Unreal. Obama Releases Statement on Jerusalem Terrorist Bus Bombing – Talks About Palestinian Victims
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, March 23, 2011, 12:19 PM
Unbelievable.

Our far left president released a statement today following the bus station bombing in Jerusalem today. He talked about Palestinian victims.
“The United States calls on the groups responsible to end these attacks at once and we underscore that Israel, like all nations, has a right to self-defense,” he said. “We also express our deepest condolences for the deaths of Palestinian civilians in Gaza yesterday. We stress the importance of calm and urge all parties to do everything in their power to prevent further violence and civilian casualties.”
Here’s more on those innocent Palestinians Obama was talking about.
On Tuesday, IDF forces responded to projectiles fired at Israeli territory from the northern Gaza Strip. The attack took place in the afternoon when projectiles were fired toward the area of the Sha’ar Hanegev Regional Council. In response, IDF forces fired mortars to the point from which rockets were launched resulting in the injury of uninvolved civilians. Among them was the boy taken for medical treatment in Israel today.

This is getting too depressing. How can you censor profanity when that is all the response this &^%$^ deserves?

All he is doing is voting “present” again. That’s all he ever does.

What #1 said.
shibumi commented:
Thank you President Anti- Semite.
retire05 commented:
TriGuy, Obama’s damn sure doing more than voting “present”. He is letting the world know that killing Israelis is not a big deal, but one dead Palestinian is more than he will tolerate. Seems he has a vested interest in them. Perhaps he is looking for more Gaza phone banks in 2012 to fill his campaign coffers just as there were Gaza phones banks for Obama in 2008.
retire05 commented:
And let’s not forget that Obama was a devotee of Edward Said (a personal friend of William Ayers and a Palestianian America) as well as talking about how he had had dinner so many times at the Chicago home of Mona and Rashid Khalidi, another Palestinian American.
How any Jewish American can back this Marxist is beyond me. Don’t they understand that he would all Tel Aviv to go up in flames before he would lift a finger to help Israel?

if obama really was a crypto-muslim, then would he saying anything differently?
nope.
iow: he might as well be a crypto-muslim.
obama’s predilection for being cold and tough on jews and israel and easy and empathetic to muslims might actually stem from a deep belief in postmodern leftist credo which blames all the problems of the 3rd world on colonialism and considers israel colonialist.
this is of course bs.
as china and india and south korea prove, all the third world needs to uplift itself out of poverty is more industrialization and globalization; ie: a greater relationship with the first world – and not with welfare, but with sweat shops, and power plants and factories and the like.
obamna’s leftist pals like mr and mrs ayers and the scum in code pink were the organizers of the flotilla and support hamas and other (fellow) terrorists.
Israel will not get a fair shake until obama – and his pro-muslim antizionist postmodern policies – exit the white house.

I’m thinking maybe American Jews and Israel are two different things. That is, maybe a lot of American Jews don’t really like Israel. Is that possible?
Redwine commented:
This despicable man and his evil regime intend to destroy Israel using the Soros-initiated, Samantha Power-enabled R2P (Responsibility to Protect) UN policy.
Note how the media supports Barack Hussein’s agenda:

Andreas K. commented:
Alana, you’re right. German Jews and Israel are also two things. The German Jews have a so called “central council of the Jews in Germany”, the “Zentralrat der Juden in Deutschland”. And this official organisation is very busy kissing the butts of who? The mohammedans. They are oh so concernced about “right wing extremism” in Germany, while police statistics clearly show that THE problem of political violence by now is left wing extremism.

Granny commented:
That IWonWTF speaks out of both sides of his mouth is no surprise. As far as the “innocent Palestinians” go, for many a year now every few weeks the “palestinians” lob a rocket or two into Israel and Israel drops a bomb on the site where the rocket was fired from.
You would have to be deaf, dumb, blind and practically dead to not understand that just as surely as the sun will set this evening, if you are standing in the place where a rocket was fired into Israel an hour or two after it was fired, there is an exceedingly good chance that you have an imminent appointment to meet your maker.
There is simply no way that any rational being can consider those “innocent palestinians” anything other than blood sacrifices by their brethren.
grizzlybare commented:
Just like Obama……..smooching Muslim butt, again. He can’t help it…….his
extensive programming beats normal freedom of rational thought. He’s a regular Robbie the Robot, with an anti-Western chip deep in his circuit board.

