''If you still believe in the "yes, we can" man, fine, but put the pressure on him to stand by America's most loyal ally in the Middle East. Tell the contortionist-in-chief to stop bowing and bending to foreign leaders and to stand up straight for his friends. The days of wine and roses are over. There is a jihad against our people, and the clock is ticking in double time.'' Someone once told me that if you want to see how well Jews are doing just read an anti-Semitic paper. In it, the Jews, who make up .02 percent of the planet's population, are alleged to be running the entire world. The statistics alone would prove this to be preposterous.
Yet as my BlackBerry lights up like wild fire with hundreds of e-mails a day from legitimate news sources, it is quite evident that Jews are in deeper peril today than ever before. All the fences Jews relied on to protect them are crumbling before our eyes. The troubles facing the Jewish state of Israel lie at the core of these tenuous times for the Jewish people. A new generation has arisen that remembers not the smell of smoke that arose from the crematoriums. This generation knows only Facebook, Twitter and iPhones and faces the world through flat plasma screens and not in 3-D reality where hate is spreading with alarming speed. It does not realize that without Israel every Jew throughout the world is a hated orphan who will be abused, assaulted or even murdered though they have assimilated into their local cultures. Remember the Jews of post-Weimar Germany. They, too, felt more German than Jewish … until they were brutally awakened as to their true status in the Fatherland.
In the past, education and strong ties to Eretz Yisroel have preserved a people confronted by villainous persecutions. But today, Jews have become too comfortable in their host countries and have forgotten how much they need Israel for their survival. As such, Jews donate more charitable funds to save opera and whales than they do to save Jews. What message does this send to the next generation? As the "poisoning" of America's elites against Jews and Israel, especially in academia where an anti-Israel agenda is metastasizing across campuses, our Jewish youth don't even know how to respond because they don't know the facts. Their ignorance has become our enemy's greatest tool. Our kids live in an educational vacuum that we have let others fill. So, who is left to defend Israel: Obama, Ahmadinejad, Hamas, Hillary Clinton, the United Nations, or you and me?
My friends, I believe that as pertains to the Jewish state there is an enemy in the White House. How can we forget that prior to becoming president, Obama addressed AIPAC in 2008 and said, "Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided" – until he changed his mind the next day. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=128142
