Obama's State Dept Says Jerusalem Is Palestinian

In this day and age, an organization's web page tells a lot about its owner. The words and the pictures present the images and the message of the sponsoring organization. 

That is why the United States State Department's web site for the American Consulate in Jerusalem is so disturbing. The site can be accurately described as a newsletter for all things Palestinian. It announces U.S. taxpayer grants to the Palestinian Authority. It provides tickets for Palestinian youth to summer camps and movie theaters. It announces a grant to preserve Palestinian Heritage.

What is not mentioned (and this may change when light is shed on this embarrassing situation) is that:

THERE IS NOT A WORD ABOUT JEWS OR THE STATE OF ISRAEL

Our friend Cliff May from the Foundation for the Defense Democracies notes that there is a link to an Arabic version of the site but none to a Hebrew version.

Take a look at this piece of propaganda brought to you by the Obama Administration. After you look let Obama know what you think, let your elected Representatives know as well.

One Jerusalem has repeatedly warned that the Obama Administration is intent on taking Jerusalem away from the Jewish people. Unfortunately the evidence supporting this proposition continues to pile up.

The article about the embassy in Jerusalem is very disturbing. Is it possible for your organization to have a template letter to send to our reps in senate and congress?

Thanx.

This does not surprise me at all, in a speech earlier this year Obama called Tel Aviv the capital of Israel, he already has it set in his mind that he is giving Jerusalem to the Palestinians free and clear. Many in the media thought this was an accident, our bright new president wouldn't make that mistake. It was intentional, Obama can not be trusted.

The British press never reports any of the facts you provide us with.
Why not?
Anti-Semitic feeling is endemic- and they talk about human rights.
What about Israeli/jewish human rights?

Hereunder my email to the USA Consulate General in Jerusalem:

Dear Sir/Madam,

Reading the One Jerusalem web site I came across a comment that the US Consulate General (C-G)in Jerusalem gave the impression that the USA's State Dept. regarded Jeruslem as "Palestinian".

On visiting the site that impression is more than confirmed. The C-G seems to be exclusively concerned with "Palestinians", i.e. the brand name that local Arabs adopted in 1965.

More than that, with the link to Gaza, a territory under terrorist control according to US law, it seems that despite its public refusal to have dealings with Hamas, the USA is doing deals by the back door. It is difficult to believe that the Gaza contacts are merely to attempt to boost the absolutist, uncompromising, war monger Abu Mazen who continues to be designated as Israel's peace partner even though his term of office has expired.

From the web site one could infer that the C-G is in fact the USA's embassy to what the State Dept. hopes will one day become some Arab Mohammedan nation called Palestine.

I would be pleased to learn (1) why there is no link to Israel or Jewish groups from the C-G, (2) what is the USA's current policy on Jeruslem and (3) why is the USA executive continuing to defy its legislature's call to transfer the USA's embassy to Israel's capital.

Sincerely yours

"Don't you know that taking Jerusalem away from the Jewish People is for our own good", say the glassy eyed, spineless, invertebrates, that are devoted to the god of Obama.

As long as Hussein Obama is in the White House, Israel will have problems with this Muslim. He is "diplomatically" following Ahmadinejad's dream of erasing Israel, no matter what anybody says about him. That's his ultimate goal, we can talk, argue, discuss left and right; useless. He must be stopped. Period.

Note that 78% of our co-religionists voted for Obama. How's that for stupidity? When during the campaign I said to my congregation that if they loved Israel they must not vote for him, I was met with growling, rumbling opposition. They say that Jews are smarter than the general population, but I'm beginning to doubt it. And that's without mentioning the damage he's doing to the USA.

It has become painfully obvious that Obama hates Jews and all things Jewish. Somehow funds must be raised and dedicated to buying full page ads in major newspapers that will tell the Jewish and Israeli side of the history of the Holy Land. Had the fate of Jews been determined by the US State Department over the past 60 years there never would have been an Israel. Obama has so screwed up the United States that he won't be able to run for re-election. The Congress will return to saner hands as will the White House. BUT now the war of ideas and history must be fought in the public forum. The Jews who support Obama are of the same ilk as the kapos at Auschwitz.

