The Czechoslovakization of Israel by Obama

Jerry Gordon

Given the unfolding drama of the conflict between Washington under President Obama and Israeli PM Netanyahu these past two weeks there appears to be a yawning and dangerous cognitive disconnect. It is reflected in the opposing views on the Israel Arab conflict of the Obama White House National Security team, including senior levels in the Pentagon, the Congress and those of the American people. The Obama Administration. given statements by Vice President Biden, senior political councilor, David Axelrod, Secretary of Statement Clinton, CENTCOM commander Gen. Petraeus (note his speech at St. Anselm's College in New Hampshire today and his upcoming Irving Kristol address) compounds the isolation of Israel represented by the views of leading National Security Council staff and consultants, our State Department, the Brown UK government , Catherine Ashton the External Relations Commissioner of the EU, and The Quartet, notwithstanding former British PM Tony Blair's brilliant speech at AIPAC, yesterday. It is part and parcel of appeasement by the Obama Administration through its outreach to the Muslim ummah given the supremacist agenda of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), lead by Saudi Arabia to establish a world Caliphate ruled by a strong Emir under Sharia. The agenda includes taking back the Waqf- the lands including present day Israel, Spain the Balkans and even Central Europe conquered in the successive waves of Jihad that erupted 1400 years ago out of the Arabian peninsula.

As Bat Ye'or has noted, under Islamic doctrine the entire world is held in trust by Allah in perpetuity for the Muslim ummah. Melanie Phillips correctly observed in her Spectator blog post yesterday, “Israel as Czechoslovakia” that it could be eerily akin to what happened to Czechoslovakia at Munich in September, 1938. The Munich agreement that led to the dismemberment of the Czech Republic when subsequently Nazi forces marched into Prague in March, 1939- a prelude to WWII and the Holocaust or Shoah. Phillips noted the outrage in diplomatic circles when former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said that” Israel would not play the role of Czechoslovakia in the thirties.”

Opinion polls in this country reflect overwhelming support for Israel generally- more than 63% in a recent Gallup poll. A recent poll commissioned by The Israel Project revealed that Americans would support Israel by a margin of 8 to 1 should a conflict erupt between Israel and its Arab neighbors, including the Palestinians. However, the Obama White House. appears indifferent to public sentiments. We have a President with a mixed Muslim Christian background who is endeavoring to perfect his role as the interlocutor between these opposite world views, the former intent on overwhelming and replacing Judeo Christian values inherent in our US Constitution with Sharia-Islamic law and Jihad. Israel stands in the way of Obama achieving comity with a rejectionist Muslim world order.

As evidence of this emerging prospect, consider the following:

· Samantha Powers, formerly at the Harvard Kennedy School and on the NSC senior staff has castigated Israel for war crimes (Jenin 2002) and argued for use of multilateral forces to enforce unilateral peace agreements in Palestinian territories;

· Susan Rice, US UN Ambassador has also been a proponent of multilateral humanitarian force and a global nuclear non proliferation treaty that would force inspection of Israel's nuclear arsenal with continuing the fiction of engagement with the Iranian Islamic Republic over nuclear enrichment;

· Secretary of State Clinton's castigation of Israeli PM Netanyahu for building apartment blocks in Jewish Jerusalem while "crippling sanctions", directed against the Iranian Islamic Republic annihilationist and passed in legislation by Congress languish. Meanwhile the Obama Administration pursues fruitless UN Security Council sanctions that Russia and China undermine for geo-political resource reasons;

· Gen James L. Jones, NSC advisor to Obama had previously been involved in supervising Palestinian security force training as Middle East security adviser to former Bush Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice after jhis retirement from the Marine Crops in 2006.. Prior to that he had tours during the Bosnian Conlift and as SAC/EUR he oversaw NATO forces engaged in the Balkans. Lt. Gen. Keith Dayton his successor as US Security coordinator involved in creating a Palestinian gendarmerie force of five batt;aions of 500 men at facilities in Amman, Jordan, may have produced potential Fatah al Aksa Brigade and even Hamas cadres for possible action against IDF security forces and Jewish settlements on the West Bank and Jerusalem. Jones is in line with Other US Generals, Like Marine General Anthony Zinni , a former CENTCOM commander, who evinced an anti-Israel position on security and occupation issues in the Palestinian territories. Many of these General officers were products of the Bosnia Kosovo regional conflicts under the Clinton Administration that eventuated in the establishment of two Islamic republics in the Balkans supported by both Saudi and Iranian funding;

