Theosophocracy or the Nazis of our Time
Hitler kept a copy of Blavatsky's 'The Secret Doctrine' by his bedside, ever since being introduced to its teachings by Dietrich Eckart and Karl Haushofer. (see Adolf Hitler, The Occult Messiah, Gerald Suster, 1981).
'The New Age Plan' for a 'New World Order' (Cp. the Nazi Neue Ordnung, and New World Order) have been on sale since the early 1970, and mushroomed in 1975 when the movement 'received transmissions' from 'the ascended masters' (their spirit guides) to go public. Consider the coincidence: In the same year the UN approved of the ill-famous resolution equating Zionism with racism, and cardinal K. Wojtyla published in Rome a book The Art of the Living Word written by his theatrical mentor N. Kotlarczyk who quoted among other authors H. Blavatsky.
Anyone who remembers the early movie inspired by the New Age religious ideas 2001: Space Odyssey will recall the the unexplained scenes with the obelisk that mysteriously appears, and the sudden leap of higher consciousness in those who touched it. According to Hannah Newman this was one of the earliest media efforts to introduce the NA “quantum leap evolution” doctrine to Western society at large. But at that time (1970) New Age “change agents” were under orders by the Hierarchy to keep a low profile; the viewers were shown nothing but a visual riddle, the keys to which were shared with the initiated. Obelisk which induces higher consciousness in those who touch it is obviously phallic symbol of the Aryan god Shiva who, according to Hindu mythology, reveals himself in lingam i.e. Phallus. The Babylonian king Hammurabi received his laws on the top of a phallus. The “revelation” for the “Sex and Drugs Revolution” came from the same source.
Shiva was and still is chiefly worshiped in the form of the linga, usually a short cylindrical pillar with rounded top, which is the survival of a cult older than Indian civilization itself.... The cult of the linga, at all times followed by some of the non-Āryan peoples, was incorporated into Hinduism around the beginning of the Christian era, though at first it was not very important.
The name Lingam appears as a name of Shiva in the Shiva Sahasranama where it is translated by Ram Karan Sharma as "(Identifiable as) a symbol of the origin of the Universe. The Christian heretic Justin who envisaged Jesus as ever-existent “seed-sowing Reason” believed that the good God was an erect phallus, like Shiva (Hippolytus, Refutation 5.7.21-22). Copernicus's expression “family of stars” belongs to the teachings of the Aryan cosmogony. A few years ago, Father George Coyne, head of the Vatican Observatory Research Group suggested that we might view stars as God's sperm, which is the basic teaching of the Aryan cosmogony. In the Hindu Myth when the desire arose in it (i.e. in the sun god in the shape of linga (phallus) “the creation” or rather emanation or emission (ejaculation) of semen followed. In the beginning there was sexual desire...
In Hindu Dharma, Bansi Pandit explains that "Shivalinga consists of three parts. The bottom part which is four-sided remains under ground, the middle part which is eight-sided remains on a pedestal and the top part which is actually worshipped is round. Gopisvar lingam showing lingam inside a eight-sided structure inspired the architecture of Al Aqsa mosque which is also a combination of lingam inside an octagonal structure.
Behind the Palestine First Policy
According to the Programme aka The Plan of this religion, published in 1975 the Jewish people whether they know it or not, are a dysfunctional segment of humanity. Their rehabilitation must begin by eliminating the religion which gave them these delusions – a religion so powerful that it unfortunately has infected other religions and peoples with a belief in the One God as revealed to Israel. Part of New Age “transformation of society involves spreading disinformation about the Jewish religion. Truth is irrelevant to the art of molding public opinion in an Entity War (as New Agers and UN leader Robert Muller described it. The goal behind the delegitimiztion of this religion is to remove its influence from other spiritual systems (especially from Christianity, the daughter religion of Judaism and the most corrupted by it. As for Jews who refuse to give up their identity delusion, the Plan has a final solution. For New Agers any kind of Jewish identity will be considered religious obstacle to human evolution, a matter to be resolved in the planned global. purge.
