Letter from Leon A. Weinstein

*Open letter to my Jewish brethrens*

Until recently those of us who were saying that President Obama is not a
friend of Israel were ridiculed and laughed at. See how sweet he talks
about Israel? See how he swears that Israel is America s best friend? See
how many Jewish members of congress are behind him? See how many rabbis are
praising him? See how many Jewish votes he gets?

Yes, I see. I am amazed, perplexed and disgusted at the same time. My
question to my brothers is very simple are you crazed, blind, deaf or is
self-preservation that deeply rooted in you? I do not see any other
explanations of why you would love, adore, cherish and praise Obama after
what he is doing to us and to our nation. Yes, we are Americans first, but
Israel is where our roots are, where our religion started, where legends
were born, where for thousands of years our dreams lived. Next year in
Jerusalem was what our grandfathers were saying to bear the unbearable life
they lived. How will you feel after *Ahmadinejad** *nukes Israel while
America is looking the other way? The Obama White House will of course
strongly condemn this terrible and barbaric deed while thinking that now
their relations with the Muslim world will not be spoiled by this
insignificant country called Israel. This is obviously insignificant for
Obama, but very significant for me. My mom and my brother live there. And it
is significant for millions of Christians, who are much more vocal in
defending Israel than most of us, Jews. Maybe all the brave Jews have left
America? Maybe only the weak and the cowardly remain?

Will you, my Jewish brothers, feel guilty even for a second if Israel
disappears from the map? If it will be overrun by Muslims, the blood of
killed Jews will be on our hands as well. What will you say to yourself to
excuse your silence? For how long will you be in sorrow? Until the next
appearance of your new God Obama? Or it is Marx? Lenin? Mao? Who is it
this time? David Axelrod? Rahm Emanuel?

Let me repeat to you what you yourself know very well. Israel was created in
1949 by the United Nations because six million Jews were killed by Germans
and German sympathizers. The world for a brief moment felt guilty and
decided to create a home for the Jewish people. Starting from its formation
in 1949 Israel has fought for its existence against all its neighbors with
population of about hundred times larger than Israel. Those nations have
resources that are about a thousand times richer than Israel, except for one
small insignificant thing called gray cells. Here Israelis finally having an
advantage over their enemies. Jews are by far best researchers in the world,
best chess players in the world, best mathematicians, physicians, electronic
experts, and as a matter of fact are great doctors, musicians, legal experts
and to their own surprise superb military strategists.

Israel has never initiated any wars with its neighbors. Israel however is
constantly attacked and provoked by each and every one of its neighbors and
other anti-Semitic countries of the region and outside. Can you imagine that
in your city or hometown on average there are two or three rockets and bombs
a day going off and killing your children? How you would react? Would you be
demanding from your government and generals to stop this every day massacre?
Would you be calm and live happy life in between explosions?

Israel signed dozens of treaties, each and every time the other side
breached every agreement that was ever signed. Israel wants peace. It wants
to raise their kids, swim in warm waters of the Mediterranean, worship their
God and create new electronic gadgets and cures for thousands of illnesses.
The neighboring countries want to erase Israel and its population from the
face of the earth. They said it thousands of times and repeat at every
festive occasion.

Israel is the size of Los Angeles County. Its neighbors proved several times
that when they occupy hills at the Israeli border, every car and train that
goes between Haifa, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem is a subject of an artillery or
rocket attack. It is impossible to live in Israel if the heights on the
borders are in the hands of Arabs.

Millions of Muslims live in Israel; they vote, they are members of the
parliament, practice their religion and travel abroad. They even give
speeches about how terrible their life is under Israeli occupation. No one
yet was punished for those speeches they constantly repeat on Israeli
television. Muslims are lawyers, physicians, teachers and business people
who have in Israel equal right with Jews. Go to Israel and see for yourself.

No Jew however can peacefully live on a territory of any neighboring Muslim
country. Such a Jew will be killed, tortured, his family will be raped and
crucified and their home destroyed. It was done thousands upon thousands of
times. No proof needed any more. There are no Jews in Lebanon, Syria or
Jordan. They all left or were killed.

There is a territory now called Palestine. It was once part of Jordan, but
after several attacks by Arabs on neighboring Israeli villages, the
territory was taken by Israelis and now is under Israeli control. Israel
agreed to return most of it back to Arabs, but it will never return the
hills on the borders to Arabs. It would be suicidal. Israel will not build a
wall dividing its capitol in two parts. It is the capitol of their state.
Can you imagine your sworn enemy occupying half of Washington DC, and
teaching their children that for every American killed they will be awarded
seventy virgins by the mighty God?

Israel will not stop breathing, producing, creating, living. Israel will
never give up its right to be a nation under God, equal with other nations,
with the same rights that other nations have.

Obama demands that Israel stop building homes on its own territories, in its
own capitol and within its own Jewish neighborhoods. Even Arab leaders never
asked Israel to stop building housing in Jerusalem. Palestinians have never
ever demanded as a pre-condition to any negotiations to stop construction in
Israeli neighborhoods. The first one to demand construction of housing in
Jerusalem to stop was the mighty President of the United States of America
Barack Obama.

Now Palestinian leaders, in order not to look less demanding than American
president, insist on freezing construction in Jerusalem. Jews can't stop
building homes for their own citizens. Palestinians can't now drop this
demand. This ends any possible peace accord or even negotiations. That is
not a simple flop in Obama s foreign policy. It is a manmade disaster. And
we know which man has created it.

When Obama did a similarly unwise move for the first time, we all thought
that he did it because of his inexperience in International affairs. When a
person whom everyone calls smart does it for the second time, we understand
that it is done intentionally. There are a couple of possible explanations
of what those intentions can be. All of the possible explanations are ugly.

I however am not discussing Obama or his policies. I am talking to you, Jews
for Obama. We are demanding that moderate Muslims condemn terrible acts of
their fanatical brethren. Isn't it about time you come out of your closets
and condemn actions of your wonderful progressive president who is
destroying our best ally, the only democracy in the middle east, a country
populated by children and grandchildren of those who was burned in Hitler s
crematoriums and by those who were silent, who looked the other way when
Hitler was killing six million Jews? There are exactly six million Jews in
Israel now.

Where are you, why you are not all over this new Holocaust? Iran has
promised to nuke Israel out of existence the moment they are able to. They
will be able to very soon. Obama will not stop Iran and will not help Israel
to prevent it from happening. It was you who said Never again! You keep
saying that every Passover. It is about to happen again and now with your
help.

Raise your voices! Get out of hiding! Say no to Obama. Say, Mr. President,
you will lose our votes and our support. You will lose us if you will sell
Israel for Arab s oil, or for whatever it is you want them to give you in
exchange. If you think that when you will sell Israel, the Arabs will become
our friends, think again. Maybe they will be your friends Mr. President, but
not America's friends. America is the Great Satan they are fighting with.
You will sell our friends and bombs will come to our doorsteps.

Popularity of Obama in Israel dropped from seventy percent year ago to seven
per cent twelve months after the inauguration. Jerusalem Post wrote that it
falling deeper and deeper and now is about four percent. Tell my brother and
mom who live in Israel, tell all your relatives and friends, to all Israelis
that you never raised your voice because of political correctness. Tell them
that their lives are not that important for you to speak up.

Or do not say anything at all. Go to your bedroom and put your head under a
pillow. And feel sorry for yourself!