· Gen Petraeus' briefings to CJC Adm. Mullin and his Senate Armed Services Committee testimony suggesting that the Arab-Israel conflict produces untoward US force casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan a predicate for the Powers multilateral 'humanitarian force' doctrine reflected in his request to expand the territories under his CENTCOM jurisdiction to include Israel and the West Bank; {Petraeus distanced himself from this conclusion-das}

· EU External Relations Ashton's recent trip to Gaza was aimed at supporting the maligned Goldstone report's allegations about IDF human rights violations in Operation Cast Lead leading to possible sanctions against the Jewish State;

· US Secretary of Defense Gates cancellation of the F-22 Raptor production requested by Israel, Australia and Japan, delays in F-35 production and alleged diversion of promised bunker buster bombs from Israel to US bases on the British island of Diego Rivera in the Indian Ocean deprive Israel of the conventional weaponry and delivery systems to undertake a military option against Iran's nuclear facilities;

· Obama policy Advisor, former Carter Administration National Security Advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski holds views suggesting attacking Israeli aircraft and missiles in any possible unilateral action against Iranian nuclear weapons development targets, coupled with views about a Mutual Assured Deterrent US strategy should the Islamic Republic develop nuclear weapons. Let us not forget that Brzezinski and Carter abetted the Islamic Revolutionary and forced the capitulation of the Shah of Iran that lead to the US embassy crisis in Tehran in 1979 that ended 444 days later on the eve of the inauguration of President Ronald Reagan Moreover, during the carter Administration ,as documented in Steve Coll’s book, Ghost Wars, Brezezinski kick started the covert war against the Soviet-backed regime in Afghanistan with the aid of Islamic governments, notably Pakistan and Saudi Arabia;

· UK Foreign minister David Miliband, son of "Jewish immigrants" expulsion of an Israeli diplomat for alleged forgery of purloined UK Passports from Israeli Olim from Britain in connection with the alleged Dubai assassination of Mahmoud al Mabhouh, Hamas military leader engaged in Iranian weapons shipments to Gaza ,further enflames EU and British Commonwealth isolation of Israel as a rogue pariah state;

· Rumored Obama Administration support for a unilateral declaration of a Palestinian State reverting to the pre-1967 June wars 1949 Armistice Line should 'proximity talks' led by US Special Envoy Former Sen. Mitchell result in a stalemate. This is akin to the Kosovo unilateral declaration of indepedence recognized by NATO, the US and the EU, but Russia during the final year of the Bush Administration that established a second Islamic state in the Balkans (Bosnia being the first).

· Obama Administration support for the Saudi peace plan amplified by megaphones like New York Times pundit, Thomas Friedman, Harvard Kennedy School Professor Stephen M. Walt and others in the academic policy wonk community and media (Foreign Policy, Salon.com) that support a Palestinian unilateral declaration reverting to the Auschwitz line, compensation and/or repatriation of the descendents of Arab refugees who fled during War for Independence at the behest of the Arab Higher Committee.

The American and Israeli people no longer trust the Obama White House to provide the security means for Israel to defend itself. Czechoslovakia in the summer of 1938 which had extensive fortifications in the Sudetenland and the most modern motorized military force in Central Europe opposing the Nazi onslaught, was dismembered at Munich abetted by British and French appeasement to 'achieve peace in our times' with Hitler and Mussolini.

It would be ironic for Israel, America's best ally in the Middle East, for the Obama White House to eerily sacrifice Israel to mollify the totalitarian Jihadist doctrine of Islam so admired by Hitler whose Nazi forces murdered six million European Jewish men, women and children during the Shoah. PM Netanyahu the body polity of virtually all Israelis, many US Members of Congress and most Americans are united in stopping another prospective Shoah by a nuclear armed annihilationist Iran. before it occurs in our time. What the Obama Administration with its appeasement of the world caliphate order of the OIC and engagement of apocalyptic Jihadist Iran contradicts this special relationship between allies... The relentless pursuit by the Obama Administration of such policies in the Middle East and outreach to the Muslim ummah endangers and contradicts the Judeo Christian values of liberty and freedom that. are the foundational precepts of Israel, America and many western democratic nations.

The IDF’s Minorities in Numbers and Pictures

In honor of IDF Diversity Week, we present diversity through numbers and pictures. Each year, more and more Muslims, Christians, Druze, Bedouin and immigrants from around the world take on the responsibility of defending Israel.

MUSLIMS:

Muslim Arab Israelis are not required to draft in the IDF, but there are many who volunteer. In 2013, there were over 200 Muslims serving in the IDF and over 300 in the reserves.

