As President Obama gave his mushy feel good speech (I won’t call it historic; the fellatio artists in the media did that enough) about how both sides in the Middle East need to just sacrifice for the good of the people, I have to wonder if he even is aware that the hatred the Muslim world feels for Israel is 90% of what’s blocking the peace process. Don’t believe me? Take a look at how our “friends” in Egypt treat Israelis…
After the verdict was read in the Cairo courtroom, Nabih al-Wahsh, an Egyptian attorney, jumped for joy and received an avalanche of telephone calls from friends congratulating him on his latest legal victory.
Al-Wahsh has managed to extract a ruling from Egypt’s Administrative Court — which rules in disputes between citizens and the state — that would force the Egyptian government to strip Egyptians married to Israelis of their Egyptian citizenship. The May 19 ruling was met with the cheers of millions in this populous Arab country.
“This is an historic ruling,” al-Wahsh said to reporters after the ruling. “Egyptians married to Israelis are dangerous to Egypt’s national security, acting in ways that contradict the constitution of their country and Islamic laws,” he said.
Calls flooded into TV talk shows discussing the verdict and readers posted comments on Web sites of newspapers that wrote about it.
Everyone appeared united in elation at the ruling, as well as in hatred of the Jewish state and everything that related to it, even if it was originally Egyptian.
“Israel clamors to become an integral part of the Arab world and to do so it lures Egyptians to get married to its women,” one reader wrote to a local newspaper, commenting on the ruling.
Nothing but paranoid hatred from the Arab world. So deep is the hatred that the Palestinians accused Israel of sicking rats on their country to torment them. So deep is the hatred that the Palestinians elected Hamas, a known terrorist organization, to run their country. So deep is their hatred that no matter how much aid the Palestinian Government gets, there has not been one new school, hospital, roads or courthouses (more on that tomorrow) in 16 years and so deep is the hatred for Israel that the Palestinian Government keeps its people in refugee camps (instead of building homes for them) to foment the hatred they need and to use them as pawn in their “oppression” and terrorism regime.
So while our President asks Israel to sacrifice more and give up more and fight less, he ignores the insane amount of hatred that’s been the real barricade to peace since day one. That’s what you get when you elect a guy who’s got no foreign policy experience, no international relations knowledge, and no media to point it out to the rest of the country. You get a President who strives to make all sides in an argument equal when it just isn’t so.
Maybe instead of asking Israel to sacrifice yet again it’s time to tell the Arab world enough is enough with the scapegoating of Israel for all their problems. If those words came out of a President’s mouth ever, that would be truly historic.
