Another perspective on the origins of the mutual Obama-Netanyahu disdain

WaPo, via Volokh Conspiracy

. . . "Very succinctly, the Obama Administration came in to office thinking it could either force Netanyahu to make concessions, or force his government to fall.  Both the Shamir and the first Netanyahu governments made concessions and ultimately got tossed out by the voters after tensions rose with the U.S., so this was not a completely unreasonable  assumption.

"However, Obama and his advisors missed several contrary factors.  The Israeli public never liked Obama, never trusted him due to his well-known associations with various anti-Israel leftists such as Rashid Khalidi. Israelis’ impressions were solidified by major blunders made by the Obama Administration, which did not get much attention in the U.S., but did in Israel." . . .

Who’s Really ‘Frayed’ the U.S.-Israel Relationship? Susan Rice and Her Bosses  . . . "Let’s set the record straight on this laughable spin-job. Since 1967, no U.S. administration has been as guilty of “injecting partisanship” into the U.S.-Israel relationship as those of the presidents Rice has served, namely Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. And few officials in the history of the United States have been as guilty as of injecting partisanship, to say nothing of poisonous insults, into that relationship, as Susan Rice.

Rush sees what Obama is changing America into, even if nobody else does

Obama's Infuriating Town Hall on Immigration

. . . "Right.  Now, there will be consequences for ICE officers who do not obey his illegal executive order.  There will be consequences.  There will be blood.  But there will not be consequences for the millions of illegals who have violated the law for years and entered the country.  No, no, no.  We're gonna ignore that.  Prosecutorial discretion.  We're gonna just choose to ignore the law. 

"So if an ICE agent actually now enforces US law, in doing so defying the president's order to break the law -- 'cause that's what Obama's demanding they do. He's demanding they break the law like he is.  If they don't follow through on his demand to violate the law, there will be consequences.  The ICE agents, yeah, we're gonna get 'em, man, if they don't follow orders, we're gonna get 'em. Who is it now, the enemy?  What's it look like to you?"

. . .

" 'I will ignore the judge's order. I'm not gonna deport anybody who qualifies for my executive action under my prerogatives of prosecutorial discretion.  I, I, I, me, me, me, mine, mine, mine.  I'm king.  Whatever I want to do is what's gonna happen here.  And whenever I want to do it is when it's gonna happen. I don't care what anybody else says."  And then he dared the Republicans to stop him."

How many blondes does it take to leave our borders wide open to terrorists, to neutralize all national defense, and to shred the Constitution?

Deborah C. Tyler  "How many blondes does it take to “spokesmodel” Obama’s and Kerry’s psychopathic reverse victimology that provides cover for bloodthirsty fiends committing atrocities against innocent civilians? How many flaxen chicks does the State Department need to regurgitate a horrifying indifference to human suffering while expostulating sympathy for Islamic monsters?

"Just one – if she’s Marie Harf. It is not only that Harf seems to have graduated from the Glozell School of International Studies and believes the American taxpayer can provide voc rehab for a billion Islamic youths. It is her parrotlike incapacity to name the dropouts from the human race -- the ideological death cultist Islamic sadist-murderers. She will not distinguish them from any other “kids” with AK-47s. Worst of all, she deadpans the State Department’s comprehensive lack of compassion for the victims of today’s holocaust. . .  .

Jerusalem Post

"President of Germany's Central Council of Jews advised against wearing a kippah
in neighborhoods with a high proportion of Muslims on Thursday.

"Speaking in an interview with local radio, Josef Schuster said that observant Jews should consider covering their heads with less conspicuous headgear that would not so clearly identify them as Jews in potentially dangerous neighborhoods.

"Schuster said that the potential for anti-Semitic attacks in the country had risen. He said that he could not have imagined that it would be necessary to give such advice five years ago." . . .

Obama Derangement Syndrome? Scott Walker too?

 Victor Davis Hanson                                     "Some, like Ezra Klein, have posited that Rudy Giuliani’s suggestion that Obama may not be patriotic and Scott Walker’s hesitation to assert that Obama is a Christian illustrate a sort of unhinged Obama Derangement Syndrome.

