I and many other bloggers warned before the election of Barack Hussein Obama that he would not be a friend of Israel. Obama's first year in office saw him placing unreasonable demands on Israel and public lashings when they did not concur. I cannot remember an American Administration placing such demands on Israel, much less in the public forum, during such troubling times in the Middle East. A recent poll shows that only 6% of Israelis think Obama is pro-Israel and 50% say he is pro Palestinian. Israels own Ambassador is calling the recent dust up the worst in 35 years.
I will admit that the announcement of the building of new housing in Jerusalem during Vice President Biden's visit was ill timed, but to call out Israel and to cancel high level visits is just unprecedented. The Palestinians are on the verge of a third Intifada and the image of conflict in American-Israeli relations only encourages such action. Hamas has called for an Intifada against Israel and will use this ruse to unite Palestinian voters in Gaza and the West Bank to support Hamas versus Fatah in upcoming elections.
Israel is under a continued threat from the North with Iranian-Syrian backed Hezbollah, Iranian backed Hamas in Gaza and from Iran itself and their quest for nuclear arms to annihilate the Jewish state. President Obama may not agree with Prime Minister Netanyahu, but Obama needs to understand that the terrorist elements are taking this cue as a weakness in our relationship with Israel and will try to exploit it.
The election of President Obama and his inexperience in foreign policy just shows what can go wrong when you let emotion rather than substance guide your vote. Israel is our only true friend in the Middle East and to treat them as our enemy is just a huge mistake and one we will pay for in the near future. The animosity that this Administration shows towards Israel needs to be reined in and more support should be offered. Israel does our bidding in the turbulent Middle East and we need to show our support, whether it be militarily or financial , but encouragement nonetheless.

What defines "victory" for Israel
With the international outcry of the pacifists of the world, Israel is once again being forced into a corner that will spell its defeat. The current "cease fire" accord being passed around is the work of the French and Egyptians and demands for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and the terrorists. The UN resolution that stopped the Second Lebanese War allowed Hizbullah to rearm under the auspice of the UN. These worthless resolutions do not and will not promote peace. Any meaningful peace accord must have two partners that are willing to dance. Radical Muslim terrorists only dance around the truth and are unwilling partners for peace.
If there is any doubt in the willingness of Hamas to abide by any peace accord, let us take a look at their charter. Article 13. "There is no solution to the Palestinian problem except by Jihad. The initiatives, proposals and International Conferences are but a waste of time, an exercise in futility." The Hamas charter also calls for the destruction of Israel and they have refused to alter it to this day. Hamas and other radical Islamists will never abide by any peace accord with Zionists and or Christians. They raise their future little terrorists to hate everything that is non-Muslim and proudly send them to martyrdom and the 72 ugly virgins.
Anything less than a full defeat of Hamas by Israel will be a defeat for PM Olmert. If history is any guide, Israel will agree to some worthless resolution that will allow Hamas to rearm and fight another day. Israel holds all the cards in this morass and should play them accordingly. Any truce should demand the following:
International troops would be deployed in and around Gaza.
The immediate return of Cpl. Gilad Shalit.
Any missile and/or other terrorist activity will be dealt with a massive military response by Israel.
Hamas has rejected any form of International troops to monitor Gaza and rejected the PA from monitoring the crossings. Why do you think Hamas would be against international monitors? Hamas are masters of faking deaths of children and innocents and that would be harder to do with international monitors. It is easy to fake and promote collateral damage when you have the UN staff and AP reporters who gladly promote Hamas propaganda. The ideal situation would be to give Gaza back to Egypt and the West Bank to the Jordanians. The Palestinians have proven that they are unable to provide for themselves and produce jobs for their people.
Israel has done everything to avoid collateral damage and Hamas has done everything to inflict collateral damage. America and Western nations should support Israel in their fight to protect themselves from terrorists. Some Arab countries are turning against this fecal matter called Hamas and that is a positive result coming from the Middle East. I urge Prime Minister Olmert to ignore the pacifists of the world and inflict a massive blow to Hamas. Anything less than victory or an iron clad accord will be seen as a failure. Mr. Olmert, you already have one defeat on your resume, let us not have another.

