Netanyahu's rebuttal to Obama

Since last week, when President Obama so infamously through Israel under the bus, political pundits and foreign policy wanks have been analyzing not only Obama idiotic speech but Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu's response.

In case you missed it, here are some excerpts from Benjamin Netanyahu, primarily on his rejection of the Obama's call for return to 1967 border where Israel would be 9 miles wide and place it's security in great jeopardy:

“Israel cannot go back to 1967 lines,” Netanyahu said. “We can’t go back to the indefensible lines.”

Netanyahu said "...in order to have real peace based on undeniable facts, the Palestinians would have to recognize Israel’s right to exist and that negotiating with Hamas would be to negotiate with the Palestinian equivalent of Al Qaeda. Hamas is a terrorist organization and has fired thousands of rockets into Israel with a goal of killing innocent men, women and children."

“Israel cannot negotiate with a Palestinian government that's backed by Hamas,” Netanyahu said. “Hamas has just attacked you, Mr. President, and the United States for ridding the world of bin Laden. “

Netanyahu gave Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas a choice: Stand with Hamas or make amends and peace with Israel. He also called for Abbas to resolve the Palestinian refugee problem in the context of a Palestinian state, not within the borders of Israel.

Netanyahu went on: “The Arab attack in 1948 on Israel resulted in two refuge problems: Palestinian refugee problem and a Jewish refugee, roughly the same number who were expelled from Arab lands. Now tiny Israel absorbed the Jewish refuges but the vast Arab world refused to absorb the Palestinian refugees. Now, 62 years later, the Palestinians come to us and they say to Israel, ‘Accept the grandchildren and the great grandchildren of these refugees,’ thereby wiping out Israel’s future as a Jewish state. It’s not going to happen. Everybody knows it’s not going to happen. And I think it’s time to tell the Palestinians forthrightly, it’s not going to happen,” Netanyahu said. “It’s not going to be resolved within the Jewish state.”

Netanyahu to Obama: “We share your hope and your vision for democracy in the Middle East,” Netanyahu said. “Israel wants peace, I want peace. What we all want is a peace that will be genuine, that will hold, that will endure.”

“We don’t have a lot of margin for error,” Netanyahu said. “History will not give the Jewish people another chance.” Indeed with about every major Muslim country stating that Israel doesn't have a right to exist. If one neighbor said that to another in Texas, there be a killin'.

Netanyahu's final (public) words to Obama: “You are a leader of a great people, the American people, and I’m the leader of a much smaller people. It’s a great people too. We’ve been around for almost 4,000 years. We’ve experienced struggle and suffering like no other people. The Jews have gone through expulsions and massacres and the murder of millions, but I can say that even at the nadir of the Valley of Death, we never lost hope and we never lost our dream of reestablishing a sovereign state and an ancient homeland of Israel. Now it falls on my shoulders, as the Prime Minister of Israel, at a time of extraordinary instability and uncertainty in the Middle East, to work with you, to fashion a peace that will ensure Israel’s security and will not jeopardize it’s survival. I take this responsibility with pride, but with great humility.”

Why can't the U.S. find a Statesman like Natanyahu? Why can't the U.S. stand with good as oposed to pacating Evil?

You Cut! - May 22, 2011 Version

Here we are again Boys and Girls,...go to You Cut and add your voice with your choice on what ridiculous Government spending we can do without. I voted to terminate U.S. Contributions to the U.N. Population Fund. The United Nations is one of the most corrupt organizations in the World and serves as a conduit for wasting American taxpayers money.

Terminate the Ambassador's Fund for Cultural Preservation
Saves $60 million
Under this program, American Ambassadors can request funding for grants to preserve the cultural heritage of their host countries, such as restoration of historic buildings, documentation of music or vanishing craft techniques or languages, and conservation of museum collections. The program provided $6 million in grants during 2010, including $575,000 to preserve an 18th Century Mongolian monastery, $30,466 to document traditional Pygmy music in the Congo, $47,000 to preserve carpet weaving traditions in Kazakhstan, and $39,000 to restore 19th Century furniture at the Anton Chekhov House Museum in Ukraine. Termination of the program would save approximately $60 million over the next ten years.


Terminate U.S. Contributions to the Asian Development Fund
Saves $356 million
The Asian Development Fund provides concessional “soft loan” funds at the Asian Development Bank, an international multilateral financial institution which provides loans to governments in the Asian-Pacific region. The Fund supports lending to countries in the region that are least credit-worthy due to low per-capita incomes, limited debt-repayment capacity, and limited access to financial markets. Loans are used to promote economic growth and fund anti-poverty efforts in the borrowing countries. Pakistan borrows about $1.5 billion annually from the fund for projects such as development of its transportation systems and providing urban services. The U.S. Government made a four-year commitment to the Fund of $461 million, of which only one installment of $105 million has been paid so far. Terminating further U.S. contributions to the Fund will save $356 million over 10 years.


Terminate U.S. Contributions to the United Nations Population Fund
Saves $400 million
In the 1980s, President Ronald Reagan withheld all U.S. contributions to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) after determining that UNFPA participated in the support and co-management of China’s population control program. Under the Bush administration, the U.S. withheld funds for the UNFPA from America’s annual contributions to the United Nations due to UNFPA’s complicity in China’s one-child policy enforced through coercive abortion and involuntary sterilization, but the Obama administration and the 111th Congress resumed contributions to UNFPA. HR 1 sought to terminate UNFPA funding, which stood at $55 million in FY 2010. UNFPA funding was cut by $15 million, to $40 million in the final agreement over FY 2011 spending. The President’s 2012 Budget requests $47 million for the program.

Who hates Israel More - Obama or the Arabs?

Unbelievable!! Obama says that U.S. policy is now for Israel to go back to their pre-1967 war boundaries in order to pacify the Palestinians. This is be tantamount to suicide for Israel. My God, I hope they tell Obama where to get off. These are the same Palestinians who cheered when the planes hit the twin towers on 9-11; the same Arabs who lob rockets into Israel almost every day and publicly state that Israel has no right to exist.

We need to play hardball with the Arab world. They will respect nothing less. Instead of putting up with their anti-U.S. bias in the United Nations, lets tell all Arab nations, indeed the World, to pack it up and leave if they are not going to respect and back up American decisions at the U.N.

We could be "nice" about it. "Sorry Tunisia (for example) but the U.S. has decided not to give you X number of hundreds of million of dollars, since it is not in our interests to do so, just like it was not in your interests to back the U.S. on the last U.N. vote."

Below are the actual voting records of various Arabic/Islamic States, percentage of which votes against U.S. interests:

Kuwait votes against the United States 67% of the time

U S Foreign Aid to those that hate us:
