More Obama Antisemitism: US State Dept -- Israel Violates Non-Jews' Religious Rights

 “The U.S. State Department under Secretary Hillary Clinton claims that Israel violates religious freedom in the same way as Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Afghanistan and China.”

More outrageous, judeophobic lies from the Obama administration. Hillary Clinton has no shame. What a tool -- the upside is that she continues to shill for an anti-American, anti-semitic president, thereby destroying her chances for any future run on the White House.

We will not forget, Hillary.

Israel is the only country in the godforsaken region that allows all religions to live and pray in their country, whereas Muslim rule is notoriously oppressive and brutal towards their non-Muslim minorities, as commanded by the Islamic law (sharia.)

Close to a million Jews in Muslim countries were previously expelled. Where is Obama's "right of return for the Jews"? Where is the outcry over the unspeakable brutality experienced by Coptic Christian in Egypt; other Christians in Indonesia and Sudan; Hindus in Southeast Asia; Zoroastrians and Bahais in Iran; and on and on and on.

And the idea that the Obama administration is criticizing Jewish law on the issue of conversion while it stands silent on the crimes against humanity enshrined in the sharia is without equal. Gender apartheid, clitorectomies, honor killings, slavery, extortion, dhimmitude, jiyza, is met with respect.

I have heard nary a word from Obama on the Islamic mandate of convert or die or live in dhimmitude. But he dares to presume to tell the Jewish people who is or isn't a Jew?

Obama in Turkey, April 2009, in his pathetic speech (here's the video) to the Muslim world:

"We seek broader engagement based upon mutual interest and mutual respect. We will listen carefully, we will bridge misunderstanding, and we will seek common ground. We will be respectful even when we do not agree"

US State Dept: Israel Violates Non-Jews' Religious Rights

(Israelnationalnews.com) The U.S. State Department under Secretary Hillary Clinton claims that Israel violates religious freedom in the same way as Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Afghanistan and China.

The department’s annual International Religious Freedom Report, released Wednesday for the year 2009, placed Israel in the same category as countries “where violators of religious freedom have been noteworthy.”

The report complained, for instance, that three Messianic Jews were denied the right to immigrate to Israel during the reporting period.

Other issues of contention included Israel’s unwillingness to recognize conversions performed in the country which do not meet criteria under Torah law, identification cards (Teudot Zehut) that differentiate between Jews and non-Jews, and the authority over marriages and burials exercised by the Chief Rabbinate, which is Orthodox.

In addition, the report claimed that Israel extends protection only to Jewish holy sites, rather than to all holy sites as is mandated under the law.

“The 1967 Protection of Holy Sites Law applies to holy sites of all religious groups within the country and in all of Jerusalem, but the Government implements regulations only for Jewish sites,” complained the report. “Non-Jewish holy sites do not enjoy legal protection under it because the Government does not recognize them as official holy sites."

Outright Lie
In fact, this last is an outright lie. Government security forces often prevent Jews from even approaching the Temple Mount, and numerous Jews have been arrested -- including a young bride and her father at one point -- for infractions as spurious as simply "moving their lips" on the site, because the area has been designated an official holy site for Muslims, where the Al-Aqsa mosque is located.

All Islamic sites are controlled by the Waqf, also known as the Islamic Religious Authority – due to the preference of the imams themselves, and under a special arrangement. Much damage has been caused and thousands of priceless artifacts from the First and Second Temple eras have been destroyed due to damage caused by construction near the Dome of the Rock mosque – which rests on the Temple Mount, where the Jewish Holy of Holies is located -- authorized by the Waqf.

Likewise the churches, which each fall under the authority of their own religious groups. For example, the Vatican controls its own churches, convents and monasteries, and even other properties. Israel has been involved in delicate talks with the Vatican over the issue of sovereignty of some 21 disputed properties in the Land of Israel for more than 11 years – and in fact, the Holy See has not even paid taxes on most of the properties.

