Orly Taitz: Obama policies are 'clear and present danger to Israel'

By Benjamin L. Hartman, Haaretz Correspondent.

Speaking to Haaretz on Monday, Taitz slammed what she calls Obama's support for Hamas, citing an executive order signed by the U.S. president shortly after taking office, which funneled $900 million to the Gaza Strip. To Taitz, the executive order was a form of political subterfuge meant to prop up the enemies of the United States and Israel, in spite of widespread American Jewish support for the new president.

"During the campaign, Obama was telling American Jews that he is for Israel... but sure enough, just as he was elected, look at his first actions, he issued an executive order to give $900 million to Gaza with no preconditions."

Taitz says that the money given to Hamas, which "has declared war on Israel and the United States," will not be used to help the people of the Gaza Strip but rather to build Qassam rockets, posing a serious threat to the State of Israel.

She believes Obama poses a threat to Israel not only because of his support of radical Islamic groups such as Hamas, but also because of his "radical socialist" policies, that will bring the United States to "totalitarianism and Stalinism." According to Taitz, these policies "pose a threat to all democracies, not only Israel."

2. Orly Taitz and AIPAC - TPM

Taitz appears haggard and even more disturbed than usual in her MSNBC interview with David Schuster, who charged in a question at the end of the interview that Taitz refused a ride to MSNBC's affiliate in Tel Aviv the same day because the driver appeared to be a Muslim. A Soviet-born holder of dual US/Israeli citizenship, Taitz is on record with the Orange County Register stating that Israel should not merely defeat but "exterminate" its Arab enemies, whatever "collateral damage" may occur among innocent Arab civilians (see also Tablet). Having wondered previously why an immigrant from the former Soviet Union would be as obsessed with Obama's birth certificate as any down-home American redneck, I'm beginning to to think it might just be a case of Transatlantic Islamophobia.

Orly Taitz claims that she is merely a "lawyer," with a purely "legal" interest in the details of Obama's birth, but I obviously suspect there's more to her Obama birth obsession than this or mere insanity. Taitz hails from a milieu of Soviet-born Israelis among whom far-right, anti-Arab and anti-Muslim sentiment runs much stronger by most accounts than among the general Israeli population, as numerous Israeli and international sources have observed. Witness the rise of Avigdor Lieberman, Soviet-born leader of the far-right Yisrael Beiteinu party, made up mostly of other Soviet-born Israelis with strongly anti-Arab views, many of whom live not in Israel itself but in West Bank settlements; and many of whom really, really don't like Barack Hussein Obama.

Taitz has a documented association with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), a powerful pro-Israel lobby group with close ties to Binyamin Netanyahu's right-wing Likud party, as Allison Hoffman notes in Tablet. I'd be very interested in hearing what sympathies Taitz may have not just for Likud but for Yisrael Beiteinu, and what connections she may have with Soviet-born settlers in the West Bank. As observed above, she is on record saying that Israel's Arab enemies should be "exterminated" rather than merely defeated, and appears to have refused a ride to MSNBC's affiliate in Tel Aviv because she believed the driver to be a Muslim. Like right-wing settlers (see video), Taitz is also fond of calling her critics "nazis" or "brownshirts," as she did with David Schuster in her interview from Tel Aviv. Taitz spoke about her birther activities in a March 1 interview with Israeli National Radio.

Could this be why she has found so much in common with Islamophobic American rednecks who think that Obama is a secret Muslim born in Kenya? Could it also be that America's best interests are not those she has most at heart in her dogged efforts to undermine our president?

"Could this be why she has found so much in common with Islamophobic American rednecks who think that Obama is a secret Muslim born in Kenya? Could it also be that America's best interests are not those she has most at heart in her dogged efforts to undermine our president?"

She's an evil cultist. The Cult of orly taitz.

[tanyev]

27. Oh, Orly, don't sell yourself short.

You're not merely a lawyer, you're also a dentist and a realtor. Never let them forget it, Orly!!!!!

[Trocadero]

3. her meltdown will be spectacular to watch

[davidpdx]

24. I just hope it is caught on tape so we can play it in super slow motion

over and over and over again. Maybe she will tear out what's left of her real hair.

[Kutjara]

4. Wow, she really is a multidimensional loon.

She's bugfuck nuts about a wide range of things. Impressive.

[Sebastian Doyle]

6. I speculated that Oily was a puppet of the Likudist wackjobs in the past

..especially when she headed for Israel immediately after her (fake) Kenya Birth Certificate media blitz. Now that the courts have rejected her birther buffoonery, of course she's gonna play up the "scary muslin hates the jews" card.

[bridgit]

12. There it is. All her drivel when all she needed to do was say which nation she really cared for...

all along cause I'm pretty sure it was never America

[cliffordu]

15. Is she a paid operative of an extremist faction in Israel?

people have wondered who funds her obsessive, futile hysterics.

I dunno what she does for a day job....


Painting Obama as a possible mooslim by proxy/place of birth seems a likely thing to finance

[blondeatlast]

19. Could they be that stupid? I suppose so, but as soon as the judge belts her hiney for

contempt--and/or she gets disbarred, they've wasted an AWFUL lot of money.

But the damn thing is entertaining.
