After his promise of peace with the Islamic world, in no time this savior of America, the man who said Yes, We Can became increasingly lonely and besieged by an unlikely coalition of Zionists, the loony left and right-wing racists.<\/p>\n<p>Barack Obama has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/hasen\/spages\/1097268.html\">become the bane<\/a> of Israeli Jews, wrote the Jewish <i>Forward<\/i>\u2019s Nathan Jeffai. Only 6% of Jewish Israelis consider his views pro-Israel, while over 50% see him as pro-Palestinian and about 30% consider him neutral. This President is lethal for both Israel and the free world, exclaimed the starry-eyed British Zionist columnist, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spectator.co.uk\/melaniephillips\/3736806\/he-doesnt-get-it.thtml\">Melanie Phillips<\/a>. Obama, she said, is destroying \u201cthe security not just of Israel but the world through his reckless appeasement of Iran\u201d. He \u201chas actively undercut the Iranian democrats\u2026 Obama has decided America will \u2018live with\u2019 a nuclear Iran. Which leaves Israel hung out to dry\u201d. There are hundreds, nay, thousands of such pieces, relentlessly attacking the President for trying to stop Israel\u2019s abuse of Palestine. They turn the man who received some 80% of the Jewish vote into a black monster craving for Jewish blood.<\/p>\n<p>The Israel Lobby\u2019s hatred of the president became a new secret taboo never to be spoken of, just silently acknowledged \u2013 like the Israel Lobby\u2019s drive for the Iraq war and for a bombing of Iran. In a short video shot by <a href=\"http:\/\/maxblumenthal.com\/2009\/06\/feeling-the-hate-in-jerusalem-on-the-eve-of-obamas-speech-in-cairo\/\">Max Blumenthal<\/a>, young American Jews on a visit to Israel speak with fiery hatred about their new president. This video opened a narrow window into the even more narrow viewpoint of Jewish Obama-haters. In no time, the window was shut and this evidence destroyed. Click the offered link, if you wish, you\u2019ll find no video. YouTube removed it \u201cdue to terms of use violation\u201d. (There is an alternative <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wMptup-iOfI\">link<\/a>, still not discovered by the Search-and-Destroy team of AIPAC). An important and rather sane American voice, the <i>Huffington Post<\/i> also took the video down, claiming it \u201chad no news value\u201d. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.richardsilverstein.com\/tikun_olam\/tag\/jews-hate-obama\/\">Richard Silverstein<\/a> mused that \u201cfor <b>some<\/b> liberal political websites posting material that is too embarrassing for Israel is not kosher, even if it is Israelis or Jews themselves who are doing the embarrassing.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The neocons attacked Obama because of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.israelshamir.net\/English\/Iran1.htm\">his stand on Iran<\/a>. When the President refused the pressure and did not try to de-legitimise the Iranian government, Paul Wolfowitz, the man behind the Iraq War personally <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2009\/06\/18\/AR2009061803496.html\">demanded<\/a> to see more blood.<\/p>\n<p><b>However, the truly horrific power of the Lobby is in its ability to mobilize masses of people of ostensibly differing views and lead them to a single goal. After the Lobby began drawing his blood, certain left-wing writers and our internet media happily joined the Obama lynching party.<\/b> <\/p>\n<p>William Blum is not a neocon like Wolfowitz or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishworldreview.com\/0609\/glick060509.php3\">Caroline Glick<\/a>, he is a strong <a href=\"http:\/\/killinghope.org\/\">critic<\/a> of the American Empire.  Like <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/windowsanddoors\/2008\/10\/is-barack-obama-hitler.html\">more than a few<\/a> American Jews, Blum <a href=\"http:\/\/www.creative-i.info\/?p=7474\">compared<\/a> Obama with Adolf Hitler. Blum is not that hard on Israel. He would not compare Zionists with Hitler. \u201cInstead of getting tangled up in who (Israel or Palestinians) started the current mess\u201d, he <a href=\"http:\/\/killinghope.org\/bblum6\/aer65.html\">writes<\/a>, as if it is an obscure point, he stresses that \u201cIsrael&#8217;s existence is not at stake\u201d and wonders about legacy of \u201cthe idealistic Zionist pioneers\u201d. But Obama is a Hitler for Blum, because \u2026 Hitler also gave a speech for peace and against war (!?). For <a href=\"http:\/\/www.larouchepub.com\/other\/2009\/3620obama_revive_hitler.html\">LaRouche<\/a>, Obama is like Hitler for some other crazy reason. The mad Trot wing of the Lobby usually has its own, special reasons to be against enemies of the Jews, but their bottom line is always the same as for the stalwart <a href=\"http:\/\/www.baltimoresun.com\/news\/maryland\/anne-arundel\/bal-md.ar.thomann26jun26,0,6394128.story\">Republican women group<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Blum typifies the left-wing Obama bashers. They do not care that Obama has been endorsed by Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez. They disregard the voice of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.middle-east-online.com\/english\/?id=32216\">Patrick Seale<\/a>, the doyen of Middle East journalism, a friend of the Syrian Assads who was fully satisfied with Obama\u2019s advances. They are surely more radical.