A Losing Strategy

Related Link » Jewish Obama buyers beware
“Although Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) had a much clearer vision for Israel during the election (and a far more impressive resume in regards to the Jewish state), many American Jewish voters saw Obama as a departure from the Republican Party rather then a candidate in and of himself. And regardless of his vague stance on Israel, many American Jews believed that Obama would continue the basic policies of his predecessors towards the Jewish state, but without the negative connotations a new Republican President might have impressed upon the international community. […] But the red flags were waving hard and high from the get-go. Obama’s friendships with the anti-Semitic, firebrand Reverend Jeremiah Wright and Palestinian apologist Rashid Khalidi, not to mention his financial ties to anti-Israel moneyman George Soros were just a start. His intimate relationship with senior advisors David Axelrod and Rahm Emmanuel, rumored to have been called ‘self-loathing Jews’ by Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu, should have been the cincher. […] Even Hamas figured Obama would be better for the Palestinian cause than the American Jewry could fathom, and they eagerly endorsed him in 2008. […] One thing is for certain; as far as 2012 is concerned, I would warn all Jewish voters — the Obama buyers beware.”

Unfortunately, Melissa, 2012 may be too late. The Obama Himself might have imposed insurmountable existential consequences for the State of Israel by then.

In its very long history, the Jewish People have always had one Achilles heel — a self-destructive tendency. Despite all their accomplishments in a never-ending struggle to survive incredible persecutions, they continue to flaunt the obvious precautions that could ameliorate the next plague heading their way. It is almost as if they have come to rely on a continuous stream of miracles that will save them just before the ultimate calamity befalls them. They are a stiff-necked people, always living on the edge of disaster, always expecting their god to rescue them from extinction.

Does their omnipotent and omniscient god have infinite patience? It seems to me that the affirmative is unprovable, whereas the negative is unconquerable.

It is, ultimately, a losing strategy for survival.
