Obama brings the Jew-haters out of the woodwork
The New York Post's Michael Goodwin reports that President Obama's tough talk on Israel is being used by all sorts of anti-Semitic scum who believe that their vile hatred is suddenly acceptable (Hat Tip: Jammie Wearing Fool). The three letters came to me in response to different columns, but the writers share two distinct views. They support President Obama's hard-line policy toward Israel, and they are anti-Semites.Read the whole thing.
They hear Obama's policy as a license, and even a cue, to spew their hate. I am sharing their rants because letters like theirs are increasing as the president grows more forceful toward Israel.
The connection is disturbing. With American-Israeli relations at a low point, anti-Semitism could be reaching a boiling point.
Yes, some writers support Obama's stance in legitimate ways. They show that there is room for honest disagreement and that criticism of Israel, whether from the president or other Americans, does not have to be anti-Semitic.
But most of the critical reaction I get when I fault Obama's policies is anti-Semitic. Some of it is violent in tone, wishing me and my family death and suggesting the world would be a better place if Hitler had succeeded.
"Another Holocaust is on the way," wrote Janice Wijnen. "What will history say about the Jews? They were the missing links between apes and human beings."
The most common approach is to raise doubts about my loyalty, with many writers claiming that sticking up for Israel is proof of a lack of patriotism here at home.
Because I see Israel's survival both as a moral issue and a strategic one for America, I am often incorrectly assumed to be Jewish, as if only Jews could defend Israel.
It's disgusting but not at all surprising. The next thing you know, some American diplomat will refer to Israel as "that s***y little country." What could go wrong?

Hi Carl.
Just this quote:"One who breaks an unjust law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law."
Martin Luther King, Jr.

They all think it, you know that?
What could go wrong has gone wrong like boiling down the very essence of a single grape, so goes the story of our struggle to survive. (thanks to a civilization throughout time which has challenged it and robbed us for it.)
such a simple thing to be allowed to live...
Ari Shavit may be an execrable excuse for a human being but he's right about one thing: the grace period Jews had with the Holocaust is over and now its open season on the Jews. Anti-Semitism simply took a holiday after Auschwitz and now its completely respectable again. Today one can hate the Jews for "legitimate" reasons. I don't see the longest hatred on earth disappearing any time soon.
oh yah, and to which president did James Baker serve as Chief of Staff? Baker served as chief legal adviser for George W. Bush. And what about the quartet for peace made up of three known entities of hate toward Israel? And Bush ties to the house of Saud which for that broke an agreement with Israel when he sold them fighter jets.
...and what about our beloved Jerusalem to which even our known friend turned his back on?
They all hang us out to dry.
Who hangs us out in the burning sun more then others is quite irrelevant, indeed.
When both Jews in the diaspora and the State of Israel understands that quite thoroughly as though it is written in stone, then Israel will stand on her own feet for the good of her own country.
NormanF...
Such harsh and tearful statement you made. No truer words could not be spoken. I applaud you.
When we see things with such crystal clarity, only then can real change take place.
Strangely, today I feel not so depressed for I am seeing real truth surfacing.
Even this speaks of an inner truth which no human, even the most evil of human can destroy: (From JPost)
'War of Independence hasn't ended'
Strategic Affairs Minister Ya'alon discusses wide conceptual gaps with the US, the Iranian threat, and why no settlements should be removed – ever.
What a call to arms!
im really not sure how anyone can blame obama
take a look at what has been going on on college campuses for the past few years
if you want to blame anyone, blame the so called jewish intellectuals who have absolutely no connection to their jewish roots.
they have given voice to the jew haters
shoot, if chomsky, slaim, finklestein and a host of others can say terrible things about the jewish people...why cant they?
Janice Wijnen's genocidal rage must be so deep that it blinds her to an obvious truth:
If those wascally Joooooz are indeed "the missing links between apes and human beings," then she owes her existence to...ta da!...The Jooooooz.
That, of course, is true if one assumes Ms. Wijnen is a human being.
tuleesh, janice wijnen is a plague virus. it has no connection to any decent life forms.i hope it can read this.
(is wijnen the same as "weinen", German for crying? it will be crying because civilisation will innoculate against the virus.)
That poster is redundant
