Obama Vows Staunch Support For Israel

Presumptive Democratic Nominee Tells Pro-Israel Activists He Would Isolate Hamas Unless Group Renounces Terrorism

(CBS/ AP)  Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama assured Jewish leaders Wednesday that he will be a steadfast ally of Israel and will not negotiate with terrorist groups, a response to attacks leveled against him recently by Republicans.

Only hours after securing his party's nomination, Obama used a previously scheduled speech to 7,000 pro-Israel activists to try to ease concerns that some Jewish voters have about him and his stance on Middle East matters. He pointedly criticized Sen. John McCain, his GOP opponent this fall, and rebutted claims that he underestimates the threat that Iran poses and would naively enter into unwise talks with U.S. adversaries.

"As president I will never compromise when it comes to Israel's security," Obama told an annual gathering of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a major Jewish bipartisan group.

McCain, President Bush and some Democrats have criticized Obama for saying he would talk with leaders of hostile nations such as Iran. At the AIPAC gathering, Obama outlined limits he sees for such negotiations.

"We must isolate Hamas unless and until they renounce terrorism, recognize Israel's right to exist, and abide by past agreements," he said of the Palestinian opposed to Israel. "There is no room at the negotiating table for terrorist organizations."

"Contrary to the claims of some, I have no interest in sitting down with our adversaries just for the sake of talking," Obama said. But if elected, he said, "I would be willing to lead tough and principled diplomacy with the appropriate Iranian leaders at a time and place of my choosing if, and only if it can advance the interests of the United States."

"I will always keep the threat of military action on the table to defend our security and our ally Israel," he said.

When McCain addressed the AIPAC group Tuesday, he ridiculed Obama for suggesting he would sit down with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. McCain such a session would gain little "except an earful of anti-Semitic rants and a worldwide audience for a man who denies one Holocaust and talks before frenzied crowds about starting another."

Obama said Wednesday there is no greater threat to Israel than Iran, which "supports violent extremists" and "pursues a nuclear capability that could spark a dangerous arms race." All those threats were known in 2002, he said, yet the Bush administration "ignored it and instead invaded and occupied Iraq."

He said McCain "refuses to understand or acknowledge the failure of the policy that he would continue. He criticizes my willingness to use strong diplomacy, but offers only an alternate reality one where the war in Iraq has somehow put Iran on its heels. The truth is the opposite."

Obama was followed on stage by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. She did not formally concede the nomination to him but told the audience "he will be a good friend to Israel."

Some Jewish voters are wary of Obama partly because his former pastor praised Black Muslim leader Louis Farrakhan, who has made anti-Semitic remarks. Obama has disavowed the pastor's intemperate remarks and later resigned from that church.

Obama cited e-mails "filled with tall tales and dire warnings about a certain candidate for president," a reference to false accusations that he is a Muslim with a hidden agenda. "Let me know if you see this guy named Barack Obama, because he sounds pretty scary," he said.

Obama also clarified a story about his great uncle, which he has gotten some heat over in the past week, reports CBS News reporter Maria Gavrilovic.

At a Memorial Day event in Las Cruces, New Mexico, Obama told a group of veterans that his great uncle helped liberate Auschwitz. His critics were quick to point out that the story had to be false since it was the Russian Army that liberated the camp. Although Obama’s campaign called this a blunder and corrected the story, Obama clarified it head on today.

“My great uncle had been a part of the 89th Infantry Division, the first Americans to reach a Nazi concentration camp. They liberated Ohrdruf, part of Buchenwald, on an April day in 1945,” Obama said. “The horrors of that camp go beyond our capacity to imagine.”

Obama clearly impressed some in the massive hall.

"He had me in tears, this feeling for an understanding of Israel's predicament," said Leonard Eisenfeld, a Connecticut pediatrician whose son was killed in a Hamas bus bombing in Jerusalem in 1996. He said he respects McCain, but is now more open to Obama, calling him a "good soul" in Yiddish.

