Col. Ralph Peters on Obama's Anti-Israeli Bent
Lt.-Col. (ret.) Ralph
Peters, military analyst and author of a book on Middle East
politics, says Obama apparently has a chip on his shoulder against
Israel – and it’s not “helpful to our civilization.”
Peters, who wrote “Endless War: Middle Eastern Islam vs. Western
Civilization,” was asked to explain why he felt American-Israeli
friendship appears to have been derailed so dramatically. “The
answer is two words,” he said. “President Obama.”
“Obama’s treatment of [Prime Minister Binyamin] Netanyahu [during
their recent meeting in Washington] was disgraceful and shameful,”
Peters told FoxNews. “We treat our enemies with greater courtesy! In
addition, it was counter-productive – because this vendetta on the
part of the White House against Israel - all it does is encourage
the Palestinians and their Arab backers to make ever wilder demands
that Israel cannot possibly fulfill. This is not a peace process;
this is something about a chip on the President’s shoulder.”
Peters says that Obama’s approach is “absolutely” a departure from
past American policy. “It all started with Obama’s Cairo speech,” he
said, “where Obama attempted to appease radical Muslims in the
Middle East, cold-shouldered Israel, and raised Palestinian
expectations that he’d take care of Israel and that the Palestinians
would get their revenge. Secondly, in the past, under Presidents
Clinton and Bush, there were face-to-face negotiations; the
Palestinians were offered one deal after another, and it was always
– always! - the Palestinians who walked away.”
Obama Refuses to Recognize the Basic Equation
The American animosity towards Israel “is not about housing in
Jerusalem or anything else,” Peters emphasized. “We need to back up
and get a little wide-angle picture and recognize the fundamental
issue in play here: Israel wants to live in peace with its
neighbors, and its neighbors want Israel destroyed. The President
refuses to understand that.”
“It’s become a credo of the left-wing that Israel is always the
oppressor,” Peters continued, “and that the Palestinian terrorists
are freedom fighters, etc. … Obama’s mother is extremely left, his
university chums are on the left, he spent 20 years with the Rev.
Wright – all of their doctrines say that the Palestinians are
wonderful and that the Israelis are basically Nazis... I think that
the President has gotten that by osmosis… This is our first
anti-Israeli President; it’s bewildering and astonishing.”
Peters said that Israel is not perfect: “This is not a question of
giving in to everything that Israel wants; Israel screws up too. But
[American policy must] be a balanced approach that takes into
account that Israel, for all its many faults is the only rule of
law, democracy and respecter of human rights in the entire Middle
East; they are part of our civilization. To turn away from Israel as
we are doing is not going to help our diplomacy; it is going to hurt
our civilization.”
Shomair Yisrael's General
Beliefs:
We believe that the Bible (Old And New Covenants) is the inspired and only
infallible inerrant word of God.
We view it as the final authority in matters of faith and practice.
We believe that there is one eternally existent God, and in His triune
nature of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity and humanity of Yeshua the Messiah; in His virgin
birth; in His sinless life; in His miracles; in His vicarious atoning
death; in His bodily resurrection; in His ascension to the right hand of
the Father; and in His personal return, in power, to establish His
Kingdom.
We believe that
all men, apart from the regeneration work of the Holy Spirit, are lost.
Sinners experience salvation by God's grace, through faith in Yeshua.
We believe in the
present ministry of the Holy Spirit, including all gifts of the Spirit,
who indwells all believers and empowers them to live Godly lives.
We believe in the
spiritual unity of all believers in Yeshua, and that this unity does not
eliminate individual identity.
We believe in
God's everlasting covenant with Israel, and that in the end times all of
Israel will turn to God and accept Yeshua as the Messiah.
We believe that
the Torah (Law of Moses) was not given as a means of salvation but as a revelation of
God's moral principles. Therefore; we need to study it, along with the
rest of scripture, to determine how to live Godly lives (2 Timothy 3:16).
We will therefore be a Torah observant congregation.
We
believe God gave us the Sabbath as a joyous heritage and that Sabbath begins at
Sundown on Friday night and extends until sundown on Saturday night
Sukkot:
We believe that the Bible (Old And New Covenants) is the inspired and only
infallible inerrant word of God.
