No Peace in the Middle East

Hurray for Washington!

Sunday night Michelle Obama had a first for any First Lady.  No she didn't learn proper table manners.  No she hasn't learned to dress properly.  Our dear First Lady presented the Oscar for Best Picture.  Surrounded by female soldiers, she told the world that Argo had won.  What joy!  See how low the office of First Lady has sunk.

The culmination of last night’s Oscars broadcast with a Live! feed from the White House with Mrs. Obama (hangin’ with her military BFs) marks the official recognition of the Presidency as theater: like the old Western sets, no substance required.

From the very beginning, President Obama was elected based on his strong delivery of stirring words, “Hope and change,” with no serious vetting of his record or policies. Having been awarded the presidency, as the Oscars follow the Golden Globes, Mr. Obama was next awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, solely for his well-scripted promises for peace.

And thus the facade continues: promising peace and delivering expanded war, with new frontiers broken for drone killings of children and other innocents, legal justifications crafted for killing Americans, and near-limitless executive power over nearly every aspect of our lives. Reciting the Progressive line while delivering impoverishment, decreased access and less-affordable healthcare, clearly it matters only what he says, not what is. His hoped-for next act: new goals of gun control that would make the most vulnerable more so, an increased minimum wage that would further exacerbate the inability of those with no work experience to get an entry-level job in which to hone the skills that will put them on the economic ladder, and “green” measures, based, like the Life of Pi, on computer-generated fantasy so much more appealing than dry real-world data.

But it’s OK. The Obamas make us feel good about ourselves, and, after all, that’s what Hollywood, er, Washington, is all about.

Of course, this didn’t start with this administration. Mr. Bush is still hailed a “conservative,” despite having perpetrated preemptive war based on an only-in-Washington scenario of mysterious WMDs, setting off the executive power avalanche that’s really rolling now, and quadrupling the size of the federal government.

But the trend certainly seems to be finding its culmination in the currently reigning stars of the White House—and it’s certainly not one that’s healthy for the ticket-paying audience.

Could you imagine what the reaction from the Lame Stream Media would have been if Laura Bush had tried such a stunt.  Just because Michelle Obama is the First Lady doesn't entitle her to the perks and privileges of a queen.  In fact she is not fit for such a role by her demonstration of manners (Or lack of them.) during the inaugural luncheon.  And just imagine we will have 3 more years of these antics to cope with.  G-d help us!

Reagan's Message for Israel

Ronald Reagan's words have never sounded more powerful than today while a monster is looming over the world.  The words are from Ronald Reagan's 1964 speech "A Time for Choosing."

Like America at the height of the Cold War, Israel wants peace and is waiting for a genuine partner.

Fears On October

In March 2002 Robi Damelin’s son, David, was shot by a sniper while serving in the Israeli army. He was 28 years old. Robi now works for The Parents’ Circle, a group of bereaved Israeli and Palestinian families supporting reconciliation and peace.

These are her words, her emotions, her prayers for peace.

Before you reach for your gun, or a stone or a hand grenade or whatever weapon suits your fancy. Before you are drawn in by the manic rhetoric of protecting your holy rights, before you are swept along with the crowd, to protect all that is rightfully yours, remember the consequences. We, the Palestinians and the Israelis of the Parents Circle -Families Forum, know well what life becomes when we lose our children and brothers and sisters and family members.

How invincible we all feel before the knock on the door with the news which devastates a family and all who surround it. Please protect your children for they are our future. Please, before you reach for you weapon or give in to an anger mostly created for political reasons, know that no piece of land, no matter how holy, can make up for a smile from your child you will never see again.

Please leave behind this need to be right, leave behind all that inflames you to violent reactions and look into the eyes of your children and thank whoever it is you believe in for the blessing of their love. Look into their eyes and think about their lives and the responsibility we all owe to them. They do not choose a side at birth, they as babies are not aware of color, symbols, flags or borders. They have not decided where to pray, or even how, when they cry the color of their tears are all the same.

How academic to talk on the media of a third Intifada, how academic to analyze political motivations, and how we all are herded into the machinations of political agendas without fighting back. We hear the voices of our children screaming from their graves, "Stop the violence." You of all people of Israel and Palestine know what happens when we give in to these base emotions. You of all people know that after we were gone, all that’s left is the endless longing, the hole in your heart, the bitter sweet feeling that surrounds even the most happy of occasions.

Tell them to remember us all before they reach for that weapon, there is no revenge for a lost loved one.

The Palestinians are threatening to start a Third Intifada, another uprising. Their motive reason is that a group of religious Jews prayed on the Temple Mount and dared to claim it once was the site of Salomon's Temple. To their idiotic thinking, it is ok to kill 1000's of Israelis (the foreign media will cry about the poor, defenseless rock throwers being just children, and the Jews Israelis being bullies), and have 1,000's of their own children slaughtered.

The people of Israel want peace, but not at any price. They will not give up their holy sites for peace, they will not give up their freedom for peace, and they will not shake hands in agreement for empty promises from their allies or foes.

There can be peace in the region, but both sides (not just one) have to want it.
