Barack Hussein Obama the muslim wants to take away Israel's nukes! Will Israel let herself be pressured? I sure hope not.... wouldn't count on it, though.

Obama wants to take Israel's nukes, according to reports

US President Barack Obama is working closely with Russia and Egypt on an effort to rid Israel of its supposed nuclear weapons arsenal, according to several mainstream media reports this week.
Most prominently, the Wall Street Journal reported that Obama is keen to adopt an Egyptian proposal to declare the Middle East a nuclear-free zone. A follow-up regional conference would put heavy pressure on all nations to comply.
Being the only country in the Middle East believed to possess nuclear weapons, Israel would be the clear target of such a move. Washington is suggesting that by pressuring Israel to give up its nukes, it has a much better chance to convince Iran to halt its defiant nuclear program.
That angle has become a major topic of discussion at the current Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference taking place at UN headquarters in New York. Arab and Muslim nations have enthusiastically joined and pushed the discussion on Israel's nuclear program in an effort to divert attention from Iran.
Former US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton warned that Obama was playing right into the Muslims' hands, and threatening Israel's long-term security.
"The president is not happy with Israel's nuclear capabilities. I think he would be delighted if Israel gave up its nuclear weapons," Bolton told Israel's Army Radio. "The only unknown answer at this point is exactly how much pressure he would exert on Israel to do just that. Part of that pressure is being exerted right now by even considering the possibility of a conference on a nuclear-weapons-free Middle East."
Israel has never confirmed nor denied that it has nuclear weapons, though most believe the Jewish state to be in possession of at least a couple hundred warheads. Those weapons, if they exist, are the primary deterrent against yet another region-wide Arab attempt to overrun and destroy Israel. Prior to Israel's nuclear program, its Arab neighbors launched three full-scale wars aimed at annihilating the Jewish state.

MADRID PEACE CONFERENCE ALL-OVER-AGAIN April 17, 2002 by Emanuel A. Winston, Middle East Analyst & Commentator

Once again the same old enemies of Israel have gathered - now under the Obama banner to water the seeds planted that are intended for Israel’s destruction.

With your patience I will offer the same plan tried by James Baker III and what came to be known as Baker’s Jew Boys: Dennis Ross, Aaron David Miller and Daniel Kurtzer in 1991 during the infamous Madrid International Conference.

Enclosed within is a brief article I wrote during the Madrid Conference predicting that an Arab Muslim country would be put up to proposing that the entire Middle East region should be made into a "Nuclear-Free Zone". Israel was the target.

Strange, isn’t it, that plotters of the old "Madrid Trap" are Obama’s counselors of today?!

MADRID PEACE CONFERENCE ALL OVER AGAIN

by Emanuel A. Winston, a Middle East analyst & commentator

Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir was implored not to go to the Madrid Conference of 1991. As it turned out, this was the beginning of the Oslo Process. Everyone knew - both enemies and friends - that it was one big trap. Although Baker’s Boys (the Jewish aides to James Baker) Dennis Ross, Daniel Kurtzer, Aaron Miller denied that they, as State Department apparachiks, were deeply involved, nevertheless, they bounced from room to room, cutting deals, making promises that would not ever be kept.

I recall penning an article forecasting that Egypt would be recruited by the U.S. State Department to demand that Israel stand down her nuclear deterrent. As night follows day, near the end of the Madrid Conference, Egypt’s representative recommended a "nuclear free zone" which would leave Israel to face the overwhelmingly greater conventional forces of Egypt , Syria, Iran, Iraq, among others, with only conventional arms and without her nuclear deterrent.

This was not the first time that a play had been made for international intervention. Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres roamed the world, meeting with heads of states to implore them to put pressure on Israel through an "International Peace Conference". In 1988, then Foreign Minister Peres, contrary to Israeli cabinet policy, tried to initiate an International Peace Conference. His then Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir called Peres’ effort "insane", "madness". The trick was always to get Israel into the arena with not one bull but dozens of bulls. Three years later, October 31 to November 2, 1991, Prime Minister Shamir was trapped into the Madrid Conference (which was the threshold of Oslo) through stealth, trickery and ever present treachery.

Now, once again, there is a major movement afoot to convene an "International Peace Conference". That is an oxymoron if there ever was one.