"Aside from the fact that Obama himself characterized President George W. Bush as “unpatriotic” (for overseeing deficits at about half the size of the debt that Obama will bestow on us in his tenure), and aside from Nancy Pelosi’s and Harry Reid’s chronic tendency to smear their conservative critics as “un-American,” there should be an easy standard to identify the point at which criticism becomes clinically deranged.

"I’d suggest that there is. Certainly, a pathology is at work when writers and artists wish, dream, or fantasize about the death of a sitting president and express such abject, irrational venom in a mainstream venue." . . .

Walker Derangement Syndrome appearing in mainstream media   "The Democratic-media establishment is rolling out the hate for Scott Walker. An article in the New Yorker (“The Dangerous Candidacy of Scott Walker”) by John Cassidy gives away the game in its first sentence:

Let’s stipulate up front that Scott Walker, the governor of Wisconsin, is an odious politician whose ascension to the Presidency would be a disaster.

"Richard Baehr points out that the early 1984 style hate campaign suggests that either Dems are not so comfortable that Clinton is a sure winner, or that they see how well the anti-Romney stuff worked by defining him early for people who were not Republican or engaged in following politics, so they are trying to take down the top candidates on our side early.  So far that looks like Bush and Walker, who seem to be breaking apart from the filed in different ways -- Jeb with money, and establishment support, Walker among conservative  voters."   Thomas Lifson

So get used to seeing the likes of this in the MSM:

FOR DEATH BY ISIS YOU HAVE TO GO OUT; ILLEGAL ALIENS DELIVER!

Ann Coulter  "You can always tell the media are hiding something when they obsessively focus on Muslim atrocities someplace else in the world. Cable TV could cover Muslim atrocities 24 hours a day, seven days a week, from 632 A.D. to the end of time, without repeating themselves. 

"For at least a year after 9/11, I used to turn on the TV, and if I saw a "Survivor" contestant, I'd think, "Good. No news." These days, I turn on the TV, and if I see former U.N. ambassador John Bolton, I think, "Good. No news." 

"By now, the public knows more about ISIS than they know about the Kardashians. But it has no idea that the very same Senate Democrats who claimed to oppose Obama's amnesty when they were campaigning are currently filibustering a bill to defund it, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is ready to cave. 

"ISIS has killed four Americans -- in Syria. We're not exactly talking about another 9/11. Here's a tip: If you don't want to be killed by ISIS, don't go to Syria. 

"Meanwhile, illegal aliens have killed, raped and maimed thousands of Americans -- in America. If you don't want to be killed, raped or maimed by illegal immigrants in your own country, I have no tips for you. There's nothing you can do. You're on your own. Good luck." . . . 

North American Infidels Exclusive: Twitter Muslim’s Instructions on how to Behead!

Logan's Warning  "Even if you do not own a website, there are other ways you can help out in the war with Islam. One of them is what I like to call jihadi hunting (in a non-violent way) on the social media networks. Because Muslims are getting more and more brazen we can find online threats, and also expose their deplorable beliefs to the public.

As per Koranic verse 47:4. Beheadings.

Please keep in mind that I discovered that Tweet after he implied Islam was non-threatening.

Which of course when countered, lead to this…..

So what's the latest story on the benighted Costa Concordia?

Costa Concordia disaster  Below: the good ship in a better day

. . . "Passengers were in the dining hall when there was a sudden, loud bang, which a crew member (speaking over the intercom) ascribed to an "electrical failure".^[56] "We told the guests everything was [okay] and under control and we tried to stop them panicking", a cabin steward recalled.^[32] Coincidentally, when the ship first made impact with the rock, it was claimed that Titanic's theme song My Heart Will Go On was playing in a restaurant." . . .

The ship in less-prosperous times:

From the New York Post

. . . "The footage provides an eerie fisheye view of the wreck of the Concordia which appears remarkably intact despite the 18 months she has spent under the Tyrrhenian Sea.

