What do Obama and Abbas have in common?

February 17th, 2013 by admin

Am I being denied access, blocked? And if so – by whom?

I can’t open/access the NYT’s given e-mail contact to put that question directly to the paper myself.

    American anti-Zionist Jewish writer Jefrey Blankfort and I share opinion about Mahmoud Abbas – He’s the most extraordinary double agent in the Middle East.

    When it comes to Barack Obama, I got to agree with former Jewish Congressman and judge from Chicago, Abner Mikvaner, who predicted in 2008: “I think when it is all over, people are going to say that Barack Obama is the first Jewish President”.

    Alan, I suggest you open a new NY Times account and do so using a proxy server so that your IP address is concealed. I use anti-tracking software called Do Not Track Me, and its companion called MaskMe, which allows me to log into websites without revealing my identity.

    As for Abbas, he is, like Israel, too dependent upon American government money to ever stand up to Obama. He will be waiting to meet with him, kneepads on.

    I would only hope that Obama would take a tour of the West Bank, including a stop at at least one refugee camp and to see that damned wall. But no. The only wall he will visit will be the wailing wall, where he put on a kippah and have a photo session. Then he will go to Sderot and be photographed with shrapnel from Palestinian rockets. He will visit at least one holocaust museum, too. But will he go to the ruins of Lifta? Will he visit Hebron and see the Palestinians being pelted with rubbish? Will he see a demonstration at Bi’lin? Don’t hold your breath…

    As I was reading the article, and echoing your closing remark: ” I find myself wondering if Abbas would be assassinated if he ended his grovelling to America”, I found myself wondering if Abbas had children. Sure enough, acc. to Wikipedia, he does. The eldest died in his early 40′s of a heart attack. Even assuming that is the innocent truth, he still has two more sons living, not to mention a wife. A hero might well be willing to risk his own life for the sake of realising a greater good, but rarely can a decent person willingly risk the life of their spouse or child.

    Basically, we no longer live in a civilised world (if we ever did). In any case, Abbas’s role is in the centre of one of the world’s most obvious flashpoints, but does not have the power to do that role justice, one of which powers being the ability to protect himself and his family and chief ministers etc. Lacking such power, it is probably not only inevitable but in some way appropriate that he ‘grovel’. For after all, he is the erstwhile leader of an illegally occupied region, which has not been given proper statehood so that his people do not have the basic human rights which the U.N. was theoretically founded to protect, even though ironically one of the first things the UN was empower Jews from all over the world to move in and displace people who had been living there for centuries.

    What is not good is that Obama grovels.
    But then he has children too….

    Maryam’s challenge to Obamaa won’t be accomodated.Nor will Alan’s to Abbas.The latter should have dissolved the PNA when he realized-I am not sure if he actually did- that neither his old buddy(Olmert)nor any Israeli negotiator would be willing to give him back any substantial part of the West Bank.Whether he is unwilling, or the people around him, who haven’t seen their business interests through, are stopping him from doing that is of the same import. After all, Abbas was Israel’s and America’s choice for the job he is doing, and the only time the American Congress recommended witholding the PNA’s menies was after the PNA went ahead with the Palestine vote as observer state at the
    General Assembly.We must not forget that Abbas has been the biggest gambler when it comes to the Palestinians’ rights that are not for sale: he was the architect of Oslo, which took the West Bank to where it is now. He is also the only Palestinian known to have openly sold his own house( in Safad)publicly.And, he is one of many Palestinian leaders who will happily sell the Palestinian refugees right of return for a dime.But, it is equally true, the Palestinian people are the only party that will have the final say on all their rights.Grovelling or not, Obama has nothing for Abbas to keep him afloat.

    The only reason Abbas is still in office is because he has blocked the elections, and the Palestinians are too unorganized to have their own Arab Spring. Without strong leadership, another intifada would be suicide.

    maryam – I sincerely hope the Palestinians never have the so-called “Arab Spring” – otherwise they will lose the remaining 22% of their land.

    Arab Spring = USrael.