I thank the faithful in Christ who have encouraged and supported Israel for the magnificent sentiments expressed in the One Jerusalem forum.

I remind all that the City of Jerusalem is NEVER MENTIONED in Muslim holy books but is mentioned hundreds of times in the Old and New Testaments. Christians too are suffering terribly in Muslim areas of the Holy Land. There is NO ABRAHAMIC ETHIC. There only exists Judeo-Christian ethic. This unity will save the day and the promises of the Scriptures,

Why don't all you phonies look up a cached page from the web site as it was under your lord and savior JeezBush? Here, I'll save you the trouble. It is the page from May 9, 2007:
http://web.archive.org/web/20070509193636/http://jerusalem.usconsulate.gov/
As you can see, it is the same pro-Palestinian garbage. Why weren't you shooting your mouths off to the father of the "palestinian" state George W. Bush?

Remember that 78% of Jewish voters went for Obama. When I spoke to my congregation during the campaign, advising them that if they loved Israel they should not vote for Obama, they growled their opposition. It was obvious from the beginning that he was a fraud, and my supposedly clever co-religionists chose to suspend disbelief. Well, lads and lassies, how do you like him now?

I see that is the policy here to not publish comments that don't "follow the party line." However, I'll try again. Pleas look at cached pages for the embassy web site. There you will see that the same policy was in place during the Bush administration. Why weren't you upset then?

