Netanyahu's Complete Disrespect Towards the U.S.

Article: Netanyahu to U.S.: Don't second guess me on Hamas - Politico

The way the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, addresses our President and our nation, is entirely unacceptable. When any country, be it Israel, or whomever, is accepting billions of dollars from us, there should be two words uttered from them: "thank you" and that's it.

Prime Minister Netanyahu saying "not to ever second guess me again" when it comes to our peace negotiations is entirely unacceptable. Israel should be very grateful for all we have done for them for all these decades. The United States is most certainly integral to Israel continuing to exist.

If the United States cannot get respect from those to whom we assist, then we should demand such respect. If that cannot be given, we should choose not to continue to support them. Netanyahu wanted Obama gone in the past election, and didn't get his wish. Now, he wants to treat our President, and our nation, with complete disrespect.

It is moments such as this that test a nation's resolve. Netanyahu should most definitely be redressed, and strongly reminded of the role The United States has played in its continued survival. And, yeah, we damn well better be getting a "thank you" from them. Anything else is unacceptable.

How Israel Critics Can Try to Avoid "Anti-Semitic" Label

Article: Criticising Israel, Avoiding Anti-Semitism - BBC

As you can see from this article, people have to actually write guides on how to possibly avoid being called "Anti-Semitic" when criticizing Israel in any way.

If you make any criticism of Israel, you are likely to be labeled as "Anti-Semitic." Those who practice Judaism aren't necessarily Israel and vice versa. Israel is a government, and has the same issues, positive and negative, that governments have. When people just resort to the "you must be prejudiced if you are criticizing someone" is made because they do not want to engage you in debate.

Israel's P.R. Machine vs. The Media

Article: Israeli Ambassador to U.S. Lambastes CNN While on CNN Over Gaza Coverage - The Huffington Post

The whole strategy for the Israeli P.R. Machine is to beat on people until they come around to the Israeli point of view. They've been sending out their minions to every media outlet to try to accomplish this. They threw such a fit over the very-short FAA ban on flights into Ben Gurion that they got it lifted.

Plus, it's interesting to watch Jewish politicians drop the interests of The United States in a heartbeat to jump and down over getting what they want for Israel. Bloomberg and Schumer are prime examples.

Israel Angry at United States for Protecting Its Citizens

The FAA today put a 24-hour ban on air travel into Israel because a Hamas missile landed within a couple miles of Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport.

In response, there has been anger from Israel that the FAA took such action. So, now, the United States has to have such solidarity with Israel that we potentially risk the lives of our citizens traveling abroad?

The job of the United States Government should be to protect citizens of The United States. All else should be secondary.

Extremists and Power

It should be noted that the extremists wanting violence in the Middle East have no concern for their own people. They want power, and they want control. Yes, we lost four great Americans, which is truly tragic. But, the number of Muslims who will end up dead, and the destruction and unrest resulting in Muslim countries, will be high. It doesn't matter to those stirring up the violence, though. They want the power high of having killed a few Americans on 9/11, the consequences to their people be damned.

Perfect Storm

As the horrors over the anti-Islam video continue in the Middle East, the picture of what made it happen may be coming together. A "Perfect Storm" of an inflammatory video made here, coupled with rage generated over there.

The video denigrating the Prophet Muhammad was at first alleged to be from an Israeli living in the U.S. Now, the picture has become blurred. The person is now thought to be a Coptic Christian from Egypt, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula.

My thought is that the person was part of a two-part plan to stir up violence in the Middle East. The idea could have been to plant someone over here, make the video, upload it, then go back. Overseas, make sure the video was known and known well. Stir up anger and hatred, and direct those enraged to attack our embassies, killing our people.

The fact that it happened right on 9/11 is no coincidence. My thought is that it was a planned attack. Certainly nothing like the scale of 9/11. But, carefully planned and executed nonetheless.

Religion has too often been driven to extremes. And, Islam is very much in that mode right now. The depressed conditions of nations wracked with war and unrest put people in psychologically vulnerable positions. The opportunism of preachers, Al-Qaeda and other extremist operatives, who want to create anger and hatred, rule the day.

It is now up to American Special Forces and intelligence services to hunt down and kill those responsible for this week's horrors.

And now, we know that Al-Qaeda and others have new ways to attack America and its people.
