Charlotte, N.C. – Word on the streets is the Democrats are having a party down in North Carolina. The big problem is that someone forgot to invite the Israelis and God. Both terms were blatantly left out of the Democratic Party’s official platform this year, but, according to the MSNBC.com, President Barack Obama personally intervened and now the Platform includes reference to both.
On the issue of Israel, Republicans have made no secret that they are going to use Israel as a wedge issue against the President in this election cycle. For better or worse, the President is seen throughout the world, but especially in the US, as being anti-Israel. Some high profile snubs of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu coupled with being caught on an open microphone talking about the Israeli Prime minister doesn’t help matters much.
President Obama needs all his traditional supporters to show up this election cycle if he has any prayer of defeating Republican Mitt Romney. Obama maintained more than 80 percent of Jewish support in the last election and he needs that number to hold steady somewhat. Being seen as snubbing Israel by leaving them out of the platform is not the headache he needs right now as he approached his larger donors for help keeping up with Romney’s immense war chest.
Some on the Left are not happy with the President’s intervention and the addition of Jerusalem and God inserted back into the Platform. MSNBC’s Chris Hayes said:
“If you read this platform, there is not a single condition put on Israel … there’s conditions put on the Palestinians … there’s nothing said about the settlements. If the American government policy is actually that Jerusalem is the capital, and the American government wants to move the embassy to Jerusalem, there’s been plenty of opportunities for both Republicans and Democrats to do it, and they have not done it, because it’s a terrible idea from the perspective of actually getting a lasting peace.”
He also commented on the fact that the platform had many references to God by using the term “faith” repeatedly. Some people had criticism of President Obama, arguing that he caved to religious extremists by changing what they thought was a more than adequate mention of God.
actually there was a near riot on the floor over this at the DNC. it took 3 voice votes to get Israel added back into the platform, and the floor erupted in boos. The new DNC is NO FRIEND OF Israel; They have no respect for the fact that Jews have held Jerusalem as their capital and in our prayers for 1900 years of exile from our homeland. Obama only pushed to add this back in the platform because he needs the money from rich Jews who he is more than willing to use to get re-elected. then he will betray them. This is DISGUSTING.
A few facts for you about Jerusalem.
Jerusalem was the capital of Israel 1900 years before the birth of Muhammad.
Jews have been the majority in Jerusalem every year since the first official census was taken in 1853, and historians have found from the research that they were in the majority there for many decades before the first census.
Jews have maintained a constant population in Israel, despite the depredations of Roman and Muslim conquest, for 3500 years.
Jerusalem is mentioned in the Bible 767 times; JERUSALEM IS NOT MENTIONED ONCE IN THE QUR'AN.

While under Israel rule, Jerusalem has been open to every religion on earth. The Palestinians have waged an incessant campaign to claim Jews have no history in the Middle East including the VILE statement that the Jewish temples never existed. The Palestinians have completely re-written 3500 years of archeology, history, and biblical research to make the disgusting racist claim that Jews are all descended from the Khazar of Russia, and Muslims have been the only inhabitants of Israel for over 10,000 years; thereby pre-dating the existence of Islam in this fairy tale by over 8600 years. There have been dozens of DNA studies done by world renowned organizations, researchers and hospitals that have conclusively proven that all Jews, from all parts of this planet share common DNA found exclusively in the Middle East, and therefore, Jews are part of the original population of the Biblical world. THE ATTEMPT TO PORTRAY JEWS ARE EUROPEAN INVADERS DENIES EVERYTHING THAT IS CENTRAL TO THE ESSENCE OF BEING A JEW, AND IS PART OF THE VILEST TYPE OF JEW HATE EVEN KNOWN ON THIS EARTH.
It is time that someone in our government had the guts to tell the truth about the Arab- Israeli conflict. Her is the truth from the PLO's own charter:
1. Jews are the enemy of Allah. 2. Islam is fighting a continuous religious war against the Jews. 3. The killing of Jews is a religious obligation. 4. Palestinians are the vanguard in this war against the Jews, and all Islamic nations are obligated to assist in this war.
Finally let us remember the words of Mohammed himself who said, “The Day of Resurrection will not arrive until the Muslims make war against the Jews and kill them, and until a Jew is hiding behind a rock and tree, and the rock and tree will say: ‘Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him!’.