The Genesis of Islamo-Fascism
It looks as though the Israelis have finally had enough of the daily terrorist attacks from Hamas. The Hamas regime has launched more than 3000 missiles and mortars at Israeli citizens in 2008 and their snipers continue to target farmers and other innocents. International condemnation of Israel is no surprise and has come mostly from Muslim countries and the United Nations. What is a surprise is the statement from French President Nicolas Sarkozy when he accused the Israelis of "using disproportionate violence." The French have always (last 100 years) been seen as weak and pacifists in nature. The election of Sarkozy brought hope that the French would finally see the world as it really is and get aboard with the global war on terror.
Another surprise is emanating from a Middle Eastern country that you might not expect. Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit has blamed Hamas for their current situation and has been quoted as saying, "They (Hizbullah) have practically declared war on Egypt and they want for there to be chaos in Egypt as there is in their country." Hizbullah, as you may know, has vowed to attack Israel in the North in retaliation for the Israeli Gaza operation in the South. Hizbullah and Hamas are both terrorist proxies of the Republic of Iran and the Egyptians are now publicly stating the dangers of both groups in the region. That is a welcome development from a Muslim country.
Most of the Muslim leaders in the region defend the Palestinian terrorist activity mainly for local public consumption and to avoid looking pro-Zionist. Egypt and Jordan distrust Hamas because they are a splinter group of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood is a Sunni group that wants to create a Muslim Caliphate under Sharia law that spans from Spain to Indonesia. The Muslim Brotherhoods credo is: Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. Qu’ran is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way Allah is our highest hope. Sounds a lot like our Al Qaeda friends mind set to me.
The world must support Israel in their fight against Hamas even if the Jews have to invade the Gaza Strip. The missiles will not stop until the Hamas regime is defeated. There will be no two state solution between Israel and the so-called moderate Palestinians until Hamas is defeated. The Gaza Strip has Iranian Al Quds and Al Qaeda terrorist cells that operate freely to plot their destruction. Defeating Hamas is just another battle in the global war on terror and I would like to see even more shock and awe from the Israelis. The Israeli battle is our battle.
The pacifists of the world need to learn that Islamo-Fascism wherever it lurks will inevitably affect their way of life. As I have wrote previously, modern Islamic fanaticism began in Iran in 1979 with the Islamic revolution. Iran’s leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, was quoted as saying “Establishing the Islamic state world-wide belong to the great goals of the revolution." This was the genesis of Islamo-fascism in the modern world that bred the groups we have today. In the end, we must destroy the birthplace of Jihad and that place is Iran.

Open letter to President Bush
While I support President Bush in his war-on-terror policies, I must take a different approach when it comes to dealing with Iran and their nuclear ambitions. The United States has done the right thing with their policy of not "taking any options off the table." The truth is, the United States military is in a tight position when it comes to attacking Iran for their failure to disclose their nuclear program.
The real and immediate worry with Iran obtaining nuclear weapons is their ambitions of making Israel disappear. American caution with expanding the war-on-terror is understandable, with the lack of troops and public support, but the Jews have a big dog in this fight. It has been reported that Pres. Bush will not give a green light to Israel to attack Iran and disable their nuclear establishment.
By most accounts, the Iranians are less than a year from obtaining nuclear capability and their leader has promised the end of Israel as we know it. The world cannot allow another holocaust as we did in the last century. We must allow the Israelis to defend themselves in their quest to survive in this world.
The United States of America should allow everything that the Israelis request in their quest to survive another Holocaust. The Iranians are supplying Hezbollah with weapons to attack Israel and they are processing nuclear fuel to produce fissile material to use in nuclear weapons. The Iranians are supplying Shia extremists in Iraq with weapons to kill American soldiers.
The President of Iran has stated his "Mein Kamph" and the world should listen. Ahmadinejad has stated his desire to eliminate Israel and the world of Jews, as did Hitler in his grand plan of the final solution. President Bush, please give Israel everything that they need to defend themselves. We can never allow another holocaust!
