Unreal. The Obama Administration is funding a pro-Palestinian ad campaign in Israel.
The UPI reported, via FOX Nation:
The campaign launched Sunday includes the faces of senior Palestinian Authority officials Saeb Erekat, Jibril Rajoub and Yasser Abed Rabo, and Riad Malki, Palestinian foreign affairs minister, Yedioth Aharonoth said.
The aim of the campaign is to persuade Israelis that peace partners on the Palestinian side truly exist, and calls for support of a two-state solution, the Tel Aviv newspaper said.
The U.S. government was approached to fund the campaign by the Geneva Initiative founders, who drew up an agreement in 2003 to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the newspaper said.
The U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, invested close to $250,000 toward the creation of the billboards, the newspaper said.
Israel Matsav has more.

Which “peace partners” would those be? Hezbal’lah up in Lebanon firing on Israeli border towns regularly and assassinating troops on the Israeli side trimming a tree? Perhaps Hamas, shelling from Gaza non-stop? Maybe it is the Turks, abandoning their sworn treaty?
Name JUST ONE “peace partner” – because it sure as hell isn’t the USA these days!
Militant Conservative commented:
All I can think of is “premature detonation”.
The most corrupt administration ever is really going to piss off American Patriots. WE PAID FOR THIS????
Vote the evil bastards out. Republican or Democrat.
It is America or them. I say we fire the bums, lest we get mad enough to draw blood. powder is dry.

Unbelieveable…. WTF do these morons think is a waste of money ???
People should be fired and made to repay the country for this joke. Its not a ton of money but about 250 families could have used that money instead of terrorists
gus commented:
Can any of you give me ONE. Just ONE piece of evidence that McScrew-up von Jug ears is a Christain.
I’m willing to entertain you LIBTARDS all night, but JUST ONE piece Factual evidence would suffice.
Only a beltway MORON or a a brain dead LIBTARD could not see OBAMA is a CULTURALLY DEDICATED MUSLIM.
Granny commented:
gus, oddly enough I do not know a single Christian that believes that Obama is a Christian. I can think of dozens of avowed athiests, muslim brotherhood members and so forth who insist that he is – but since they are pointedly NOT Christian themselves, they really don’t know what it is they speak of.
Just_Saying commented:
When will we get control of Obummer’s slush funds?? Congress was supposed to have control of the purse-strings, not some muslim traitor!

gus commented:
But Granny. Ojugears SAYS he is a CHRISTIAN.
He is not. Nor has he ever been.
That FACT tells me 2 or 3 things. One. He is a liar. 2 he cannot relate to me at all. 3 there is a reason he lies and a reason LIBTARDS listen.

Cleanup on aisle 9!

Obama should donate money to causes out of his own salary. Not out of my tax dollars. There outta be a law!

That’s interfering in another countries policies. I thought that was what the apology tour was for.
Chippy commented:
Per David Limbaugh’s new book, “Crimes Against Liberty”….”Obama has given nearly a billion dollars to Hamas-ruled Gaza while undermining our ally Israel at almost every turn.”
Fabulous read.

Fair is fair.
America gives poor struggling Israel $3.5 billion worth of welfare every year…by far the biggest recipient of U.S. foreign aid.