<\/p>\n<p>They complain that Obama did not actually congratulate Ahmadinejad and did not support him. They complain that he did not undo in a month everything that was done during last hundred years. They complain why he did not dismiss everybody who was somebody in Clinton administration. They complain why the US did not join Iran and North Korea in the Axis of Evil. They complain that Obama did not put all the Goldman Sachs staff into a maximum security prison, next to Bernie Madoff.<\/p>\n<p>The Obama lynching party does not even try to be fair: any story can be provided with a misleading anti-Obama headline. Our friend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.israelshamir.net\/English\/Ode_to_Cynthia.htm\">Cynthia McKinney<\/a>, the wonderful ex-Congresswoman and a Green Party presidential candidate, joined the Free Gaza run trying to break the Israeli-imposed Gaza siege. This was a noble and daring enterprise, alas, doomed to fail: as expected, the Israeli state-run pirates seized their ship in international waters and briefly jailed her before deporting her.  The story was correctly written by the Free Gaza movement, but afterwards, it was forwarded and placed on our friends\u2019 sites under false and misleading headline: \u201cObama State Dept. intervenes to block Free Gaza aid voyage\u201d. (You can read it <a href=\"https:\/\/alohapalestine.com\/news\/if-america-had-any-sense-of-justice-at-all-they-would-send-a-navel-escort-with-the-free-gaza-and-the-spirit-of-humanity-and-blow-any-nazi-israeli-gun-boats-out-of-the-water\/\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/obamboozled.blogspot.com\/2009\/06\/obama-state-dept-intervenes-to-block.html\">here<\/a>, among the rest). The headline was not provided by the Free Gaza, as it appears. The US State Department actually did NOT intervene. The Left leg of the Lobby succeeded in smearing Obama \u2013 though the State Department is run by Mme Clinton, and President Obama can\u2019t yet override her and all the rest. Other unwitting agents of the Lobby re-ran the same story under the headline \u201cObama okays Israel&#8217;s piracy\u201d. Nothing in the <a href=\"http:\/\/whatreallyhappened.com\/content\/obama-okays-israels-piracy-no-us-navy-seals-black-mckinney\">text<\/a> (by Paul Craig Roberts) implies or justifies the headline.<\/p>\n<p>Obama bashers ask why he did not send the Sixth Fleet to lift the Gaza siege, and why the Navy Seals did not protect Cynthia McKinney, and they conclude that the president \u201cbetrayed\u201d Cynthia and Gaza. Instead, they could pay attention to the fact that the American mainstream media gave <a href=\"http:\/\/whtt.org\/index.php?news=2&#038;id=3150\">zero coverage<\/a> to the Free Gaza plight. The Masters of Discourse, media lords, the networks are the guilty ones, not the President.<\/p>\n<p>Government is the art of the possible, the art of compromise. Rulers need consensus, and consensus can\u2019t be built if the media is hostile. American mainstream media is Jewish-owned and Jewish-operated, and it has its own red lines. Rulers who forget this get impeached or assassinated. When President J F Kennedy tried to stop and undo the Dimona Project, he was killed, and his position taken by Lyndon B Johnson, the most devout Zionist who allowed Israelis to build their nuclear arsenal and to attack the USS Liberty. If Obama were to send the Fleet, he would be assassinated, and his place would be taken by an arch-zionist Vice President Joe Biden. What\u2019s worse, the American public would not understand his steps. A hostile media would not allow him to be understood.<\/p>\n<p>Obama had built-in limitations: without Biden as the surety, he would never have been allowed to win. Without Axelrod and Rahm, he would not be allowed to rule. These limitations are the direct result of America being formed, educated and guided by its pre-eminently Jewish elites of the last fifty years. The majority of Americans are pro-Israel and are pro-Jewish. This can change, but probably not as fast and as drastically as some would like. This is not only the Congress that is devoted to Jewish causes: a few generations of Americans have been brought up on Hollywood brainwashing, Holocaust stories and Israel worship. By speaking against the settlements, Obama already came very close to the red line no American leader may cross but at his great peril. He may do more, and he should be pushed to do more, but it is the Lobby and its media lords who should be attacked, not the President.