The first line of attack of the Western mainstream media was and still is to focus all or most of public attention on the “Israeli abuse of Palestinians” Although certainly this problem existed, it was proportionally just a segment of the global abuse of human rights in the region. Quantitatively, by comparison, there were as many political prisoners or “disappeared” individuals in the Arab world and Iran in the 1990s as the entire population living in Gaza – that is to say, one million people. The apologist elite in the West, and increasingly the globalized radical media from the region, systematically omitted the hundreds of thousands of abused prisoners in Iranian, Iraqi, Syrian, Sudanese, Libyan, and Lebanese jails, focusing on Israel and the United States and “abuse linked to pro-American regimes in the region.” The imbalance was so flagrant that prominent journalistic and audiovisual media in Europe and North America often refused to publish or air reports sent in by dissidents and opposition groups if they didn't toe the party line of the lobbies. (Walid Phares. The War of Ideas.Jihad Against Democracy. 2007)
Forget Ukraine (60 million People),
Forget Kurdistan (30 million People)
Let me remind in this context revealing words of US President G.H. Bush from his speech to the Ukrainian parliament: After the sessions with Gorbachev were over, Bush went to , the capital of Ukraine, where he rejected a private meeting with Ivan Drach, the leader of the Rukh, the main opposition movement. In the Ukrainian capital on August 1, “Chicken ” Bush made his infamous speech in which he warned about the dangers inherent in nationalism.
And then, the crowning insult to the Ukrainians, who had been denied their nationhood for centuries: “…freedom is not the same as independence. Americans will not support those who seek in order to replace a far-off tyranny with a local despotism. They will not aid those who promote a suicidal nationalism based upon ethic of hatred.” It was an insult the Ukrainians and other freedom fighters will not soon forget, and it had the benefit of opening the eyes of more than a few as to what of kind of bird this Bush really was (www.tarpley.net/bush24.htm). The Ukrainian are a nation of 60 million people and yet, ulike Palestinians they don't deserve full independence. Possibly, because, unlike the Palestinians, they don't live close to the Suez Canal.
Bad “Racial Karma” means The Jews don't belong to a “Favoured race”
In the Palestinian propaganda the Jews are treated as a mongrel race: “The twelve sons of Jacob fled to Egypt, interbred with the Egyptians there and became numerous. Moses and his followers wandered in the desert; they were not endowed with any scientific or artistic talents and made no cultural achievements whatsoever…” And as such, as A. Hitler pointed out: “The Jewish person, with all its apparent intellectual qualities, is nevertheless without any true culture, especially without a culture of its own. For the sham culture which the Jew possesses today is the property of other peoples, and is mostly spoiled in his hands.” In the mind distorted by the Nazi propaganda the Biblical geocentrism and creationism are no cultural achievements whatsoever. And that explains the double rehabilitation of heliocentrism and evolutionism by John Paul II and his postulate of establishing a Palestinian state on the ruins of the Jewish state. And here, let me point out how the KJV is helpful in such an undertaking. Following in the footsteps of the Nazi Propaganda the Palestinians embraced G. Bruno's defaming epithet denigrating the Jews as “the excrements of Egypt.” Hand in hand with the pendulum goes the map of the Middle East in the same UN building on which there is no Israel. People who don't understand that heliocentrism is physically and mathematically impossible don't understand much about Science.
The Maharishi Mahesh Yogi of TM fame says, "There has not been and there will not be a place for the unfit. The fit will lead. If the unfit are not coming along, there is not place for them. Nonexistence of the unfit has been a law of nature." Ruth Montgomery, a New Age popularizer of A Course in Miracles, who in the LA Times was described as "someone who shows us how to love and how love is a potent force," nevertheless says this: "The souls who have helped bring on the chaos of the present century will have passed into spirit to rethink their attitudes, while the new race will engage in peaceful pursuits and uplifting spirits."
Because of their 'racial karma', the Jewish people have a singularly low potential for achieving entry to the New Age, having a 'blood taint' which is impossible to completely overcome. This, together with their stubborn insistence on one exclusive G-d and their uniqueness as a chosen people, makes them rejects for the Age of Aquarius. The continual Jew-hatred among the nations is their 'karma' catching up with them, as Alice Bailey wrote shortly after the Holocaust:
Taking into account New Age missionary efforts directed at Jews, they would prefer that before leaving the scene, the Jews would first put their G-d to death, by admitting that their faith was based on a fiction. This would mean a complete victory, as far as the priorities of the 'ascended masters' are concerned. www.mega.nu:8080/ampp/newage.html. The same goal can be achieved by establishing a Palestinian state.