UPDATE: This (but Israel denies religious rights)

If divine intervention does not step in soon, I do fear the end of Israel is near. I don't see any difference from nazis, muslims, obama and our state dept. All pure evil with the same goal.

[mk750]

Annie, don't worry. The covenant is eternal. Hashem will intervene in His perfect time but, in the meantime, we will go thru a hellacious time which is all laid out in prophecy. There is NO end for Israel. She is ETERNAL. It is the other nations of the World who will pass away. Read Zechariah for instructions on what to d do if you aren't Jewish.

[Nick]

This makes me physically ill. I can't help thinking of Evan Sayet's analysis of the leftist mind in his speech in '07. I didn't really get it then, I just couldn't bring myself to 'get it' I suppose - but I sure do now!

[sean]

Pure evil.
Is Obama possessed by a demon?

[toliveonthewind]

Why do muslims in Israel continue to live there if it is "so terrible?" Because they'd rather live there than in muslim countries. Period. Isn't Hillary's son-in-law Jewish? I'd like to hear what he has to say about his anti-Jewish mother-in-law. Maybe she's angry at Bill.

This is no surprise.
Hillary has always been an anti-semite.
Remember how she cosied up to Mrs. Arafat when she was first lady?
I think Dick Morris has some stories to tell also about how Hillary feels about Jews.

[miscwords]

" Israel’s unwillingness to recognize conversions performed in the country which do not meet criteria under Torah law"

I can't think any religion that doesn't have criteria for being accepted as a part of it. I know we Catholics do. Not to mention, this seems to say that the State of Israel is doing this, and not a specific sect of Judaism, or temple, group, etc. It's like they are searching for any thing that smacks of a non-relativistic, and I don't mean regarding the speed of light, (progressive liberal philosophy) to pick on. If true, did they actually research why, if it was the State of Israel, they were denied or did they just jump to conclusions and pull out, "The Jews did it," card? Of course we're talking about a Clinton here so I just kind of toss out any thing said except as a, "What are they up to now?"

[Dov]

Thanks for exposing this, Pam. Israel as bad as Sudan? Iran? Afghanistan? I know a Christian woman in Afghanistan who was targeted for execution for becoming a Christian; so far I haven't heard of Israel targeting Christians for execution!

What I wonder is how she thinks she can get away with this.....usually politicians are smart enough to avoid saying something this evil unless they know they can really get away with it. What does she know that we don't know?

[Kevin Stroup]

IF the Muzzies in Israel do not like their living conditions, they can leave. GTFO and now. I could not care less what a Muzzie likes or wants anyway. Why should I? Does anyone think Muzzies care one whit about what the Kafir want? Did we Americans care what the Nazis wanted or thought? Of course NOT.

[Rachelle]

I like Allen West but he is a newbie. Let's remember that John Bolton and above all Sarah Palin have been there for us for a while now. While governor, Palin had an Israeli flag in her office. I often wonder if Obummer has a US flag in his when the cameras aren't present.

[mk750]

Not yet possessed, demon controlled at this point but he will be possessed by the chief of demons when he is declared (anti)Messiah by his mentor and false prophet Soros. Don't let the latest musings mislead you. Soros is just trying to deflect the revolution.

[sheik yer'mami]

Shrillary is beyond disgusting. This bitch is even worse than the Mohammedan moonbat.

In Europe she declared that she wants to see Turkey in the EU, slams France Over Ban on Burqas, Switzerland for Banning Construction of New Minarets…

this is the most insane, disgusting horror cabinet in history!

[xavier 823]

I'm glad Clinton said what she did its just more ammunition to be used against her by anyone who runs against her next election.

[mk750]

RAchelle, don't be naive, that was a dopey little souvenir that she put there for a photo op or something. I can get you dozens of those in the ARAB souk in the Old City of Jerusalem. I seem to remember that she had met with a representative of the Jewish community just before that picture was taken. Any one can wear a flag or put on a kippah (yarmulke) doesn't mean a thing. You just go ahead and vote for her in 2012, since she's virtually announced by saying she can beat him, and you'll have 4 more years of the sheik in chief. Politicians are all the same and they're all controlled. If Allen West is for real, he was set up and won't last. The powers behind thrones occasionally throw voters a bone to make us think we have a choice but we don't. This situation is not limited to the US, btw.

