Hope And Change In Israel

The right wing neocons must be apoplectic over this!

President Obama spoke to the people of Israel today, and even got applause from the neocon Haaretz.

For Barack Obama to come to Jerusalem, and speak to Israeli students and talk persuasively of the possibility of a secure and peaceful future, for him to do that and garner a roaring ovation of approval, he would have to have given one hell of a speech.

He did.

This was the speech that these young Israelis not only needed but wanted to hear. A speech that radically redefined centrism in Israel, bringing it down to extraordinary common denominators in directions Israelis have learned to think of as diametrically opposed.

He spoke of security and peace as inextricably and necessarily linked, not a narrow choice between options, but a conscious choice for both.

They roared.

This was not the student crowd that Obama is used to. These students are Israelis. This is a crowd that is world-weary, hair-trigger volatile. They have come by it honestly. In comparison to their American counterparts, they are, by and large, older by several years – some would say, several lifetimes. They enter college after years in the military, often followed by the escape-valve rehab of a marathon trek to remote continents.

They know a snow job when they hear it. And the rare times when someone makes a sincere and enormous effort to understand them, to see things from their point of view, and to bring them a message that no leader in Israel has managed to bring them, they know that too. And if they respond with a huge reservoir of unaddressed, pent up emotional energy, as they did Thursday evening, even that fusty hall in Jerusalem - that house that boredom built, that home to bureaucratic Jewish organizational conferences dull as death - can erupt with the electricity and positive might that are the hallmarks if something we thought we'd all lost long ago: hope.

Does it surpise you the Jews are polite ?

Maybe the applause was because the speech was finally over.
 
Of couse, he conviently forgot to tell us about the heckeling Obama got from the audience.....no surprise there I guess.
 
Let's change the title of the thread to 'Idiots knocking a gay guy'. We can talk about the visit to Israel elsewhere.

Honest voters here in the US already know that Obama is full of shit, Howard. It's only a matter of time before Haartz will come to understand his false sense of optimism. Hussein has a special way of fucking with people in that respect.

Alright Rana, now I'm really confused. I don't care about Howey's sexuality. To each his own it doesn't matter to me. I also don't care about his race in the sense that we are born the race we are we don't choose it. However Rana you told me Howey was black. Now he's laughing at people who think he's black? Again, I respond to him as a person not as a race but why would you lie to me about it?

It was my idea. I said to rana, let's tell Cawacko Howey is black so that he ends up making a really self-conscious I don't care if Howey's black post. We laughed about it and called it one of Cawacko's whitey posts. She told you instead of me because you already know I lie a lot but everyone trusts rana.

I was hought it was because USF or ILA or one of the other nincompoops thought I was black because of the pic I took of James Franco at the 500. Yes, he's not black but they're tards.

I was "raised" by a black woman though. Our family maid. Her name is Lily White.

True story.

Here is a nice little present for the 'Israel is god's plan' crowd. It'll save them having to wipe the drool off their keyboards so they can type similar messages.

“Castrate them!” “Burn them!” “Bullet in the head!”: Facebook Israelis react to photo of Palestinian kids
Submitted by Ali Abunimah on Fri, 03/22/2013 - 22:01

An image of three Palestinian boys sparked an outpouring of violent and sadistic fantasies after it was reposted to an Israeli Facebook page (Original source and screenshot of context).

Having regularly documented the horrifying racism and violent fantasies frequently expressed by Israelis on Facebook or Instagram, I thought I had seen everything.
But this may be the worst yet. On Wednesday, the picture above of three Palestinian boys in a tent was posted on a popular Facebook page titled in Hebrew “We are all in favor of death to terrorists.” Under the picture is the following caption:
Arab boys in the illegal Arab outpost established near Maale Adumim. What should the Israeli army do to them?
This is an apparent reference to the peaceful “Bab al-Shams” encampment established by Palestinians near Jerusalem to protest Israel’s plans to seize more land for settlements. The protest was timed to coincide with the visit of US President Barack Obama.
“Run the tent over with a truck/Merkava tank/a bus/ whatever it takes to crush and kill these children,” suggested Facebook user Lidor Swisa.
