Israeli Young Men Abhor Barak Obama

I am indebted to Max Blumenthal and Philip Weiss for their professional short documentary of a random nineteen angry, uninhibited Israeli young men. The very brief interviews appeared to take place in the outdoor cafes of Jerusalem the night before President Barack Obama's historic Cairo speech that occurred the following day. I am actually reluctant to think how much more vile hatred would have spewed from these men's sewers if they would have been asked this one question about Obama after our sincere justice seeking President would have given his Cairo speech. It was in that speech that he made his most positive comments about Islam which would have enraged these young Israelis even more. The one question that was asked each participant was,

"What do you think of Barack Obama?"

Perhaps it could have excused these young men some if they had been drunk. But they appeared to be sober. Only the young man who answered "He doesn't understand this country is ours," appeared to think about his answer and refrained from rage, disgust and a racist superiority while he was answering the question. But even this calm young man's more thoughtful answer contained an ominous omen. He revealed absolutely zero recognition that the Palestinian people have any right whatsoever to any of their own land.

The answers were always short and these are direct quotes of most of what each young man (age 19 to 25 I would guess) said. The title of the footage was:

"Feelings of Hate in Jerusalem on Eve of Cairo Speech."
"What do you think of Barack Obama?"

Male 1 – "He's a fuck head."

Male 2 – "He's an asshole who deserves to be shot and he deserves to go!"

Male 3 – "Daniel Netanyaha told him to fuck off. That's how we do it here in Israel."

Male 4 – "Go fuck himself."

Male 5 – "White Power – Fuck off Niggers!"

Male 6 – "He doesn't understand that this country is ours."

Male 7 – (This next person chose his words carefully in order to characterize the U.S. President with fulfilling each of his own personal racist stereotypes.) "I would like to eat some fried chicken and watermelon with him and then smoke a blunt." (Pot).

Male 8 – "He's from a side street corner. He is a Muslim first. He was not born in the U.S. and does not have a U.S. passport. He hates American Jews."

Male 9 – "He's a terrorist probably. He was not born in the U.S."

Male 10 – "I think he's really fucked up! I know where the White House is and I'm going to tea bag you!" (To tea bag a person is a filthy street metaphor. It means for the person to take down his pants, pull back his own scrotum and force the back of his own scrotum into the face of the person whom he hates and intends to demean and humiliate.)

Male 11 – "He visited all those Arab nations. What about Jews? Are we nothing to you?"

Male 12 – "Do you care if we get nuked? He's another nigger from the South." Male 13 – "Do you care if we get driven into the sea?"

Male 14 – "I think Obama's an idiot."

Male 15 – "Fuck Obama. He's an asshole."

Male 16 – "Fuck Obama! Fuck Obama!" Fuck Obama! Fuck Obama! Fuck Obama!"

Male 17 – "My grandmother was in Auschwitz. (Gave grandmother's prision I.D. number). We're not going to take any Nazi bullshit."

Male 18 – "Never again!"

Male 19 – "Bring it on mother-fucker!"

(I hesitated to spell out the f word. But I think that getting a true feel for the extreme hatred and venomous rage would be more difficult if the f word were omitted.)

I already had reached the conclusion three weeks before I saw this present vivid exhibition of the extreme underserved hate toward President Obama, that someone connected with Israel would definitely try to assassinate him. Even with what is the extreme hate, and rage I observed in this tape, it does not leave me any more convinced that a person with connections to Israel will attempt to assassinate the U.S. President. In fact I had already written three papers on the coming attempt to assassinate Barak Obama by Israel while I was in Jordan three weeks before I heard this venomous slander by these Israeli young thugs.

I will now add that I have had many conversations with numberous Arab Muslim and Arab Christian young men. But never no never did I ever witness any Arab young person have the kind of disrespectful rage toward any Jewish person that was exhibited by most of these well dressed young men who must have crawled out of the sewers of Jerusalem. If it were to be one of these drunk with blind rage toward Obama young men, who would be the first to attempt to assassinate him, I would not be surprised.
