You are so right about this current US administration. O seems given to sweeping demagoguic gestures (a la Chavez)in order to gain him instant brownie points with the Arab world.bataweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829104245735619972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-3492807438094262042010-05-16T07:59:59.205+01:002010-05-16T07:59:59.205+01:00Bataween, I was trying to be sarcastic about Obama...Bataween, I was trying to be sarcastic about Obama's "outreach" to the American Jews. He is doing his demagogic best to make vague, general promises about Israel in order to win American Jewish support, while actually acting in a hostile manner to Jews and Israel. <br /><br />He says things like: We support Israel's security unconditionally. Meanwhile, Obama is trying to protect the Iran Bomb project. He and his minions also insinuate that an Iranian Bomb is of concern only to Israel and that the US would be doing Israel a special favor if it did anything to stop it.<br /><br />I think that shipping the Iraqi Jewish archives to an Iraq where almost no Jews live is a very bad thing, a very bad, very unjust decision. It is diametrically opposed to any real respect for Jews. Rather, it seems to be part of his "outreach" policy toward Muslims, as exemplified in the ridiculous but sinister Cairo speech. Further, the decision seems to demonstrate not only contempt for Jews but ignorance of the history of the Jews in Babylon/Iraq and of the current state of attitudes toward Jews in Arab/Muslim lands.Eliyahu m'Tsiyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973268399414290195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-27062931420944217452010-05-15T23:49:10.880+01:002010-05-15T23:49:10.880+01:00What Jewish community?

By rights the archive should go to Israel, where 90 percent of Iraqi Jews now live.bataweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829104245735619972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-55137198303044554582010-05-15T21:12:19.446+01:002010-05-15T21:12:19.446+01:00giving the Jewish archives "back" to Ira...giving the Jewish archives "back" to Iraq may be one of the Obama administration's ways of making friends with the Jewish community.Eliyahu m'Tsiyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973268399414290195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-23228786498204149072010-05-15T17:56:35.099+01:002010-05-15T17:56:35.099+01:00The Iraqi government treats archives a lot better ...The Iraqi government treats archives a lot better than they treat flesh and blood human beings.victornoreply@blogger.com
