Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta is at it again where it concerns Israel.
On Friday, during a speech before the Brookings Institution in Washington, Panetta went all MSNBC on Israel. To be precise, Panetta stated that Israel needed to “lean forward” to achieve peace with the Palestinians. He also demanded that Israel to “just get to the damned table” and to “reach out and mend fences” with Egypt, Turkey and Jordan.
This isn’t the first time Panetta has publicly bashed Israel. Two months ago, while he was en route to the Middle East, Panetta made similar comments. Well, since Panetta is reiterating what he said two months ago, I shall do the same. Let me do so with four questions.
Why is the Obama Administration placing the onus solely on Israel to reach out and mend fences?
Why isn’t the Obama Administration chastising Egypt for allowing the Israeli Embassy to be attacked?
Why isn’t the Obama Administration taking Turkey to task for sponsoring flotillas against the Israeli naval blockade of Gaza?
Why isn’t the Obama Administration bringing any pressure to bear against the Palestinian Authority for kissing and making up with Hamas? The last I checked the State Department listed Hamas as a terrorist organization.
Quite frankly, President Obama has only himself to blame for stalled peace talks when he began making demands with regard to the construction of housing in Jerusalem even the Palestinian Authority wasn’t making. The Palestinians took a harder line because of Obama.
Speaking of Obama, it is interesting to see him assuaging Jewish Democrats that he’s done more for Israel’s security than any previous administration while leaving it to the likes of Panetta and Howard Gutman, an Obama fundraiser who currently serves as our Ambassador to Belgium, to do his dirty work. President Obama is running for re-election after all and can’t afford to directly alienate Jewish voters than he has already.
Gutman is under fire for blaming Israel for Muslim anti-Semitism at a conference in Brussels on anti-Semitism earlier this week. Newt Gingrich has called upon President Obama to fire Gutman but don’t count on it. Gutman, like Panetta, are merely surrogates through whom President Obama can convey his contempt for Israel.

The situation is just beyond belief. How could we have reached such a point? That an American Secretary of Defense can come up with such nonsense is scary. It shows that Panetta understands nothing. The very fact that for the last few weeks proponents of the Arab Spring have been talking of “moderate Islamists” demonstrates total ignorance of the subject. Moderate Nazi may seem an inappropriate comparison but it is not. And who is to blame? Our media which for decades has been reluctant to discuss the nature of Islam also refused to discuss the ineffectiveness of MAD vis-à-vis Iran. As a consequence of this global ignorance Americans elected a president whose incompetence and appeasement of Iran may cost the lives of millions. We are in deep, deep trouble. To see why Panetta is saying nonsense read MAD is Dead. http://www.madisdead.blogspot.com/

Israel is not my country. Mr. Panetta should just worry about the defense of this country and not the world. Trillions have been wasted on Israel. It is time it didn't come running here very time it wants some kind of bailout. Let the greatest welfare queen in the history of the world figure it out for itself with it's own money and the blood of it's own citizens. Shalom.

"Pope Benedict XVI supports Palestinian state and criticizes Israeli barrier
Pope Benedict XVI has pledged his support for the creation of a Palestinian homeland and criticized the 'tragedy' of Israel's separation barrier.
Speaking in Bethlehem, where he delivered his most sensitive speech yet of an eight-day tour of the Holy Land, Benedict XVI acknowledged the suffering of the Palestinian people following the establishment of Israel in 1948.
But he also urged moderation, telling Palestinians they should not use violence to further their cause.
Speaking later at the Aida refugee camp, he criticised the concrete security wall "towering over us", saying it was "tragic'' to see barriers erected between the two communities."

Jack in Wi| 12.5.11 @ 2:47AM
I know what trillions are Nick. The Council for the American Intrest has just done a study which has concluded that American support for Israel has cost between 3 and 5 trillion dollars since 1948. That includes vast amounts of foreign aid to Israel and the Arabs, intrest on that aid forever, loans that are never paid off, huge oil prices because the arabs want to screw us for our support of Israel and unending wars for Israel.
We may be be spiritual semites, but we are not actual semites. We should not back the criminal racist state that denies basic human rights to millions of people. What Hitler did to the Jews in 1937, when the Pope wrote his message are the same kinds of things the Israeli's are doing to their neighbors. Hitler did not have 500 nuclear bombs either, to threaten the world with the Samson Option.

