The Obama Administration Sides With Hamas

By Joseph A. Klein
Friday, June 4, 2010

Hamas’ allies have achieved what they set out to do – to push Israel into a corner by provoking a confrontation against the blockade-breaker flotilla of ships and then using Israel’s response to force an end to the blockade against the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.

If the humanitarian needs of the people of Gaza were the first concern of the Free Gaza Movement and their co-sponsors from Turkey and elsewhere, they would have accepted Israel’s repeated offers to allow their cargo to be delivered to Gaza after the Israelis had an opportunity to inspect to ensure that there were no weapons aboard. They refused because embarrassing Israel was their primary objective.

Israel’s blockade, which Egypt was also instituting at its border, is perfectly legal under international law according to the law of blockade which was derived from customary international law, codified in the 1909 Declaration of London and updated in 1994 in a legally recognized document called the “San Remo Manual on International Law Applicable to Armed Conflicts at Sea.â€

I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

~ Barack Obama, from his second biography– "Audacity of Hope" (2007)

That statement spells out Obama's feeling about Isreal and Jews.

Israel was too easy on flotilla

Weakness invites aggression. Any sign of weakness emboldens an aggressor.

I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

~ Barack Obama, from his second biography– "Audacity of Hope" (2007)


That tiny red dot in the center of the map is Israel, which the Bible says God loves with an everlasting love. The green areas are the Muslim states sworn by the Quran to Israel's complete annihilation.


While the Muslim world wants a nuclear-free Middle East, Muslim nations have pledged their lives for a Jewish-free Middle East.

The international catastrophe of a Gaza-bound flotilla of six boats from Turkey was co-sponsored by the Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH), a Turkish Hamas front group that wants to overthrow the government of Turkey and establish Shariah law, and the Muslim Brotherhood, the Egyptian-based grandfather of all modern Muslim terrorist groups.

The Israel Defense Forces boarded the largest vessel after repeatedly warning the ships that they would not be allowed to breach Israel's naval blockade because Israel suspected that the ships were carrying weapons to terrorist groups like Hamas, the PLO and Hezbollah – weapons used to kill Jewish civilians.

Obviously, self-defense was justified when IDF soldiers first boarded the largest Turkish boat and were savagely beaten by "peace activists" with poles, kicked, shot and even thrown to a lower deck – a 30 foot fall!

WND's Aaron Klein gets to the heart of Israel's decline in his book, "The Late Great State of Israel: How Enemies Within and Without Threaten the Jewish Nation's Survival"

In unison came the parade of Horribles: the United Nations, the Muslim states, liberal Democrats and virtually every nation in the world to condemn Israel for its "massacre," according to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and "inhumane Zionist regime action," according to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

After several days of failing to act decisively to defend our hapless ally Israel against the savage aggression of Muslim terrorists disguised as "humanitarians," President Obama stayed true to his international policy found in his second biography: "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction," calling Israel's attack on the Turkish flotilla "tragic."

Why is it "tragic" for any nation to zealously defend its borders? I can clearly see the deadly serpent of liberalism slithering throughout this international crisis. Historically speaking, since the 1930s the political left has essentially transformed the Western world into singular socialist states. Now, with the rebirth of militant Islamic terrorism concurrent with the rebirth of Israel in May 1948, this Liberal-Fascist Axis and Liberal-Muslim Axis I wrote about in previous articles is now self-evident and approaching its full supremacy.

The Muslim states and the Arab League of Nations are very shrewd and have been very successful in the propaganda war against Israel and in cultivating positive press for their anti-Semitic madness, turning the entire world against the Jewish state.

In an earlier article, I posited that liberalism is political madness because, despite its laudable beginnings during the Age of Enlightenment, liberalism has since devolved into a totalitarian political cult masquerading as a political philosophy. The corollary of liberalism is Islam, which in my opinion is a totalitarian religious cult masquerading as a hegemonic political philosophy. Because of their fascist tendencies, liberalism and Islam are two sides of the same coin.

Dr. Lyle H. Rossiter Jr., a noted psychiatrist, in his best-selling 2008 book, "The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness," wrote: "The roots of liberalism – and its associated madness – can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind."

Do you understand why I call this diabolical duo, "The Liberal-Muslim Axis"? Why have almost 200 countries of the United Nations arisen to condemn Israel within 48 hours of the Israeli-Turkey confrontation in Gaza, yet refuse to condemn North Korea for wantonly killing 46 South Korean sailors in a torpedo attack in March and allows Iran to possess enough uranium to build two nuclear bombs?

Why do I call liberalism Israel's mortal enemy? Because Israel is more concerned with pleasing the world than protecting its own citizens. Instead of sinking all six Turkish ships when they refused to obey Israel's blockade, the IDF entered the ships with paintballs and a "no gunfire" order. They were only allowed to protect themselves when soldiers had their guns taken away by the Muslim terrorists and used against the IDF.

Have we learned nothing from British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain placating Hitler in 1938? His gutless appeasement to Hitler's naked aggression regarding the annexation of the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia and the Anschluss of Austria only precipitated the catastrophe of World War II. On a lesser scale, Israel should never have appeased the Palestinians by relinquishing Gaza in 2005 where the terrorist group Hamas quickly seized absolute power through fraudulent elections. Israel's reward? Hamas has bombed Israel with over 10,000 rocket attacks.

In the new movie "Robin Hood," the French king was fighting on the shores of England and, despite superior forces, was in a losing effort. He said: "This doesn't look like a country fighting against itself; we'll have to return at a later time." The king got back into his ships and returned to France. That kind of fighting spirit is what Israel needs to demonstrate to the world.

By embracing liberalism, a fascist totalitarian cult rooted in perversity and political madness, Israel has essentially been at war with herself since her rebirth in May 1948, thus making it easier for her enemies to demoralize and defeat her. However, there is a better way for the Jewish people to prosper. God said to Israel through the prophet Ezekiel:

… And when I passed by thee [Israel], and saw thee polluted in thine own blood [entangled in sin], I said onto thee when thou wast in thy blood, LIVE; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, LIVE!
Israel, return to the God of your forefathers; forsake liberalism, socialism and trying to please your enemies … and LIVE!
