Right Of Sovereignty

Obama Selling Out Our Allies

By Burwell Stark

With increasing frequency members of the Obama administration have been turning their backs on America's strongest allies.  The administration is forming new partnerships which appear to be based solely on emotion and the desire to appear politically correct rather than on agreements to work together to meet mutual needs in a long-term relationship.

Why are our elected leaders abandoning the ones who have stood by them for years?  Why are they pursuing relationships that are inherently unstable and can only result in failure over the course of time?

I am referring to the recent statements by President Obama, and members of his administration, in which he sided against our two greatest allies: Israel and Great Britain.

America has no greater allies than these two countries, and the issues Obama addressed are ones they hold dear.

Concerning Israel, the president said in May that he supports a two-state solution (with Palestine) based on Israel's pre-1967 borders.

Regarding Great Britain, last week the Obama administration sided with Argentina in the ongoing dispute over the Falkland Islands.

Why are these issues so important and why are the statements made by this administration so egregious?  Please allow me to give a brief history.

Prior to 1967, Israel was prone to attack by its neighboring countries.

In June 1967 Israel fought Jordan, Syria, and Egypt in what is known as The Six-Day War.  That May, Jordan, Syria, and Egypt had amassed armies on Israel's borders, and Egypt cut off Israel's access to the Straights of Tiran and thereby the Red Sea.  Considering the cut-off an act of aggression, Israel launched a surprise attack on the three armies, quickly beating them back.  As a result of Israel's use of force, a ceasefire was signed six days after the war began.

After the war, Israel took control of the Gaza Strip, the Golan Heights, and the West Bank, along with East Jerusalem.  Egypt and Syria challenged Israel again in 1973 in what became known as the Yom Kippur War; however, since that time there have been no full-scale military attacks on Israel.  This is largely due to Israel's occupation of those territories.

Without them, Israel would be more vulnerable to attack.

The Falkland Islands have a long history of European claim and rule.

However, since 1833, Britain has ruled the islands.  It is currently considered a self-governing British Territory.  In both World Wars I and II, the islands were prominently used by Britain in several naval victories against Germany.

It must be said that Argentina has disputed British rule since 1833.  This came to a head in 1982 when Argentina invaded the islands and took control.  The United Nations Security Council denounced the move and called for Argentina to withdraw, which it promptly ignored.  Britain fought Argentina, and Argentina surrendered in June of that year.

The dispute over to which nation the islands belong did not go away after the war; Argentina is now pursuing diplomatic means to reassert control.  However, the islanders are British citizens and support British sovereignty.

With this brief history in mind, we can return to the question of why the president's recent statements are so egregious.

To put it simply, the president said that his administration does not support Israel's right to self-defense or British right to sovereignty over its territories.

I ask: what greater right does a nation have than to be able to defend itself from attack or rule its territories without dispute?

Yet this is what our president is denying our two greatest allies.

Is this how we treat our friends?

You see, the wonderful thing about allies is that allies are wonderful things.

Unfortunately, our president and his administration seem to have forgotten who are our most steadfast allies and have verbally sided against them in recent weeks.

Does this president really expect our allies to support his administration after he denies their right of sovereignty?  Will Argentina and Palestine come to our defense when we need them most?

Oh, bother.

Barack O'Bully Wants to End Israel

By James Lewis

"Racism" is a killing hatred for an ethnos, a people or nation.  It could be cold hatred, where you just want all those people to disappear from the face of the earth, or red-hothatred, where you're just itching to bring out your Turkish scimitar and start chopping innocent men, women and children. It doesn't matter if racism is cold or hot. It's the "final solution" that defines it.

Obama just demanded that seven million Jews in Israel abandon their homes to live inside the cease-fire lines of their War of Independence. Those cease-fire lines are not borders, and were never meant to be borders. They are so weirdly drawn that Israel becomes nine miles wide at the waist. For Israel to withdraw to those lines is to "commit suicide" as a nation, as Newt Gingrich has just said.  Gingrich is right.  This is what radical Islamists keep shouting about, in one, vast industrialized stream of oil-fueled hate propaganda.

And now, ten years after 9/11/01, Obama has joined them.

I don't think Americans really understand that yet. It's obvious that many American Jews don't understand it either. There's a kind of culture shock when radicals express their real beliefs. Nobody wants to believe it.

I can't read minds, and I don't know if Obama has a visceral hatred for Israel. It's not even the right question to ask. The real, practical question is whether Obama is trying to sabotage and ultimately destroy that country. It's "practical racism" that's the issue. 

The Left is always trying to draw an imaginary line between Israel hatred and Jew hatred. But it's a distinction without a difference. It's like saying that you love Americans -- but the country named "America" has to be destroyed. 

Barack Hussein Obama is therefore a practical racist -- he can proclaim all the lovely sentiments he wants to, finely tuned to whichever audience he wants to sucker, but his stated, practical goal is to shrink Israel into the tiniest and least defensible borders possible. It's like telling America to go back to the original thirteen colonies.

In a world of reality, not high-flown rhetoric, Obama wants to terminate a viable Jewish State in Israel, just as, deep down, he wants to terminate a viable nation  of America.  That's the program of the Left, and has been since Karl Marx. It's a utopian, one-world fantasy, that always sounds better than anything real. So Barack Hussein Obama, the President of the United States, has come out against the existence of a viable State of Israel. That would be Progress, he seems to think.

 If you haven't understood that, your eyes are closed. Consider lifting your eyelids.

The word "racist" has become a word of abuse without real meaning, like the ancient word "bastard." It used to mean something, and then it became just a fuzzy thing meaning "really bad."  The Left makes use of race to smear people it wants to oppress and control. It's a verbal club for beating people over the head.  But there really are practical racists, people who dream of actually destroying an entire ethnos, a people. The other word for that is "genocide."

We now hear that Hillary Clinton and the Administration have again repeated that demand to commit national suicide. This is what O'Bully did to Hosni Mubarak during the phony "Egyptian Spring." He demanded that Mubarak must resign, and "Now means Now!!" But Mubarak had been our ally for almost 30 years, the man who kept the Egypt-Israel peace treaty alive. O'Bully humiliated Mubarak in public, a tremendous loss of face for an Arab leader, and he resigned.

Now the Muslim Brotherhood is making a grab for power in Egypt.

We've seen this totalitarian movie before. The last time it cost 100 million people their lives. Like Communists during the Soviet Union, Obama never talks about those 100 million victims of Marxist regimes in the 20th century.

Obama has apologized for America on numerous occasions, but he has never deplored the murderous record of Marxist-Leninism. That is significant.

Twenty years ago the Berlin Wall came down, after Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, John Paul II, and a host of freedom activists like Poland's Solidarity fought for human freedom.

Today Barack O'Bully is trying to reverse history by empowering the reactionary Muslim Brotherhood -- which now controls Turkey, Gaza, and maybe Egypt. The other brand of radical Islam is now in control of Iran, Syria and Lebanon.

Iran is getting nukes, and Obama is doing nothing to stop them. Some reports say it's a matter of weeks or months. The Syrians have been revealed as building two more nuclear sites, beside the one the Israelis identified and smashed several years ago. The Saudis, who are radical Sunnis, are due to buy their own nukes from Pakistan (where they helped to finance Pakistan's nukes).

It's happening right in front of our eyes. The facts are no longer in dispute. 

They are what they are.

You can keep your eyes shut tight, like a hundred million liberals do every single day.

Or you can open your eyes.

The choice is yours.