<\/p>\n<p>We should be more aware of the distortions created by Obama would-be lynchers. The coup d\u2019etat in Honduras was presented as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/index.php?context=va&#038;aid=14152\">\u201cObama\u2019s First Coup d\u2019Etat\u201d<\/a> by many sites who swallowed the crypto-Zionist Trot lie &#8211; actually, Obama condemned the coup immediately. Our friend and expert on Latin America, Maria Poumier, writes in a penetrating <a href=\"http:\/\/www.plumenclume.net\/textes\/2009\/USA\/obama-honduras-010709.htm\">essay<\/a> <i>Obama did not invade Honduras<\/i>: <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe putsch in Honduras failed, thanks to Obama. This is the view of Fidel Castro and of Chavez. The coup was planned by the Zionist Lobby, by Miami neocons, who want to push the blame on Obama\u2026 but Chavez and Fidel [Mme Poumier has an access to both leaders] greet with enthusiasm the \u201cchavization of Obama\u201d. A Cuban <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aporrea.org\/internacionales\/81231.html\">analyst<\/a> interprets the events in Honduras as \u201ca sign of the declining American Empire\u2019s loss of control\u201d. After the failure to radio-control a civil war in Iran, partly because of the coolness and unwillingness of Obama, it is a new rout for the hawks, so let us be happy with our success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maria Poumier admits that \u201cObama\u2019s freedom of action is very limited. Neither the CIA nor the Pentagon wants to obey him. Zionists in the Democrat Party intended to manage him. But they miscalculated. He is not a raw material for their schemes\u2026 Obama may rule as a king by divine right, being endorsed by the people of the whole world, and he knows it. He is torn between two possible roles: to be the Chavez or Ahmadinejad of the north, or to stick to the role that was envisaged by the original scenario, the role of a modernizing instrument of the malicious empire. A king can be a good king if the people support him and push him in the right direction. He can achieve nothing, if the intellectuals succeed in antagonising the people against him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I am worried that the Lobby succeeded in activating so many forces against Obama. The most outspoken enemies of Jews also got hitched up to the wagon. Not only they are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jpost.com\/servlet\/Satellite?pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull&#038;cid=1245184864673\">infiltrated<\/a>, they are easy to manipulate. A reference to Rahm Emanuel would suffice for them to join in the Lobby\u2019s attack on the president. They spread malicious jokes about Rahm commanding Obama and gleefully number all the Jews in the Administration. I once witnessed the same modus operandi in action against Vladimir Putin. The Russian president was ferociously attacked for exiling and jailing Jewish oligarchs, and at the same time, the Lobby\u2019s agents spread around pictures of Putin in a kippa and listed the Jews in his administration. The idea is to undermine the people\u2019s trust in the President, be it Putin or Obama.<\/p>\n<p>Putin and Obama are due to meet this week. They may compare notes: how to survive the Lobby\u2019s attack; and Putin, not the most brilliant of the two, nevertheless may give sound advice. Putin won by removing the mass media from the oligarchs\u2019 clutches. They lost their TV stations, and after that they were not dangerous anymore. They still have their regional newspapers, and they as hostile to Putin as ever, but without TV they can\u2019t hypnotise the mass man. <\/p>\n<p>The same advice could be given by Chavez \u2013 it is thanks to his satellite TV network TELESUR, the putschists in Honduras failed to get international recognition. Now Chavez intends to take the media away from the hostile media lords. This should be done in the US, too. Free media is not necessarily a Jewish-owned one, after all! <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, I will not take part in the lapidation of Obama\u201d, concludes Maria Poumier, and I second her decision: I would not take part in the lynching. I agree with the view of our friend Gilad Atzmon, who <a href=\"http:\/\/www.middle-east-online.com\/english\/?id=32559\">wrote<\/a>: <\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Obama seems to realise what is going on. He knows about the humiliation, he knows about the starvation of Gaza. The fact that he allows himself to juxtapose the Holocaust and Gaza proves that he is a million years ahead of most Palestinian solidarity campaigners who are reluctant to engage in this necessary equation just to avoid offending one Jew or another.<\/p>\n<p>The president has still long way to go. And yet, President Obama has made a major step in the last few days. He is now marching America towards humanism. He reclaims the American ideology of liberty.  I salute the man, I salute the great intellect, I salute the humanist. Gladly I am to admit that God has blessed America. But someone had better take very good care of the safety of its president. He has some fierce and relentless enemies out there. And as we know, they do not stop on red!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The enemies of Obama are indeed plentiful, from out-and-out racists who hate to be ruled by a black, to Zionists who are afraid Obama will take an independent course, to loony radicals of the left and of the right. We should stop them, not add to their numbers.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size:12px\">http:\/\/www.israelshamir.net\/English\/Lynch.htm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The number of those turning on Obama is growing.