Theosophy which became the surrogate religion of Anglo-American intellectual elites is dreaming about “the day when the mind of the western race has broken away from Mosaic chronology and Mosaic ideas of man and nature.” (See William W. Judge The Ocean of Theosophy. 1893, p.62) And that explains their admiration for men like A. Hitler or Ahmadinejad who speaks so eagerly about wiping Israel off the map.
The U.S. Policy in Harmony with the New Age Plan
In his article for New York Post of Nov. 8, 2005 Amir Taheri a member of Benadores Associates based in Washington criticized harshly the US propaganda trick which helped Ahmadinejad to win presidency. Here are a few excerpts from that article:
Shame on the U.S. for backing Iran’s election boycott.
(Amir Taheiri, NYP, Nov. 8, 2005)
In Iran last June, the call for a boycott resonated with frustrated and apathetic voters. Many, if not most, moderates and reform advocates stayed home from the polls. And we all know what followed: the philosophy-loving moderate, Mohammad Khatami, was replaced as president by a radical militant, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad – a former military commander who presides over one of the most extreme governments post-revolutionary Iran has yet had.
That’s right: with what appeared to be endorsement of President Bush and dozens of American-based satellite television channels that broadcast in Farsi, the disillusioned young people of Iran effectively took one of the world’s most closely watched nuclear programs out of the hands of a reformer and placed it into the hands of a hard-line reactionary. Where Rafsanjani and Khatami tried to redefine Islam to please the modern world, a world that is shaped and dominated by Western ideas, Ahmadinejad is trying to revive the purest definition of the faith. He asserts that Islam is an alternative to the current global system, not a candidate for becoming a small part of it.
Seen in this context, his pledge to wipe Zionism off the map like “a stain of shame” is an attempt to force everyone to take sides, and to undermine the Jewish state as a temporary entity. He is asking everyone to decide the nature of the Israel-Palestine conflict. Is it only about statehood, borders, security, sharing of water, settlements and diplomatic relations? If so, it cannot, should not, be treated as a religious conflict, Muslim vs. Jew. It would be a political conflict, one of countless such throughout history and all the religious energy injected into it over the past half-century must be regarded as misplaced.
Those who have tried to build a life on the basis of a little bit of Islam and a little bit of Western modernism are made uncomfortable by Ahmadinejad – who is forcing everyone to take sides. He believes the world is heading for a clash of civilizations in which Islam is the only credible alternative to Western domination. And he is convinced that Islam will win. The dilemma that Ahmadinejad has created for Islamists inside and outside Iran remains. He says Islam is not just a flavor to add to policies that are not, indeed cannot be, Islamic. Either we go the whole way and abolish politics as a space distinct from religion, or we stop using religion as a device to give our policies the legitimacy they
do not deserve.
'US appeasement toward Iran is worrying'
Jul. 4, 2009, JPost.com Staff , THE JERUSALEM POST
In the first Israeli response to North Korea's belligerent test-launching of missiles over the weekend, Industry Trade and Labor Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer said Saturday he was "very troubled by the American reaction to North Korea's actions," adding he was "not at all calm regarding the American appeasement towards Iran."
JTA DAILY BRIEFING Wednesday, Jan. 04, 2006,12:02pm
The Bush administration wants Palestinian Authority elections to take place Jan. 25 as scheduled, with voting in eastern Jerusalem as well.
Palestinian Campaign for an election That May Not Be Held
Campaigning for Palestinian legislative elections opened Tuesday despite doubts about whether the vote will actually take place on Jan. 25.Fatah is looking for reasons to postpone the elections, because of fears that Hamas will win more than 40% of the 132 seats at stake and become either the most powerful political force of a sizeable blocking minority in the future legislature. Many Fatah veterans would rather have no election than hand over such power to Hamas.
Hamas opposes another delay in the vote, having already agreed to Mr. Abbas’s request to move the election from July to this month. (New York Times, Jan 4, 2006)
Steven F. Hayward in his new book The Real Jimmy Carter reveals

The Camp David accords: why Anwar Sadat exclaimed, "I'd just spent two years throwing the Soviets out of the Middle East, and now the United States is inviting them back in"
On April 27, 2002 the Eurasian Party of Russia, an influential Muslim political group gathered to a congress in Moscow. Gadzhi Makhachev, a representative of Dagestan at the congress called for Ariel Sharon to be hanged and the delegates responded with enthusiastic applause. The congress was attended by some leading Russian nationalists. In every issue, Zavtra, a leading Russian ultranationalist and anti-Semitic weekly praised “Comrade Arafat” and justified Palestinian suicide bombers, calling them heroic fighters who are punishing the Israeli occupiers (See, Jewish Sentinel, June 1-13, 02, pp. 6,27). Recall that “Comrade Arafat” was embraced by Pope John Paul II 14 times!

