U.S. Support of Israel is Insane
7/5/11 – President Obama – Yesterday Gregory Delavekouras, Greek Foreign Ministry Spokesman said, "It is first and foremost an issue of security, for the people themselves and for stability in the region. And this is why the international community in its entirety has taken the same position, everybody believes that there is a real threat for life for those who participate in the flotilla, and also a real danger of escalation in the region which is right now in a very fragile position."
He says everyone believes there is a real threat for life for those who participate in the flotilla. The threat he is talking about is killing by Israel with the full support of America. Surely you are not so blind as to see that Israel is the problem – not the flotilla members.
The flotilla desires to enter Gaza traveling through Gazan waters. Everyday more people join the plight of the Palestinians. Everyday more American Jews join in condemning your support of Israel. Everyday your chance of being reelected diminishes. Everyday the Arab Awakening grows and all you and Secretary Clinton do is pay it lip service. American imperialism is dying. Throughout the World people are yearning to be free. Throughout the World people are finally realizing that America and Israel are the problem. Movements are growing, but you seem to be oblivious to their causes. How many more innocent civilians will you allow Israel to kill? Will you stand by if they attack and kill American flotilla members saying that Israel has a “right” to defend itself? Against what? Against who? Wake up Mr. President and show the World that you really deserved the Nobel Peace Prize by telling Israel enough is enough! End the occupation of Palestine. Negotiate with ALL Palestinian factions including Hamas. The time is here. The time is now. Tell Netanyahu you've had enough killing and lies and settlement construction. What are you afraid of? Not being reelected? Believe me, if you force Israel's hand, the entire World will beat a path to your door in open support of a Peace that has been a long time coming.
