Selection of Israel critic for US delegation to human rights forum raises concern

[Nimzovik]

First Obama snubs Netanyahu, the Head of State of Israel, via appearing on a TV talk show instead of meeting with our ally, Israel.

Now we see this foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/17/watchdogs-oppose-appointment-israel-critic-al-marayati-to-us-delegation/

We can **now **see where this President Obama is heading regarding Israel, can’t we.

What else can we expect from a man that spent sooooo many years in The reverend Writght’s church -yes? The very same church that awarded the, IMHO, racist and anti Israel Louis Farrakhan ( see here: washingtonpost.com/national/on-faith/louis-farrakhan-blasts-jews-obama/2012/02/27/gIQAUwsZeR_story.html ) an award!

Correct me if I am wrong… do not the scriptures say God will Bless those that bless Israel and curse those that curse Israel?

Is this a path America wishes to trod?

Louis Farrakhan isn’t just anti israel, he is anti white. How on earth he came to my hometown to give a speech at northern illinois university about how we need to destroy the white devil because all white people are inherently evil and blah blah blah. He was greeted with thunderous applause from the all black audience minus the white sell outs. The man wants a race war. He needs to be taken off the public speaking stage. Let him go back to his all black klan meetings and spread their poisonous hate amongst their own. Decent and honest people like the rest of society doesn’t need nor want to hear it.

Astounding…

That passage does not refer to the modern state called Israel. The Catholic Church is the new Israel, so America will only be cursed to the extent it curses the Church.

Obama’s refusal to bow down to Israeli interests is one of the few policies of his that I actually like.

 

[Vangaurdian]

Don’t worry Obama will be stooping just as low as Romney to kiss Israel’s you-know-what in the next debate.

Zio-nutters fear not, both candidates want your kids to die for Israel.

Considering that Israel has stolen our nukes, attacked our ships, infiltrated our government, prodded us into needless wars, extorted billions of “foreign aid”, and Lord knows what else…

With an “ally” like Israel, who needs enemies?

I didn’t know that all US Government appointments were supposed to be subject to approval or disapproval of the Israeli government.

Yes, the Scriptures do say that. But they’re not speaking of the secular Zionist state we call Israel.

Read up on black liberation theology. During Obama’s years at Trinity United, the church followed the teachings of Professor James Cone, a a professor at Union Theological Seminary and founder of the black liberation theology movement. In a memoir Cone wrote in the 1980s, Cone stated: “Together, black religion and Marxist philosophy may show us the way to build a completely new society.” Do you think Obama heeded Cone’s call for the transformation of America?

Yah… right… If u b thinkin God is forgetting Israel just because we Catholics are the ‘New Israel’ methinks you should think again…

Bolding Mine:

Oh yes? You do not think Israel should voice concern over the appointment of an apparent anti Semite to America?

Do we Americans not voice our concerns over other Heads of state like Iran?

Heh heh heh…

I don’t think this thread is supposed to go in a theological direction, but I will say one thing.

Of course, God is not “forgetting” Israel. God cannot forget His children, and all of us are God’s children. We are all sinners who need the grace of God. His door is always open to all of us, especially to those who persist in their rejection of His Son.

It is not surprising that Pres. Obama is hostile toward all of our closest allies, that includes Israel. During the primaries in 2008 he said that he would meet with Iran and Hugo Chavez
with out precondintions. He also said that there was no special reletionship between the
US and Great Britain. He wants to negociate with Iran, so a strong partnership with Israel
is out of the question.

Israel can like it or lump it. The United States doesn’t need Israel’s approval and they need us far more than we need them. Salam al-Marayati is only one of four members of the delegation and he is known for his work in interfaith dialogue; which is one of three major topics at the conference this year.

Yes… This is indeed alarming.

Israel is our one trusted foothold in the Middle East. I would ***not ***be distancing America from that.

Well**.…I** for one do not want an anti - semite in a position of Political Power for any reason. Especially one that is capable of making such bizzarre claims that the one in the link provided is purported to have made.

I personally have never understood why racism agaisnt the Jews seems to have a certain degree of tolerance in America… I find it not only revealing but unacceptable that the Obama administration would condone such a move…

Quite simple really…

Israel is utterly useless to us. They can’t assist us in any meaningful way in Iraq or Afghanistan and they do nothing but antagonize every other nation in the region. The US supports them only because its good politics here at home and we don’t want them blowing up our facilities and warships as they’ve done in the past. Israel isn’t an ally; its a liability.

Well**.…I** for one do not want an anti - semite in a position of Political Power for any reason.

Thats such a meaningless term. Just because the President of the United States doesn’t kiss Netanyahu’s boots doesn’t mean that he’s an anti-semite. I’m glad we finally have a President which doesn’t allow the US to be Israel’s lap dog.

I find it not only revealing but unacceptable that the Obama administration would condone such a move…

I don’t.

Charges of anti-semitism are about as meaningful as accusations of racism, sexism, misogyny, homophobia, Islamophobia, xenophobia, etc. That is to say, they aren’t meaningful at all.

I don’t.

Israel “antagonizes every other nation in the region” because it simply wishes to exist. I admit, however, the settlements are a thorny problem for peace negotiations. But why is it that so many self-proclaimed liberals, including some Reform Jews, find it so chic to be hypercritical of Israel and hold it to a standard they do not have for other countries?

For exactly the same reason that the delegate in question is opposed by Israel.

You do kmow he wanted Israel added to the 9/11 suspect list, right?

Salam Al-Marayati, executive director of the Muslim Public Affairs Council in Los Angeles, was asked on a local radio talk show about suspects. His response, according to a transcript provided by several Jewish organizations:

‘‘If we’re going to look at suspects, we should look to the groups that benefit the most from these kinds of incidents, and I think we should put the state of Israel on the suspect list because I think this diverts attention from what’s happening in the Palestinian territories so that they can go on with their aggression and occupation and apartheid policies.’’

This has nothing to do with “kissing up to Netanyahu” or “Da Jooos start all teh warzz!!!” (hat tip, Vangaurdian), but I would say that I don’t want that type of anti-Semitic, 9/11 Trutherism representing our country at a human rights council.

IN WARSAW, no less??? C’mon!!!
