Obama Invite sArabs to Attack Israel

As Jerusalem Post analyst Caroline Glick puts it, Obama has leveled a four-part ultimatum to Netanyahu:

First, Israel must cancel the approval of the housing units in Ramat Shlomo. Second, Israel must prohibit all construction for Jews in Jerusalem neighborhoods built since 1967. Third, Israel must make a gesture to the Palestinians to show them we want peace. Fourth, Israel must agree to negotiate all substantive issues, including the partition of Jerusalem (including the Jewish neighborhoods constructed since 1967 that are now home to more than half a million Israelis) and the immigration of millions of hostile foreign Arabs to Israel under the rubric of the so-called "right of return" …

Only an idiot would fail to see in this ultimatum that Obama, like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, wants to "wipe Israel off the map." Seeing this, the Arabs have no need to engage in negotiations, which suggests to me that Obama is tacitly inviting them to eliminate Israel by war!

This conclusion is reinforced by Obama's his decision to divert Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM), already on its way to Israel, to the US Air Force base on the Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia.

It would be a mistake merely to regard Obama as just a dangerous bungler. It would be more prudent for Jews and friends of Israel to act on the evidential conclusion that Obama is Israel's most insidious enemy, and that he shares the Muslim objective to wipe Israel off the map.