All:

Is it just me, or does it strike you that the Jewish senior senator from the Great State of New York, Charles Schumer, has assumed -- what is for him, strikingly uncharacteristic -- a passive, if not supine, role, in not "bucking" the White House for its anti-Israel vendetta for the past two years?

Memo to Senator Schumer: If you wish to demonstrate to the world that you are not one of President Obama's Uber-Capos, then please speak out NOW against this State Department calumny against the State of Israel -- a nation you claim during your campaigns among your Jewish New York constituents to staunchly support!

[Mac-101]

The Smartest people in the world will vote for President Obama again by 85%. Kinda Like makin the golden calf and worshipin it! This time it's Marxism and Soros is leadin them to worship man over G-d!

[Dennis L.]

What do you expect? Jews are always the fall guy who is responsible for all of the world's ills. Hypocrisy coming out of Washington regarding Jews is nothing new. Following the Nuremberg trials of Nazi war criminals many were let off the hook with suspended sentences or provided entry into the U.S. because it served American anti-Communist foreign policy. Obama cannot have surrounded himself with the likes of Reverend Wright and Farrakhan without absorbing their anti-Semitism. It is time for the American Jews on the Left to realize that this Administration is using them for its own ideological purposes and that any Jew is potentially expendable. Where is Obama's demand for returning Jews to Islamic countries from which they were forcibly expelled without compensation? Where is his criticism of Muslim actions against Christians around the world? In fact, where is the Christian outrage against such actions or is criticism of Jews and israel the only avenue down which they seek to travel? Is the Middle East destined to become both Judenrein and Christianrein?

[Jonny James]

Yea ok Hillary and your cronies. How about you Go fuck yourself no one cares about what you say in Israel except for the Jewicidists and they aren't that many.

Go wear a burka and have a threesome with Abas and your fake husband.

[th]

The Arab careerists at State have been doing this smear of the Jews since near the end of World War One when Europe and the US were vying for drilling privileges with the Saudis for then newly discovered oil. Hill is the shill for the Obamerroid new plan to bring it out in open hoping the jihad crocodile won't eat them. Of course, Jimmeh had Zbignew Brzinisky as his anti Israel advisor back then just as the sheik in chief now does.

As MK70 says it is foretold, armageddon -- the fight between gog and Magog over Jerusalem. They are the western corrupt followers of Esau, (the elder twin who sold his birthright to his younger brother, the righteous Jacob and third patriarch given the alternate name, Israel, by G-d) versus the equally corrupt eastern followers of Moe.

[Brendan]

Of COURSE the modern Israeli state violates non-Jews rights. It was designed that way. If they (Jewish Israelis) allowed non-Jews to fully participate in their country in a democractic way, they would soon be over-run and it would quickly become an Arab state by sheer force of numbers. Hence their policies of segregation.

As for Obama being anti-semitic, that's just a ridiculous statement.

[elvis]

Of course, the Joooooooos cause antisemitism so you, Obama and your ilk are just being reasonable. FOAD

[Lee M]

I agree with many of the above who state that Hillary Clinton is cutting her own throat as far as being elected to any office again. I don't agree that all of her actions are just to please Obama. IMO this is the true Hillary coming out, and she is no longer covering up because she actually believes that she and Obama are going to be successful in giving the U.S. to the muslims who will in turn reward her. She is that stupid that she doesn't realize that most Americans will not allow her and Obama ato get by with much more.

The latest election was just a start. We will not quit until we have rid Washington of all those egomaniacs who sense of decency or right or wrong.

The American people know that Israel is our only friend in the Middle East in addition to being the only democracy in the Middle East. We are not to be judged by the actions of a usurper and his administration. This present set of circumstances will not stand.

