| Angry White House seeks to 'modify' Israeli regime | |
| 2010-03-21 | |
Despite the utilitarianism of the East Jerusalem suburb's homes, there is a sense of timelessness, born of the settlement's religious devotion and semi-rural setting. Yet across the valley, black smoke rises from burning barricades beyond the Palestinian refugee camp of Shuafat. No one affects to notice the fumes, nor the distant popping of tear gas canisters and stun grenades, a reminder of the almost daily clashes that have erupted between Palestinian protesters and Israeli security forces ever since Ramat Shlomo found itself at the centre of unwanted international attention. | |

| #19 He wants to be able to say I did something that no one else was able to do. Bingo. That pretty much sums up his entire presidency. |

| #18 I don't think it has to do with anti-semitism. It's that it's not a Labor (or further Left) government that's at the controls. |

| #13 For Obama, forcing his will on Israel is a matter of personal ego and his Presidency. That's about 90% of it, I'd say, his ego and his standing with the other socialists and lefty national socialists in the the US and Europe. |

| #11 "Behind his cool detached demeanour, there is a part of Obama that is easily frustrated, almost arrogant. I am sure he has reached boiling point," What's with the 'almost?' Arrogance, insolence, and vainglory have warped this man's thinking, and all his supporters can do is accuse others of insanity... |

| #9 Israel is a speed bump in the destruction of all western power. I know if Israel falls we are all less safe. For Obama, forcing his will on Israel is a matter of personal ego and his Presidency. He wants to be able to say I did something that no one else was able to do. For Israel it is a question of its very survival--That sense of survival is very primal and deeply rooted in Israelis--it crosses part lines and unites Israelis acrosses their differences. |

| #7 Israel is a speed bump in the destruction of all western power. Israel is the only thing standing against an arab sponsored world takeover in honor of mohammed as well as the violence that it brings. Israel is the only TRUE ally you have in the middle east, and a lottle bit of help from God never hurt anyone. Read up son before the management of the world gets beyond your grips. |

| #6 Hunterkiller makes a good point. Israel won't go down easy. As a secular athiest, who realizes Israel is the front line (and most especially the West Bank so called settlers) for those of us who enjoy the safety and security of liberal democracies far from those who would threaten us. I know if Israel falls we are all less safe. And if that requires Israel threatening to lay waste to every Arab state within 2,000 miles then so be it. History won't miss them (the Arab states). |

| #1 Israel–through her leaders and various spokesmen over the years, has made it clear she is not like other nations. Indeed, the self called Jewish state is cut from the same cloth as other cults envisioning themselves as being divine in nature, who are unable to function in the real world in a rational way and determined to go out in a blaze of glory. From Ariel Sharon’s infamous “Let them tremble, let them call us a mad state. Let them understand that we are a wild country, dangerous to our surroundings, not normal, that we might go crazy, that we might go wild and burn all the oil fields in the Middle East, or that we might start World War Three just like that” to Moshe Dayan’s “Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother” to Prime Minister Golda Meir’s “This country exists as the fulfillment of a promise made by God Himself…It would be ridiculous to ask it to account for its legitimacy”, one thing the Jewish state has made clear since her inception is that she is not playing with a full deck, and the few cards she does possess are only jokers. |