How does aid given to the Arab states account as support or aid given to Israel?
How does the money we pay to the Arabs for oil amount to support or aid to Israel?
If Israel did not exist then we would not have given any money to the Arab states and not paid for the oil? Do you believe the Arabs would have given us the oil for free?

Its the State Department --a permanent anti-Israeli
organ and let us also not forget that both Bushes were also anti-Israel as well. Obama even more so.
I will state this Jews who support Obama are not Jews but Socialists. That is their religion. They can go to synagogue. They can be 100% Orthodox for all I care. They are no longer Jews in my eyes.
In this country a " real Jew" does not abandon the Jewish people. Its in their blood to stand up. But
there are two types that could care less: The "Lost Jew" one who keeps a Jewish surname and has some vague pretense of "Jewishness" yet hates fellow Jews and is willing to sell out Israel. What makes them "lost" is that either have no religion, or have "converted" to a " SocialistJudaism" or some completely different religion. The false Jews are those who claim to be all for the Jewish People yet do things that are really destructive . Both types are in the Obama administration and the Socialist Party.
Jack in Wi| 12.4.11 @ 3:02PM
The vast majority of Jews support Obama and Hillary Clinton with their votes and money. Republicans and conservatives get nothing from supporting Israel. It is time to let Israel to figure it out for themselves and it is time for America to quit letting this pipsqueek run our foreign policy

I'm glad you said that - many times I've heard someone ask Rush Limbaugh how can Jews be so overwhelmingly liberal, especially in light of the treatment Israel has gotten from Obama. He has always said they are liberals first (or socialists, same thing!), and Jews second. My question is, why is all the pressure put on Israel to come to the table, when the Palestinians do not recognize Israel's right to exist? This is insane and I have never understood it.

Why are you fingering solely the Obama administration?
Don't you think the problem, the attitude towards Israel, towards the whole "Arab/Israeli dispute" exists within the Democrat foreign policy establishment, an establishment by the way which is effectively synonymous with AMERICA'S foreign policy establishment.
Where in American academia is the view towards the problem any different than that presently held by the Obama administration?
Moreover, why didn't you observe that the REPUBLICAN foreign policy establishment is not wholly untouched with similar views? Don't you recall how Condi and Bush sandbagged Israel during the last two years of the previous administration?
My point here is that the isolation of Israel is not something that we're moving towards but is now a FACT, something that is still being veiled somewhat from the American people, but is now a FACT, a basis, the predicate, for America's foreign policy establishment.
We're in trouble.
And the Jews are going to the wall, because Washington has grown weary of maintaining any moral and intellectual distinctions.
Cultural and moral relativism, intellectual weariness, sheer gutlessness. All present.

If Israel 'leans forward' anymore than it has over the years, it could lose its head.
Why will there only be 'peace' based on what Israel does? That implies there is an enemy with clearly-identifiable reasonable demands- which Israel should have no problems in complying with, if only it puts aside its stubbornness.
It's one thing to hide truths behind diplomacy, but not when Israel's existence, as always, is at stake. There is only 1 'peace partner' in reality.

Dr. Ron Paul,
"I Would Ask Congress For a Declaration Of War Against Iran, If Necessary. "
Dr.Ron Paul's Foreign Policy Advisor Michael Scheuer, Former CIA Chief of The bin Laden Unit,
2.) Publicly state that there will be no U.S. surprise attack on Iran, and no U.S. attack at all on Iran unless the president asks for a formal declaration of war and the Congress votes its approval in a constitutional manner.
3.) Call in Israel's ambassador to the United States and tell him that we understand that Israel believes Iran is a threat to its survival, and that we agree that Israel has every right to defend itself. If Israel believes it must go to war with Iran, then so be it. But also tell the ambassador that if Israel attacks Iran, the U.S. administration will declare U.S. neutrality in the war and immediately cut off military and financial support to all combatants in the war.
4.) Speak to the American people and tell them to expect to be brutally propagandized by U.S. citizen Israel-Firsters through AIPAC, their ubiquitous media shills, and the men and women they own in the U.S. Congress and federal bureaucracy. Urge Americans to ignore this effort by U.S. Israel-Firsters to get them to send their soldier-children to fight in a religious war in which the U.S. has no genuine national interest at stake, and in which U.S. participation would further bankrupt the country, require the reintroduction of conscription, and put America at war with all of the Muslim world -- Shia and Sunni -- for the foreseeable future."