[Lee M]

I meant to say that their sense of decency or right or wrong are distorted by their personal lack of any sense of loyalty whatsoever.

[Telly]

I think Hillary is trying to fit in with the nice people at the UN. It's basically the same propaganda.　

But in all fairness, Hillary must know that this is now the highest point and soon to be the end of her carrier. She has absolutely no chance in 2012 or 2016, regardless of what happens to Obama.

After 2012 she will spend most of her time sitting in a rocking chair up in an attic cackling like a hyena.

[Telly]

Brendan,
You are not showing yourself to be well informed. Where is your information that non-Jews are not allowed to "participate in their country in a democractic way," coming from?
You don't even know the claim that is being made by the enemy. But you thought it was so simple.

"As for Obama being anti-semitic, that's just a ridiculous statement."
The best way for you (I mean you, Brendan)to reveal your intensions as being anti-Semetic, is to claim power to decide who is Jewish and what that means. "As for Obama," that is pretty obvious.

[Telly]

MK750, don't be so cynical. If we are talking about the same photo, the flag looks like a desk flag but it is just sort of put on the bookself. I don't know of any reason to believe that Ms. Palin put it there to intensionally deceive us.

[Ashan]

"Other issues of contention included Israel’s unwillingness to recognize conversions performed in the country which do not meet criteria under Torah law, identification cards (Teudot Zehut) that differentiate between Jews and non-Jews, and the authority over marriages and burials exercised by the Chief Rabbinate, which is Orthodox."
WTF - Since when do Shrillary and the State Dept. get to determine Jewish law on conversion? What incredible chutzpa!

[Ashan]

Brendan - You spout ridiculous and ignorant lies. Non-Jewish Israelis fully participate in every walk of Israeli life - as members of the Knesset, as professors and students, as property and business owners, as media people, as professionals - lawyers, doctors, etc. They also vote. There is no apartheid in Israel at all. Period.

Sean, you stated that obama is possessed by a demon. You don't know how right you are. Does anyone remember the movie 'THE OMEN' Well, look no further, obama is that man, the man of sin, the anti-christ. How could a man, a coloured man at that rise to the highest political office in the world from total obscurity? How? Can some one tell me, any one who has any intellectual or spiritual understanding and reasoning? He got the job because we are at the end, the very end of time. Yes, remember the year 2012, we are minutes away from the tribulation and then the judgment. Every evil word and deed spoken and done by Hillary and Obama bring the world closer to its end. Many people will not agree with me, so what, the devil wants to keep this as quiet as possible. God have mercy on the enemies of Israel for the wrath of God will be their portion.

I am not cynical because I know G-d and I know what is coming to me and the World. I just also have FAITH to trust Him. As a Jew, I don't hope to be "raptured" to escape so I try to make sure my heshbon (account) is on the plus side and not carrying a negative balance. It just seems that some people put there hope in horses and chariots instead of the Arm of the L-rd and for them, tough talk is the only thing that sometimes gets thru.

[mk750]

We have Druze CITIZENS and ARAB CITIZENS who are both Muslim and Christian and even BEDOUIN citizens who can and do serve in the IDF and even the Knesset. You are so wrong Brendan on your facts but worse, you come from a wrong and bigoted premise. Would any of the 22 ARAB states let me even enter them, let alone live, work and become a member of their citizenry? I think not. My Israeli passport would be kind of a clue that I'm an "undesirable" to them. Give it a rest and go get some "edjamacation," Brendan.
Israel was conceived to be a JEWISH country and actually we have no business trying to be a democracy. That is a Greek/pagan idea.

