Romney in Israel

Mitt Romney is to arrive in Israel this weekend, focusing the campaign spotlight not only on Israel policy, but on the American voters who live in Israel.

I get to vote for the next American president as a new oleh, an immigrant to Israel who retains American citizenship.  I am registered to vote in the November election.  That's important, because my living here solidifies my commitments to Israel.  Also, my views of the administration and events change when I watch news reports (in English) on Israeli, Russian, French, Chinese, and Arab TV stations that broadcast here, but not in America.  They have a very different take on stories from how the American press sees things.

There is a decidedly anti-Obama thread weaving through the American Jewish community in Israel.  We are uncomfortable and skeptical about his commitment to Israel.  Some believe that Mr. Obama, if not a Muslim himself, has deep sympathies for the Muslim world.  Elected to a second term, the president will pressure Israel no end to make life-threatening concessions to the Arabs in exchange for aid and protection under the American military umbrella.  This administration is setting records for military aid to Israel, and cooperation with Israel's defense and intelligence services.

    No sane Jew in Israel, America or anywhere in the world with voting rights in U.S. elections would vote for Obama.

      Did you read the article? It says this:

      "This administration is setting records for military aid to Israel, and cooperation with Israel's defense and intelligence services."

      Or are you just parroting the wingnut line?

      • RonMar

        i did read the article, and I am in Israel right now, for the 11th time since '04, working here. Did you know: This is an election year? That Obama habitually tries to cater to any and all groups he can to get votes? But he said he will go to Israel only if he is re-elected for a 2d term? That the Israelis don't trust Obama at all? The Israelis have known and tried to warn since he first appeared on the national scene that Obama is a Muslim? That Obama by Executive Orders gave millions of dollars to the Hamas Islamic jihad terrorists in the Gaza Strip to re-build and modernize Gaza City and more millions for Hamas Islamic jihad terrorists to immigrate from the Gaza Strip to guess where? That Obama has gone over much of the world apologizing to Muslims for you if you are an American and all other Americans? That Obama bowed to the Saudi King? That Muammar Qadafi said, when he was alive, "Obama is one of us [a Muslim], we can work with him? That Obama has installed Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamic jihadists in his tyrannical, despotic, evil regime, very close to him, e.g., Valerie Jarret, and Huma Abedin with SecState Hillary Clinton?
        There is much more, but I am waiting for your intelligent, yes or no responses to my questions above, not a Leftist Dem Lib/Prog Obamaniac knee-jerk or Parrot Book Squawk response from you.

        • Bighoss

          The President of the United States and Commander in Chief of Her Armed Forces is NOT A MUSLIM, notwithstanding the ignorant, biased, ludicrous ranting of nutjobs in the U.S. or Israel or anywhere else on earth. I do not respond to ultra-rightest, wingnut, True Believer drivel from such as YOU, my foregoing post being an exception.

          • RonMar

            You are lying, first to yourself, Littlepony. You can't keep your yap shut when someone tells the truth about your Dear Leader. You have responded twice to my posts, your responses both mindless and stupid.
            You offer no proof that Barack Hussein Barry Obama Sotero Davis is not a Muslim. Your assertion that he is not proves nothing except that you are determined to make a fool of yourself on a worldwide-available, public site as an Obamaniac, mentally ill and a danger to yourself and others like Britney Spears and the other recent Gollywood gals, to be handled like them – taken, psychiatrically evaluated and treated, not released back into society untill you are well enough, and then only under community control to insure you take your prescribed meds.
            Weakminded and puny as you are you failed to address my following questions to you: Do you know this is an election year? That Obama habitually tries to cater to any and all groups from which he can to get votes? But he said he will go to Israel only if he is re-elected for a 2d term? That the Israelis don't trust Obama at all? That Obama by Executive Orders gave millions of dollars to the Hamas Islamic jihad terrorists in the Gaza Strip to re-build and modernize Gaza City and more millions for Hamas Islamic jihad terrorists to immigrate from the Gaza Strip to guess where? That Obama has gone all over the world apologizing to Muslims for you if you are an American and all other Americans? That Obama bowed to the Saudi King? That Obama has installed Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamic jihadists in his tyrannical, despotic, evil regime, very close to him, e.g., Valerie Jarret, and Huma Abedin with SecState Clinton.
            Be a man, a real Bighoss and answer my questions. I answered yours. Why can't or wont' you answer mine. As I said, I do have more questions for you, but try to grow up please and answer first the questions I have already asked of you. Come on the kids need a Bighoss to ride at Obama's birthday party in Chicago, not a Littlepony.

    I pray that people everywhere would recognize the Muslim threat to all non Muslims no matter where they are, and that all would see where obama stands in regard to the Muslim world and also to the Israelies.

    • Bighoss

      My prayers include a request that extreme deluded knee-jerk anti-Muslim sentiment will give way to a careful and rational analysis of reality, which is that there are indeed some Muslim extremists who would like to see me dead, but that there are indeed peaceful Muslims who don't buy into the jihadist notions of the extremists.