Bedouins:

Bedouins are nomadic Muslims who were in Israel when modern borders were set in place and are now considered Israeli citizens. They are not required to draft but a growing number choose to enlist. In 2012, there were over 1,400 Bedouin Muslim soldiers doing regular IDF service and almost 1,500 in the reserves.

Are you aware that in 2013, Middle class taxes go up-significantly?

In January of next year, the federal income tax rate for middle-class taxpayers is scheduled to rise from 25 percent to 28 percent, and the payroll tax is scheduled to rise from 13.3 percent to 15.3 percent… This drives the marginal tax rate based on the aforementioned three taxes to 48.12 percent. Add in state and local property, corporate, excise, and other state and local taxes, and the percentage of each additional dollar that is taxed hovers around 50 percent… When half of each additional dollar earned is taxed away, taxpayers experience a disincentive to start businesses or expand existing ones. This leads to fewer jobs being created.

Why is HAMAS Inside Tampa Schools?

Clare Lopez

Kelly Miliziano, who teaches history classes at Steinbrenner High School in the Tampa, Florida area apparently thinks it’s perfectly OK to invite a senior official of a HAMAS-affiliated organization into her classroom to discuss Islam with her students. According to local media reports, not only has this been going on for years, but in spite of the civil and criminal proceedings that could result from such reckless negligence, the Hillsborough County school superintendent, Mary Ellen Elia, and the chairman of the school board, Candy Olson, also expressed approval for students under their responsibility to be exposed repeatedly to guest speaker, Hassan Shibly, who is the Executive Director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in the Tampa area.

Did You Know... Ignoring the Call to Islam will Bring Jihad

‘Conquest through Da’wa [proselytizing] that is what we hope for. We will conquer Europe, we will conquer America! Not through sword but through Da’wa.’
-- Yousef al-Qaradawi , Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader The Arabic word ‘Da’wa’ means the “call to Islam.” But do not think that Da’wa is the same thing as an invitation to an optional holiday event. The classical Islamic doctrine of jihad mandates that enemies must be given the opportunity to convert to Islam or pay the jizya tax before it is permissible to attack them.

On March 31, 1977, the Dutch newspaper Trouw published an interview

with PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein. Here's what he said:

"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism.

For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan."

The Arab Apartheid

Ben-Dror Yemini
In 1948, the Arab countries refused to accept the UN partition proposal and they launched a war of annihilation against the State of Israel which had barely been established. All precedents in this matter showed that the party that starts the war - and with a declaration of annihilation, yet - pays a price for it. Between 550,000 and 710,000 Arabs fled because of the war and a larger number of 850,000 Jews were expelled or fled from Arab countries (the "Jewish nakba").
Population exchanges and expulsions were the norm at that time, occurring in dozens of other conflict points and affecting about 52 million people. In all the population exchange precedents that occurred during or at the end of an armed conflict, there was no return of refugees to the previous region, which had turned into a new national state.
Only the Arab states acted completely differently from the rest of the world. Instead of assimilating the refugees, they crushed them despite the fact that they were their coreligionists and members of the Arab nation - instituting a regime of apartheid. So the "nakba" was not caused by the actual dispossession, which had also been experienced by tens of millions of others. The "nakba" is the story of the apartheid, oppression, abuse and denial of rights suffered by the Arab refugees at the hands of the Arab countries. (Maariv)

International Law and Military Operations in Practice - Col. Richard Kemp

"Islamist fighting groups study the international laws of armed conflict carefully and they understand it well. They know that a British or Israeli commander and his men are bound by international law and the rules of engagement that flow from it. They then do their utmost to exploit what they view as one of their enemy's main weaknesses. Their very modus operandi is built on the correct assumption that Western armies will normally abide by the rules, while these insurgents employ a deliberate policy of operating consistently outside international law. "

Lost Historical Moments

What Rabin’s last Knesset speech really said:repudiation of a Palestinian state

Rabin ruled out a fully sovereign Palestinian state :

“We view the permanent solution in the framework of State of Israel which will include most of the area of the Land of Israel as it was under the rule of the British Mandate, and alongside it a Palestinian entity which will be a home to most of the Palestinian residents living in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. We would like this to be an entity which is less than a state, and which will independently run the lives of the Palestinians under its authority.”

Rabin ruled out a total withdrawal from Judea and Samaria and thus a return to the pre-June 1967 borders :

“The borders of the State of Israel, during the permanent solution, will be beyond the lines which existed before the Six Day War. We will not return to the 4 June 1967 lines.”

