Who’s Throwing an Obama Party?

Posted by LoneStar on Thursday, November 6th, 2008 at 9:01 pm

Besides liberals. Why, Hamas of course.

They doggedly supported Obama during his campaign, as John Hawkins of Right Wing News reported back on April 16, 2008:

On the eve of a planned meeting with former President Jimmy Carter, the isolated Hamas terrorist organization has expressed “hope” Sen. Barack Obama will win the presidential elections and “change” America’s foreign policy.

 “We like Mr. Obama, and we hope that he will win the elections,” Ahmed Yousuf, Hamas’ top political adviser in the Gaza Strip, said in an exclusive interview with WND and with the John Batchelor Show on WABC Radio in New York.

“I hope Mr. Obama and the Democrats will change the political discourse. … I do believe [Obama] is like John Kennedy, a great man with a great principal. And he has a vision to change America to make it in a position to lead the world community, but not with humiliation and arrogance,” Yousuf said, speaking from Gaza.

…Together with presidential candidates John McCain and Hillary Clinton, Obama called Hamas a “terrorist organization” that should remain isolated until it renounces violence and recognizes Israel. Obama told reporters he opposed Carter’s meeting with Hamas.

But Yousuf chalked up Obama’s statements to political posturing.

“I understand American politics and this is the season for elections and everybody tries to sound like he’s a friend of the Israelis … so whatever [the] Israelis didn’t like they will take from all those candidates,” he said.

Yousuf said that in Hamas’ view, Obama has “a vision to change America to make it in a position to lead the world community but not with humiliation and arrogance.”

I think Yousef just insulted John Kennedy, who for all his faults didn’t just hide under his desk with threats to our country, or kiss the terrorists’ butts in the name of “peace at any price” like Dumbo is going to. But Yousef is likely right on the “he’s just acting like a friend of Israelies to get elected” quote. We with a brain in our head think its posturing too, that he’s pretending to be friends of Israel. Especially since liberals hate Israel and label anyone who supports them “evil Zionists” and “hawkish”, and Obama said Israel needs to make more concessions because the conflict, which is all their fault, is a “constant sore”.

Somehow I doubt Mr. Personality 2008 will take a stand for Israel when he hates his own damn country, along with his loudmouth wife. For that matter, we think he’s pretending to be friends even of true Americans, which he has yet to prove that he is. Coward.

 But apparently, Hamas got their wish, thanks to the liberals. Merry Chistmas, Hamas! Uh, wait a minute…

Wonder how it feels to know you’re doing exactly what terrorists wish you to do.

These same people that celebrated the death of THOUSANDS of our citizens with candy and revelry:


 
Are now celebrating the election of Barack Obama: Hamas Celebrates Obama Victory with Massive Rocket Attack. So is Iran: Iranian Islamo-Nazis Cheer. Guess ol’ McCain should have grown a set and agreed with the guy that said terrorists would be dancing in the street if Obama won. Truth isn’t always nice.

And you liberals think you’re on the right side.

I want a president where the terrorist mofo’s are pissed off, not celebrating.

New McCain ad: “Preconditions”

Posted by Carlos C. on Wednesday, October 29th, 2008 at 6:27 pm

This follows up nicely with the video about dictators laughing at Barack Obama.

Scoop This has documented extensively Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s threats against Israel. Ahmadinejad verbally threats Israel every week and he has called Israel the “germ of corruption”.

Also, this is not the first time John McCain has attacked Barack Obama on this issue. John McCain contends that Barack Obama does not understand the terrorist threat Iran poses on Israel and the world.

Yet, even when faced with all of these facts, Barack Obama will not admit that he is wrong by stating that he would meet the world’s dictators without preconditions.

It is up to us, the American voters, not to admit Barack Obama into the White House on November 4th.

Americans in Israel cast their ballots for McCain.

