Obama's speech: What young Israelis not only needed but wanted to hear
The U.S. president's speech in Jerusalem redefines what it means to be a centrist in Israel. We deserve a leader like him.

For Barack Obama to come to Jerusalem, and speak to Israeli students
and talk persuasively of the possibility of a secure and peaceful
future, for him to do that and garner a roaring ovation of approval, he
would have to have given one hell of a speech.
He did.
This
was the speech that these young Israelis not only needed but wanted to
hear. A speech that radically redefined centrism in Israel, bringing it
down to extraordinary common denominators in directions Israelis have
learned to think of as diametrically opposed.
He
spoke of security and peace as inextricably and necessarily linked, not
a narrow choice between options, but a conscious choice for both.
They roared.
This was not the student crowd that Obama
is used to. These students are Israelis. This is a crowd that is
world-weary, hair-trigger volatile. They have come by it honestly. In
comparison to their American counterparts, they are, by and large, older
by several years – some would say, several lifetimes. They enter
college after years in the military, often followed by the escape-valve
rehab of a marathon trek to remote continents.
They roared approval for Obama's view of security, which was hard-edged
and unapologetic, and they roared approval for his vision of a two-state
solution that allows Palestinians to enjoy the freedoms and
self-determination Israelis know.
Not soon. Perhaps not in many years. But this is one way that change
happens. An event like this, inspiration like this, does not in the end
go to waste. It gives new strength to the world-weary and the habitually
trashed. It changes momentum. It creates momentum. It does good. It
makes way for better.
Not
for nothing did Barack Obama cite Martin Luther King's address on the
eve of his assassination. The image of the Promised Land as a place
Moses will not be able to reach, but one which his work will allow his
people to eventually enter, clearly resonates with a president beginning
already to see the end of his time in office.
This is not the same country after this speech.
Four
years from now, when he hands back the White House, Barack Obama should
consider a change of direction, even a change of venue.
Let him run here. It's about time we knew again what a real leader was like.This will not be the same country after this speech.
Obama Winds Down Israel, West Bank Visit
Voice of America - 4 hours ago
U.S. President Barack Obama waves to media as he walks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. On Thursday in a speech to university students in Jerusalem, Obama assured his audience of young Israelis that they are "not alone" in facing threats to Israel's security. He added that peace with the Palestinians is the "only path to true security."
Obama said Israeli leaders must recognize that "continued settlement activity" on land the Palestinians claim for a state is "counterproductive." Obama also said he believes Israel has a genuine peace partner in Palestinian President Abbas.
President Obama met Abbas in Ramallah earlier Thursday and called on Israelis and Palestinians to begin peace talks on core issues of their conflict without waiting for those disputes to be resolved in advanceat the Muqata Presidential Compound in the West Bank town of Ramallah,

The Real Truth about the Modern-day Jewish Heritage
What is their true Origin?
Are They of Abraham Seed?
Are They Semitic?
THE KHAZAR EMPIRE AND ITS HERITAGE
The Thirteenth Tribe – The Real Jewish Heritage
THE KHAZAR EMPIRE AND ITS HERITAGEArthur Koestler
…but
that does not alter the fact that the large majority of surviving Jews
in the world is of Eastern European — and thus perhaps mainly of Khazar —
origin. If so, this would mean that their ancestors came not from the
Jordan but from the Volga, not from Canaan but from the Caucasus, once
believed to be the cradle of the Aryan race; and that genetically they
are more closely related to the Hun, Uigur “
This
book traces the history of the ancient Khazar Empire, a major but
almost forgotten power in Eastern Europe, which in the Dark Ages became
converted to Judaism. Khazaria was finally wiped out by the forces of
Genghis Khan, but evidence indicates that the Khazars themselves
migrated to Poland and formed the cradle of Western Jewry…
The
Khazars’ sway extended from the Black Sea to the Caspian, from the
Caucasus to the Volga, and they were instrumental in stopping the Muslim
onslaught against Byzantium, the eastern jaw of the gigantic pincer
movement that in the West swept across northern Africa and into Spain.
In
the second part of this book, “The Heritage,” Mr. Koestler speculates
about the ultimate faith of the Khazars and their impact on the racial
composition and social heritage of modern Jewry. He produces a large
body of meticulously detailed research in support of a theory that
sounds all the more convincing for the restraint with which it is
advanced. Yet should this theory be confirmed, the term “anti-Semitism”
would become void of meaning, since, as Mr. Koestler writes, it is based
“on a misapprehension shared by both the killers and their victims. The
story of the Khazar Empire, as it slowly emerges from the past, begins
to look like the most cruel hoax which history has ever perpetrated.”

pretext for the New Khazaria or Israel hoax.The
story of the Khazar Empire, as it slowly emerges from the past, begins

Old Khazaria existed from about 500 A.D. to about 1000 A.D.
Old Khazaria adopted the religion of Talmudic Judaism about 740 A.D.
Khazaria was reborn on May 14, 1948.
The most cruel hoax which man has ever perpetrated.
As
long as Apostate Israel (New Khazaria) exist…there will never be any
peace in the Middle East. Modern-day Jewry is of Eastern European/Aryan
descent and thus they are not Semitic. Let the truth be told everywhere.
Why should American Soldiers die to protect a Hoax?
