The left's constant attacks on Jews and Israel are responsible for this

*Obama Breeds Climate of Hate Against Jews*
*By Rabbi Dr. Morton H. Pomerantz*
Our new president did not tell a virulent anti-Semite to travel to the U.S.
Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington to kill Jews, but he is most
certainly creating a climate of hate against us.
It is no coincidence that we are witnessing this level of hatred toward Jews
as President Barack Obama positions America against the Jewish state.
Just days ago Obama traveled to Cairo, Egypt. It was his second trip in a
short time to visit Muslim countries. He sent a clear message by not
visiting Israel.
But this was code.
In Cairo, Obama said things that pose a grave danger to Jews in Israel, in
America and everywhere.
*Story Continues below...*
<http://news.newsmax.com/?K646a1ljWjooqpJQnLyJ7UsveXrktLUAK&https://www.newsmaxstore.com/nm_mag/free_mischief.cfm?s=al&promo_code=8150-1>
And if his views are not vigorously opposed they will help create a danger
as great as that posed by the Nazis to the Jewish people.
Just last week, Obama told his worldwide audience more than 100 million
people that the killing of six million Jews during the Holocaust was the
equivalent of Israel's actions in dealing with the Palestinians.
This remark is incredible on its face, an insult to the six million Jews who
died as a result of Hitler's genocide and it is a form of revisionism that
will bode evil for Jews for years to come.
While Obama acknowledged that "six million Jews were killed more than the
entire Jewish population of Israel today" his discussion about the
Holocaust was followed by this statement: "On the other hand, it is also
undeniable that the Palestinian people Muslims and Christians have
suffered in pursuit of a homeland."
"On the other hand . . . "?
Obama's clever construct comparing the mass genocide of six million Jews to
the Palestinian struggle will not be lost on the estimated 100 million
Muslims who tuned into to hear him.
Perhaps it was not lost on James W. von Brunn, the 88-year-old white
supremacist identified as the alleged attacker Wednesday at the Holocaust
Museum. He apparently felt that he could easily take retribution against the
Jews for the atrocities Obama implies they are guilty of.
At first blush Mr. Obama's speech seemed rosy, optimistic one that
espoused tolerance and understanding.
If you scratch the surface it is a dangerous document that history will view
as a turning point for America and Israel one that will lead to dangerous
times ahead for both Jews and believing Christians.
The immediate danger posed by Obama's speech is in its incredible re-writing
of the history of Jews, Christians and Muslims from Medieval times to the
present.
Obama, continually throughout his speech, talks of Islam's peaceful intent.
And while there are certainly Koranic verses that support this
interpretation, Islam has a long and bloody history of violence against
fellow Muslims, Jews and Christians.
Has Obama not heard about the Muslim's violent conquest of the Middle East,
Spain and half of Western Europe? Was he never taught that the Crusades
sought to turn back this Muslim onslaught that demanded subjugated
populations convert or die?
In his almost hour-long speech, there is not a single word about Islam's
well known and checkered past.
Ironically, the American president offered plenty of references to what he
sees are America's evils, such as its "colonialism" and history of slavery.
"For centuries, black people in America suffered the lash of the whip as
slaves and the humiliation of segregation," Obama told his audience, citing
a litany of American shortcomings. He failed to mention that Arab Muslims
were the greatest slave traders in the history of humanity.
According to Obama, Israelis, too, are guilty of wrongdoing, especially when
it comes to their supposed maltreatment of the Palestinians.
Isn't it odd an American president would go to a foreign country and slander
his own country and its long-time ally?
At the same time he praises unconditionally a religion and culture that
has a long history of being antithetical to the very values that have made
America a great nation?
Mr. Obama even has the unbelievable gall, when talking about the treatment
of Muslim women, to condemn Western countries for attempting to stop Muslim
women from using the full facial cover, or hijab. This is a symbol of Muslim
subjugation of women.
