Obama Meets the Jews
This week Barack Obama met with leaders of American Jewish Organizations. It was an attempt to confront the growing concern about his policy towards the beleaguered Jewish State. Obviously the President had decided not to seriously debate the issue at the gathering, since both the Zionist Organization of America and CAMERA were locked out of the meeting.

That's ME in the green jacket on the right! I'm amazed that you got my likeness so accurate, Mr. Bones! Someone needs to point out his inaccuracies, and you do it so very well. Keep up the good work. This man is certainly no friend of either Israel or America. I just pray that both our nations can survive his reign.
Am I mistaken, or isn't the Jewish activist on the left wearing a כיפה שחורה?
Nice touch, Bones!
I knew about CAMERA but not about ZOA. I'll have to do some reading. That's a good enough endorsement for me that they weren't invited to the White House. I'm praying for President Obama that G-d will give him the same mercy that He gave to Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4, so that he will know the G-d of Israel IS G-d.
Pfft. If the White House had invited ZOA and CAMERA, you'd be complaining that they didn't invite the Kahanists. And if they invited the Kahanists, you'd be complaining that they didn't invite whatever is to the right of the Kahanists.
Anyway, what would be the point of inviting explicitly anti-peace organizations to a peace summit? It would be like asking vegetarians to a barbecue - a waste of airfare.
Ha! I thought that would annoy the troll. LOL.
Hey 'Bones, is the guy on the right Shuldig's American cousin, the family likeness is striking?

Bones, After reading today's cartoon strip, I did not know whether to be pleased at how your rather mild mannered "worried guys" suggests that Jewish people
might be finally "getting it", or to be dostraught that they have not yet "gotten it".
The "messiahship" of Obama seems to have fully clouded any kind of realistic judgement that the Jewish people might have toward their own welfare and survival.
Prior to the election, there was so much twitter that came through my mailbox about
Obama's Islamic bent, the covert Islamic funding of his campaign, the anti semitism of his church, his 20 years in that church listening to anti-semitic tirades,
his questionable and (still) secret birth records, the now secret papers he wrote at Harvard.
How could the Jewish people have missed it??? Do you think they were just soothed into a deep sleep by his golden mouthed speeches?
And now it seems to be just dawning on them, in such a surprised mode, that maybe the man is anti -Jewish and anti-Israel. duh!
It is TOO LATE to protest as many active Zionists have suggested to the myriads of Jewish people who supported him !
Obama is only appeasing the "moderate pro administration" Jewish organizations as evidenced by who was invited to the last "fireside chat" because there are wealthy and influential supporters among them.
Obama's war chariots are loaded and waiting to go!. He is not even waiting for sunrise, but already attacking in the middle of the night by withholding arms and military materiel
from Israel and shifting it to the PA. The writing is on the wall.
As Obama is readying for his final battle, the Jewish people both here and in Israel haven't even taken their guns out of storage. As you cartoon suggests, they are just wringing their hands and worrying.
In 1935, the Jewish people also thought Hitler wouldn't be as mean as that! If they had had their eyes open even then, thousands even millions of Jewish
lives would have been saved. Given that Jewish people seem to have more than their share
of gray matter, they surely don't seem to be able to apply it to their own survival. As we speak, the enemy hoards are gathering on all sides.
People like you who have a strong voice need to sound the alarm before it is entirely too late. SOUND THE ALARM! The only people who are awake to what is happening are the Zionists and Israel's Christian supporters (not invited to the fireside chat) who have been "spitting into the wind" with their direst objections for over a year now.
I am recommending to my Jewish friends to make Alyiah ASAP. While it may not be safe in Israel, it will be worse here in the USA shortly and it will manifest itself overnight
with but one more inevitable downturn in the economy.
Jewish people are not safe in the USA. No amount of objecting will make a smidgen of difference...the enemy's guns are loaded.

Oh good lord. And they call me a troll.
Also, re:

Jewish people are not safe in the USA.
Speaking as an American, I am highly offended by the suggestion that the American people are just one economic contraction away from turning on and lynching our Jewish neighbors. This is a far, far more anti-American statement than anything Jeremiah Wright was ever accused of saying.

