| One of the Best Each week we provide you with one of the week's most thought provoking articles. | The Silence of the Jewish Lambs by David Podvin
The presidents of Jewish organizations in the United States were craven accomplices to the Holocaust. They refused to support imperiled Jews abroad because doing so would have created controversy at home. As six million of their brethren were being slaughtered, American Jews recoiled into the fetal position. Six decades later, the current American Jewish hierarchy has just visited the White House to demonstrate that while the names may have changed, the cowardice remains.
Jewish leaders in America know that supporting Israel requires opposing Barack Obama, which as Hillary Clinton and John McCain learned means being marginalized as racists. It is a price these invertebrates are unwilling to pay. The Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Committee and Hadassah were therefore silently complicit when Obama permitted Turkey to supply the Hezbollah-dominated Lebanese military with weapons that will kill Israeli Jews. There was additional silence from the National Council Of Jewish Women and the Union For Reform Judaism and the National Jewish Democratic Council when Obama granted to the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip $900 million that will finance the murders of countless other Israeli Jews.

His entry in the White House Guest Book that day is worth noting: ”As the grandson of Jewish immigrants who found shelter from oppression in this promising land; as the son of a World War II veteran who fought for freedom from Normandy to the Rhine; and as a scholar who studied and taught at some of America’s premier institutions, I am honored to represent my ancestral homeland, the State of Israel, to the country of my birth.” “For more than two hundred years, since the Founding Fathers considered making Moses and the Exodus the Great Seal of the Republic, the revival of the Jewish state has been a cherished American dream. John Adams, Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt, and, of course, Harry Truman—all were champions of Jewish statehood in the Land of Israel.” “This legacy is now yours, Mr. President, and I pledge my paramount efforts to join you in upholding the historic United States-Israel alliance.” God says: “My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.” (Proverbs 2:1-6). The Jerusalem Connection says: Yesterday, my wife Patty and I were honored to be a part of a group of Christian leaders that welcomed Ambassador Oren to his new post [Pictured on Top Right]. Indeed, he is a gracious, highly gifted and historically informed spokesman for Israel. However, he faces an administration that is progressively distancing itself from Israel. All indications from President Obama are that the relationship between the US and Israel will become even more strained than it is now. Ambassador Oren has an enormous challenge before him. Especially pertinent is Paul’s admonition to pray “for kings and those in authority, that we might live peaceable a quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.” (I Timothy 2:1-2). | How Shariah Law Has Taken Over The West A Video Commentary by Dick Morris