OUTRAGE! Now can we do something about paying the Taliban to let our supply convoys through the mountains of Afghanistan? And no, this is not an Obamination; it has been going on for years.
We now join your Tea party temper tantrum already in progress.
pjean commented:
“Funding” is not the proper word for this administration. Instead it’s called “spending other people’s money”.
Colo Kid commented:
How can it be that we fund this type of insidious
filth? Well, the Boma has heavily seeded the State Dept, Defense Dept and various other federal agencies with his commie/socialist/marxist kin that do his bidding—automatically.
wanumba commented:
What was the last count of the kassam rockets fired into Israel around Sderot? More than 2,000. What makes the Administration think their duplicitous “messaging” rhetoric trumps expoding incoming ordnance? Reality is far more durable and immovable than they try to make it out to be.
USAID under the Democrats has been such a waste and a genuine embarrassment. It used to build roads and do useful neutral things, like vaccinations, but when Bill Clinton took over, USAID became the world’s biggest condom distributor, and supported panda rights. Talk about turning off the host countries. Third World nations thought Americans had gone looney tune. Roads, wells, clean water, vaccinations are things of yore. Now, USAID’s paying for big pix of terrorists to stare down at Israelis all day long.
GAH!
Gack!
Complain to your elected representatives who have been AWOL across the country. Support Israel by buying from Israeli companies. They are shoestring, but they have good products to sell.
Alana commented:
Speaking of Obama and Christianity, I found an old interview today in which Obama was asked about his religion at length.
In this portion,if he prayed often:
OBAMA:
Uh, yeah, I guess I do.
It’s not formal, me getting on my knees.
I think I have an ongoing conversation with God. I think throughout the day, I’m constantly asking myself questions about what I’m doing, why am I doing it.
http://blog.beliefnet.com/stevenwaldman/2008/11/obamas-interview-with-cathleen.html#ixzz0y3NBul7K
Hilarious! Throughout the day, he’s talking to God. By asking himself how he’s doing and answering himself!
Read the whole article to see just how much of a Christian he absolutely is not.

18% of people THINK Obama is a secret muslim—-the other 82% KNOW he is.
DaMav commented:
This Administration has taken leave of its senses. Not only is this an attempt to meddle in internal Israeli affairs, it is an insult to the intelligence of most Israelis.
Can anyone imagine these nutballs in the Obama Administration buying billboard space in Lebanon for example, pushing Israel as a ‘partner’?
Historian commented:
“Not only is this an attempt to meddle in internal Israeli affairs…”
Why shouldn’t America meddle in Israeli internal affairs?
We meddle with every other countries’ affairs, and Israel is our biggest recipient of foreign aid.

Opus #6 commented:
Histerian, your attempt at making a moral equivalency between Israel and Palestinians is disgusting. Israel is the only middle eastern country that has freedom of religion, democracy, and equal rights for gays and lesbians. There is no killing of apostates or adulterers in Israel. For you to hold up our aid to our traditional ALLY Israel as equivalent to HAMAS is grotesque.
I suppose to you, blowing up children in a pizza parlor on purpose is all in a day’s work.
Historian commented:
Opus,
Why shouldn’t i point out that prosperous Israel receives more American foreign aid than any other country on a blog that is ostensibly about cutting government waste?

Opus,

………..
Israel isn’t prosperous. It’s just getting by.
Their Arab brothers (Father Abraham) are sitting on vast oil reserves, drive diamond-studded cars, own slaves and hire foreigners to do all their manual labor for them.
So, the real question is why does the USA give the Arabs a dime when they have bazillions of bucks they use to maintain their indulged royalty of kings, princes and princesses, and develop helpful things like hand amputation devices for sharia courts and kassam rockets to launch daily into Israel?
Why aren’t we giving Israel MORE?
Historian commented:
“Why aren’t we giving Israel MORE?”
Um, because America’s broke and Israel is doing far better than “just getting by?”
Opus #6 commented:
I can’t wait until we get grown-ups back in the executive branch, who remember who our allies are, and who our allies are not.
I bet out allies miss the good ole’ days, too. In fact they say as much in the news.
Hysterian, isn’t it time to send in your timecard to Soros, inc? Time and a half for after-hours commentary….

I knew our dear “historian” would support the people who think Hitler was a great guy and did the right thing.
“Kill the infidels where you find them”
“…until the rock would cry ‘Muslim, there is a Jew hiding be hind me, come and cut off his head!’”
But islam is peace and we should support them because they just want a proper peace with the “evil Jooooos”(tm) who stole their land, right?
Funny, how do does ~1,400 years of mohammedan aggression towards the West AND the East work with that?
Andreas K. commented:
I have to remove the “does” in the last paragraph, no idea how that slipped in.