[mk750]

And actually Ashan that statement is factually wrong. Conversions do NOT need to be performed here but to be recognized, they must be performed by an Orthodox rabbi and a recognized Rabbinical Court. As for marriages, births and burials, not too many Arabs get married in Orthodox Jewish ceremonies nor are they required to go to Jordan or Egypt for the festivities. As we pass thru prosperous Arab towns in the Galilee we see many gorgeous wedding halls where the rites are performed in accordance with Moslem law. For Christian Arabs, churches abound. The clergy of these religions are sanctioned by the state to perform marriages and the unions are duly recorded. A Teudat Zehut is NOT proof of Judaism and I believe they no longer put religion on them. For Jews, "destination" weddings elsewhere are actually recognized as being binding as are the non-Jewish rites of immigrants from everywhere, not just the former USSR.
The reason conversions must be Orthodox is because there have been a large number of cases where Christian missionaries claimed to be of Jewish ancestry and converted. No one thought to ask them the simple question of denying Jesus, which no real Christian will do, so the got it, got full citizenship benefits and proceded to preach Christianity and evangelize Jews and non-Jews alike. The problem wasn't the proselytizing because it IS legal with certain limitations. The problem was they lied about converting.

[Emmanuel]

You're basing your outrage on an incorrect report from Arutz Sheva. They mistakenly reported on the 2009 report (released in October 2009) as if it was the one released two days ago. The newest report has removed Israel from the "most concerning violators" category.

It is a bit odd to be outraged about a serious error in judgment from a year ago that has already been corrected.

[Doda McCheesle]

Hillary's new son-in-law is obviously a JINO, who cares nothing (and most likely knows nothing) about Judaism... otherwise, why did he marry a non-Jewish woman?

[Doda McCheesle]

The 2010 report isn't all that swell... it drones on and on about Israeli and Jewish "violations", repeating the same instances over and over, and of course, glosses over any non-Jewish/anti-semitic/arab violations of human rights and freedom of religion, i.e., the report states:

"Hamas efforts to bolster the conservative Islamic nature of Gaza disturbed some Gazan Christians, and they raised concerns that Hamas failed to defend their rights as religious minorities."

"Disturbed" some Gazan Christians. Yeah, I guess you can call beatings, arson, and murder "disturbances".

Read it and decide for yourself... http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/irf/2010/148825.htm

Of course, the inaccurate title alone should be an indication of which way the report will lean: "Israel and the Occupied Territories". By definition of the UN's original documents, there are "disputed" territories, not "occupied" territories. And what exactly is "occupied" about territories under control of their own "elected" government, whose populace essentially does what it wants within those areas, irregardless of Israeli law?

[Ron Morgen]

Jews world wide are allowed to aliyah, and become israeli citizens - But if they have recieved Jesus as their Messiah, they are rejected, go figure.

"What does she know that we don't know?"

Perhaps that there won't be any more elections.

[Ron Morgen]

"Israel was conceived to be a JEWISH country and actually we have no business trying to be a democracy. That is a Greek/pagan idea."

That's right, democracy is being led by men, but Israel was conceived to be led by Yahweh. Only when they departed from that, were they thrust out of the land. And now that they have been brought back to the land as promised in his word, they will also be brought back into a right relationship with their God and prosper.

[When*Pigs8Fly]

Well done and true too. Thanks

[Dave in Colorado]

Israel violates religious rights? Interesting but,of course, Saudi Arabia embraces all religions equally. Somehow I missed any reference to Saudi Arabia. I wonder if the idiots who came up with this decision have ever gone to Saudi Arabia and attempted to start a church there. I am sure Saudi Arabia would welcome construction of Catholic Churches in Mecca or Mormon Temples in Medina.

There seems to be no mention of the severe restrictions Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries put on any religion except Islam. Israel is the only country in that area where there is religious freedom. I wonder when Obama, who bows to the Saudi King, will protest against the lack of religious freedom in that country? Don't hold your breath.

[Richard 2]

Given the damage that Obama has done to the US Hitler could run against him and stand a chance, any conservative like Sarah will win.

I had a dream after his election and I supported him, I saw an ancient statue and I heard a voice like an angel the statue was Obama and it stated the anti christ I told this to my roommate who had a friend who was african and loved Obama and she had the same dream almost or maybe the same night. I fear he is the anti christ and that is scary!
