palestine
is transformed from the House of War to the House of Islam.”
Arafat and his friends basically created modern day
terrorism, as we know it. In 1951, Arafat joined the Muslem Brotherhood which
later assassinated Anwar Saddat for signing a peace treaty with Israel. In 1957, after the Moslem Brotherhood was
outlawed, Arafat fled Egypt
and made his way to Kuwait
in order to avoid arrest.
In 1969, Arafat became chairman of PLO Fatah and other PLO splinter groups that executed hundreds
of attacks around the world.
If you feel you just received quite an education, know that today's universities do not offer such an education, Instead, they offer lies, doctrine, and propaganda. Neither has our president been properly educated, unless (as mentioned above) he does know this stuff and is acting out of downright evil motives toward Israel. I would prefer to give him the benefit of the doubt and stick with the ignorance theory. Either way, he is not qualified to be leading America, let alone, the world.
