Sorry to knock you off your soap box but you totally misunderstood the Hitler reference. Don’t get me wrong, I completely agree that we must be careful about how we present ourselves in public.(On a side note, I didn’t see any such regarding what the Neturai Karta gang did in Iran this past shabbos. I kow you don;t agree with them but where is the ourage? Certainly they should have received both barrels.) Getting back to the matter at hand, The phrase “We are not going back to Auschwitz” was not meant to equate Obama with Hitler but it refers to Abba Eban equating the pre-1967 boundaries with Auschwitz since it would mean the end of Israel as we know it. His statement is mentioned in the press release in your article and repeated below. I think you owe some people an apology.

Its necessary to remember what Abba Eban, when he served as Israel’s Foreign Minister said when he appeared at the United Nations following the Six Day war, in describing the fragility of Israel’s 1949-1967 map as Israel’s “Auschwitz” lines,”said Rabbi Mordechai Tokarsky

Fatah = HAMAS

BHO supports the establishment of a Fatah-HAMAS terrorist state on the “Auschwitz borders” of 1967, also known as the 1949 armistice lines – which is where the Jewish State found itself after being invaded by five Arab armies screaming, “Itbach al Yahud.”

Every single Arab living in Eretz Yisroel has voted for a terrorist organization – either the PLO (formed in 1964 by Yassir Arafat), or HAMAS.

The Arabs turned down a “Palestinian” state in 1947, preferring to invade the just-born State of Israel and slaughter 6000 Jews.

The Arabs turned down a “Palestinian” state in 2000, preferring to launch an intifida.

I think President BHO would love to be compared to FDR.

A gutten Erev Shabbos to all.I do not understand what you are all thinking.President Obama is a narcacist,which means everything he does and says is Me,Myself and I. He can say whatever he wants, but keep in mind he does not control the world and certainly does not control Eretz Yisroel. He is a puppet on a string and Ribono Shel Olom is his master. We do not what lies ahead,but didn’t the President forget to acknowledge that without Hashem, Osama Bin Laden would not have been found.Anything the President does is Yad Hashem whether we see it or not.Hashem is just reminding us with the tongue of the President that he wants us to continue Davening for the Refuas needed, Parnasa needed, Hatzlocha needed, Gezunt needed and so much more, so that IYH with the tefilos of all of us we will be zoche to see the Geula Bimheiro Beyomeinu very very soon .

I agree with this Op-ed. It is important to distinguish the wrong but well meaning from the evil. Pres. Obama wants peace. We want peace. We just think that his plan won’t bring peace. Pres. Obama is wrong, not evil.

This is not a strong departure from past US policy, as Charlie Hall pointed out, the US has long supported a Palestinian state with them getting Gaza and the West Bank, i.e 1967 borders. But, it is a strong departure in attitude. The president made requests of the Palestinians, but demands of Israel. He stated that the new
Palestinian state must have “contiguous” borders. This is a departure from past US policy and it is scary.

Instead of Obama exterminating the Jews, he creates a situation where Israel can’t defend itself. Ben Gurion Airport will be 3 miles away from the “Palestinin State,” and the Hamas terrorists will be able to have Rocket target shooting at the airport. They’ll also conquer the hilltops around Jerusalem, overlooking the Israeli roads, from where they’ll be able to station their sniper shooters.To sum up, Obama is a white collar antisemite who sends his blue collar Palestinians to do his job.

I agree with Shazam, but not for what CharlieHall says…for this is adeparture from prior policy.

Daddy Bush is on record as saying that going back to the “’48 Armistice lines” … i.e the ’67 boundaries…is not feasible, and that has been United States policy until yesterday.

But that said, we need to note also the President’s statement yesterday that negotiations would be dependent upon recognition of Israel as a “Jewish state;” this is a precondition the Palestinian authority, much less Hamas, appears simply unwilling to meet…it would torpedo their so called right of return demand. Note also that the President set out his vision…but did not say or imply that the United States was going to step in actively as a party to any negotiations

I agree. It is despicable and disrespectful to call anyone a Hitler, Nazi, anti-Semite etc. President Obama may an arrogant, arch-liberal community organizer who is sympathetic with the Muslims, but he’s not an anti-Semite. He may be a naive ideologoue, but he’s no Hitler.

You are just a liberal Jew who cannot come to terms with the fact that the democratic party does not have the Jewish people’s best interest in mind anymore.
