Jerusalem Post And US Conservatives PUBLISH HATE-PIECE Accusing President Obama Of ‘JEW HATRED’

[Segami]

So begins a hateful article by Israeli Columnist Caroline Glick published in the Jerusalem Post, and republished by conservative U.S. sites like The Minority Report. The Conservative Papers site even republished the article with an image of Obama next to a burning Israeli flag.



So what did Obama to to invoke such ire? It’s all about Netanyahu’s speech to Congress

Glick explains:

Today, the most outstanding example of Obama’s exploitation of anti-Semitic tropes to diminish US support for Israel is his campaign to delegitimize Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu ahead of his scheduled speech before the joint houses of Congress on March 3.

According to Glick, “Netanyahu did not breach White House protocol” by going behind the President’s back with John Boehner to arrange a speech undermining the President’s peace negotiations with Iran. In fact, she argues:

The only one that behaved disrespectfully and rudely was Obama in his shabby and slanderous treatment of Netanyahu.

But even if this were true (which it isn’t), how is it anti-semitic?

First of all, if all goes as he hopes, the media and his party members will use his demonization of Netanyahu’s character as a means to dismiss the warnings that Netanyahu will clearly sound in his address.

Second, by boycotting Netanyahu and encouraging Democrats to do the same, Obama is mainstreaming the anti-Semitic boycott, divestment and sanctions movement to isolate Israel.

So, in Glick’s world – it is now anti-semitic to delegitimize an attempt to undermine U.S. foreign policy, and boycott a state in breach of international law. Of course, neither of these things is even remotely anti-semitic. Furthermore, to allege such a thing does an enormous dis-service to those who face the everyday horror of actual anti-semitism. Bigotry is very real, but it has not been on display from President Obama on this issue. Take a look at the racially-charged responses to Glick’s article however, and you will find an abundance of bigotry and vitriol directed not only at Obama, but at Jewish Democrats in America.

There’s a Muslim living in The White House?








Obama Worse Than Hitler?

1. PNAC Post

Richard Perle, the Prince of Darkness

http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Richard_N._Perle

Guy knows there's money to be made off war.

Remember Richard (PNAC/Another Pearl Harbor) Perle? Just after September 11 and the Washington-Wall Street axis of war profiteering was heating up, Perle hit up Adnan (Iran-Contra/BCCI) Khashoggi for $100 million to make his new "Trireme Partnerships" take off.



Khashoggi's money would help launch the Carlyle Group-like investment group Perle founded. The petromoney was not for arms, directly. It was for investing in companies that were going to be making a killing off of homeland security related areas.

Interesting selling point: Perle already had secured financing from in from Boeing and some other bigwigs like Henry Kissinger.

One of the most important articles The New Yorker ever published:

Lunch with the Chairman

by Seymour M. Hersh
17 March 2003

At the peak of his deal-making activities, in the nineteen-seventies, the Saudi-born businessman Adnan Khashoggi brokered billions of dollars in arms and aircraft sales for the Saudi royal family, earning hundreds of millions in commissions and fees. Though never convicted of wrongdoing, he was repeatedly involved in disputes with federal prosecutors and with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and in recent years he has been in litigation in Thailand and Los Angeles, among other places, concerning allegations of stock manipulation and fraud. During the Reagan Administration, Khashoggi was one of the middlemen between Oliver North, in the White House, and the mullahs in Iran in what became known as the Iran-Contra scandal. Khashoggi subsequently claimed that he lost ten million dollars that he had put up to obtain embargoed weapons for Iran which were to be bartered (with Presidential approval) for American hostages. The scandals of those times seemed to feed off each other: a congressional investigation revealed that Khashoggi had borrowed much of the money for the weapons from the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (B.C.C.I.), whose collapse, in 1991, defrauded thousands of depositors and led to years of inquiry and litigation.

Khashoggi is still brokering. In January of this year, he arranged a private lunch, in France, to bring together Harb Saleh al-Zuhair, a Saudi industrialist whose family fortune includes extensive holdings in construction, electronics, and engineering companies throughout the Middle East, and Richard N. Perle, the chairman of the Defense Policy Board, who is one of the most outspoken and influential American advocates of war with Iraq.

