Defiant Jewish settlers build "Obama huts"

Many Jews have had enough with President Obama's threats against Jewish settlements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. So, they are building "Obama huts" like one similar to what the president's brother would live in Kenya.

In the article: At the outpost, which they named Oz Yehonatan, the settlers built a wooden structure they mockingly called the "Obama Hut," saying it was a sign of appreciation for the US president for his actions that had led to a dramatic rise in the number of outposts.

Saudis want Obama to get tough on Israel

King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has urged President Barack Obama to impost a solution on the festering Arab-Israeli conflict, if necessary.

Saudi Arabia and some fellow Arab states want Obama to "get tough" with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who is against Palestinian statehood and against Obama's calls to halt the expansion of Jewish settlements.

Obama demands Israel stop construction in West Bank, Israel rejects

President Obama is like a young lady in a beauty pagent. He wants "world peace." Well, he is actually after Middle Eastern peace between Israel and Palestine. The problem is that both sides have been fighting since the time of Mohammed, if not the time of Jesus. It's a little difficult to say "all is good" after thousands of years.

Obama wants all construction stopped by the Israelis in the West Bank. He wants the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to become the nation of Palestine. The thing is, if that comes to be, I bet the Palestinians will want more land, and eventually all of what is today Israel.

It is clear that Obama is siding with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas when it comes to Israeli-Palestinian relations. I don't think Obama would care if Palestine wiped out Israel. The odd thing is that Obama appears to think that he is in control of the situation. Shouldn't it really be between Israel and Palestine?

Obama, Netanyahu meet in White House

President Obama wants Israel to settle its conflict with Palestine and with the Middle Eastern countries overall. Obama wants Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to move toward a two-state solution with the Palestinians.

In other words, Obama wants to see the end of Israel as we know it. What he wants is to have Palestine take control of most of what is today in Israel. He wants the Muslims to be happy.

We shall see what happens in U.S.-Israeli relations.

Hillary Clinton upsets Jews over Israel criticism

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton won over the Jews when she was a junior senator from New York. But now, as Secretary of State, she seems to be siding with the Palestinians in the war between Israel and Hamas.

In the past as First Lady, she was close to the Palestians and now again, in her new position, she is moving back to that same theme. As a senator she was for Israel, but that could be just to get votes.

In the article below, Jews in New York express their distrust in Clinton.

U.S. to give more than $900 million to Gaza

For a country that seems to be strapped with cash problems, we sure have a lot to just give away. The United States is willing to give more than $900 million to help rebuild Gaza after the Israeli invasion of this year.

According to Reuters, the money will need Congressional approval before the money is shipped to Gaza though. But once it is approved, because it will be, it will be distributed through the U.N. and other bodies and not via Hamas, said an official.

Let's hope that Hamas doesn't get its grip on this money.

Obama gives aid, shelter to Palestinians

President Barack Obama is acting as if he is in a Miss. USA or Miss. America pagent. He is after "world peace." At least peace between his administration and the Muslim world.

Obama has sent millions of dollars in aid to the Palestinians in conflict with Israel. In an article published Friday he sent Palestine another $20 million in aid. Apparently also he offered safety to the Palestinians living in tents during the conflict to stay in the United States. We'll his heart is in the right place, but is his mind? Palestine is allied with Hamas, a terrorist group which wants Israel wiped off the map, as does Palestine. Hamas denies that the Holocaust ever happened. Hamas is also financially backed by Iran.

So, is Obama a Zionist? Probably not. But he does want to be on the good side of the Muslim world. This is a major risk to the future of the nation of Israel.

At this rate, the United States will be allied with Iran, Palestine and Russia in no time.

Cheers to world peace, comrades!