But Evelyn Mottsman of Pittsburgh said it "disturbs a lot of people that he thinks diplomacy is possible" with Iran.

The Effendi is going to promise the Jewish community anything they want to hear. His agenda and his platform and his record state otherwise. It would behoove the Jewish community to check out this fools record before the take anything he says seriously. He is not to be trusted. He has the most liberal record in the Senate in his short two years. Doesn''t vote on anything but states Present so as to be sure there is nothing you can point at him (slick dude), he associates with radicals, fanatics, thugs and criminals. Takes money from them and launched his career by virture of questionable associations. They he sits there and parses from one minute to the next his associations, get''s a free pass from the press and has fools applaud his every gesture. I wouldn''t trust this S.O.B. with an ant farm let alone my country. He''s an appeaser and a pacifier and rather ignorant.

I think you should stick your ********* right up Effendi Snob-oma''s azz.

The guys got a 100% liberal rating. The Dimnowits violate the constitution on a daily basis by appointing activists judges who push a social agenda through without the consent of the people. They create wedge issues and you have the balls to sit there and say the President violated the constitution. You are so full of ***** that I wish you get an Obama for President. You will then see full Marxism in action. No rights, just continual endless government mandates. There aren''t enough rich people in this country that will be able to handle the tsunami of taxation this S.O.B. and Pewlosi and the Dimnowits won''t impose on the people. They will keep our borders open, allow for all sorts of programs that will destroy the family and society, push their abortion agenda and well, why don''t you just check out what''s going on in England. That''s what you stupid jackazzes can''t comprehend. This country is going Old European Marxist. Guess what, the people aren''t going to stand for it you messed up ignorant arrogant jerk.

The Anti Defamation League, a New York-based group that fights anti-Semitism, praised the arrest of the (Neo-Nazis)


"The suspicion that immigrants to Israel could have been acting in praise of (Nazis and Hitler) is anathema to the Jewish State and is to be Repelled," the organisation said in a statement. "Members of the group were reportedly from the Former...

Soviet Union and were Religiously Identified As...

`Christians`

"The Tragic Irony in this is that they would have been (Chosen for Annihilation by the Nazis) they strive to emulate."

The ADL said that the phenomenon appeared to be marginal and was more a reaction to anti-Russian discrimination in Israel.

Israeli politicians reacted with anger to the revelations and proposed several changes in the law to prevent a repeat of neo-Nazi actions. Effi Eitam of the National Religious Party said he would propose a bill in the Knesset that would restrict the rights of non-Jews to emigrate to Israel.

Ahmed Tibi, an Arab Israeli member of the Knesset, said that the case illustrated the absurdity of Israeli laws which give extensive rights to newcomers from Russia while denying them to Arab residents who had lived in the region for generations.

Many Russians, have their own supermarkets where pork is available, unlike in the majority of stores. Russians feel they are victims of discrimination in Israel and many are denied the right to marry by the Jewish authorities.

Police named the leader of the (Neo-Nazi Gang) as Eli Boanitov, 19, from Petah Tikvah, a city next to Tel Aviv.

Boanitov, who was known as "Eli the Nazi", told police: "I won''t ever give up. I was a Nazi and I will stay a Nazi, until we kill them all I will not rest."

In one conversation recorded by the police, Boanitov tells one of his fellow gang members: "My Grandfather was a Half-Jewboy. I will not have children so that this trash will not be born with even a Tiny Per Cent of JewBoy Blood."

During the investigation, police seized video recordings of the suspects attacking foreign workers.


The search also revealed photographs of the suspects wearing Nazi clothing, using the Nazi salute and calling for the burning of Jews. Explosive materials were found in the home of one of the suspects.

Police also found recordings of conversations between Gang Members, in one they planned how to celebrate the F|hrer''s birthday, and in another they planned a Nazi ceremony at Yad Vashem, the Holocaust museum in Jerusalem.

