U.N: Israel’s attack on US flagged (Gaza flotilla) ship was illegal under international law. Israel therefore committed an act of war against the United States, and Obama’s comment below amounts to betrayal of the American people and high treason.
“After 60 years in the community of nations, Israel’s existence must not be a subject for debate. It should be clear to all that efforts to chip away at Israel’s legitimacy will only be met by the unshakeable opposition of the United States.” – President of the United States, Barak Obama, at the United Nations.
"I am angry at this statement because the President of the UNITED STATES made this statement at the United Nations on the very day that same United Nations issued a report declaring Israel's attack on the aid flotilla last May a brutal violation of international law.
"That attack included an attack on a US-flagged ship and the capture of American citizens.
"One citizen, born in New York and carrying a US passport, was murdered by the Israelis while lying helpless on the deck of a captured ship.
"The UN report states quite clearly that the Israelis "willfully" executed their victims.
"Given that Israel's attack on the US flagged ship is illegal under international law, then Israel committed an act of war against the United States, and Obama's comment above amounts to betrayal of the American people and treason of the highest order!" – Mike Rivero.

Eliyahu advocates carpet bombing Gaza
By MATTHEW WAGNER
All civilians living in Gaza are collectively guilty for Kassam attacks on Sderot, former Sephardi chief rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu has written in a letter to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
Former Sephardi chief Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu.
Eliyahu ruled that there was absolutely no moral prohibition against the indiscriminate killing of civilians during a potential massive military offensive on Gaza aimed at stopping the rocket launchings.
The letter, published in Olam Katan [Small World], a weekly pamphlet to be distributed in synagogues nationwide this Friday, cited the biblical story of the Shechem massacre (Genesis 34) and Maimonides’ commentary (Laws of Kings 9, 14) on the story as proof texts for his legal decision.
According to Jewish WAR ETHICS, wrote Eliyahu, an entire city holds collective responsibility for the immoral behavior of individuals. In Gaza, the entire populace is responsible because they do nothing to stop the firing of Kassam rockets.
(Ed. note: So by his own standards collective punishment of Jews for CRUCIFYING Christ is justified)
The former chief rabbi also said it was forbidden to risk the lives of Jews in Sderot or the lives of IDF soldiers for fear of injuring or killing Palestinian noncombatants living in Gaza.
Eliyahu could not be reached for an interview. However, Eliyahu’s son, Shmuel Eliyahu, who is chief rabbi of Safed, said his father opposed a ground troop incursion into Gaza that would endanger IDF soldiers. Rather, he advocated carpet bombing the general area from which the Kassams were launched, regardless of the price in Palestinian life.
“If they don’t stop after we kill 100, then we must kill a thousand,” said Shmuel Eliyahu. “And if they do not stop after 1,000 then we must kill 10,000. If they still don’t stop we must kill 100,000, even a million. Whatever it takes to make them stop.”
(How about SIX MILLION? He JUSTIFIES the Nazi conduct, Israel owes Germany a 100% REFUND on those reparations).
“We must define our position and lay down basic principles for a settlement. Our demands should be moderate and balanced, and appear to be reasonable. But in fact they must involve such conditions as to ensure that the enemy rejects them. Then we should manoeuvre and allow him to define his own position, and reject a settlement on the basis of a compromise solution. We should then publish his demands as embodying unreasonable extremism.” – General Yehoshafat Harkabi, Ma’ariv, 2 November 1973.
“The state of Israel must invent dangers, and to do this it must adopt the methods of provocation and revenge…. And above all, let us hope for a new war with the Arab countries so that we may finally get rid of our troubles and acquire our space.” — From the diary of Moshe Sharett, Israeli’s first Foreign Minister from 1948-1956, and Prime Minister from 1954-1956.
“We came here to a country that was populated by Arabs and we are building here a Hebrew, a Jewish state; instead of the Arab villages, Jewish villages were established. You even do not know the names of those villages, and I do not blame you because these villages no longer exist. There is not a single Jewish settlement that was not established in the place of a former Arab Village.” – Moshe Dyan, March 19, 1969, speech at the Technion in Haifa, quoted in Ha’aretz, April 4, 1969.