From The Lid:
—snip—
* March 6: A sanitation worker from the Jerusalem Municipality lost his hand on Sunday when a garbage bag he was lifting exploded, in what police believe was the first terrorist attack in the capital in more than a year. The garbage bag was on a traffic island in the middle of Derech Hebron, next to the Mar Elias Monastery, in south Jerusalem, almost in the Gilo neighborhood. Another sanitation workerI who was working alongside the first victim was lightly injured by the explosion. Magen David Adom paramedics evacuated both men to Hadassah University Medical Center in Ein Kerem.
* March 11: Terrorists Sneak into Jewish Town of Itamar, killing 5 members of the Fogel Family three of which were young children, all of which were brutally massacred.
* March 18-March 23: During the past six days there have been 77 “projectiles” have been fired into Israel from Gaza–67 Mortars, 3 Grad Missiles, 7 Qassams
o 3/18 10 Mortars
o 3/19 50 Mortars
o 3/20 2 Qassam Missiles, 1 Grad Missile, 1 Mortar
o 3/21 1 Qassam Missile
o 3/22 4 Qassam Missiles, 4 Mortars

I can see, and hope it doesn’t happen this way: someone in Israel is going to finally snap, finally “had it up to here”, like a bear that has been poked by too many sticks.
Then the US, led by Obama, is going to start events that lead to all the nations on earth attacking Israel. Then all hell breaks loose worldwide.
What the hell. It already is.

Everyone who hasn’t should read RedWine’s comment in an earlier thread:
http://gatewaypundit.rightnetwork.com/2011/03/bus-bomb-blast-in-jerusalem-2-dead-several-injured/#comment-292156
The Bible says that every nation on the earth will attack Israel, in the end, all at once, all in one big battle. It looks like there are forces which are trying to bring this attack about.
Not a surprise to me. Just another proof of my faith in the scriptures. Add the evidence to the massive pile. The pile of evidence has been growing FASTER lately.

Any civilian casualties from Obomba’s actions in Libya?
succotash commented:
I agree wholeheartedly with almost all of the posts above. Everything is playing out as was intended since Obama was elected and the goal is to bring America down financially and morally. Our freedom is disappearing on a daily basis. God help us.
greenfairie commented:
What he’s doing is creating equivalence between a terrorist attack INTENDED to kill/maim civilians and an act of defense that happened to kill civilians, without the context of course of several missiles being lobbed into Israel (Obama left that out, as well as the family massacre). At best, Obama wants to be seen as “neutral” toward Israel. At worst, he wants Israel gone as badly as Hamas does. As another response noted, he was a protege and friend of some very pro-Arabist/pro-PLO types and the Israel-hating Rev. Wright.
I hope everybody in Israel makes haste for the Western Wall and ask G-d to pretty please make sure there’s a President Palin in 2013. Now there’s someone who will always have Israel’s back. No apologies!

I know many Jewish Americans who are rethinking Obama. And believe me, I live in an area where there are many of them.
Most Jews are liberals. (Being a Catholic, I admit that too many of us are, also.) My ultra-lib Jewish neighbor (who is very well off) said he’s not voting for Obama again. He’s also not supporting any conservatives, he said, or ‘Evan Bayh’ types– just staying home.
I hope a lot of disillusioned Obots stay home.

I quoted from and linked to this post at my blog here:
Barry’s Sympathy for Evil
http://zillablog.marezilla.com/2011/03/barrys-sympathy-for-evil.html
Immediately after the Fogel family massacre, he condemned Israel for building Jewish homes.
It’s a predictable pattern with Obama now – islamists kill a bunch of non-muslims for jihad and Barry chooses from one or more of the following actions:
* urge everyone not to “rush to judgement” about the islamists
* downplay the fact that it was an islamic terrorist act of jihad
* blame or condemn Israel
* express sympathy for muslim “victims” in the wake of terrorist attacks by muslims against non-muslims
* ignore it completely
cj commented:
His words and actions towards Israel shouldnt shock anybody. Thats what his religious background, liberation theology, is all about. Its all about The OPPRESSED eventually turning the tables on the OPRESSORS, and in his mind, Israel OPRESSES the Palestinians….. So he acts accordingly to that….
Sandy commented:
bg With a name like Barack Hussein Obama always taking the side of the Muslim extremists in this Judeo/Christian nation–we have a right to suspect his motivation as well as his background.
Sandy commented:
Obama will be a one term President because he doesn’t empathize of the problems of the nation he serves. The rich are the enemy, as are Seniors, the middle class, working Americans, the Fishing Industry, Oil and Gas, Nuclear Energy and Jews. Who in the hell is going to be left to vote for him?
In Reagan’s words ARE WE BETTER OFF THAN WE WERE 4 YEARS AGO?
Gothguy commented:
Dear Citizens of Israel,
Please do not view the position of this imbecile as the views of most Americans, they are not.
Also, if I could, I would apologize for those Americans who voted this assclown in as President, but since I didn’t vote for him, I cannot.
Intelligent Americans know the bill of goods that the American media sold us.