The Defense Policy Board is a Defense Department advisory group composed primarily of highly respected former government officials, retired military officers, and academics. Its members, who serve without pay, include former national-security advisers, Secretaries of Defense, and heads of the C.I.A. The board meets several times a year at the Pentagon to review and assess the country’s strategic defense policies.

Perle is also a managing partner in a venture-capital company called Trireme Partners L.P., which was registered in November, 2001, in Delaware. Trireme’s main business, according to a two-page letter that one of its representatives sent to Khashoggi last November, is to invest in companies dealing in technology, goods, and services that are of value to homeland security and defense. The letter argued that the fear of terrorism would increase the demand for such products in Europe and in countries like Saudi Arabia and Singapore.

A bit on the new TRIREME business...

At Hollinger, Big Perks in A Small World

By Steven Pearlstein
Wednesday, November 19, 2003; Page E01

It's amazing the coincidences you find digging into Hollinger International, the publishing empire that includes Chicago's Sun-Times and London's Daily Telegraph and is quickly slipping from Conrad Black's control.

Let's start with the board of directors, which includes Barbara Amiel, Conrad's wife, whose right-wing rants have managed to find an outlet in Hollinger publications.

And there's Washington superhawk Richard Perle, who heads Hollinger Digital, the company's venture capital arm. Seems that Hollinger Digital put $2.5 million in a company called Trireme Partners, which aims to cash in on the big military and homeland security buildup. As luck would have it, Trireme's managing partner is none other than . . . Richard Perle.

Perle, of course, has been pushing hard for just such a military buildup from his other perch at the Pentagon's secretive and influential Defense Policy Board, where there are a number of other Friends of Hollinger.

Obama's up against it, these warmongers and traitors.

[Fred Sanders]

2. With all due respect, all the DU posts about all those asshats that hate Obama is getting...boring.

Have folks listened to Obama's speech today on National Parks, and his two on extremism - now that is worth wasting time and space over?

Do we really need to go overseas to find more? By opinion writers?

[spanone]

3. the internet has given hellacious insight into the minds of 'ordinary' americans

it's a sick fucking country.

[Marr]

4. This move by Netanyahoo needs to bring long term ramifications for Israel.

From Democratic and Republican administrations alike.

We're watching a junior partner openly attempt to sabotage a bit of sane US foreign policy. Domestic politics aside, that should make any US citizen question the real value of this ally. It would be in our best interest to set a harsh example here, imho.

[Segami]

6. "...Every year, the U.S. provides Israel with $3bn in military aid..

".....never mind the diplomatic cover in the UN Security Council that prevents the state being held to account for it’s perpetual breach of international law.

In response:

Israel’s Prime Minister is working with conservative lawmakers to undermine the foreign policy of the American President.

Mainstream Israeli columnists are calling the American President an anti-semite.


Do these strike you as the actions of an ally?

It’s time for Obama to take off the gloves and hit Israel where it hurts......"

[Dwight42]

8. And don't forget the USS Liberty

Israel attempted to destroy an American ship in 1967 to get the US into the war with Egypt.

Many sailors died and were injured before one man managed to get an antenna patched together and called for help which brought the US fleet into play and Israel backed off by saying they didn't know that a ship flying the Stars and Stripes was an American ship.

LBJ was very complicit in not going after the Israel Government for such an egregious act of war which leads one to question which is the dog and which is the tail.

Israel is a good ally, and the only democracy in the area is all hogwash from the UK and US press. In fact, among the world people Israel, because of way it was created and its leadership is the major problem in the Middle East.

With allies like Israel and Saudi Arabia, who needs an enemy.

[madokie]

5. I'd have to dig pretty fucking deep to find any sympathy for nutinyahoo

and or Israel. I'd like to see us quit giving them our tax dollars, our technology etc. fuck'm

What the hell have they done for us in 66 years anyway??

[tularetom]

7. Finally the US has a President with the cojones to stand up to this douchebag

And unsurprisingly they find a way to bring out the old anti-semitism canard against him.

I don't think Obama is going to back down and the end result of this clusterfuck will be to humiliate Boner and cause nuttyyahoo to lose his election.

And maybe in the long term the US will no longer be blackmailed by this thug nation.
