Obama's Democrats: Israel Betrayed

 

Via the Republican Jewish Coalition

 

 

Even CNN cannot cover for Obama and the Democrats' new party platform in regard to Israel.

The Democrats have stripped vital pro-Israel language from their 2012 platform.

According to the new document, Israel is no longer America's "strongest ally in the region." The world according to Obama will, no doubt, move whatever tyranny is run by the Muslim Brotherhood to that slot.

Here is the paragraph missing from the new platform. Let's analyze. Pay special attention to the sections in bold:

The United States and its Quartet partners should continue to isolate Hamas until it renounces terrorism, recognizes Israel's right to exist, and abides by past agreements. Sustained American leadership for peace and security will require patient efforts and the personal commitment of the President of the United States. The creation of a Palestinian state through final status negotiations, together with an international compensation mechanism, should resolve the issue of Palestinian refugees by allowing them to settle there, rather than in Israel. All understand that it is unrealistic to expect the outcome of final status negotiations to be a full and complete return to the armistice lines of 1949. Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel. The parties have agreed that Jerusalem is a matter for final status negotiations. It should remain an undivided city accessible to people of all faiths.

The United States should continue to isolate Hamas until it renounces terrorism.

Judging by Obama's support for the Muslim Brotherhood Seraphic Secret views the omission about isolating Hamas as preparation for recognizing the Jew-hating terrorist organization.

...should resolve the issue of Palestinian refugees by allowing them to settle there, rather than in Israel.

Deleting this clause legitimizes the Arab strategy of flooding Israel with some 4 million hostile Arabs who will destroy the Jewish state through demographics.

... All understand that it is unrealistic to expect the outcome of final status negotiations to be a full and complete return to the armistice lines of 1949.

Well, getting rid of this language is what Obama's all about. He's already demanded that Israel begin negotiations at the 1949 armistice lines.

Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel.

In short, the new position is that the entire city of Jerusalem is up for grabs.

Even famed lawyer Alan Dershowitz -- we went to the same high school, Brooklyn Talmudical Academy -- an Obama supporter, is troubled by the new language of the Democrat platform. He told the Daily Caller:

"I think one shouldn't give too much weight to platform pronouncements, but in this case, I think the omissions are troubling -- particularly the omission about the Palestinian refugee issue and Hamas are, I think, deeply troubling."

Make no mistake about it, this perfidious Democrat platform was carefully vetted by several Democrat committees. It is not the work of Democrat extremists. It is mainstream Democrat ideology. Just as mainstream as taxpayer-funded birth control, and taxpayer-funded abortions, including third trimester abortions.

And when 2016 rolls around Seraphic Secret guarantees that Democrat language supporting Israel will be further weakened, if not invisible. This Democrat party platform aligns perfectly with how Obama has mistreated Israel, and reflects the growing hostility of the Democrat party to the Jewish state.

Of course, the 2012 Democrat platform also deletes all references to G-d.

That's because, like all leftist movements, the state and its beloved leader are G-d.

UPDATE: The Dems just reinstated G-d and Jerusalem with a minority vote. Always nice to see big government advocates get slapped down by their own big government.

Tyranny always devours its offspring.
