Obama and Guiliani's Comments to Jews About Israel

Nadene Goldfoot
On the 1st of March Obama met with 50 members of the Conference of Presidents of major Jewish organizations. He spent an hour talking about the future peace deal between Israel and Palestine and assured them that "Jewish areas "would stay in Israel's hands. What he meant by "Jewish areas" was not defined so some felt this was ambiguous.

Then President Obama addressed a group of Jewish Democratic  Doners on Friday about Israel. He said that neither the USA or Israel should be worried about what's going on in the Middle East today. According to him, the changes could be thought of as "dangerous and worrisome" for Israel, but we have to be sober about it. Well, I should hope so! He sees the upheavals and demonstrations as a big opportunity. In his way of thinking, the forces coming to the forefront should naturally align with the USA and should be aligned with Israel. I'm alarmed about what Muslims are saying.  It's not calming my fears.  The Muslim Brotherhood is already speaking out about Israel. 

Obama is looking into the future and seeing that in 10 years we'll all feel now was the dawning of a better era where people will be for something and not against things.

Rudy Giuliani was in Israel this week. He spoke to the Haifa Chamber of Commerce who were involved with Industry's 90th anniversary celebrations and told them he wasn't sure he'll run for president in 2012. He spoke about Iran's nuclear aspirations and believes the military option should stay on the table. He is New York's former mayor. He feels Obama should be more supportive of Israel than he has been and more realistic. Giuliani disagrees with Obama in that he does not blame Israel for holding up the peace process but feels it's up to the Palestinians. The ball is in the Palestinians side and they must solve the problem by talking with Israel.

Refusing to Charge Palestinian with Terrorism

by Nadene Goldfoot

In Miami today Mansor Mohammed Assad, 43 of Toledo, Ohio, a man with Palestinian ancestry, was a passenger on a Northwest plane going to Detroit. Actually he was with three other Palestinians. This one yelled out, "I want to kill all the Jews". His punishment was only to be arrested on disorderly conduct and a few other charges, but not with terrorism.

Boy, what do you have to do to be arrested for terrorism? Build a fire under your seat? What if I were sitting next to him, a Jewish lady? I might have had a heart attack at his outburst.

The officers were told by his 27 year old son that he wasn't a terrorist. That was it. The son verified his innocence. Amazing. Mansor was said to have a short temper and an extensive criminal record. That's not enough to warrent charges for terrorism? Of course, it was someone else's fault. The son reported that someone had to have pushed his button. Oh my, that's why.
Someone pushed his button on the plane? You can blame others for your anger nowdays?

I am deeply appalled that this man wasn't charged with terrorism. It's terrorizing to do what he did, to threaten with death any Jew. The police even had to use a stun gun on this man to subdue him. He wasn't being compliant at all.

Mr. Northwest. I know you're owned by Delta, so both please pay attention. I'm not happy to have passengers in my plane who can threaten my life, even if they are not armed with a bomb. I believe that there has to be some punishment here for this action, whether he's bi-polar or short tempered or whatever. He was sane enough to travel with his co-horts. I'm going to avoid your flights from now on. These "peace loving" people have got to learn that this is unacceptable behavior and has consequences. By the way, his peers didn't stop him, did they.
