Last December, we wrote that
an “early test” for the Obama Administration
would be whether it participated
in a forthcoming U.N. conference
on racism, better known as Durban II.
Uh, oh.
The first “Durban”
– named for the South African city where
the U.N. held its 2001 World Conference Against Racism,
Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance –
was chiefly notable as a virulent display of anti-Semitism.
Yet last weekend, the Administration announced
it would participate in “conference preparations,”
while reserving judgment on whether to attend the conference itself.
If this isn’t failing the big test,
it’s flunking the pop quiz.

Obama’s Durban Dalliance:
Does an anti-Semitic conference deserve U.S. participation of any kind?
By: Bruce Reed Porter
One has to wonder why anyone from from the government of the United States would even consider dignifying a gathering of anti-Semitic UN sycophants who have consistently called for a Jewish genocide and the destruction of the State of Israel over the past decades. For the Obama administration to send a delegation to such a hateful assemblage is beyond comprehension.
I have often written and spoken my belief that Barack Hussein Obama is not a friend of Israel, and may well be the most dangerous man on earth, not only to the United States, but also to the State of Israel and democracies all over the planet. I’ve been amazed at the vicious blow-back I’ve received from some members of the Jewish community when I made such assertions. Who can understand the mind of American Jews who voted for Obama? What is this liberal obsession that historically causes the Jewish people to embrace those who eventually murder them? According to Haaretz, Obama captured 77% of the Jewish vote.
Let me break this down. Since his inauguration, President Obama has stepped up the pressure on Israel to bow to the demands of the “Arab world” to get back on the “Road-map to Peace.” Previous attempts at this fatally-flawed policy has been nothing short of disasterous for Israel. Even the much-celebrated Oslo Accords, signed back in August of 1993, put Israel under tremendous pressure to give up “land for peace” even in areas of their country where Jews have lived for thousands of years.
The Gush Katif debacle when Israel gave up Gaza in hopes of peace only lead to thousands of rockets being fired from Gaza against Israeli towns and villages, making life hell for thousands of Israeli families. Now, Obama and the traitor-Jews in the White House are trying to dish up more of the same failed policies, pressuring Israel to give up Judea and Samaria (the so-called “West Bank” which is a fabrication) and allow hundreds of thousands of Arabs to move into Israeli territory under a lunatic plan called “The Right of Return.” To top it all off, adding insult to injury, Obama (contrary to his campaign promises to American Jews) is now openly speaking of forcing Israel to give up their eternal capitol, Jerusalem!
Most people in America have no idea how tiny the nation of Israel actually is. Comprised of only 7,850 sq mi, it is nearly 900 sq. mi. smaller than the state of New Jersey! The map below will give you some perspective about the relative size of Israel compared to the largely Islamic countries surrounding it. One has to wonder how such a tiny country could command so much attention in such a big world! The answer is the subject of another blog post on this site.

Size of Israel compared to Arab world
Daniel Pipes, a leading expert on the Middle East and Israeli/Arab relations, wrote in an article published in the Jerusalem Post in June 4, 2009 that:
“If Washington continues on its present course, the result may well be spectacular policy failure that manages both to weaken America’s only strategic ally in the Middle East even as it worsens Arab-Israeli tensions.”
I have visited Israel over 20 times over the years and studied Hebrew in Jerusalem. During my most recent visit in 2006 during the Israel-Hezbollah War, I met with an Israeli Paramedic friend serving with the elite Unit 669 at Tel Nof Airbase. In typical Israeli humor, he made the truthful, yet cynical statement; “When there is a cease-fire in Israel, we are in charge of the “ceasing” and the Arabs are in charge of the “firing.” The frustration Israelis were experiencing even under the Bush administration, with Secretary of State Condoliza Rice angrily dictating to the Israeli government American demands that they force Jews out of their homes in “disputed” areas and give up strategically vital defensive positions in the name of peace, was tangible.
AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT IS FACING ISRAEL
Iran has been developing nuclear weapons under the ruse of a nuclear “power” program for years. Anyone who has studied the issue knows that Iran’s leadership has stated repeatedly their intention to use those weapons on Israel. Back in December, Ayatollah Ali Akbar Hashemi-Rafsanjani told the crowd at the traditional Friday prayers in Tehran:
“If a day comes when the world of Islam is duly equipped with the arms Israel has in possession, the strategy of colonialism would face a stalemate because application of an atomic bomb would not leave any thing in Israel but the same thing would just produce damages in the Muslim world”
From Iran Press Service (IPS) TEHRAN 14 Dec. RAFSANJANI SAYS MUSLIMS SHOULD USE NUCLEAR WEAPON AGAINST ISRAEL
What is the Obama administration doing about this threat? Actually nothing. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has repeatedly sought U.S. support to bring pressure against Iran to stop their nuclear weapons program. He’s run into a brick wall. Now Israel is facing the very real prospect of being nuked by Islamocrazies.
“You don’t want a messianic apocalyptic cult controlling atomic bombs. When the wide-eyed believer gets hold of the reins of power and the weapons of mass death, then the entire world should start worrying, and that is what is happening in Iran.”
History teaches Jews that threats against their collective existence should be taken seriously, and, if possible, preempted, he suggested. In recent years, the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has regularly called for Israel to be “wiped off the map,” and the supreme Iranian leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, this month called Israel a “cancerous tumor.”

BLOCKBUSTER INTERVIEW FROM ISRAEL NATIONAL RADIO
REVEALS THE “REAL” OBAMA AGENDA TOWARD ISRAEL
I now share an audio link of a recent interview by Israel National Radio host Tamar Yona. Tamar had Doug Hagmann of the Northeast Intelligence Network as a guest on her program. Doug brought out some absolutely terrifying new investigative intelligence regarding the real intentions of the Obama administration toward Israel. I’ve had the privilege of speaking with Doug a few times in radio interviews on the Dr. Laurie Roth Show and I can tell you, he’s one of the most credible voices on this subject alive today. His bio reads like the Jack Bauer character from the TV series 24.
