THE DEATH OF ISRAEL………By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN
(My Note: Please go to Mr. Morris’ website and read the entire article. It is chilling to the core.)
From Caroline Glick, deputy editor and op-ed writer for the Jerusalem Post, comes alarming news. An expert on Arab-Israeli relations with excellent sources deep inside Netanyahu’s government, she reports that CIA chief Leon Panetta, who recently took time out from his day job (feuding with Nancy Pelosi) to travel to Israel “read the riot act” to the government, warning against an attack on Iran.
More ominously, Glick reports (likely from sources high up in the Israeli government) that the Obama administration has all but accepted as irreversible and unavoidable fact that Iran will soon develop nuclear weapons. She writes, “…we have learned that the [Obama] administration has made its peace with Iran’s nuclear aspirations. Senior administration officials acknowledge as much in off-record briefings. It is true, they say, that Iran may exploit its future talks with the US to run down the clock before they test a nuclear weapon. But, they add, if that happens, the US will simply have to live with a nuclear-armed mullocracy.”
[ snip ]
All this means is that Israel’s life is in danger. If Iran gets the bomb, it will use it to kill six million Jews. No threat of retaliation will make the slightest difference.
====================
My comments:
……..and 78% of American Jews voted for this. My people.
I can honestly say right now that there are many I know who will receive nothing from me other than scorn and a closed door when the merde encounters the ventillateur.
When asked by a friend here in Florida, “will they (the American Jews) ever wake up?”, I responded with…………
I doubt they’ll wake up even when (not if) Israeli cities start disappearing. But maybe….. just maybe….. when there’s guns to their heads in their own bedrooms here in the States, they might possibly start to have an inkling that something could have a chance at being slightly amiss.
…..but I’m still called insane, racist, not with the times….. the ususal stuff.
By the way, on a semi-related subject, the thought of ”him” laying a wreath at ‘The Tomb’ today has been too much for me to take. I can’t watch any news on TV and won’t look at any newspapers tomorrow. My uncle Ed (Mom’s Brother) is at rest in Arlington. Vietnam Veteran and served as a senior circuit court judge for The US Army.
Another by the way…… Hey lookie here….. A bomb blew apart the front of a Starbucks on Manhattan’s Upper East Side at 4am today. Funny how that simply slipped the minds of most news agencies for a while.

DONTREADONME (Diary) Monday, May 25th at 8:25PM EST (link)it still does not mean we should sit here and watch the world come apart at the seams. I can not believe how right we were about this guy and his cohorts. Zero may be on the level of Chamberlain with the allowing of North Korea and Iran to get the Bomb. Iran with the bomb puts our troops in Iraq at great risk. Iran could take out a large portion of the United States’ troops with one well placed bomb in Iraq. Not mention that one Nuclear armed missile from North Korea could take out 30,000 of our troops stationed around the DMZ in South Korea.
I do not know how many of my fellow redstaters find as much alarm as I do now that North Korea has probably sucessfully tested a >20 kTon atomic weapon. This is not like Pakistan testing a nuke after the sucessful test of India with a nuke. At least there was some sense of balance with those two, but we are left with unpreditable powers with nuclear weapons one of a radical islam and the other of a rogue communist. The world has just become a most dangerous place for everyone. Way to go Zerobama.

Unfortunately, the zerO’s brilliance in Foreign Affairs is making it far more likely that we will see nuclear exhanges on the planet, probably in his presidency. This makes every one on the planet less safe.
How long before South Korea and Japan find themselves on the zerO’s list of expendable allies becasaue the threat of nUclear war is too horrible to contemplate?

Kenny Solomon (Diary) Tuesday, May 26th at 12:53AM EST (link)Question: Have you any idea what the man thinks of and has said about our military ?
I ask that because the only thing I hear him do is apologize for all that was done since our nation’s inception.
So yes, I mean what say and say what I mean.
I cannot emotionally handle looking at the man in any form of military setting, especially any of of honor and respect, formal or otherwise. There are the remains of thousands of souls in Arlington who, if they were able, would have demanded his immediate departure from such hallowed ground.
I honestly see evil in his mannerisms – his holier-than-thou attitude, tone of voice and turd-ingesting-smirk – as if he’s is the only one with “the” knowledge of what is right for everyone.
Tie that in with his stated policies, words and actions, along with his surrounding himself with truly dangerous-to-liberty people in positions of actual power and we have the current degrading-by-the-second condition of our and other nation’s security at his hands.