It's astonishing that American Jews continue to politically/financially support Obama for president when it was just reported that the Obama administration has spent $300 million of US taxpayers money in support of Egyptian Muslim political organizations which are in the process of taking over political control of Egypt's government. Doesn't anyone [especially Jews] have the mental capacity to GET IT as to what this administration is in the process of doing? This whole Arab Spring uprising within the ME has been facilitated/promoted by the political power of our government under this administration, and same will futuristically have an extremely detrimental national security effect on our country. Israel will become surrounded within the ME and its destruction probabilities substantially increased, and the futurist chances of more 9/11/01 type attacks in this country will increase exponentially from same.

Intelligent Design| 12.4.11 @ 5:54PM
The key objectives of both the PA and its Hamas partners are the destruction of Israel and the death of Jews. The majority of individual Palestinians want Israel destroyed. They cheer for terrorists among them who attack Israel. Palestinian children are taught to hate Jews. There have been thousands of rocket and mortar attacks against Israel in the past few years, plus all the terrorist attacks perpetrated by Muslims inside Israel.
Four and a half million pathetic "Palestinian refugees" are on a UN welfare program (UNRWA) which provides them with assistance in housing, education, food, medicine, and cash. They have been on the UN dole for generations, for 60 years, based on the absurd premise that they are entitled to reclaim land in Israel.
The U.S. Congress should cut off aid to the Palestinian/Hamas coalition, and defund the UN program called UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA). If it doesn't, then American taxpayers will continue to fund terrorists with hundreds of millions of dollars per year.
Obama, H. Clinton, and so many others are either blind and ignorant about the facts, or they are totally cynical demagogues when they talk about the "peace process", as if it had legs. Even Republican Senator Rubio claims there can be lasting peace between the Palestinian Muslims and Israel, despite tons of contradictory evidence. His intentions are probably good, but naive. Obama's intentions are sinister. He's a treacherous impostor.
Israel's strategy should be the same as President Reagan's when he referred to the USA versus the USSR: namely, "we win, they lose".

In response, somehow, neutrality and isolationism are an option, even though these policies didn't work even in the last century before there were nukes. Simply claiming an objectively bad event like Iran getting nukes is "neutral" doesn't make it so. Then, of course, we get to the anti-jew obsession which they have.

For The President to take Military action against Iran, he is going to need MASSIVE political cover and Mid-East goodwill to make it even possible. President Obama needs to talk to Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu, and DEMAND a signed, final Peace deal with the Palestinians. No matter what it takes, no matter what Israeli needs to sacrifice in land and whatever to get it done, in return the President promises not only a massive Air Strike against Iran, but regime change. It would be a MASSIVE reshaping of the Middle East and will have repercussions for years, but this could solve alot of issues being bold.

Jack Pukes:

Yes. They are so "criminal" & "racist" that Arab Israelis are just FLEEING en masse. And so "criminal" & "racist" that they actually allow Muslims serve in the Knessett.
Clint & JackWI are two Jew hating douchebags & well known frauds to everyone on this site. Clint is just the community chew toy who has never contributed anything of substance other than, "I'll kick your ASS!!!" JackWI is a "proud 4-F" who's daddy told him it was better to be a "live coward." He also has claimed that he knows more history than anyone on this site, "including the editors." And while they call all of us who support "Israel Firsters," they espouse doctrines of the Catholic Church, an organization run BY A NATION STATE. I don't personally give a rat's arse by what name either of these 2 fools calls G*d by. But it is SHEER HYPOCRISY for those who profess to be so ferverently Catholic, & cite quotes from current & past Popes (the only one of whom worth a shit was the LAST one), to call those of us who support Israel "Israel Firsters" for doing so.

Panetta is a Demoncat, a lawyer, and a Clintonite, in addition to having been a politician for the last 30+ years. What more do you need to realize he has no idea of how the real world works and is willing to sit back and "negotiate" until the Iranian nuke lands on his head?