This is the theatrical set and the script:

First, they get a Prime Minister who believes (as all Israelis believe) that he can overcome anything. That is how they trapped Shamir.

The players today will be the U.S. State Department , the U.N. representatives, the E.U. representatives, the Arab nations, Palestinian representatives and, guess who will be the main attraction as the bull to be teased, prodded, pierced and, eventually, slaughtered?

Of course it will all be done with pressured dignity. The Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah’s phony plan, which calls for Israel’s withdrawal to the armistice borders of 1948-49 (the Auschwitz borders which invited the Arabs to create the 1967 Six Days’ War) will be the cutting edge of the groups’ persuasion. The word "normalization" appeared briefly in the Tom Friedman fantasy article that made it look like Abdullah said the words Friedman put in his mouth, but even that was too much for the Saudis and "normalization" was withdrawn.

In this next peace adventure, Israel will merely have to provide Arafat’s Palestinian terrorists with a solid State of their own where they can tool up again for weapons and no longer need to smuggle in weapons of war from an accommodating Egypt, Iran or Syria. Now, they will be able to import serious tonnage of advanced weaponry - just like all the other ‘States’ in the Arab Middle East.

Israel will be required to abandon the high ground along with the Jordan Valley, leaving open the five passes into the Jordan Valley, through which Syria and Iraq can advance their troops - cutting Israel into pieces to be devoured.

Of course, none of this will happen, because we will have a piece of paper, guaranteeing our existence, counter-stamped by the U.S. State Department and the American President. Of course, the nations present, except for Israel, will know that the U.S. State Department’s stamp of approval is bogus, irrelevant and worth less than the paper it is stamped upon - just like all the prior co-signatures on agreements with Yassir Arafat. He was supported, despite his every broken agreement - even with Arab states.

Israel will be expected to give up her water, both from the aquifers under the Judean and Samarian hills, as well as the water that flows from the Golan Heights and nourished Israel’s only fresh water resource, Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee). Didn’t you know that Syria was to be bribed with the Golan which is Israel’s primary water source, as well as the high ground military position? Israel will be asked (ordered by the world) to create a capital for a non-existent people to assuage their vaunted feelings of humiliation for losing to Israel in so many wars.

When I say: "non-existent", of course, the people exist, but there was never an Arab Palestinian entity. The Arabs entered British Mandate Palestine freely (without permits - which were needed by Jews) from all the surrounding Arab countries as the Jews returned to make the desert bloom, creating jobs and good health conditions. The only "Palestinians" were the Jews under the British Mandate from 1917 to 1948 - until Israel became a State. (1)

Israel will be forced to pull back to the 1948-49 Armistice lines, giving up her defensive critical mass. For these gestures, Israel is supposed to receive "recognition" by the Arab nations. Who needs their recognition anyway? Israel exists today as a viable, thriving nation. Of course, Abdullah removed the word: "normalization" from ‘his’ peace plan, which was actually created by Tom Friedman as a trial balloon.

This would be something like the Camp David Peace Accords with Egypt where then Prime Minister Menachem Begin was euchred into signing away the Sinai Desert for "peace" and "normalization" with Egypt. This became known as the "Cold Peace" because it was all just the absence of war. That is something. No Israeli soldier has been killed on the Egyptian border. But, it was not normalization, which meant visits to each other’s countries, business ventures and the cessation of vile anti-Semitic articles in Al Ahram, Egypt’s state-controlled newspaper. Well, folks, none of this happened, except for the absence of war (so far). "Normalization" was merely a word for ‘dopes’ to buy into.

Once there is a formalized International Conference with Israel in the docks to be pilloried, then anything she refuses will cause the ‘honored’ assembly to vote sanctions against her. This will mean embargoes of commerce, medical and academic research, more assistance to terrorist groups and nations. In a way, this has already begun with those so-called civilized nations like Germany, France and England, who have been persecuting Jews for centuries.

Germany started by embargoing tanks parts that were purchased with irrevocable contracts. France and England followed suit. They were ‘merely’ stopping the shipment of any military equipment - or so they said.