Agree. They disdain the military.
penguin2 (Diary) Tuesday, May 26th at 10:22PM EST (link)They have demonstrated that for decades. I really think it is tied to a rejection of our American values and way of life. Unfortunately, their self-loathing is projected onto the rest of us and endangers the country when they have the power. That’s why they are always so ready to sell us down the river and apologize to the world for all of our misdeeds. You know, they really do believe that America is not a great and noble nation.
They do not know what honor is. We do. They only run up the flag when it is expedient for them to do so. Then they take it down and trample on it. Even got the Supreme Court to say they could.

Well, remember the left are masters of projection. Barack is actually all three of these things.
(1) Looking backward to FDR and the Great Society
(2) Smug, arrogant, and so sure of his leftist nostrums
(3) Not really very bright, absolutely clueless on economic issues for sure.
Add to that a deep hatred of the Nation he is leading. And that is a certainty, because you could not be friends with Alinsky and Wright and still love your country. Impossible.

civil truth (Diary) Tuesday, May 26th at 12:20AM EST (link)On the one hand, I have no issues with his performing his elected duties as President and Commander in Chief. I will at least look at his appointees rather than reflexively saying bad. He has occasionally (for whatever motivation) gotten things right.
On the other hand, I can’t agree with your characterization of him as a “decent enough guy”. It’s a visceral thing that goes back even before he was elected – but he does make my flesh crawl, especially his unscripted moments and the repeat lack of “class” that he shows. Plus he propensity to blame others than to take responsibility – and to take credit that is not due him.
What will evoke my disdain and gets scary is his demagoguing and thuggery, as seen in the AIG executives and the Chrysler creditors actions, and more indirectly in the muscling in that his Treasury officials are doing with private companies. History shows that unchecked power of this sort corrupts and escalates, leading to a very bad end.
And I do see escalating ill behavior.

I think his record on nominees with tax cheat type issues is running about 80%. It appears the Navy had to beg for his approval to rescue Captain Phillips and it appears from accounts that the ROEs were in play well before he was finally freed. This was a relatively minor incident – unless your name is Richard Phillips. I do not think he has the capacity to make the right decision about much of anything – due primarily to his worldview and/or his novice approach.

As for having it coming, my reference was to the destruction or attempted destruction of Israel because of the ineffective leadership of the Obama administration. American jews are going to wake up one morning to those events and say “How come our government isn’t stopping this?” Well, THEY voted for the guy and THEY get to suffer those consequences and while I will have great empathy for the Israelis I will have no sympathy for the idiot American jews suffering first bewilderment and then guilt, because of their stupidty.
Obama is going to get a lot of Americans killed and every one of those that voted for him will just be reaping what they sowed. Those killed who didn’t vote for him will be victims. Get ready for it.

Jews and all
Gyorc Nacain Wednesday, May 27th at 3:24AM EST (link)In response to this, which implies that you expect that American Jews can expect bad stuff to come to their doorstep soon:
Usually violent action is preceded by violent rhetoric. For example, the kids that perpetrated the Columbine massacre had, IIRC, said things previously which had alarmed people. Same with the VA Tech guy. And same with the Nazis, and other governments which killed people.
Say what you will about the Obama administration, but I don’t hear any violent rhetoric about this stuff. It’s always the same restrained poll-tested language you hear from all politicians. Annoying, sure, but hardly the stuff that usually precedes guns coming out. I haven’t heard such language from any other major group in the US – from neo nazis and David Duke, sure, but not from any group which I am worried will mount some organized attack on American Jewry.
The other big group to worry about, of course, is Iran and various terrorist groups. Iran I have heard various things about, and this goes against a lot of it. For example, there was some report a few years ago that they gave up going for a Nuke and haven’t returned to it. Someone pointed out somewhere that the Iranian regime has said that having Nukes is against Islam, and why would a regime say that and then get one, if they derive their authority from Islam? And there is the fact, of course, that for them to use one would be suicidal, and the Iranian leadership shows no indication of being suicidal.* For every time I have heard someone say that whatever source says that Iran is gonna have a Nuke very soon, I have heard that some source says the opposite. But even in the worst case they’re still not a threat to be knocking on doors with Mezuzot here in the US.
As for groups like Al-Qaeda…well, they’re still a threat. But that threat comes in the form of things like what happened on Sept. 11, or smaller attacks. And there hasn’t been a major attack in 8 years. They don’t have the capacity to start rounding up Jews, here in America. If such a thing happens, it will be from a homegrown source.
You can say that whoever would do this is just being secretive about it…but that isn’t how these things happen historically. People aren’t competent enough to have such a grand plan and execute it without giving any indication prior to doing it. Even if they did, it would require violent action on the parts of lay people, which would have to be preceded by violent, popular rhetoric in order to even be remotely feasible, and as I said there isn’t any violent rhetoric coming from Obama or any other major group/person.
*Take Ahmadinejad, for example. I bet he doesn’t really believe the stuff about the virgins…if he did wouldn’t he have become a suicide bomber a long time ago? I bet he’s just a cynical politician. The guy I’d be worried about more is Kim Jong Il, who from what I’ve heard really is a crazy person, and who probably does have a nuke.
You are missing the point
JustLeaveMeAlone (Diary) Wednesday, May 27th at 6:25PM EST (link)It isn’t Obama and his minions that will be putting guns to anyone’s head in their bedrooms.
But there are plenty of people in this world (starting with fundamentalist Muslims, aka jihadists) who are more than happy to do so … and Obama seems to be on the path of caving to their every whim.
The homegrown source you allude to is among us. Did you see the chanting crowds in many major American cities during the last Gaza conflict? Did you reads any of the signs they carried? Have you heard about Sharia law being incorporated into some banks, even considered as a legal system in some parts of the USA? Did you hear about the Bronx synagogue that was targeted until the plot was foiled last week?
The enemy is here. And growing. And NOT going to stop his insidious infiltration.