В Москве всегда уважали и будут уважать демократический выбор палестинского народа
(ITAR-TASS) Jan 25, 2006
Moscow will always approve of democratic choice of Palestinian people.
We remember that Pope Pius XII praised Hitler's election victory as the most democratic expression of German people's will. Steven Cook, Mideast specialist and fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations asked in his interview for Ted Phillips How will the U.S. deal with Hamas answered: “I think we’re going to follow the Israeli lead. If the United States seeks to isolate or undermine a Hamas-dominated government, it will reveal, from the Arab perspective, the U.S. efforts to promote change and democracy in the region as a sham. As it turns out Steven Cook was a daydreamer.
Hamas leaders said they won’t relinquish their demand for control of Jerusalem and a refugee “right of return” to Israel. “We will maintain our principles, our objection to the occupation, Jerusalem, the ‘right of return’ and the release of all the prisoners,” Ismail Haniyeh, leader of Hamas’ national list, said Thursday. Haniyeh said the Oslo Accords “infringed on Arab territory,” but said they had “become a fact” and should be accepted, though not recognized as legal. (JTA)
Why OBAMA will not try to prevent another holocaust
Posted by avideditor on July 25, 2008
www.curatedobject.us/.../exhibitions_boston/
From debbieschlussel.com
On the heels of John McCain’s strong statement to Israel and the Jews that he would “not allow a second Holocaust” to happen, Barack Hussein Obama was asked whether he’d prevent a second Holocaust by reporters during his trip to Israel.
The setting for the question is notable. It was just before he made a photo op visit to “Yad VaShem,” the Holocaust museum in Israel.
What is also notable was Obama’s “response” and how it was “covered” by the Mainstream media. While the Wall Street Journal’s Jay Solomon and Cam Simpson noted the question, they did not note the response. Why not?
Well, ABC News’ Jake Tapper did, and it’s telling and frightening (thanks to my friends Sean and Frank at WCBM for the tip):
Yarmulke-wearing fraud Obama Won’t Say No to Holocaust
Upon arrival at Yad Vashem, Obama was greeted by Avner Shalev, chairman of Yad Vashem.An Israeli journalist called out to Obama: “Can you ensure that there will be no second Holocaust?”
Obama walked into the museum’s main building without responding.. . .
In the “Hall of Remembrance,” Obama put on a white yarmulke, lit the “eternal flame” and placed a white chrysanthemum wreath on a stone slab. Obama then went to the museum’s Janusz Korczak Plaza, where he signed the guest book.
Jake Tapper goes on to quote Obama’s BS speech about how terrible he feels about the Holocaust. Blah, blah, blah. Then, this:
Once again an Israeli journalist asked the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee how he’d help prevent a second Holocaust. “Senator can you assure Israel that there will be no second Holocaust despite Iran’s threat to wipe us off the map?” he asked.Obama demurred, saying that it wasn’t appropriate to answer the question there.
“This is Yad Vashem!” the journalist responded. Obama said he would answer the question at a later press availability.
And, of course, Obama never answered the question.
Disgusting. The question is a no-brainer. If you don’t have an automatic, “I will assure that there won’t be a second Holocaust,” response, then you don’t deserve to occupy a square foot of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
John McCain initiated the conversation about a second Holocaust, brining it up himself and saying he’ll assure it won’t happen. Barack Obama had to be asked, and he still couldn’t bring himself to answer.
G-d help us.
Hey, Barack Obama, don’t put on your phony white satin yarmulke again. Sadly, we know what’s inside the head it covers.
No Holds Barred: Open season on the Jewish state
By SHMULEY BOTEACH
07/06/2010 The Jews who were murdered in Germany and Poland cannot speak out. The rest of us, however, have absolutely no excuse.
Helen Thomas’s stomach-turning comments about the Jews returning to Germany and Poland, where six million were killed, are striking for their racism and insensitivity. Whether she said them out of senility or anti-Semitism is beside the point. Either way she has no business working for any respectable media organization or sitting as the senior White House correspondent directly in front of the president of the United States. When Don Imus made racially charged statements against a woman’s basketball team, candidate Barack Obama demanded he be fired. It will be interesting to see how President Obama, who could not offer a single word of support for Israel since the flotilla affair, will react.