Obadiah – Chapter 1
1. The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom; We have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
2. Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.
3. The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation [is] high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
4. Though thou exalt [thyself] as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.
5. If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave [some] grapes?
6. How are [the things] of Esau searched out! [how] are his hidden things sought up!
7. All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee [even] to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, [and] prevailed against thee; [they that eat] thy bread have laid a wound under thee: [there is] none understanding in him.
8. Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy the wise [men] out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
9. And thy mighty [men], O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
10. For [thy] violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
11. In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou [wast] as one of them.
12. But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.
13. Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid [hands] on their substance in the day of their calamity;
14. Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.
15. For the day of the LORD [is] near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
16. For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, [so] shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.
17. But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
18. And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be [any] remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken [it].
19. And [they of] the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and [they of] the plain the Philistines: and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin [shall possess] Gilead.
20. And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel [shall possess] that of the Canaanites, [even] unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which [is] in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
21. And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’S.

Taqiyyotomist commented:
BTW, all. If you want to get the most out of reading the Bible, it helps to know where the places are:
Edom = Egypt and parts of Saudi Arabia
…and who the people are:
Esau = the brother of Jacob
Jacob was Isaac’s son. Jacob was given the name “Israel” by God. All his descendants are who are called Jews.
Esau is ISLAM. This prophecy is against ISLAM. And it will come to pass as it was written.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
7. All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee [even] to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, [and] prevailed against thee; [they that eat] thy bread have laid a wound under thee: [there is] none understanding in him.
“Thee” here refers to God’s nation, Israel, who are being spoken to. (IMHO)
All the men of thy confederacy…”
“The men who were at peace with thee…”
Of course, since 1948, “Palestine”, and the rest of the Arab and Syrian nations, pretending peace and breaking peace in the same day more than a thousand times…
And of course, America, who have pretended peace with Israel for more than a few decades, and who seem about to join, via their deceptively-elected “leader”, a coalition of nations hell-bent on betraying Israel to Esau.
“There is none understanding in him…”
It sure seems that way sometimes.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
ALL: If you understand what I have just written in my comments, that whole chapter will make a whole lot more sense to you.
also:
Teman = another tribe in Edom (Saudi Arabia/Egypt).
It’s not hard, once you see.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
The Bible is real, and it is true, and it is God’s message to US.
Any who doubt will soon be shown that this is true.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
It is a prophecy, when written, could not be properly understood.
It is one which could only possibly be understood within the last few years, I think.
In Christ’s time, the prophecies concerning the coming Messiah were OLD. ANCIENT.
And the “experts” were ALL wrong, because they ALL had, in their scholarly, short-sighted fashion, decided upon the “meanings”, the exigesis, the dogma of the whole idea.

You think the Commies plan long-term?
God had todays news planned 6000 years back. And he wrote about how it would all go down. Just so we would know. And so we could choose.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
11. In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou [wast] as one of them.
“his forces” here refers to Israel again.
This is about to happen. And we, and the West, and our Allies in the UN and NATO, are “the strangers”.
Again, IMHO.

It’s very simple… HE IS TRASH! He was sired by trash, raised by trash, taught by trash, mentored by trash, married trash and only associates with TRASH! Everything this loser says or does is wrong and against all things right and just!
Don’t listen to him, don’t listen to his regime, don’t vote for anyone with a (D) next to their name, vote him and his ilk out, repeal everything he has done while in office, after he is voted out of office educate your family and friends on what this trash has done and wanted to do, expose him as what he is… the worst person to ever be president, the worst president and the biggest piece of trash to ever hold high office! Very simple.
Having 5 stories a day on what this idiot said, did, plans, spent, didn’t do, won’t do, lied about, pushed, passed, pandered, blamed, deflected and bullied makes a great story and is a way to vent, but we all know the only real news would be if he did the right thing for a CHANGE. Same with the NYT, WP, CNN, MSNBC, LAT, HLN and HP aka the DNC Pravda, the only news is when a story isn’t liberal propaganda.
We are right, they are wrong, end of story!
Mike commented:
Well, if Obama gave me that stern warning not to hit Israel, and I was a Palestinian, I’d be quaking in my boots…from laughing too hard. There is only one answer now for Obama, the Union Communists, and Obama’s sympathizers. Only one. Will a leader for the rebellion in the USA come to the forefront please? We need a man who is military-trained, Brilliant strategist, Charismatic, and Courageous. We need a man who is good, merciful, and yet resolved to end this takeover of America. We need a man who can train others to lead, who loves the constitution and the Bible. We need a man to lead the American Citizen and take back this country. Where is this man?

Jerry C commented:
@#74 jd-”Do not forget WE are responsible for this. WE allowed Obama to be elected with our half-hearted support for RINO McCain.”
I didn’t vote for the Muslim-in-Thief so I am not responsible. I worked hard to convince others that his change wasn’t what was best for us, but to no avail.
Anyway, on a grander scale, God is in control. As Rose & Taqiyyotomist have mentioned, God is bringing all nations to the valley of Har Meggido…to judge them. God is the one who raises up kings & kingdoms and brings them down. Unfortunately, America has rejected God and no longer have His blessings.
Maybe God is raising up NObama to bring America to the valley of Har Meggido for judgement. God raised up pharaoh in egypt so the world would see His 10 judgements. My guess is God is doing the same to NObama. Buckle up, we’re in for a rough ride.