Kenny Solomon (Diary) Wednesday, May 27th at 6:53PM EST (link)I simply didn’t have the energy at 5am to deal with this comment…. no sleep, no coffee, no patience.
Then again, on my point that originated Gyorc’s comment, I could have explained myself a tad better.
Oh well.
reply
Gyorc Nacain Wednesday, May 27th at 9:01PM EST (link)Ok, so here goes:
-I definitely agree that there are people out there that, given the chance, would go around and put guns to people’s heads in their bedrooms here in the US. But I don’t see such a group being big or influential enough to actually do so here in the US.
As for Obama…I disagree obviously, and without turning this into a general foreign policy debate, I’ll just say this. I would be worried about this happening if I ever actually hear Obama or anyone else (people in positions of power not fringe types) actually condoning such violence. Maybe you think that there are people who try to explain it, or shift the conversation away from it, or blame-America-first, or whatever, but to me the warning sign is someone in a high up spot explicitly condoning violence, because that almost always happens before the violence.
-The homegrown source. I have seen hateful signs. But I must say, out of the Muslims I have personally known, the majority’s eyes glaze over if I get 5 seconds into politics while talking to them. I haven’t met any who could be described as militant in any way. For every hateful sign at a Gaza rally there were both more peaceful signs, and a bunch of counter protesters. Using my family as an example, people were upset by this (when I went home I a route other than the one near the protesters so as to not get my Dad upset), but did not feel threatened. My guess is if people did feel threatened the counter protesters would absolutely dwarf the protesters. This is hardly a development with much backing, just a highly visible minority.
So it seems that this (people here in the US who wanna see violence done here in the US in the name of Gaza or whatever) is a fringe group, they are overwhelmingly opposed in the US, and the type of scenario drawn up here (not just a terrorist attack but people being rounded up) doesn’t result from that type of thing.
And as for the Bronx synagogue, I did hear because my Grandfather lives in Riverdale.
As for the Sharia law thing, I don’t know anything about that. But it doesn’t seem like a warning sign of knocks on doors.
more in a second…
more
Gyorc Nacain Wednesday, May 27th at 9:20PM EST (link)Part of the reason I am posting here is because I see a lot of rhetoric coming from the right, that seems to anticipate violence coming soon (and directed against them). It is not matched by violent rhetoric coming from the left (other than some fringe types, but that hasn’t changed beyond its constant low level which you hear from both sides), or from people in power.
One might say in response that the people planning whatever bad acts are keeping quiet, biding their time. Let me say why I think that is an unfounded fear. In order for any such bad thing to happen, there must be broad political support – support for violence. People don’t just decide one day that they’re in favor of violence, support builds up – and on my side of the aisle there is no such buildup. Millions of people don’t somehow decide to agree to violence while maintaining secrecy…so there’s no way anything like this could be “in the works” right now. You can have a conspiracy among a handful of people maybe, but not among millions.
Any broad based violent action (like people getting those knocks on their doors) must have broad support for that violent action, which can only happen if millions of people are convinced of the rightness of violence, which will always be accompanied by a national buildup of violent rhetoric which just isn’t happening right now. Nobody on my side is coming for anyone.
You are still missing the point
JustLeaveMeAlone (Diary) Wednesday, May 27th at 10:49PM EST (link)It doesn’t take broad-based support; it only takes broad-based silence. It takes allowing things to happen. It takes being a wuss and a wimp in a dangerous world. There are plenty of people who will handle the violence part without any help from “your side” — other than your non-recognition of the danger until it’s too late.
The one constant thing in this world is change — so don’t tell me that this isn’t possible.
I don’t know how old you are. But when I was a child, I would never have thought (for instance) that the Soviet Union would one day no longer be here. As recently as 10 years ago, I would have laughed at the idea that some zealots from the Middle East could take down the World Trade Center with hijacked airplanes — and even fly one into the Pentagon.
I also could not have imagined some of the good things that have happened, but those two stand events out as “facts of life” that proved to be changeable, wouldn’t you say?
Even two or three years ago, I could not have dreamed that an American president would bow to the King of Saudi Arabia. I wouldn’t have thought this country would desert her most-staunch ally, or insult her oldest ones. I would never have suspected that even the tax-and-spend types could borrow TEN TRILLION dollars in the blink of an eye, or that the US Government would take over GM and Chrysler and virtually donate them to the unions, or that there would be credible talk of mandatory “service” programs to indoctrinate our children.
So yes, I have to ask, “what’s next?”
“To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.” Thomas Jefferson
last reply (for now at least)
Gyorc Nacain Thursday, May 28th at 2:42AM EST (link)The question – does it take active participation of people or just silence – is an interesting one. When it comes to these things the example people most often bring up, of course, is the Nazis, and I have heard arguments in both directions (that a large portion of Germans were willing accomplices, or that most merely did nothing to stop it).
But assume, for the sake of argument, that silence is sufficient. Even then, I don’t see anyone actually okay with violence of this (or any) type on my side. There is a big distance between say wanting to close Gitmo, and saying “meh” in the event of a terrorist attack.
Now, it is true that things can change quickly. But that argument can be used for anything. I mean, it’s also possible that Google will accidentally create skynet in the next 5-10 years, or that some asteroid will hit the Earth and do some major damage, or someone comes up with some great new source of energy making oil politics obsolete, or there’s another worldwide flu pandemic, or who knows what.
I don’t see a reason to believe that people in charge of things are about to condone or allow widespread violence of this sort, and the things-can-change bit can be applied to too many things for it alone to be a persuasive argument that this is likely to happen.