Posted by Carlos C. on Wednesday, October 29th, 2008 at 5:32 am

J-Post.com

Hundreds of United States expatriates voted Tuesday night in Jerusalem for next week’s US presidential elections.

The event, which was organized by a private, nonpartisan organization, Vote From Israel, and was held at the OU Israel Center, aimed to get Americans living in Israel who were either uninformed about how to vote or otherwise unmotivated to cast their ballots in time for the November 4 elections.

“This is so convenient I can’t believe it,” said Jill Stubbs, 33, a native of Santa Barbara, California, and a teacher at the capital’s Anglican School.

Stubbs said she was alerted to the event by an advertisement in The Jerusalem Post, which she produced from her purse neatly cut out.

“Living over here gives you much more concern about what is happening in the world,” she said.

Many in the largely religious crowd, which surpassed 500 in the first two hours of the five-hour event, said they were voting for Republican nominee John McCain, in no small part due to his unequivocal support for the State of Israel, something they felt was lacking in his opponent, Democrat Barack Obama.

“Obama is not very pro-Israel and Israel is very important to me, otherwise I wouldn’t be here,” said Shuli Atkin from Skokie, Illinois, near Chicago, who is studying at a seminary in Jerusalem.

“Hopefully we’ll make a difference,” she said.

“I have really been stressed out by this election,” said Mimi Luria, 31, a native of Brooklyn who has lived in Israel for five years.

Luria, a Republican who confessed to “never loving” McCain to begin with, said the Democratic Party was carrying out “major reverse discrimination” regarding African-Americans.

“It’s guilt by association,” she said.

And there you have it, folks.

The majority of Americans in Israel know that Barack Obama is not pro-Israel. You know it, I know, it, and the world knows it.

As Scoop This reported earlier today, a Jewish American told Joe the Plumber that Barack Obama’s Administration will surely usher in Israel’s destruction and death. This exchange occurred at a John McCain campaign rally in Ohio.

Vote for America. Vote for Israel. Vote McCain-Palin.

A Vote For Obama Is A Vote For The Death Of Israel.

Posted by Carlos C. on Tuesday, October 28th, 2008 at 5:17 pm

Joe the Plumber and McCain supporters are not the only ones that share this sentiment.

The Washington Times

“Joe the Plumber,” the small business aspirant and overnight media sensation, endorsed John McCain’s presidential campaign Tuesday and said Barack Obama would make America a socialist nation.

The Ohio plumber, whose real name is Samuel Wurzelbacher, also agreed with a McCain supporter who asked him if he believed “a vote for Obama is a vote for the death of Israel.”

“I’ll go ahead and agree with you on that,” Wurzelbacher told the man, retired Florida lawyer Stan Chapman who was visiting Ohio.

Staying with the “death of Israel” theme, it is a not far-fetched to make such a suggestion that Barack Obama will not favor Israel if he does indeed get elected President. I simply cannot take Barack Obama at his word that he will defend Israel, and if you are a Jewish American, you too should be concerned. Barack Obama is closely associated with Jew-basher Rashid Khalidi. According to the Los Angeles Times, Barack Obama has said that Khalidi questioned and fermented Obama’s views on Israel.

Even when Barack Obama visited Israel earlier this year, Israeli Jews yelled at Obama, “Israel is not for sale!”

Video.

Come November, if you are a friend of Israel, vote wisely.

Iran Dirty Bomb Plot Thwarted, days away from execution; No Media Coverage for 2 months and counting.

Posted by Kelsey Golden on Tuesday, October 21st, 2008 at 2:15 am

081011-iran-hijack You know that Country we know as “Iran” who’s government a certain Barrack Obama wants to dignify by meeting in direct high level talks without pre-conditions? Well, Iran was recently caught red handed trying to send a dirty bomb to Israel which could’ve killed MANY people. The only setback for Iran it seems, was the unknowing Somali Pirates who hijacked the ship en route to the Suez Canal.

