"Yes to Israel Independence, No to American Dictates". Our Shalom International position also says to Obama: "Hands Off Israel and Hands Off Jerusalem"

This will be a first in Canada against Obama regarding Israel and prior
to our Chicago Rally for Israel and Against Obama on Aug. 9., 2009,
Noon to 3 P.M., Daley Plaza, by the Picasso.
Yesterday,
in another first, 1500 rallied against Obama in Jerusalem and Obama was
labeled a 'racist' for wanting to make Judea, Samaria and East
Jerusalem, 'Judenrein". The Left has become totally racist, let alone
anti-semitic and self-hating. Perhaps, when we rallied in Jerusalem in
May and told the Pope, EU, UN and Obama: "Hands Off Jerusalem",and the
60 media interviews we did, this was a catalyst for the present
activism that is building.
Yesterday, Israeli police knocked
down one outpost, while 11 more went up in this level of resistance,
while Obama and gang pour it on with a slew of US officials descending
on Israel to push Obama/Emanuel/Hillary's agenda to divide and conquer
Israel and the Jewish nation. Bibi stand strong. If you aren't giving
up Jerusalem, you don't have to give in on anything else either.
In last week's Jewish Tribune in Toronto the headline reads: "OU leader
might have defended Jewish interests at the White House 'if there was
time.' Anymore excuses like this and we could all plotz.
There was a crack from Alan Solow, Pres. of Conf. of Major Jewish
Organizations, who was part of that Jewish Org. meeting with Obama, who
wasn't happy with Obama's attack on Jewish building in East Jerusalem.
Solow knows Obama. Solow got some internet coverage and I called him to
come to our rally on Aug. 9, since he lives in Chicago and he could
tell us about the meeting at the White House and he said to me: "I'll
pass",on being there.
So much for resistance to Obama from the established Jewish organizations.
However, in this week's Jewish Tribune in Toronto,which came out today, my letter to the editor was published:
"Jewish leadership meeting at White House called a 'sellout':
"As president of Shalom International, I was firm in our opposition to
the grand sellout by the Jewish groups who met with President (Barack)
Obama.
What kind of a Jew would stay silent and not challenge the dividing of Jerusalem, Jewish for 3000 years?
What kind of Jews would advance their careers by betraying the millions of Jews murdered for Jerusalem and Israel?
What kind of Jew would take this slap in the face to the very group that made his election possible?
It is such cowardice that brought us to this mess.
We are back in the 1930s, just prior to the Holocaust, when our 'leaders' thought Hitler was a joke.
Obama's foreign policy with North Korea and Iran is weak, while he demands Israeli concessions.
He misled American Jews, claiming support for Israel, and now the Jewish nation is in great danger with his agenda.
Where are Jewish members of Congress while this attack on Israel
and the Jewish people goes unanswered by them and by the very
Jewish organizations that are always there for a handout and disappear
when we really need them?
They need to be replaced. Any Jew playing this game with Obama deserves total condemnation and absolutely no support."

I have received 5 messages from folks in Chicago saying they will
participate on Aug. 9. Standing on the sidelines at this dangerous
moment must be reconsidered. Put your differences aside amongst
yourselves and put your priorities in order. Israel and America are
more important.
Below is a very important commentary on Jews who are silent when the dangers are so great.
Yours in Shalom,
Bob Kunst
Pres., Shalom International

The Silence of the Jewish Lambs
July 21, 2009
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. There
has also been stony silence from the Orthodox Union and the United
Jewish Communities and the Jewish Council for Public Affairs following
Obama's decisions to deprive Israel of the fighter jets and attack
helicopters necessary to fend off the Nazi-esque terrorist groups that
he is subsidizing. The
silence of the American Jewish lambs has been deafening as Obama
insists that Israel must not prevent Iran from developing nuclear
weapons designed to eradicate Zionism. Obama
has treated Israel the way any rational person would expect Israel to
be treated by a guy who spent twenty years attending an anti-Semitic
church. Meanwhile, the American Jewish community has been afflicted
with a severe case of moral laryngitis. Even the American Israel Public
Affairs Committee has lost its voice. The group, which Internet
liberals constantly identify as being the driving force behind a
diabolical Hebrew conspiracy, steadfastly refuses to challenge Obama's
irrational hostility towards the Jewish state. For
months, there have been leaks to the media claiming that the leaders of
America's major Jewish organizations are “privately distressed” about
Obama's relentless anti-Israel jihad. These are the self-serving
whispers of Machiavellian poltroons. When Jewish leaders were presented
the golden opportunity to challenge Obama on July 13, they responded by
delivering the most submissive White House performance since the days
of Monica Lewinsky. Fairness
dictates noting that two of the fifteen leaders in attendance did take
an unyielding stance. Debra DeLee of Americans For Peace Now and Jeremy
Ben-Ami of J Street acted as powerful advocates for the Palestinian
murderers they so love. In the ongoing conflict featuring Israel and
Hamas, these progressive Jewish leaders have declared “neutrality”. Yet
theirs is the liberal form of neutrality, which consists of demanding
that Israel capitulate to genocidal anti-Semites. Following
the meeting, Ben-Ami gloated that the Zionist Entity would soon learn
the futility of requesting American Jewish support against Obama's
predations. It seems unlikely that Israel would ever count on American
Jews for anything. Israelis know that when the time arrived to make the
pressure-packed decision between saving European Jewry from
annihilation or worshiping Franklin Roosevelt, American Jews choked. Now, they are choking again. The
communists had useful idiots, people who lacked the common sense to
perceive they were supporting a cause that despised them. The Jewish
community has provided Obama with useful eunuchs who lack the
testicular fortitude to oppose a president practicing the "even-handed"
approach between the Jews and the Jew killers. The
president whom Jewish leaders abjectly adore refuses to meet an Israeli
foreign minister who doesn't like Arabs, but Obama warmly embraces a
Holocaust-denying Palestinian president who financed the massacre of
Jewish athletes. Obama's wrath is directed not against Islamic
terrorists but Jewish carpenters. He is a grotesque bigot who should be
publicly confronted and thoroughly humiliated. Instead, American Jews compete to see who can be his most prostrate sycophant. As
a result, Israeli Jews find themselves going back to the
future...specifically 1939. Reviled by the world, not for what they do
but for who they are. Threatened with annihilation by implacable
anti-Semites. Abandoned by an American president disdainful of their
plight. And
cursed with fellow religionists who embrace the adage that a bowed head
is never severed. Had John F. Kennedy's Pulitzer-Prize-winning book
been about the American Jewish community, it most definitely would not
have been titled “Profiles In Courage.”
