Read my latest article over at The American Thinker:
The AIPAC Boycott and Obama
By Pamela Geller, American Thinker, March 23, 2019:
The candidates who are boycotting AIPAC include senators Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, and Bernie Sanders, as well as Beto O’Rourke, Pete Buttigieg, Julian Castro, and Howard Schultz. According to NBC, “the candidates’ decisions to skip the prominent pro-Israel lobbying group’s conference come one day after liberal group MoveOn.org called on all 2020 presidential candidates to steer clear of the event.”
Story continues below advertisementThe Democrats are now officially the party of Jew-hatred. This is largely due to the disastrous presidency of Barack Hussein Obama. It was Obama, with his consistently shabby treatment of Benjamin Netanyahu and relentless demonization of Israel, who mainstreamed and normalized anti-Semitism among the Democrats.
I warned about it all. In May 2008, before Obama was elected, a reader invited me to a senior-level AIPAC event at Cipriani’s. I went up to the Executive Director, Howard Kohr, and said that I understood AIPAC was “nonpartisan, but Obama will be lethal for the Jews.” Kohr scoffed. I went on to relate all that I had unearthed in my two years of relentless investigation of Obama, and I laid it out, point by point, fact by fact, with as little hyperbole as possible. Kohr shook his head. He would have none of it. We are nonpartisan, he insisted. To what point are you nonpartisan? If there is a candidate, a party, an official that is a Jew-hater, do you maintain neutrality, like Switzerland? He just smiled and walked away.
I meticulously documented Obama’s Jew-hatred, and his entourage of Jew-haters, in my book The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s War On America. I noted in that book that the American Jews who voted so overwhelmingly for Obama could have and should have seen his anti-Semitism and how he would normalize Jew-hatred in the Democrat Party. Take, for example, of a March 2007 account by the pro-Palestinian blogger Ali Abunimah at the the Electronic Intifadah website. Abunimah recounted how Obama had adopted a pro-Israel position as a matter of political expediency as his national aspirations developed. “The last time I spoke to Obama,” Abunimah recalled, “was in the winter of 2004 at a gathering in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood. He was in the midst of a primary campaign to secure the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate seat he now occupies. But at that time polls showed him trailing.”
When Abunimah greeted him, Obama “responded warmly,” and volunteered an apology for not being more outspoken against Israel: “Hey,” said the candidate to Abunimah, “I’m sorry I haven’t said more about Palestine right now, but we are in a tough primary race. I’m hoping when things calm down I can be more up front.” Abunimah added: “He referred to my activism, including columns I was contributing to the The Chicago Tribune critical of Israeli and US policy, ‘Keep up the good work!’”
Abunimah’s piece — and Obama’s numerous anti-Semitic associations — got little attention. Throughout his life Barack Obama has been close friends with numerous virulent anti-Semites: Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Khalid al-Mansour, Rashid Khalidi and others.
It may be an old cliché, but it’s true: show me your friends, and I’ll show you who and what you are.
American Jews should have noted this, and noted it well. Instead, they fell for Obama’s smooth talk. But when Obama became president, he was true to his word to Abunimah, and turned viciously against Israel. And the whole world should have seen it coming.
Everything that is happening now in the Democratic Party — the relentless pandering to the Jew-haters Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the abject failure and collapse of the effort to rebuke Omar for her Jew-hatred, even indirectly, the boycott of AIPAC by the presidential candidates — I predicted and warned about. All my warnings are coming true. What does Howard Kohr have to say now?
I meticulously documented Obama’s Jew-hatred, and his entourage of Jew-haters, in my book The Truth Must be Told

The democrat/socialist party of today, like the national socialists of Germany in the 30’s hate Jews. Where do you think that will lead them?

The mask of sanity and tolerance is slipping completely off The Democrat Party.
We are all seeing what goose-stepping, vicious fascists they ALWAYS have been underneath.

And RUSSIAN TV (RT) continues its war against AIPAC.
Google: “RT AIPAC” (no quotes) and read the headlines. Also click the google video link to see their anti-AIPAC videos going back to 2012 or earlier.

America’s interests in the WAR ON TERROR are under attack.
From the outside: it’s Iran and it’s allies Russia, and China.
From the inside: it’s Muslim Nationalism, Open Borders, and the worthless Democrat party (Labour in the UK).

Nope. I don’t believe the vast, overwhelming majority give a damn. They’ve abandoned God and lost their minds. Notice the daily headlines-hardly anything we do, now, as a nation makes any sense.