When questioned about the contents of the ship, the Iranian Captain:

"was contacted by cell phone and demanded to disclose the actual nature of the mysterious “powdered cargo” but the captain and his officers were very evasive. Initially they said that the cargo contained “crude oil” but then claimed it contained “minerals.” Following this initial rebuff, the pirates broke open one of the containers and discovered it to be filled with packets of what they said was “a powdery fine sandy soil."

After boarding the ship, all of the pirates who inspected the cargo began to experience “strange illnesses” from symptoms consistent with radiation poisoning.

While US and Israeli Intelligence officials remain silent on this incident, Russian Intelligence says:

“[The Ship] was an enormous floating dirty bomb, intended to detonate after exiting the Suez Canal at the eastern end of the Mediterranean and in proximity to the coastal cities of Israel. The entire cargo of radioactive sand, obtained by Iran from China (the latter buys desperately needed oil from the former) and sealed in containers which, when the charges on the ship are set off after the crew took to the boats, will be blasted high into the air where prevailing winds will push the highly dangerous and radioactive cloud ashore.”

DirtyBomb The article also points out that for several months, Israel has been urging a Naval Blockade of Iran. It seems that the Pro-Obama media was too afraid to bring light to the story of Iran’s near attack on Israel which would’ve killed hundreds of thousands of people since it may remind the electorate of Obama’s pre-9/11 thinking in a post 9/11 world. This is coming in light of Biden’s recent gaff where he guaranteed that an Obama win in 2008 will all but guarantee an “international crisis" in order to test the new American President already viewed as weak by countries and terrorist organizations who wish us harm. Maybe it’s just me… but when Biden mentioned the "tests" against Kennedy, I was reminded that Kennedy royally screwed up the bay of pigs and consequently, enabled Russia to threaten us with near annihilation during the Cuban Missile Crisis. I’d rather elect a president who other nations won’t even try to mess with and not one who comes within a week of getting us all killed.

We also have to wonder if Iran, in carrying out such a major attack on Israel, would attempt a simultaneous attack on the United States since either attack would more than assure the obliteration of Iran. They might as well murder as many "infidels" as possible while they’re at it, right? This is a very dangerous world and we simply cannot take a chance with Barrack Obama especially since all indications suggest that he will pursue the type of foreign policy that failed to prevent the tragic events 9/11/01, a day whose lessons the liberals have chosen to forget. We can hope that the fact that Obama’s lead in the biased polls is lower than John Kerry’s (who still lost by over 1 million votes), still indicates a McCain victory but if Obama does become President, I greatly fear for the secure future of the United States and her allies.

Israel asked U.S. for green light to bomb Iran!

Posted by Carlos C. on Thursday, September 25th, 2008 at 7:40 pm

Breaking News…

Developing…

UPDATE 1: The Guardian

Developing…

UPDATE 2:

UPDATE 3:

Israel gave serious thought this spring to launching a military strike on Iran’s nuclear sites but was told by President George W Bush that he would not support it and did not expect to revise that view for the rest of his presidency, senior European diplomatic sources have told the Guardian.

The then prime minister, Ehud Olmert, used the occasion of Bush’s trip to Israel for the 60th anniversary of the state’s founding to raise the issue in a one-on-one meeting on May 14, the sources said. “He took it [the refusal of a US green light] as where they were at the moment, and that the US position was unlikely to change as long as Bush was in office”, they added.

The sources work for a European head of government who met the Israeli leader some time after the Bush visit. Their talks were so sensitive that no note-takers attended, but the European leader subsequently divulged to his officials the highly sensitive contents of what Olmert had told him of Bush’s position.

Bush’s decision to refuse to offer any support for a strike on Iran appeared to be based on two factors, the sources said. One was US concern over Iran’s likely retaliation, which would probably include a wave of attacks on US military and other personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as on shipping in the Persian Gulf.

The other was US anxiety that Israel would not succeed in disabling Iran’s nuclear facilities in a single assault even with the use of dozens of aircraft. It could not mount a series of attacks over several days without risking full-scale war. So the benefits would not outweigh the costs.

