Rosh Hashanah greetings from President Obama http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/rosh-hashanah-greetings-from-president-obama/ President Obama provides New Year’s wishes via video message to the Jewish people. en-us efingerhut@jta.org Copyright 2009 2009-09-18T;01:58:00-05:00 Comment by Michael mskn23un@yahoo.com Yeah, why should lecture Muslims on Jewish New Year, rezasantorini? Was one interested much in the US President’s Ramadan greeting? “Thank you, The Obamas, for wishes-Shana Tova!” is surely the most appropriate response to these sincere official greetings.

He told Abbas to “reduce” the hatred of Israel, mind you, he did not say stop! Afterwards Abbas said he will wait until Bibi is thrown out from office, and refuses to talk to Bibi. Overall Bibi has become more popular in Israel. So the old Clintonian approach of snubbing Bibi has not worked. Remember how Clinton pampered Arafat, and would not have lunch with Bibi? So Obama is wrong here. Shana Tova to all. Chayim. Shana Tova to all.

Preaching to Jews not to harden our hearts seems to to miss the point that without standing up to our enemies (means hardening our hearts0 no beating Jjewish hearts would be left. Much more would be achieved if, instead of telling Muslims what a fine lot they are and how “we share our values with them,” Obama would tell them how hard their hearts are in their treatment of their own people and how this cruelty spills over to the way Islamic societies face the world. The Cairo speech WAS a beginning (with reality lapses and historical errors), but only a follow-up as a reminder of the “root causes” - Arab intollerance and unmanaged fury - would do wonders to restore reality in an area wrapped in myth. Complete acceptance by Arabs of Israel as a legitimate state in the Middle East would bring the conflict to aan end; dancing around the problem and asking Jews to “soften their hearts” towards their mortal enemies is just a tap dance.
