Don’t Believe Obama Anymore!

Obama's promises to the Palestinians are in vain, exactly as wise people expected. As Netanyahu's speech unveiled his hidden faces, pressure came down on the U.S. administration to approve the Israel’s policy itself. It appeared that the promised Palestinian state is nothing but a deformed face, and perhaps the status quo of the Palestinians under the occupation is much better.

A state should consist of land, people and sovereignty, while the promised Palestinian state is nothing but a fraction of their land that has been occupied since 1967, installing a part of the Palestinian people who lack autonomy. This state is not allowed to form an army or even hold a piece of weaponry. Jerusalem, as said by Netanyahu, is the eternal capital of Israel and is not a subject for debate.

Obama also did not talk about Jerusalem belonging to the Palestinians, but he spoke of a Jerusalem that was open to all religions and did not raise a single word of objection to the Jewish settlements in Jerusalem. Obama's words were similar to those of previous U.S. administrations like freezing settlements in the West Bank. On the other hand, Netanyahu, in response to Obama's speech, seemed conclusive: he didn't want to stop what he called the “natural growth” of settlements in the West Bank, as the number of settlers is now more than 300,000, and he had only promised to review attempts to build new settlements. It seems a mere manipulation of words as settlement expansion means establishing new settlements. In the pursuit of swallowing Jerusalem and expanding settlements, Netanyahu has closed the door to talking about the Palestinian refugees' right to return, which means the majority of the Palestinian people.

Even before Netanyahu, Obama has himself revoked the refugees' right to return, while Netanyahu insisted on having the Arabs and Palestinians sincerely recognize Israel as a Jewish state, which is consistent with some seemingly incidental words in Obama's speech addressed to the Islamic world from the University of Cairo where he spoke of what he called “the Israeli home for the Jewish people.” Obama appeared to outline his vision in a way that made Netanyahu a subject of praise. However, when the dust is cleaned away, the mental disorder of those who felt optimistic about Obama regarding the Palestinian misery is revealed. Truth is, Obama is a brown charismatic man and eloquent orator as is Netanyahu in front of the Israeli public as his blatantly racist speech won the consent of two-thirds of Israelis in opinion polls, while the optimists of Arabs and the Palestinians haven't noticed the racist speech of Obama as he again went on and on about the Holocaust.

He deliberately repeated the Zionist tale of the six million Jews who were victims of the Holocaust, while his words regarding the Palestinian tragedy in his famous speech at the university seemed like a traffic accident or an unsolvable problem for which no one is responsible or an impact of the Jewish project to build an Israeli homeland! Assuredly, Obama knows the truth and is educated enough, unlike his stupid trivial predecessor. However, he acted stupid and completely ignored the whole thing. He knows, as any junior scholar does, the so-called Holocaust is unbelievable to the Muslim world, large or small. Whether the victims were six million or six thousand people, the killer is the racism of the Western civilization to which he belongs, as Jews and others nationalities were burned. It has nothing to do with the Arabs or the Palestinians in particular. Moreover, Zionism is similar to Nazism; both are products of an aggressive brutal Western civilization. Zionism, supported by British and Americans, has been burning the existence of the Palestinians, erasing them through massacres and expulsion from their land.

All these are facts and not points of view if we borrowed them from Obama's famous speech. Truth is, the smallest recognition of Palestine means no recognition or legitimacy to the existence of Israel itself, nor any command from Obama to the Israelis to recognize the Arabs, making the security of the aggressor like a sacred cow and denying the Palestinians right to resist, which is certainly legitimate as stated in the prophets' messages and the natural law. The right of the Palestinians to perform peaceful or violent resistance needs no recognition from Obama or others. Obama's speech shows his denial and his ugly racism, which reached its peak when he followed his speech to the Islamic world by a visit to a Jewish detention Nazi camp in Germany while giving no recognition of Gaza. It seems he preferred to remember the so-called Holocaust committed by the West in their homes while turning his back on the newer Holocaust perpetrated on the Palestinians homeland. He is not Jimmy Carter, who visited Gaza and whose eyes overflowed with tears when he saw the death there. He said that the destruction of Gaza was committed by American aircrafts and bombs and we, Americans and Europeans, treat Palestinians as animals not human beings!

Undoubtedly, Obama appears to be kind of a hypocrite regarding Israel, displaying a keen pragmatism to stay in office. He appeared to be a witty salesman, who dealt with the Arabs and Muslims as a bunch of primitive simple-minded people; he sold them onto American policy with verses from Koran and thought that the eloquence of a public relations speech to be sufficient. He repeated Napoleon's naïveté when he started his military campaign to the East more than two centuries ago. He said to the Egyptians: “I'm Muslim just like you, monotheistic and I love Prophet Muhammad. Peace be upon him.” With his African color, Obama seemed to preach religious tolerance among nations and also seemed to put corrupted American goods in a bag of bright glossy nylon engraved with verses from the Koran. In the first part of his polished speech, he seemed to end the verses of Koran saying: "The religion before Allah is Islam (submission to His Will)," while in the second part he acted like an American cowboy who disbelieves the Koran and Bible. On the Palestinian issue especially, he almost said that Israel was the religion of America and those who were attending and listening to his speech applauded him when he talked about the two-state solution as if they were from another planet. Truth is, no one talked about the two-state solution as much as Bush did, which means nothing in the reign of the stupid Bush or in the reign of the smart Obama. The words don't seem what they appear: a state for the Palestinians and one for the Israelis. Rather, they would be two states governed by Israel: one where more than an estimated 80 % of the historical land of Palestine and a protectorate allocated to the Palestinians to be under the sovereignty of Israel like a zoo, which was vague in Obama's speech and apparent in Netanyahu's. Obama seemed keen to disarm the Palestinians, and of course did not request any restriction on the Israeli armaments or perhaps he dares not or the price will be removing him from the office or sending him to his death.
May be there is no added value in Obama's speech regarding the Palestinians nor in Netanyahu’s. Truth is, valuable words are gone and only the facts remain. America and Israel are in the midst of strategic integration and negotiation with Israel is considered a mental disorder. Armed resistance is the only and best negotiation with the Americans and the Israelis; as America doesn't second a right until its fingers bleed, and Israel doesn't withdraw from the land until its army is subdued at the hands of the heroic resistance - the sole and legitimate representative of the Arab nation - on the Iraqi, Lebanese and Palestinian fronts.