I agree, the youth of this country don’t really care, they have already been indoctrinated by years of public and college schooling! The media only reports what is harmful to conservatives, will not report anything as such about the Libs, Even to the point of lying and fabricating storys We have the demonrats trying to overturn everything that costs them elections like the electoral college, trying to stack the Supreme court, getting 16 year olds to vote! They are no longer trying to hide their vitriol against everything conservative! We have the worthless members of congress who do nothing, have spent two years trying to impeach Trump for made up crimes. Now it has also come to violence, the left, who calls everyone who disagrees with them facist, then, turns to violence to prove their point, and, their ignorance, It is unbelievable the times we live in! But, remember those who fail to learn from history are bound to repeat it, well, I feel that is what is happening right now!

in the long run, this is all good. the democrat-muslim party is daily being shown more and more to be what they have been since they murdered JFK….america-hating socialists who, among other things, hate God, jeeeews, and christians and unborn children. they are the party of hatred and perversion, and in 2020, no american can pretend they “didn’t know” when they vote this domestic enemy, which will make them a domestic enemy, and an easier target when our national cleansing begins in the next decade

In the old days, I would have thought that too… but I am not so sure. The media covers it up.
It’s really going to be up to us to make 2020 with Trump as President happen.
We are being censored more and more. It is becoming more violent too.

Omar has been encouraging that in the speeches she gives to audiences friendly to her
kind of thinking. Like Maxine Waters, she is encouraging Muslims to get in peoples faces–etc. I think we know where that leads.

Off topic but good news!
Romania and Honduras commit to Jerusalem embassy move
March 24, 2019
Speaking at AIPAC, Romania’s prime minister said she will move her country’s embassy to Jerusalem. Honduras’ president says his country will set up a diplomatic mission in the city.
Now if Honduras would STOP their people invading the U.S. ILLEGALLY, I’d be even happier!

Obama was not evil incarnate in regards to Israel. He put up Defense funds for Israel to the tune of $40B. He stood up for Israel in 3 wars with hamas and funded Iron Dome. Where he failed us….The virulent anti semitism on the college campus, he never said a word. The immigration of hundreds of thousands Jew hating moslems allowed into America, the $150B he paid into the Iranian coffers knowing that the money would be used to fund terror. The failure to rein in the UN. Then one week before leaving office he stood shoulder to shoulder with the Arabs, haters the EU and condemned Israel for some yet to be built settlements. And, post presidency no effort to steer the Democratic party away for the radical left….And, from the part time contempt to out and out hatred of the only noble state in the mid east goes the Democrats. And, for this I have to blame some fellow Jews: Dianne Fienstien, Bernie Sanders, J Street, the NIF. All Democrats and all of them kapos.

“He put up Defense funds for Israel to the tune of $40B.”
I would argue that his actions did not reflect his ideology; which is very deferential to Muslim Nationalism and anti-western-ism.
Had he ran in 2008 with the IRAN DEAL and standing shoulder to shoulder with Arabs at the UN during the WAR ON TERROR -> Obozo wouldn’t have won.
(He hid his true colors until his last 3 years, fooling everyone).

Complete falsehood. First, the deal is for 38 billion, not 40, over 10 years. A number of seasoned Israeli observers noted that, despite the large number which makes for good headlines, the deal was nowhere near where it should’ve been if a non-hostile Executive had been in power.
‘Stood up for Israel’? He WITHHELD Hellfire missile shipments to Israel EXACTLY when Israel needed them, during their incursion into Gaza to eliminate the terror rocket threat. Even Nixon didn’t pull that crap, and he was not overly fond of Jews.
Obama embarrassed the Israeli Prime MInister by leaving him and his delegation alone in a White House conference room to sit and stew.
Obama surround himself with anti-Jewish advisors including Rev. Al Sharpton (who led two anti Jewish protests in NYC) and Robert Malley, who’s father was a close friend of Yasser Arafat and who blamed Barak, not Arafat, for the failure of peace at Camp David.
Obama insistence led to the Democrats removing four pro Israel planks from the 2012 party platform. He insisted on negotiating based on 1949 armistice lines (“Auschwitz borders” according to Abba Eban).
Of course, Obama’s crowning acheivement (besides the disastrous ObamaCare) was giving the Ayatollahs a clear path to a nuclear bomb or four, and releasing how many billions in US dollars so they could feed their obsessive terror habit.
And if you think things will be better now that Obama is gone, au contraire, he paved the way for Keith Ellison, Tlaib, Omar, and all the other Farakkkhan legislators now spewing Der Juden vomit across the nation.

The democrat party is the party of hate and they are a criminal syndicate. Their support of open borders is a direct threat to the American citizens safety and is treasonous !

He was an IDIOT Negro. FOOL of hate and brainwashed to hating white people and Jews because of his low IQ as a culturally backward SODOMITE.
But we got back at him. The Internet is FOOL of his embarrassing and extremely shameFOOL gaffes and pictures of the sodomite and his transgendered partner is just Hillaryous.
I am convinced that the left and Demoncraps put the Negro up there just to have a good LAFF and humiliate Negroes. An EBIL party. Their name says it all.

Everything America has had to endure, is in my opinion due to Hussein Obeelzebub, the worthless punk, it’s all on him! That idiot wanted to “transform” America and why in HEII would the best place on Earth need to be transformed, for selfish reasons? More than likely, the jackwagon is a narcissistic waste of valuable time!

Don’t forget that many in the Demoncrat party are proposing UBI or Universal Basic Income. Everyone will get a stipend, regardless of their productivity or investment in our society. All form of inspiration to create, goals to make money and help society, and individuality will cease to exist. They are also proposing and cheering for the extermination of personal possessions; such as cars by conferring us to use Uber and Lyft. They want to make us Communist.
