'President Obama's policies are a clear and present danger to Israel' says... Orly Taitz
Just what we needed. The chief birther is becoming popular in Israel (Hat Tip: Memeorandum). Since her explosive MSNBC appearance, the "birther" movement has largely faded, supplanted by the health care debate and a new, more-vocal stream of detractors swarming the town hall meetings on health care, leaving Taitz and her movement as yesterday's news; outside of Israel that is.By the way, she's not a native Israeli either. She was born in Moldova. So was Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman. Hmmm.
Over the last two weeks, Taitz has been featured in a segment on Channel 10 television's popular nightly news show "London and Kirschenbaum," filmed a segment for the far-right Arutz 7 Web site and recorded a show for their radio channel, was featured in a three-page article in mass circulation daily Ma'ariv, and was the subject of a feature on Channel 1 TV.
Israel's Russian press has also taken notice, and interviewed Taitz for a feature for Russian radio and Israel's Russian-language Channel 9. Taitz will also be the subject of a lengthy article in "Vesty," Israel's largest Russian-language newspaper.
When asked if her reception has been more positive in Israel, the polyglot Taitz (she speaks English, Russian, Hebrew, Romanian, and Spanish) said in both the United States and Israel she has been met by widespread support, albeit most of it expressed privately.
"I think the vast majority of the population [in Israel] is supportive. There are some leftists, and some people in the media who are pro-Obama, but even they in private will say they're with me."
In Israel on a month-long vacation to celebrate her parents' 50th wedding anniversary, Taitz has watched from afar as the "birther" phenomenon gained steam in the United States, only to be largely supplanted by the debate over health care.
Whether Obama was born in the United States is no longer relevant - the electoral college certified him as President, and as I understand this arcane field of American law, that's the end of the argument.
There are plenty of solid reasons to oppose Obama, whether you're a supporter of Israel or not. We don't need to go off the deep end. Sane, rational opposition to Obama on policy grounds is much more likely to lead to his defeat in 2012 than the screaming hysteria of Orly Taitz.
Please don't look fellow Israelis - she's not going to do us any good.

Israel doesn't need moonbats. What Obama is doing should be clear enough to Israelis to reject him and his policies. Orly Taitz doesn't need to tell the country what it already knows.

I am a life long democrat that wishes to see Obama's real birth certificate
We have been told it exists by both the Governor of HI and Obama
So show it already and shut us up...
As for being the most transparent president ever...
utter nonsense..
None of his writings from college have ever been released....
There is doubt in 25% of America that our POTUS is a natural born citizen...
JUST to help HEAL America he should be honest and forthright...
Leaders LEAD by setting a high bar of ethics and morals....
Time for the Jr Representative from South Chicago to STEP up and BE A MAN...
what is occupation,
please post your credentials online
you are not a life long dem.
obama could never have become president were he not a native born american...unless you believe that both the cia and fbi are totally incompetent and corrupt
obama is a native born american, man landed on the moon, and there is no such thing as a palestinian
these are truths
oh and orly taitz is a racist nutjob who got all her degrees through mail order
Wrong, very wrong. Obama's eligibility should be top priority right now, certainly for August, while there's a chance.
Carl, you say:
"Whether Obama was born in the United States is no longer relevant" -- but that just shows you do not even understand what the issue is (natural born citizenship), but are merely repeating the Obama talking point to make this about place of birth!
Sure, continue to fight health care & all the rest, but the only hope to avoid irreversible damage for U.S. is Obama's removal.
Orly Taitz regularly gets death threats, hackers, harrassment to herself & family, & doing all of this sacrificially & all things considered is doing a great job. Your ignorant insults are truly shameful. Just the lowest.
And fyi, Obama is 100% definitely not a natural born citizen, he was British at birth. Go learn something about it before you do more damage (we're even right now awaiting a motion ruling from a judge in another case, different lawyer, so more uninformed mischaracterizations aren't helpful).
bacci40,
I don't know if you are doing it in ignorance or following the Obama directive to misrepresent the matter, which is what it sounds like, but the Constitutional requirement is *not* that Obama be a "native born citizen," but a "natural born citizen.
orde,
my apologies for the misuse of a word
obama is a brit now??? you really are off the wall
obama was born in hawaii to a natural born citizen...his mother
unless you can provide proof otherwise, you really need to let it go.
and orly taitz is an absolute nutjob who did indeed get every degree she has on the wall from mail order
that you would support her is a sad reflection on you
that any jew is a birther is a sad reflection on them.
maybe you guys can get together with the troofers and fight it out as to who the bigger nutjobs really are.