Conal Urquhart in Jerusalem The Guardian, Monday September 10 2007 Article historyPolice in Israel have uncovered a (Neo-Nazi Ring) which was responsible for (Vandalising Synagogues) and carrying out attacks on (Jews and Foreign Workers) in Israel, a court was told yesterday.


The group of 8 Russian immigrants aged between 18 and 21 appeared in court following an 18-month investigation into attacks on two synagogues in which swastikas were painted on the walls of the buildings.

The men covered their heads with their shirts during the hearing, revealing arms tattooed with Nazi imagery.

More than a (Million People) from the former Soviet Union have emigrated to Israel, which has a population of Seven Million, since 1990, taking advantage of Israel''s Law of Return which allows anyone to claim citizenship if they have a Jewish grandparent.

Many of the new immigrants have little connection to Judaism and Emigrated for Economic reasons.

Many Russians live in large communities in Israel''s cities in which they have little interaction with other Israelis.

Police had no immediate comment.

Israeli authorities and Orthodox Jews frown on missionary activity aimed at Jews, though in most cases it is not illegal.

Still, the concept of a Jew burning books is abhorrent to many in Israel because of the association with Nazis torching piles of Jewish books during the Holocaust of World War II.

Earlier this year, the TEENAGE SON of a prominent Christian Missionary was SERIOUSLY WOUNDED when a PACKAGED BOMB to the family''s West Bank home WENT OFF IN HIS HANDS !!.

Last year, Arsonists Burst into a Jerusalem church used by Messianic Jews and set the Building on FIRE, raising suspicions that (Jewish Extremists) were behind the ATTACK.

No one claimed responsibility, but the same church was BURNED DOWN 25 years ago by Ultra-Orthodox Jewish Extremists.

He said he regretted the burning of the books, but called it a "commandment" to burn materials that urge Jews to convert.

"I certainly don''t denounce the burning of the booklets," he said. "I denounce those who distributed the booklets."

Jews worship from the Old Testament, including the Five Books of Moses and the writings of the ancient prophets. Christians revere the Old Testament as well as the New Testament, which contains the ministry of Jesus.

Calev Myers, an attorney who represents Messianic Jews, or Jews who accept Jesus as their savior, demanded in an interview with Army Radio that all those involved be put on trial.

JERUSALEM: Orthodox Jews set fire to hundreds of copies of the New Testament in the (Latest Act of Violence Against Christian Missionaries) in the Holy Land.

Or Yehuda Deputy Mayor Uzi Aharon said missionaries recently entered a neighborhood in the predominantly religious town of 34,000 in central Israel, distributing hundreds of New Testaments and missionary material.

NOTE: After receiving complaints, Aharon said, he got into a loudspeaker car last Thursday and drove through the neighborhood, urging people to turn over the material to Jewish religious students who went door to door to collect it.

The books were DUMPED into a PILE and SET AFIRE in a lot near a synagogue, he said.

The Israeli Maariv daily reported Tuesday that hundreds of Jewish religious school students took part in the book-burning. But Aharon told The Associated Press that only a few students were present, and that he was not there when the books were torched. Not all of the New Testaments that were collected were burned, but hundreds were, he said.

snakes on the plane airforce one,,,
snakes in the whitehouse,,,

Once upon a time there was a serpent who was badly injured in a fight with another animal. It managed to slither away to safety but would have surely died if a benevolent man had not seen it suffering by the side of the road. The goodly man carefully wrapped the snake up and took it to his house, where he bestowed the kindest and gentlest care on the snake until it was healed and could return to the wild. Just as the man was releasing the serpent back into the grass, the ungrateful snake turned and bit him on the hand.

"What did you do that for?" cried the man, who knew that the bite of this particular snake was usually fatal. "Didn''t I take care of you when no one else would?"

The snake shrugged (no small feat for a snake!) and replied to the benevolent--and now doomed-- man, "What did you expect? You knew I was a snake when you picked me up."