In remarks to reporters at the State Department, Clinton said President Barack Obama had made clear last week during talks at the White House with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that stopping settlements is a key part of moving toward a deal establishing a Palestinian state alongside Israel.
“He wants to see a stop to settlements — not some settlements, not outposts, not ‘natural growth’ exceptions,” Clinton said, referring in the last case to population growth on existing Israeli settlements in the West Bank from births and from allowances for adult offspring of settlers to buy homes near their parents.
“We think it is in the best interests (of the peace process) that settlement expansion cease,” Clinton added, with Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit at her side. “That is our position. That is what we have communicated very clearly. … And we intend to press that point.”

olsarge Friday, May 29th at 2:40PM EST (link)I have feared the left/marxist my entire life. I served in the USAF for 20 years and never could get my head around all the stupidity of the political class. They continually made excuses for tyrants out to destroy the US and the world. Why did they do that? Perhaps the urge to get along at all cost.
Had we chosen to stand up in a decisive manner, this would not be our present situation. We didn’t, so here we are.
What is it about humanity that causes many to feel it is better to surrender then to fight? Jews seem to suffer even more from this mental break down.

Face it, the Dems have mastered racial/ethnic/identity politics.

They refuse to stand by Isreal and still get 80% of the Jewish vote.
They stand against the values (life, marriage, family) of Hispanics and still get 70% of the Hispanic vote.
They sympathize with and coddle up to terrorists who want to kill all homosexuals and still get virtually all of the gay vote.
I only pray that one day these “groups” will wake up and realize who really has their best interests at heart.
“Life is too short, can’t we all just eat pork and kill some terrorists?”