Listen to what Obama said: "Likewise, it is important for Western countries
to avoid impeding Muslim citizens from practicing religion as they see fit -
for instance, by dictating what clothes a Muslim woman should wear."
And Obama not only ignores the gross subjugation of women in many Arab
societies he does not mention even once the almost total religious
intolerance throughout the Muslim world against Christians and Jews.
In his speech, Obama's only plea for Muslim women living in Muslim countries
is that they should be afforded an education.
How about a discussion of the beheading of Arab women for "crimes" such as
adultery? How about the malicious treatment of women in Muslim countries who
choose not to wear the hijab?
Obama insists that Islam has promoted tolerance and that in Islamic
societies such ideals have flourished.
Obama claimed that "as a student of history" he understands more than most
the truth about "civilization's debt to Islam."
He added, "And throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and
deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality."
Does he not know that a Jew or Christian would be beheaded in Saudi Arabia
for practicing their religion today, now, this minute?
Of course, Obama offers not one example of where religious freedom is truly
tolerated in the Muslim world. Yet, he proudly told his audience that in
every state of the union and throughout the U.S. there exist more than 1,200
mosques.
But why, Mr. President, is there no Christian Church or Jewish synagogue
operating within the borders of Saudi Arabia? Not even one.
Why in many countries, including your host Egypt, Christian churches have
suffered vicious and continual persecution? Why is a once vibrant Cairo
Jewish community a home for the likes of Maimonides today practically
extinct?
Why, dear president, has the ancient Christian community in the West Bank
and places like Bethlehem been almost completely wiped out by the modern
Muslim onslaught?
"On the other hand," to quote you Mr. President, you avoided mentioning some
other truths.
Let's start with the Israeli Arabs who can claim one of the highest
standards of living in the Arab world. Indeed, they have more rights than
Arabs in any Muslim country, their religious freedom is completely
protected, and they even vote in free elections.
Tell me what Muslim country matches Israel's record in protecting its
minorities?
Even Arabs in the West Bank, during the time of Israeli control, saw their
standard of living rise dramatically. Today, Arabs there are among the best
educated in the world, thanks to Israel.
In your revisionist view, Israel has acted to harm these people. But it was
not Israel that could not abide by United Nations resolutions clearly
setting borders for both the state of Israel and an entity that had never
existed before named Palestine.
You cleverly omitted any discussion of these facts, or the continual attacks
against the state of Israel over six decades by its Muslim neighbors. Nor is
it the Israelis who persecute from time to time the Coptic Christians of
Egypt.
No, Mr. President, I do not accept your assertion that you are seeking
religious tolerance or that you are seeking to protect Jews. I do not accept
it because you are inventing a false history to fit your own agenda.
Mr. President, I am deeply disturbed that you would offer such a distortion
of truth in the hopes of creating a lasting peace. A lasting peace cannot be
created out of lies, distortions and half truths.
You profess to be a Christian. But you seem more intent on protecting
Muslims. In your speech you talked openly of your Muslim heritage, your
admiration of their way of life, and so forth. You said in your speech that
you have made one of your chief aims of your presidency repairing the image
of Islam.
Why did you hide these views from the American public during the recent
presidential campaign?
Why, as president, did you fully bow to the Saudi king, who refuses to allow
any religious freedom for any Christian or Jew?
You have made clear, by your words and assertions, that you are
re-positioning the United States away from Israel, America's lone democratic
ally in the Mid-East.
You have made clear through your statements and those of your minions that
Israel should, under no circumstances, prevent Iran from getting nuclear
weapons.
And yes, you have promised to retaliate against Iran if it ever attacks
Israel with nuclear weapons.
But you know full well that if Iran succeeds in its admitted goal of "wiping
the Jewish state off the map" and hits this tiny nation with nuclear
warheads there will be no Israel for the U.S. to retaliate on behalf of.
Some Jews may be naïve, but we are not stupid.