Why is it anti-American to say that Americans are just one step from "lynching [their] Jewish neighbours"? Americans have a long tradition of lynching their neighbours, heck you were still lynching black folk two decades after the Germans stop lynching Jews! Why would anyone in the world think Americans are not capable of lynching Jews?
Actually, I just remembered that I am - as a liberal - contractually obligated to hate America (and puppies), so nevermind; I agree with you. We're really awful.
Of course this means you ought to be grateful to Obama for dissacociating us from you, lest you be contaminated by our wickedness.
Read This!
- my 2 cents!
ZOA is truly an American fringe group now. I was a member for for years until they determined to make themselves irrelevant to American Jewish life.
And CAMERA? Their columns can be fun to read, but to take them seriously?? They're a bunch of people with an agenda, and they're not interested in discussing any part of it. They only wish to scream it at everyone.
I didn't look at the list of invitees, but I do imagine there were other organizations that didn't belong there. Anything Dan Pipes is associated with for one. I do hope the dan in this thread is not he :).
In Genesis 12:3 it is written: "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed."
God is talking to Israel here. As an American, I must say that if we as a country continue to turn away from the Jewish people and Israel in particular, then we deserve what we get from God.
I agree! Here's my new to form (Dutch) Evangelical Christian-Zionist Party Blog: http://eczp.blogspot.com/
I am looking for partners & financial support. Shalom & Baruch!
As soon as I read that Obama was meeting with American Jews, I thought to myself, "Just great! Of all people to meet with!" The majority of American Jews are pro the creation of a Palestinian state! They are pro dividing Israel's G-d given land! THEY ARE NO FRIENDS OF ISRAEL! It is the christian Zionists who support and stand by Israel!
America is Israel's friendly foe, and it grieves me. But in my grief as I prayed and wept over Israel, the Lord gave me Psalm 2, and I started laughing! WHY? Read it and you'll see. Right now, G-D IS LAUGHING AT THOSE WHO ARE TRYING TO DIVIDE ISRAEL'S LAND! He sees their end, and He sees His glorious plans for Israel. Amen.
I think Psalm 83 says enough.
Bones, as usual you are on the mark and seem to invite anti Jewish scorn in efforts to trivialize its truth.
Shalom and a blessed Sabbath
I really am not educated on Israel's Jews except from the Bible, so I just speak from my heart. I am an American and love the Jewish people, I believe in what God says.
Olive Tree, well said. Troll, please feel free to be insulted, you need to find yourself another country to not support.
America is on the verge of going down and it will happen overnight as so much already has. No where does God include our country in the end times, so it will be swallowed up by the world. Please pray for us Americans that God will keep us strong and focused on Him. I do want to make that "twinkling of an eye change."
Thanks for the scriptures, it all helps. I really enjoy reading and discussing with you all. God Bless you and continue to pray for the world as a whole.
"Speaking as an American, I am highly offended by the suggestion that the American people are just one economic contraction away from turning on and lynching our Jewish neighbors. This is a far, far more anti-American statement than anything Jeremiah Wright was ever accused of saying."
Dan, I have to agree with you on this one. But face it, you are a troll... not that there's anything wrong with that. If this is your favorite pastime activity, that’s fine by me. It would be cruel to deny you happiness.
Obama and his Mrs, are not fond of Jews. That is part of the reason they went to Church and listened to Rev. Wright.
Just to add my amateur-like comment: Sooner or later, the day will come, on which the US are going to stop supporting Israel, it is inevitable. ( Not, that i want it that way, just a book called the bible says so. And as i found out, it's not always wrong, that book, although i am no active christian) So, all the discussion here leads me to the idea, that maybe "time" is going to take a "step" forward? Plz excuse my german-coloured english ^^
Anything Dan Pipes is associated with for one. I do hope the dan in this thread is not he :).
Well, I've gone for a whole thread without calling for anyone to be ethnically cleansed from anywhere, so I must not be. :) Though seriously, I recommend Pipes' "Greater Syria: A History of an Ambition" - to anyone reading: it's an invaluable historical study of the area, and remarkably free of the psychoses that color much of the his other output.
I am an American and love the Jewish people.
That's nice. I am an American who does not find the lives of Jewish people intrinsically more valuable than those of Arabs. Apparently this is a form of antisemitism now.
Troll, please feel free to be insulted, you need to find yourself another country to not support.
Why should I be insulted? Besides, I'm already not supporting dozens of other countries.
America is on the verge of going down and it will happen overnight as so much already has. No where does God include our country in the end times, so it will be swallowed up by the world.
South America, Australia, and South Africa also aren't in the End Times. And everything east of Persia is simply left unidentified and mashed together under the Kings of the East. A sensible observer might interpret this as a deficient grasp of geography by Daniel and John of Patmos.
Please pray for us Americans that God will keep us strong and focused on Him.
Why bother if we're doomed anyway? Surely God isn't going to do a rewrite and reinsert us into the Apocalypse at this late date? Do you have any idea how many Tanakhs and Bibles would have to recalled?

Dan, you clearly don't have a good sense of history. I don't know how many contractions away we are, but can you say "Leo Frank?"
A sense of history is not the same thing as concluding that anything that happened once could therefore plausibly happen again. Underlying social conditions and attitudes change, and this is not the same country it was back in the 1920s.
You are all correct in some extent. Look like, time for Mashiach is now, and he is here, because it was described in several sources what happen, what countries will be involved, sequence of events and so on. Also, it was described that the end of the world can be avoided if all Jewish people will make teshuva, return to Ashem. And, maybe, it is possible. All of us have to prepare for the World to Come by doing good deeds, as charity, prayer and study Torah. Thanks for reading.