"Through the clear turquoise blue water, the divers reveal the twisted metal of pipes of the wreck as fish swim by."

"Elaborate staircases that would have taken the guests from their staterooms to the dining room remain intact and the divers float silently down the empty corridors where the guests would have strolled to the pool decks and bars.

"There are also poignant reminders of the passengers and crew who met their fate on the crippled ship — a magazine on the pool deck, an unmanned reception desk complete with a vase of flowers and a computer screen, and empty deckchairs where guests would have sipped their pina coladas and watch the world sail by.

"As the video ends, the diver from Italy’s Carabinieri police emerges from the murky water to find himself inside the huge central atrium of the ship, which sits above the waterline."

The Betrayal Papers – Part I and 2 Of 5 – Under Obama: The U.S. Captured By The Muslim Brotherhood

It is wisest to avoid international conspiracy theories, and I have until this one. They usually do not hold water, even with a president I have such a low regard for as Barack Hussein Obama. But Mr. Obama demonstrates such an affinity for Muslims in general and the Muslim Brotherhood in particular - the dots to connect keep accumulating- that I fear letting this information pass without acknowledging its content.

Can we not say Mr. Obama likes and respects the Muslim Brotherhood more than he does his political opposition here in America?  If you agree, please accept this series for what it is worth to you. TD

Noisy Room, Part one   "The Betrayal Papers will trace the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Obama administration’s foreign and domestic policies. The five-part series will present a picture of a conspiracy that is manipulating the American government to the benefit of a totalitarian, genocidal movement that seeks to establish a global Islamic State.

• The Muslim Brotherhood is an international political, financial, terrorist and movement whose goal is to establish a global Islamic State (Caliphate).
• They have and continue to exert tremendous influence of the American government’s foreign and domestic policies under President Barack Hussein Obama.
• The violence in the Middle East and across North Africa is a direct consequence of the Muslim Brotherhood’s effective control over American foreign policy in the region.
• They operate through various “civic” front groups, as well as through American institutions who take their money as operational funding (Georgetown University, Brookings Institution).

. . . "Internationally, America is in retreat. The Middle East is in ashes, and in the midst of an ongoing genocide replete with daily horrors, the likes which have not been seen for centuries. Former allies have been abandoned and are embittered. Under the present leadership in the White House and State Department, Israel is considered the aggressor and Hamas the oppressed.

"In sum, the world is at its most volatile point since the outbreak of World War II."

.. ..Betrayal Papers Part 2: In Plain Sight: A National Security “Smoking Gun” .  . . . "This article will name several key people who were or are in the Obama administration and who have various, documented associations with organizations which are directly tied to and/or funded by the Muslim Brotherhood and the State of Qatar (home to Brotherhood’s Spiritual Leader, Yusuf al-Qaradawi). These individuals have helped dictate national security policies that have crippled counterterrorism efforts at home and abroad."

The Betrayal Papers is a collaborative effort by the Coalition of Concerned Citizens, which includes:Andrea Shea King, Dr. Ashraf Ramelah, Benjamin Smith, Bethany Blankley, Brent Parrish, Charles Ortel,Chris Nethery, Denise Simon, Dick Manasseri, Gary Kubiak, Gates of Vienna, Hannah Szenes, IQ al Rassooli, Jeff Bayard, Leslie Burt, Marcus Kohan, Mary Fanning, General Paul E.

Top Obama aide: Netanyahu’s speech damaging ‘fabric’ of ties

National security adviser Susan Rice says relationship between the two countries has become ‘infused with politics’

Times of Israel  "In a searing rebuke of the Israeli prime minister, US National Security Adviser Susan Rice warned Tuesday that Prime Minister’s Benjamin Netanyahu’s upcoming speech in front of a joint session of Congress has cast a partisan pall over the ties between the two close allies and threatened “the fabric of the relationship.”

"In an interview with Charlie Rose on PBS, Rice faulted both Netanyahu and the Republican Speaker of the House, John Boehner, who extended the invitation to the prime minister to address Congress on Iran, for creating the current “destructive” situation.". . .