If there was any anxiety, then order the U.S. Air Force to help the Israeli Air Force.

Looks like President Bush is going to let the next administration handle Ahmadinejad and Iran.

Perhaps President Bush will change his mind after the results of the election.

UPDATE 4:

Iran has repeatedly said it would react with force to any attack. Some western government analysts believe this could include asking Lebanon’s Shia movement Hizbollah to strike at the US.

“It’s over ten years since Hizbollah’s last terror strike outside Israel, when it hit an Argentine-Israel association building in Buenos Aires [killing 85 people]“, said one official. “There is a large Lebanese diaspora in Canada which must include some Hizbollah supporters. They could slip into the United States and take action”.

Great. Suicide bombers in America.

Not if my Desert Eagle blows their head off, first.

UPDATE 5:

The revelation that Olmert was not merely saber-rattling to try to frighten Iran but considered the option seriously enough to discuss it with Bush shows how concerned Israeli officials had become.

Bush’s refusal to support an attack, and the strong suggestion he would not change his mind, is likely to end speculation that Washington might be preparing an “October surprise” before the US presidential election. Some analysts have argued that Bush would back an Israeli attack in an effort to help John McCain’s campaign by creating an eve-of-poll security crisis.

Others have said that in the case of an Obama victory, the vice-president, Dick Cheney, the main White House hawk, would want to cripple Iran’s nuclear programme in the dying weeks of Bush’s term.

Just because President Bush said “no” to Olmert several months ago does not mean he is totally opposed to the idea. The choice seems to be whether to attack Iran with or without a nuke in their arsenal.

UPDATE 6:

Three weeks after Bush’s red light, on June 2, Israel mounted a massive air exercise covering several hundred miles in the eastern Mediterranean. It involved dozens of warplanes, including F-15s, F-16s and aerial refueling tankers.

The size and scope of the exercise ensured that the US and other nations in the region saw it, said a US official, who estimated the distance was about the same as from Israel to Natanz.

The world noticed and Iran noticed. Israel’s motto is “Never Again”, and they will live up to that promise. Israel knows that they might have to go against Iran alone.

UPDATE 7:

The US announced two weeks ago that it would sell Israel 1,000 bunker-busting bombs. The move was interpreted by some analysts as a consolation prize for Israel after Bush told Olmert of his opposition to an attack on Iran. But it could also enhance Israel’s attack options in case the next US president revives the military option.

The guided bomb unit-39 (GBU-39) has a penetration capacity equivalent to a one-tonne bomb. Israel already has some bunker-busters.

I think it is going to take more than 1,000 bunker-busters to defeat Iran.

This map shows the known areas inside Iran that have nuclear sites.

Terrorist attack in East Jerusalem.

Posted by Carlos C. on Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008 at 4:24 am

jpost.com

The terrorist who rammed his BMW into a group of soldiers at a central Jerusalem thoroughfare late Monday night has been identified as Kasem Mugrabi, 19, from Jebl Mukaber in east Jerusalem.

Mugrabi, a resident of the same village as the Mercaz Harav terrorist who killed eight in March, wounded fifteen people before being shot dead by an off-duty IDF officer.

The assailant had no previous security record, police said Tuesday.

According to an initial police investigation, the 19-year-old wanted to marry his cousin, and when she refused his offer, he decided to carry out a terror attack, Jerusalem police spokesman Shmuel Ben-Ruby said.

Wow! It is amazing that not being allowed to marry your cousin can lead someone to become a terrorist! Anyways, 15 people were wounded in the attack. 12 people are still in the hospital. A woman is in serious condition and in a intensive care unit after having surgery. Two more people will have surgery on Tuesday. The rest of the victims are either in moderate condition to good condition, or were released from the hospital.

UPDATE 1: Via JPost.com, the Palestinian Ma’an news agency is reporting that Kasem Mugrabi, the terrorist responsible for this attack, is a member of Hamas.