One can only imagine the uproar against Thomas had she said that all blacks should go home to Africa, or illegal immigrants to Tijuana. It seems that Jews are the only group that you can attack with impunity, because they are the only ones unwise enough to tolerate it. Better yet, we’re the only group often filled with so much self-loathing that we actually initiate many of the attacks.
FEW OF us are surprised that it is a coterie of Jewish advisers to Obama who have joined him in condemnations of Israel over Jews building in Jerusalem. This week The New York Times published an article by Michael Chabon arguing that many Jews are “blockheads” and notions of Jewish intelligence are highly overrated. He may be correct. But as I read this strange screed from one of America’s most celebrated Jewish novelists, I wondered if, say, Maya Angelou would ever pen an article about how many black dumbbells there are. Attacks on one’s own seems to be an art form perfected specifically by Jews.
Helene Cooper wrote a column in the Times asking whether Israel has become a strategic liability to the US. She quoted many senior Jewish political advisers to the Democratic Party who advised that if Israel continues to embarrass the US, it might be time for the superpower to distance itself from the little Jewish irritant.
The criticism made for interesting reading, implying as it did that while Israel is an embarrassment to the US, its relationship with such great human rights exemplars as Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Turkey ought to be sources of downright pride.
Turkey merits special mention because not only does its media accuse the American military of harvesting organs from helpless Iraqis, which they cite as one of the reasons for the American invasion, but because Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan sees fit to call Israel barbarous, lecture Jews about not murdering and refers to Hamas as freedom fighters. Curiously, at the same time he was spewing his venom toward the Jewish state this past week, the pope was in Cyprus where he was being publicly begged by Archbishop Chrysostomos II, the leader of the Orthodox Church of Cyprus, to stop the illegal Turkish occupation of Cyprus, now in its 34th year, and protect Christians from growing attacks by Turks.
Just prior to the pope’s visit, a Christian bishop had been stabbed to death outside his home in the port of Iskenderun. The archbishop said that Turkey had “barbarously invaded” Cyprus and “continues to carry out its obscure plan, which includes the annexation of the lands now under military occupation and then conquest of the whole of Cyprus. They wish to make everything Greek and Christian disappear from occupied Cyprus.” Of course, Turkey won’t even acknowledge its genocide of the Armenians, a position that Obama has shamefully supported in order not to offend Turkey’s belligerent leader.
Of course, Cooper’s article quotes J Street head Jeremy Ben-Ami whom journalists have come to appreciate because of his consistency and reliability in always saying something disparaging about Israel. In this case he is quoted as saying “he represents Jews who... are raising the issue of Israeli government actions as a strategic liability for the United States.”
I LIVED in England for 11 years and was sickened by the regular abandonment of Israel by some of the most high-profile Anglo-Jews whenever Israel’s actions became controversial. For those wondering why a floodgate of anti-Semitism has opened in Britain over the last few years, look no further than the fact that Israel’s greatest haters can often point to Jewish critics as being much more strident than them. And still it continues, with even high profile Jewish leaders like Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks remaining mum on Israel even while it was assailed by countless countries for enforcing a blockade against a terror organization that has fired 10,000 rockets against it.
Still, I never believed that American Jewry would emulate this cowardice. But Obama’s public abandonment of Israel is directly traceable to the small price he pays among American Jews. On my radio show, many callers contend that Obama is an anti-Semite. I condemn such character assassination in the strongest possible terms. Obama has elevated Jews to some of the highest positions, including his most recent nominee for the Supreme Court, Elena Kagan.
Rather, the president’s inability to condemn Hamas and support Israel, which is a stain on his presidency, results from his considerable moral confusion and a misguided sense of right and wrong. Under Obama, America has retreated substantially from president George W. Bush’s policies of promoting democracy and human rights and has reverted to Kissingerian realpolitik, ready to make deals with tyrants so long as it promotes an artificial sense of peace But Obama can get away with it because American Jewry has become so silent and so weak.
Whenever Israel undertakes controversial action, American Jews begin writing op-eds in The Atlantic and The New Yorker about how the oncemoral nation has lost its way. Funny how those same writers do not condemn Obama’s policy of Predator drone strikes against Taliban leaders that inevitably involve considerable civilian casualties.