Of course Obama is a muslim. He will go even more radical from now until 2012 to position Hillary as a “moderate. Then he will retire. That way she can continue his socialist policies without nearly as much resistance.

That CBC article is from 2005. Isn’t that a bit outdated? Lots of things have changed since then.

Aid and comfort to the enemy. Treason in the strictest definition. Powder is dry.
Freddy commented:
Obama spent 20+ years listening to anti-semitic J Wright.
Obama thinks the problem in the middle east is the Jews. He thinks an advertising campaign can seperate those ‘racist Jews’ from their bigotted hatred.
Obama does not understand that the side in opposition to Israel wants to kill every last Jew in the world. Just like his old pastor does!
What Obama does not understand, and his continuing rambling about settlements shows, is that this conflict has NEVER been about land!
aprilnovember811 commented:
Is he going to show them how to poison the food supply? Now why would anyone think Obama’s a Muslim? No, he’s not, Katie Tokyo Rose Couric said he’s not.
From Big Peace: Today, Tuesday, August 31st, “the Muslim Brotherhood-associated “Coordinating Council of Muslim Organizations” (CCMO) will bring 25-30 Muslim leaders of 20 national Muslim groups to attend a special workshop presented by the White House and U.S. Government agencies (Agriculture, Education, Homeland Security, Health and Human Services etc.) to provide the groups “funding, government assistance and resources.” The workshop will apparently provide special access for these Muslim Brotherhood organizations: the organizers pledge to provide “direct access” and “cut through red tape.” Government and Muslim groups will hold an Iftar dinner (breaking the fast of Ramadan) after the workshop.”
aprilnovember811 commented:
“Of course Obama is a muslim. He will go even more radical from now until 2012 to position Hillary as a “moderate. Then he will retire. That way she can continue his socialist policies without nearly as much resistance.”
Hillary is Obama, Obama is Hillary. She is tied to him forever. She would be wise to move on, unless of course we can prosecute her also.
jorgen commented:
Surely now 85% of the population must believe that Obama is a Muslim. The only question is whether he is a radical islamist.

You’re dodging, didn’t want to talk about those diamond studded, gold-plated Rolls-Royces the Arab ROYALTY are driving about, with chauffeurs and slaves to wash them twice a day so they gleam in the desert sunshine. IF the slave doesn’t do a good job, he gets beaten for it.
Ramadan’s a great show of public piety for the rich when one can sleep all day long and then break the fast and chow down all night long, letting the servants do the work.
With all that mega-moola, and more to come as they pump gazillions more barrels of oil to sell to pay for marble palaces, why do these countries need US military assistance? DO they REALLY need gold-plated faucets and emerald-inlayed wash-basins or could they have used some of that for their military defense? Have they just hired their Janissaries so AS USUAL, someone ELSE does the HEAVY LIFTING? Of course, at home, slaves one doesn’t PAY, but one DOES have to feed and clothe them. Crappy second-hand is good enough so the princesses can budget to buy their haute couture in Paris or Milan.
Bullied by the filthy NOBILITY RICH of dozens of countries, neighbors who number in the hundreds of millions against less than 10 million, in an oil-deficit country, is Israel; tiny no oil, no king, princes or princesses, no diamond-studded Ferraris, just grit. Of that ten million, only 6 million are Jews, just now barely recovered to the number who were SLAUGHTERED in World War II, 50 years ago, including the aged survivors of that atrocity.
First time in history no one is rooting for the put-upon, down to basics underdog, struggling against constant harrassment by their OWN rich COUSINS.
Well, except GOD of course. There is no other reason Israel could have survived this long with what little they have.
Every time in history people have scoffed at that, they’ve had their asses and their heads returned on platters.