The State Department is corrupt. It continually supports those who would bomb and seek to destroy us. It ignores our one true ally in the Middle East. President Obama has travelled along his own path. Even the slightest thought of dividing or of the taking away of Jerusalem is an abomination. No one may dare to do that. All of Jerusalem and all of the JUDEA and SAMARIA belong to the State of Israel. But kings and pawns would play with other peoples' belongings and believe that it is their right to take Sacred Lands at will, regardless of who, whom or What they are taking it from. As the L-rd G-d Hashem Elohim has declared "...I will gather all of the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehosophat and I will contend with them there oncerning My people and My possession, Israel, that they dispersed among the nations, and they divided up my My land..." Not too many people truly believe in G-d any more and of the few who claim that they do, most are adrift thinking paganistic thoughts and engaged in idol-worship. President Obama has declared regarding Israel, "Off with her head!" He will sever her, slice her up and dole her out to the Arabic and Muslim nations. Mr. Obama is a true anti-American Muslim. He has devised a tradition, the "Obama Doctrine," whereby he will he "will mark the decline and fall of the United States as the world's superpower" ("The Washington Times," "The Obama Doctrine: Opening a pathway to America's decline," by Jeffrey Kuhner, July 25, 2009, p. 1). Mr. Kuhner goes on to point out: "In fact, its [the 'Obama Docrtine's'] very objective is to undercut America's pre-eminent global role, reducing its great-power status to that of a multilateral partner equal to Russia, China or the European Union. At its core, the Obama Doctrine maintains that all societies and cultures are morally equal. More important, promoting democracy and human rights has been abandoned in favor of 'improving America's standing in the world'" ("The Washington Times," "The Obama Doctrine: Opening a pathway to America's decline," by Jeffrey Kuhner, July 25, 2009, pp. 1-2). Mr. Obama has proven himself in the most revolting of manners when "Instead of openly supporting Iran's democratic movement,...[he] stood by and watched passively as fascist brown shirts--the paramilitary Basaij--gunned down, arrested and tortured peaceful demonstrators. Nothing will stop Mr. Obama from his policy of diplomatic engagement--even innocent blood being spilled on the streets of Tehran, blood that represents America's and the region's best hope of sweeping away the evil islamic Republic ("The Washington Times," "The Obama Doctrine: Opening a pathway to America's decline," by Jeffrey Kuhner, July 25, 2009, p. 3). Mr. Obama has already done this very same thing in several other places, among them with regard to Communist China where, instead of putting human rights and the harrowing tragedy that is now Tibet high on the agenda, he and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have shirked away from such demoncratic and vital undertakings "for fear of angering Beijing" ("The Washington Times," "The Obama Doctrine: Opening a pathway to America's decline," by Jeffrey Kuhner, July 25, 2009, p. 2). And what of ERETZ YISRAEL? For so long the closest ally of the United States, now a heap of rubble that is expendable for Mr. Obama, and instead his ingratiating the terrorist state--and a vile and blatantly anti-American one at that--HAMAS and his endless bowing and pandering to the likes of the Saudies "whose Islamic edicts were adopted by Hamas and al-Qaeda, [who] determined that 'the highest and most exalted degree [in jihad] is the self-sacrificing jihad [martydom], as it is the most difficult for warriors, demanding of them the greatest self-sacrifice of martyrdom'" ("Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center at the Center for Special Studies (C.S.S.)," "What Drives Saudi Arabia to Persist in Terrorist Financing? Al-Jihad bi-al-Mal--Financial Jihad Against the Infidels," by Lt. Colonel Jonathan D. Halevi, "Jeruslaem Center for Public Affairs," May, 2005, p. 2). And Melanie Phillips, in her article, entitled, "Prepares To Throw Under the Bus," makes the point that "This ["telling Israel to stop building more settlements, dismantle existing outposts and allow Palestinians freedom of movement" ("Spectator," "Prepares To Throw Under the Bus," by Melanie Phillips, May 6, 2009, p. 2)] is all not only evil but exceptionally stupid. The idea that a Palestinian state will help build a coalition against Iran is demonstrably absurd. The Arab states are beside themselves with anxiety about Iran. They want it to be attacked and its nuclear programme stopped. They are desparately fearful that the Obama administration might have decided that it can live with a nuclear Iran" ("Spectator," "Prepares To Throw Under The Bus," by Melanie Phillips, May 6, 2009, p. 2). She adds the "idea that if a Palestinian state comes into being it will be easier to handle Iran, is the opposite of the case: a Palestinian state will be Iran, in the sense that it will be run by Hamas as a proxy for the Islamic Republic. The idea that a Palestine state will not comprimise Israel's security is ludicrous...It [Israel] is not the aggressor here but the victim of aggression that America is now choosing to beat up. In a sane world, one might think the Americans would be piling the pressure on the Palestinians to renounce their genocidal ambitions against Israel, to stop teaching and training their children to hate and kill Jews...[and to overcome] Mahmoud Abbas's repeated statements that the Palestinians will never accept Israel as a Jewish state...[which is] the main impediment to peace" ("Spectator," "Prepares To Throw Under The Bus," by Melanie Phillips, May 6, 2009, pp. 2-3). Alll of these problems, and he, Obama, wants to go on out and be a hero, a hero for the Left that says we should be a weaker America, that we should not be the global leader paving the way for democratic governments throughout the world, and in the most callous of fashions, buddying up with anit-Israeli and anti-American Islamists and Arabic nations, while eying Jerusalem as his own badge of honor. "I will contend with them there concerning My people and My possession, Israel, that they dispersed among the nations, and they divided up My land." Obama is in way over his head. His little boat of glory is sinking. The Russians are pressing themselves in and upon him and thrusting him back in the New Cold War that is ongoing despite his weak-kneed efforts to make us all one, all inferior to who and what we can each be; the North Koreans are threatening the world--and the United States--with nuclear weapons and missiles set to launch them; and the Iranians are right upon their heals. He has no experience in foreign policy matters. We have fallen much further back than where we had been in 2008. It is time to face the fact of who and what the bloodthirsty Arabic and Islamic nations and terrorist states are, and to back off from Israel. New Orleans was only a "side-show." I AM an AMERICAN, and I LOVE MY NATION. Time to return to building and supporting the democracies of the world!