      • RonMar

        Littlepony, you really do make ignorant posts. All Muslims say the same confession of faith that leads to rejection of any God but Allah and exalts the self-proclaimed prophet Muhammad over all others. As such the Muslim confession of faith sets the stage for the intent of Muslims, stated repeatedly and loudly, to take over the world for Allah, convert all unbelievers who they call infidels, subject the infidels to dhimmi under Shar'ia Law, or at their whim to murder them and apostates to Islam as well. Yet you come on this worldwide-available, public site and make a fool of yourself, this time aiding, abetting, supporting and apologizing for Muslims. You are worse than I thought, a real cowardly weakling and ignorant going to stupid in your posts.
        I suppose you've noticed many here agree that Obama is a Muslim.

        • Bighoss

          Wallow in across-the-board condemnation of all Muslims, if that is your schtick, but you are deluded.

          • RonMar

            Littlepony, I have studied Islam with Muslims most of my adult life – almost 50 years now – in graduate school and by sharing faith beliefs with Muslims in the U.S. and their homelands. From Israel I visit Jordan and Egypt presently to spend time with Muslims in Israel, Jordan and Egypt. What I know about Islam I have learned from Muslims firsthand. They do not argue with me when I repeat back to them what they have taught me.
            I am trying to educate you and others, but you are free to wallow in your willful ignorance going to stupidity and your misrepresentation that I condemn Muslims at all, let alone, across-the-board. I only share truth about Islam and Muslims.
            I asked you to whom do you pray? God or Allah? If you are a Muslim faith believer there is no reason for you to be ashamed. You can answer the questions. I do not at the moment believe you are a Muslim for very specific reasons of Muslim behavior and your posts.
            You say you "pray" for specific things. Muslims do not do that in their 5x daily prayers. Muslims recite memorized text from the Qur'an, kneeling and facing Mecca, bowing deeply and gesticulating with their hands, arms and bodies in learned ritual ways symbolizing certain acts of worship and cleansing before worship.
            That is yet another free lesson for you and other readers here on the truths of Islam as Muslims have taught me, and I as I have practiced with them to understand thoroughly their faith beliefs and practices. I have done the same with practically all other contemporary religions, and am therefore assured that Christian faith belief is the choice for me.
            I do not believe you are a Muslim, but you are clearly, however, an aider, abetter, supporter of and apologist for Islamic jihadist terrorists and only a fool, Muslim or non-Muslim does those things. You need to get down off your high horse, learn to listen to others and learn how to learn without being so rude, offensive, aggressive and lying, first to yourself.
            Remember you said you would not post to such as me, but you cannot keep yourself from posting attempted insults to me. Here is another free lesson for you: You cannot insult me. I serve only one Master, and you are not Him. His name is the Lord, God, Jesus the Christ-Messiah, my personal Savior.
            I continue praying now for you.

      • RonMar

        You pray? To whom? God or Allah?

  • Randy131

    Too bad the Jews in the USA don't feel the same as the American Jews in Israel, but then the media keep the Jews in the USA from knowing the truth about Obama's anti-Israeli foreign policy, despite him allowing sales of arms to them, mostly to help our economy. People think that Obama is giving away the aid to Israel, but that's not true, they are given credits for purchase, which just about all is spent on what they need for their military, and if Obama ever reduced the amount of aid (credits) given Israel, he would find himself in a politiacal storm, but his own policy toward Isarel is a whole different ballgame, as far as having to pay a political price to the other elected officials of our government who back Israel, as he would if he reduced the aid to Israel. Obama is a Muslim, and if re-elected will cause to happen to Israel what Biblical Prophecy says in the Book of Revelation. The Jew's fate are in their own hands when it comes to our November national elections, for a vote for Obama is a vote for the death of the Jewish state of Israel.

  • Bighoss

    The vast majority of Americans have no idea just how blasphemous and heretical Mormonism is. And if they knew how absurd many of its claims are, they would be automatically suspicious of the common sense of Romney or anyone else who would cast their lot with such outrageous cultists.

    • RonMar

      You are one FUBAR – fouled up beyond all recognition – Littlepony. You defend Muslims but condemn fellow and sister Christians – the Mormons who have cast off the old beliefs and ways of Mormonism and are not by any means cultists but rather true, loving, caring, gracious, worthy of emulation, God-loving Christians.
      I am beginning to wonder if you even know any Mormons or Muslims, or are only spewing your hate that had been taught to you by other haters like you.
      I assure you as for me and my house we will vote for anyone within reason which Romney certainly is rather than for Obama, the mystery man about which so little is known and provable but who is most likely not eligible for the job, certainly is not qualified for it, as POTUS/CINC, and is just as likely a Muslim practicing taqiyya – deception of infidels – and is in fact an enemy foreign agent usurper to the office of POTUS/CINC.
      At best Barack Hussein Barry Obama Sotero Davis is strongly influenced by Islam as he has said many times, in many places and by many ways himself, and he most certainly is not a Christian. I believe it best that you shut up, stop posting, stop spewing your hate for Christians, stop your aiding, abetting, supporting and apologizing for Muslims and go learn some things before you ever post anywhere about anything again. You have no credibility with sane, knowledgeable people, not one believes you presently. You are wasting time, effort and needlessly taking up space on the posting site(s).