Sorry guys. Israel is going to remain controversial, as one might expect from any country under a constant existential assault from nearly all its neighbors. When threatened by Hitler, Britain leveled whole German cities. The US did the same to the Japanese. Israel has never even pondered such actions, even as thousands of its citizens have been blown to smithereens.
The Jews who were murdered in Germany and Poland cannot speak out in support of a Jewish state.
The rest of us, however, have absolutely no excuse.

Increased Violence in Turkish-Occupied Kurdistan
Sivan 25, 5770, 07 June 10 10:54, by Avi Yellin
(Israelnationalnews.com) Three Kurdish resistance fighters were killed over the weekend during clashes with Turkish military forces currently occupying Northern Kurdistan (often referred to as South East Turkey). Two of the rebels were killed near Uludere in Sirnak province, close to the border with Iraqi Kurdistan, when soldiers pursued a group of fighters from the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) who had allegedly detonated explosives on a road as a military vehicle passed. The blast had failed to claim any casualties.
A third rebel was killed in Beytussebap, also in Sirnak, in a battle that erupted after a group of PKK guerrillas opened fire on a Turkish police checkpoint.
Last Friday, PKK spokesman Ahmed Denis announced that the rebels had ended a unilateral truce with Turkey – in place since April 2009 – "because of Turkey's continuing hostility towards the Kurdish people."
The statement came against a backdrop of rising violence between Turkish forces and the PKK. In one of the bloodiest attacks in recent months, the PKK fired rockets at a navy base last Monday, killing six soldiers and wounding seven.
Since 1984, the PKK has been engaged in a war of liberation for the mainly Kurdish populated territories that make up the north of historic Kurdistan but currently exist as Turkey’s southeast. The war for Kurdish independence has since claimed roughly 45,000 lives, with Kurds making up the vast majority of casualties.
As a non-Arab Middle Eastern minority, the Kurds hold positive attitudes towards Israel and generally view Zionism as a model to follow in their quest for independence. The PKK has demanded an end to all discrimination in Turkish laws against ethnic Kurds, hoping instead to be granted full political freedoms. The party has also demanded Turkey's recognition of the Kurds' identity in its constitution and of their language as a native language along with Turkish in Kurdish populated areas. Most Kurds currently living under Turkish occupation openly sympathize with the PKK despite it being considered a 'terrorist' organization by both Ankara and Washington. www.IsraelNationalNews.com
Obama Official: Netanyahu Waiting for ‘President Palin’
Sivan 26, 5770, 08 June 10 12:05, by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
(Israelnationalnews.com) The Netanyahu government’s attitude to the United States shows it is “waiting for President [Sarah] Palin, an Obama official reportedly told Peter Beinart, writing for the Atlantic Monthly news site. Palin was the Republican candidate for vice president two years ago and is considered a front-running candidate for the next presidential election in 2012.
“As an Obama official once told me about the Netanyahu team, with amazement, ‘these guys are actually waiting for President Palin,’” wrote Beinart, a senior political writer for The Daily Beast and associate professor of journalism and political science at City University of New York.
In a critical article noting that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and senior government officials preach to the chorus of right-wing and Christian fundamentalist groups in the United States, Beinart cited the American education and background of the Prime Minister and senior aides. Prime Minister Netanyahu learned at a Philadelphia high school and his close adviser Ron Dermer and Ambassador to the United States were born there.
He maintained that Prime Minister Netanyahu’s reaction to the flotilla crisis “shows just how out of touch he is with America” while ignoring what Beinart said is the “need to join the age of Obama.”
“This familiarity breeds overconfidence and ignorance,” Beinart argues. “When Netanyahu travels to Washington, he speaks before Jewish audiences that mostly dislike Barack Obama’s Israel policy, even though according to a recent American Jewish Committee survey, American Jews overall support it by a margin of close to two to one. When he’s not speaking to right-wing Jews, he’s speaking to right-wing Christians. And when he’s not speaking to right-wing Christians, he’s speaking to former Bush administration officials who expect to soon be back in their old jobs.”
Beinart also asserted that today’s Arab leaders, such as Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, who learned at an American university, support non-violence. Beinart contrasted him with Yasser Arafat, although Fayyad is often careful to be photographed with a picture of Arafat in the background.