This is a picture of terrorist Kasem Mugrabi.

Terrorist attack suspected in Russian plane crash.

Posted by Carlos C. on Sunday, September 14th, 2008 at 9:34 pm

DEBKAfile

Terror suspected in Aeroflot crash which killed all 88 people aboard

DEBKAfile’s counter-terror sources report from Moscow that three Jewish families, two Habad students and a Russian general were among the 88 passengers and crew killed in the Aeroflot Boeing 737 crash at Perm, Siberia, Saturday, Sept. 13. The plane was in flight from Moscow.

Russian authorities report the plane’s sudden disappearance off the radar at the moment cockpit communications shut off indicate the craft may have exploded in mid-air. They suspect terrorism as the cause of the crash because -

1. At least five passengers bought tickets but did not turn up for the flight. Security officials are trying to locate their addresses and sifting through the wreckage spread over a large area for possible unaccompanied luggage.

2. One of the passengers has been identified as Gen. Gennadiy Troshev, who was esteemed as a Russian hero for quelling the Chechen rebellion and believed to be targeted for death.

3. Our sources name one of the Jewish - or possibly Israeli - families aboard the doomed flight. They have been named as Ephraim Nakhumov, 35, his wife Golda, 24, and their two children, Ilya, aged 7, and Eva, aged four. Their place of residence is sought.

So, the suspect list includes Chechen rebels, Al Qaeda, or any other Muslim extremist groups. Hopefully, authorities will be able to gather some clues from the luggage and make some arrests. Of course, the warmhearted kindness of the terrorists is expressed by the slaying of the children on board. The same respect should be returned by shooting the terrorists on sight if they are found.

Ahmadinejad’s weekly threat to Israel.

Posted by Carlos C. on Saturday, September 13th, 2008 at 8:23 pm

haaretz.com

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad vowed Friday to keep supporting the Palestinian militant group Hamas until the “collapse of Israel.”

The Iranian news agency Khabar quoted Ahmadinejad as telling Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh that Iran views the support of the Palestinian people as part of its religious and national duty and that Iran will stand behind the Palestinian nation “until the big victory feast which is the collapse of the Zionist regime.”

In a phone conversation between the two leaders, the Iranian president said that the continued Hamas resistance against Israel and the group’s achievements would always be “a source of pride for all Muslims.” ran does not acknowledge the sovereignty of Israel and vowed to support Hamas until what Ahmadinejad calls “deliverance from Zionists (Israel).”

Haniyeh, the leader of the Islamist Hamas movement in the Gaza Strip, was elected Palestinian prime minister in 2006, but was dismissed in June 2007 by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, after Hamas violently seized control over the Gaza Strip from Abbas’ Palestinian Authority.

I feel as if Ahmadinejad verbally threats Israel every week. These are the types of threats that will lead to Mahmoud have a couple dozen nukes up his ass. Also, five American religious organizations will break bread with Mahmoud in a couple of weeks when Mahmoud visits New York City. Hopefully, the CIA assassinates Mahmoud in a couple of weeks.

DEBKA: Russian units raid Georgian airfields for use in Israeli strike against Iran

Posted by Kelsey Golden on Friday, September 5th, 2008 at 10:13 am

DEBKAfile Special Report

September 5, 2008, 12:58 PM (GMT+02:00)

The Russian raid was disclosed by UPI chief editor Arnaud de Borchgrave, who is also on the Washington Times staff, and picked up by the Iranian Fars news agency. The Russian raid of two Georgian airfields, which Tbilisi had allowed Israel to use for a potential strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities, followed the Georgian offensive against South Ossetia on Aug. 7.

DEBKAfile’s intelligence sources report that flying from S. Georgia over the Caspian Sea to Iran would sharply trim the distance to be spanned by Israeli fighter-bombers, reducing flying time to 3.5 hours. More…