Cbmesq should realize there is no "party line" on this website. There are those who believe that the Jewish State of Israel should be the sole possessor and controlling power of the City of David and those who oppose that bitterly. Bush, unlike Obama, never openly declared that Jerusalem should be Palestinian. He at leaast allowed Israel to respond to terror attacks. The State Department of the USA has always been steadfast in its belief that Jews should not have a state of their own. But Harry Truman and that "pillar of Virtue" the UN saw to it that there was one. The State of Israel and Jews have been subject to tsunamis of hate propoganda whose objective is the delegitimization of tjhe Jewish State.

The Arabs were given a state by the UN in 1948 but thought they could grab the whole prize by attacking the new-born nation of Israel but were sadly mistaken. Try as they do they keep on losing territory as the spoils of war. Cbmesq, there is no party line here. I credit Obama for his honesty in openly expressing his desire to destroy Israel. Bush and Rice were closet bigots.
This site does not censor peoples thoughts and opinions as long as they are couched in civil language.

Back in WW2 The Jews were known as Palestinians. There was a Jewish Brigade who fought alongside The British forces. They were known as The Palestinian Brigade. As for Bush he did not believe what our LORD said about the Jewish People so he was nor a True Real Christian. Along with other Presidents, members of Congress, Judges of Supreme Court, They all trashed The Constitution. This allowed Obama to be elected even though he was not born in USA becoming the False President.

It's nice that I get attacked for pointing out that the pro-Palestinian web site was the creation of the Bush administration. I don't understand the Jews for JeezBush for worship the man who is the father of the "palestinian" state, the man who said "the world needs a palestinian state," that this state must destroy Israel by being "contiguous," who said his "heart weeps for the suffering of the palestinian people," who in front of the world demanded that "Israel stop the daily humiliations of the palestinian peoplem," and so on ad nauseum. Yet by some twisted logic, this man who stuck a knife into Israel is beloved, and Obama, who has done nothing to harm Israel, is vilified. It's a mystery to me. Of course, you have the purely ignorant and hateful, like the poster who wrote that Obama isn't an American citizen, and thus sides with the rabid anti-Semite Andy Martin.

To cbmesq:

Every day Obama hurts Israel by meddling in the internal affairs of the Jewish State. I don't know where you get the idea that the "phonies" who post here worship Bush junior. It must be a difficult life for you knowing everything and having to suffer all the ignorance of people with whom you disagree. Israel will do what it has to in order to survive. I praise the Israeli prime minister for his courage in standing up to Obama's intrusions.

In exactly what way does Obama "meddle in the internal affairs of Israel every day"? Is this different than what previous presidents have done? For example, Reagan condemned Israel for bombing the reactor in Iraq, and sactioned Israel. Bush I sanctioned Israel for the "settlements." Bush II demanded that Israel stop the "daily humiliations of the Palestinians," and his Secretary of State Condaloser Rice demanded that Israel build the "palestinians" a "beautiful house"!

cbmesq is obviously a revisionist, who sees what he wants, let's ignore this ignoramus. The results are clear, Obama does not want to protect America, he wants to build a legacy for himself, he has a self-image of a "savior" he believes his beliefs are superior and he wants to impose his vision on the USA. Foolish voters who fell for his "fantasy" as Bill Clinton noted. We are in deep trouble in the USA and if we do not stop Obama he will not be satisfied with hurting the USA he will hurt Israel and he could end up hurting the world.

Sansan, I suggest you don't "assume" as it makes an "ass" out of you. You surmise a lot of stuff, including about me, with absolutely no basis. Bush boasted he was the first president to call for creation of a palestinian state, etc. That's not revisionism, that's fact. I am a lawyer, and deal in facts. You say I see what I want to see, and then go on to say that Obama doesn't care about America, he cares about his legacy. So he wants he legacy to be he was a president who didn't care about America? I'd say that you're the one who only sees what he wants to see.

To cbmesq: Obama's meddling consists of repeated demands for Israel to stop building settlements in and around Jerusalem and for that matter, all over Israel. The self-labeled Palestinians were given a state in 1948 but then as now they thought they could grab the whole area for themselves. They were mistaken and were defeated several times with the end result of losing a lot of territory. Ehud Barak offered them 98 percent of the West Bank and other sizeable concessions which Arafat refused to take.

