Heretohelp: as Obama becomes more of a laughingstock in the world he will try to flex his mini muscles against Eretz Yisroel. So if not yet he will soon. Thanks again to all the Jewish libs who voted for this bum TWICE.

I couldn’t even finish this article. The confusion between Zionism and, lihavdil, Judaism was simply intractable.

The Israelis (i.e. the zionist elite who form the upper crust), would do well to promote national unity. Attempting to alienate a tenth of the population (hareidim, whom they regard as unemployed parasites) is unwise, especially in that they are doing so in a way that will weaken the military and hurts Israel’s already fragile international standing. They also might do well to try to stop relying on “welfare” from the United States and pull in their belts and make their own military equipment and end dependency of American foreign aid.

Demographically, the “threat” is that hareidim will take over the country, and it appears that the Israelis are responding to that threat by trying to turn the hareidim into enemies. Given that the only relevant geographic unit for the Arabs is based on the 1918 borders (all the Arabs east of Suez, north of the desert), Israel have never been and never will be a majority, and trying to gerrymander a Jewish majority in pieces of Eretz Yisrael will not impress the Muslim world.

Focus on the mida-k’neged mida: The more the Israeli government oppresses the chareidim, the more the USA oppresses the Israeli government. Down to the details: the Shaked Committee passes sanctions, and right away, Obama threatens sanctions. It is mamash spooky, how this is being played out.

The demographic threat is a neat way for Obama to pretend that he really cares about Israel’s best interests. However, it doesn’t exist. The Jewish birthrate is higher to begin with and on the rise, while the Palestinian birthrate is lower and dropping.

The only way we will have a demographic nightmare is if we grant the Palestinians the right of return, in which case we will be flooded with them – because in “enlightened” Arab lands, descendants of “Palestinian refugees” are also considered Palestinian “refugees” forever and ever.

Absolutely grossly misleading headline. Obama is not suggesting that the U.S. would impose sanctions or support sanctions, but that the rest of the world would favor sanctions. YWN should be ashamed.