Rabin ruled out withdrawing form the Jordan Valley:

“The security border of the State of Israel will be located in the Jordan Valley, in the broadest meaning of that term.”

Rabin ruled out uprooting settlement blocs, like the Gush Katif bloc in Gaza (which was subsequently uprooted by former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon):

“The establishment of blocs of settlements in Judea and Samaria, like the one in Gush Katif.

AND

Rabin ruled out removing any settlement before coming to a full peace agreement with the Palestinians:

“I want to remind you: we committed ourselves, that is, we came to an agreement, and committed ourselves before the Knesset, not to uproot a single settlement in the framework of the interim agreement, and not to hinder building for natural growth.”

Rabin insisted on Israel retaining full security control of the borders with Egypt and Jordan, contrary to Israel’s relinquishment of the Philadelphia Corridor on the border with Egypt:

“The responsibility for external security along the borders with Egypt and Jordan, as well as control over the airspace above all of the territories and Gaza Strip maritime zone, remains in our hands.”

Correcting Oslo Myths-Part 2

3) Kuttab laments that the post-1993 Oslo process resulted in a Palestinian Authority "whose ministers and legislators are not guaranteed passage between Gaza and the West Bank ...."

Before free passage or other perquisites, PA leaders were obligated, among other things, to eliminate the terrorist infrastructure in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, end anti-Israeli, antisemitic incitement in schools, mosques, and communications media, and resolve all outstanding issues through peaceful negotiations. They met none of these commitments, sometimes bolstering terrorism and greatly increasing incitement.

4) Kuttab complains that under Oslo the PA got "lightly armed police ---- but no real sovereignty over the land or contiguity between our communities in Gaza and the West Bank."

Oslo agreements repeatedly were revised, regardless of Palestinian non-compliance, until the authorized number of police grew from 8,000 to 40,000. Though they were to be the only armed forces in the territories, Israeli estimates early in the second intifada put the number of gunmen - police, "security services," terrorists, and armed gangs - at 85,000. Their armament reportedly included not only heavy machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades, but also anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles.

Sovereignty was to be negotiated in the envisioned 1998 "final status" talks - after a five-year period of confidence-building. Palestinian leadership chronically undermined the process. Palestinian terrorism made the 1993 - 1998 Oslo period more deadly for Israelis than the 15 years preceding it.

The United States doesn't have contiguity between the lower 48 states and Alaska and Hawaii; territorial contiguity between the West Bank and Gaza Strip - that is, through the 20 miles of Israeli territory between them - was never promised and would destroy Israeli contiguity.

5) "Palestinians have been made to endure hundreds of checkpoints in the West Bank, an eight-foot wall deep in our territories, and tight Israeli control over borders."

The security barrier is not "deep in Palestinian territories," but rather encompasses less than 8 percent of Judea and Samaria, and is mostly a fence, rarely a wall; the land in question is not "our [Palestinian] territories" but disputed territory to which, according to the authors of U.N. Security Council Resolution 242, Jews as well as Arabs have claims; and there are no international borders, only the 1949 armistice lines with Jordan. Under 242, borders remain to be negotiated. As for checkpoints - like the security barrier and "tight Israeli control" - Palestinian Arabs precipitated these measures themselves. No terrorism and there would be no fence or tight Israeli control and few checkpoints - like before the first intifada.

Correcting Some Oslo Myths

1) In Oslo "Israeli, Palestinian and other world leaders promised that ... Palestinian sovereignty would be solidified."

No, they didn't. The 1993 Declaration of Principles and subsequent Oslo agreements outlined a process by which final status negotiations about the West Bank and Gaza Strip would be reached. The process required an end to anti-Israel terrorism and incitement and a commitment to peaceful negotiations. The PA, Fatah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and other terrorist groups, sabotaged the process from the start.

2) "The reality is that, in defiance of U.N. Security Council Resolution 242, which states that it is inadmissible to occupy land by force, Palestinian territories are still under foreign military occupation."
Wrong again. Resolution 242 (1967) does note "the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war." It also affirms the right of every state in the area "to live in peace with secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force." There were no "Palestinian territories." Jordan occupied the West Bank, Egypt controlled Gaza. Israel did not have "secure and recognized boundaries," so retention of some of those territories was possible under 242. Israel is not a "foreign" military occupier in the West Bank but, pending final negotiations, the lawful military administrator as a result of a successful war of self-defense.