Israel will never make those concessions again. The self-loathing left wing Jews were removed from office. A one- state solution is what the Arabs want.with Jews as dhimmis. Never will that happen. Israel like the US acts in its own interests which is as it should be. Why pray tell does every country think that Israel affairs are subject to their scrutiny?

Nobody on this website thinks that George W was a friend to the Jewish people. Does anybody remember James Baker's famous statement about Jewish voters. "----- the Jews, they don't vote for us anyway! Obama is no better or worse thyan George W.

If George W. Bush, the George Washington of the "palestinian" state, the man who proudly proclaimed he was the first president to call for creation of a palestinian state, is "no better or worse" than Obama, then why the constant rants about every breath Obama takes, while George W. Bush was given a free pass as he sowed the seeds for Israel's destruction?

Forget about Bush W. Obama is the snake were dealing with NOW.

To Cbmesq-
George Bush is no longer on the world stage. He did great damage and many of us wanted to believe that he wanted Israel to be allowed to exist in a peaceful Middle East. We are no longer interested in him or his antics. It is important to live in the present and fight this miserable Chicago-Richard Dailey clone. In the present WHERE WE ARE LIVING he is a great threat to Israel and Jews in particular. It is time to leave Bush in the dust bin of history. Something of interest for you cbmesq. Obama gives the anti-Semite Mary Robinson the nation's highest civilian award.
So much for your Obama.

And George Bush gave the anti-Semite James "F*** the Jews" Baker the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1991). Some Jews didn't learn from Bush I's anit-Semitism, and voted for his treacherous son. So I mention Bush II because:
1. if we don't learn from the past, we are doomed to repeat it, and
2. It is disengenuous to blame Obama for the disaster Bush II created, or to hold him to an impossibly high standard that Bush II, a hero to so many beknighted Jews, never lived up to.

To cbmesq-

I have learned from history and that is why I condemn Obama since he is so very reminiscent of Bush II. Except for Harry Truman, Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon,Israel has had short shrift from American presidents.

There will never be a palestinian state since they will never acknowledge Israel's existence or its right to exist. When the palestinian Arabs have had enough of poverty and violence which won't happen soon, there will be a slim chance for a peaceful solution. The Arabs who are Israelis are prospering. The Arabs who choose defiance will get more misery. Israel is just simply not going to disappear.

By the way, I am not disingenuous!

Reagan? Horrible on Israel--condemned Israel for blowing up the Iraq nuclear reactor, and issued sanctions against Israel for same. Some friend!
Nixon? The rabid anti-Semite? Who was willing to let Israel be destroyed, until he realized that that would give hegemony to the USSR among their client states, the Arabs. So at the last second he sent arms to Israel. Some friend!
Now Jimmy Carter, although an anti-Semite, worked for Soviet Jewry, and brokered a peace treaty that lasts until this day.
And of course Bill Clinton, our only philo-Semite President, labored mightily to obtain peace for Israel, but failed thanks to Arab intransigence.

To cbmesq-

Please try to get this through your noodle. Jews are and always have been despised by all nations and all presidents to varying degrees. It is naive to think that Bill Clinton is a philo-Semite. He labored mightily to leave a legacy of some worth to compensate for his sexual philandering at which he was caught.

. Obama is the snake we are dealing with now. You remind me of the Jews who worshiped FDR. Hard-line Democrats who somehow overlooked his refusal to allow the ship St. Louis with a cargo of refugee Jews on board to enter the US for asylum from Hitler. Hitler said no nation would let them enter and he was correct. To this day Jews still think highly of FDR.

I could argue about Reagan and Nixon but it is a waste of time since the pevaricating snake Obama is now doing all he and his muslim brethren can do in order to delegitamize the Jewish State.and steal Jerusalem for the very same peoples who desecrated the city when they were occupying it post 1948. Obama is the consummate chameleon. He is thin-skinned and hard-headed and worst of all he is bullying Israel. The State of Israel will still be here growing and thriving when Obama becomes just a bad memory. May G-d Almighty Grant peace and Preserve the Holy City.