I am reminded of the same concept as follows:

In 1948, the U.N. had just voted to allow the State Of Israel to be partitioned into existence, along with a State for the Arabs. Immediately, President Harry Truman, through his State Department, along with France and England, issued a dictum which embargoed arms to the nascent Israel. These ‘noble characters’ were not going to encourage fighting by shipping in war materiél.

The invading armies of the seven surrounding Arab countries were well-armed by the West who didn’t stop their shipments to Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Iraq. It was anticipated that Israel would be over-run by these six Arab nations, already armed with tanks, artillery, planes and other modern weapons of the times.

Yes, it was expected (planned?) that the fledgling Jewish nation was to disappear in a swift onslaught by the Arabs and, of course, no one would expect the U.N. or the Free World to mobilize in such a short time to save the Jews. No one would blame them, just as no one blamed them as they all stood by and allowed Hitler’s Nazis to kill 6 million Jews.

This next "Peace Conference" will have the look of the Inquisition minus their hoods. Israel beat off the terrorists of today but she will be assaulted from within and without. The ‘within’ will see Shimon Peres, Yossi Beilin, the Oslo Gang, the Peace Now/Gush Shalom cabal and the other aberrant Left lined up solidly with those who are demanding Israel’s extinction. They will claim they are only working for peace but, the ‘Erev Rav’ were never on the side ethical Jews.

OBAMA REAFFIRMS US SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL’S NUCLEAR AMBIGUITY  DEBKAfile Exclusive Report May 6, 2010, 5:26 PM (GMT+02:00)
Tags: Netanyahu Nuclear-free Mid East Obama  Israel's nuclear center at Dimona

US president Barack Obama reaffirmed his administration's commitment to supporting Israel's policy of nuclear ambiguity, whereby its possession of nuclear weapons is neither confirmed nor denied. debkafile's Washington sources report that President Obama repeated this pledge in a 20-minute telephone call to Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu Monday, May 3, almost a year after he gave it the first time during Netanyahu's visit to the White House on May 18, 2009.

High-ranking American sources told debkafile that Obama needed to reassure Israel his commitment on this score was solid and unchanged for four reasons:

1. Because of administration steps on the Middle East taken this week prior to and during the UN conference on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Wednesday, May 5, the five Security Council permanent members vowed to work together towards a nuclear-free Middle East. Two days earlier, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told the conference that the United States "is prepared to support practical measures towards the objective of a Middle East free of weapons of mass destruction."

2. There was talk in the corridors of the conference, some published by Egyptian sources, that the US and Egypt were formulating a joint Middle East nuclear policy for bringing about the dismantling of Israel's nuclear stockpiles.

3. It became clear to the White House that if Netanyahu got the notion that President Obama was retreating from his nuclear commitment to Israel, he could forget about progress in the Middle East proximity talks which his special envoy George Mitchell is working hard to jump-start this week.

4. And if that commitment were to be withdrawn, the entire Middle East would conclude that the Obama administration had also retreated from its "unshakable" pledge to support Israel's security.

A few hours after the Obama-Netanyahu conversation, former US ambassador to the UN, John Bolton said Tuesday that American-Egyptian cooperation on the Middle East nuclear issue was aimed squarely at Israel. His exact words were: "There is only one country that resolution is targeted at and that is Israel."

Therefore, the Israeli prime minister had needed to hear from the president in person that his year-old pledge was still valid and that the joint American-Egyptian effort for nuclear-free Middle East had a single target, Iran and its nuclear program.

According to Debkafile's sources, that effort is led by Gary Seymour, WMD coordinator at the National Security Council, and Nabil Fahmy, for many years the Egyptian Ambassador to the United States. He is currently the dean of public administration at the American University in Cairo and head of the Center for Studies on Nonproliferation in the Middle East.

Our Middle East sources confirmed that Fahmy is the live wire of Egyptian policy in these areas.

Obama further promised Netanyahu that any US deal with Egypt or any other country on the nuclear issue would stipulate that Israel would not be called on to alter its nuclear stance until such time as a comprehensive Middle East peace is attained between Israel and its neighbors and all countries of the region dispose of their conventional and WMD arsenals.

Our sources in Jerusalem say that, even though Prime Minister Netanyahu welcomed President Obama's assurances and thanked him, there is still great unease in Israel's ruling circles over the very fact that the administration is actually discussing Israel's nuclear issues with Egypt.
