"Defeating the Jewish Alinskyites" by Caroline Glick in TownHallJune 12, 2012
Saul Alinsky, the godfather of subversive radical political action, had a very clear strategy for undermining and destroying his enemies: Infiltrate, divide and destroy.
Since his disciple Barack Obama was elected US president in 2008, Alinsky's impact on Obama has received a fair amount of attention.
Less noticed has been the adoption of Alinsky's methods by radical leftist Jews in the US and Israel for the purpose of undermining the American Jewish community on the one hand, and Israel's nationalist camp on the other. This week we saw the impact of both campaigns.

Former Republican Presidential Candidate, Gov. Mike Huckabee, slams Obama's unwillingness to challenge Iran for nuclear weaponizing during his re-election cycle, at the expense of loyal U.S. ally, Israel.

P.A. head, Mahmoud Abbas submitted an application for a sovereign and independent homeland, which he said contains a request for full member nation status in the UN based on the June 4, 1967 borders. He addressed the General Assembly.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu gave his own speech in his response, in which he called on Abbas to drop unilateral moves and return to the negotiating table.
“President Abbas, why don’t you join me?” said Netanyahu. “We have to stop negotiating about the negotiations. Let’s just get on with it. Let’s negotiate peace! Now we’re in the same city. We’re in the same building. So let’s meet here today, in the United Nations!”
Hamas’ Gaza Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said that the PA should not beg for a state, adding that “liberation of Palestinian land” should come first.
He said that “what is happening at the United Nations harms the dignity of our Palestinian people,” particularly when there is no guarantee of the ‘right of return’ (the Arabs’ wish to have millions of so-called ‘Palestinian refugees’ - the descendants of Arabs who fled Israel before the 1948 Arab-Israeli war – to return to Israeli cities).

Land for 'peace' won't work without exchanging all Muslims from Israel to the proposed "State of Palestine" in exchange for their intended expelling of Jews from Judea and Samaria.
Prof. Abe Sion explains why it would be unsafe to trust irredentist Muslims to keep Israel safe from an Islamist Palestine ruled by Hamas. He cites Israel having ceded the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt in 1981- now at a defensive disadvantage from Islamist territorial aggression.
The Latma TV comedy troupe sends-up the United Nations's hypocrisy in their new, "Somebody to Hate" music video:
Yossi Klein Halevi debunks Obama's professed "peace process" as hypocrisy: "If U.S. doesn't pre-empt Iran from going nuclear, Iran will launch a Jihadist war against Israel, exploding the peace-process.The reknowned Israeli thinker and writer, Yossi Klein Halevi, (American-born and raised, currently publishing in The New Republic) returned to the U.S. to explain to Americans how Pres. Obama's behavior and policies towards Israel intentionally undermine the friendship between the countries. Worse, he describes how detrimental, he feels, the Obama Administration's contemptuous treatment of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu bullies all Zionists. This sends a signal to the world that "it's now open-season" against the Jewish State.
An obvious example of that, Mr. Halevi says, is Britain's expelling the head of the Mossad desk in the Israeli Embassy in London. The message to the jihadists, he believes, is to encourage Iran (through its proxies Hizbollah or Hamas) to open a limited front of attacks against Israel, with the expectation that Obama will step-in and prevent Israel from comprehensively eliminating the threat, while publicly diminishing Israel's public image by portraying him as having to restrain their aggression.
In this DemoCast video of Mr. Halevi's speech in Los Angeles on April 22nd, Halevi explains many of his views on the relationship and the situation, including how Obama's ambition to force creating a Palestinian State with a hostile Palestinian population would be an existential threat to Israel. If Obama doesn't stop Iran from going nuclear, there will be no possibility of peace in the Middle East, as Jihad forces (Hamas) in the mid-east will be united around Iran against Israel.
"Obama will be judged by Israel by how he handles the nuclear issue with Iran. And from what we've seen so far, with one deadline after another, we in Israel frankly have zero confidence in the backbone of this Administration." "We are seeing potentially a tragedy of historic proportions." Mr. Halevi deconstructs what he sees as Washington's misguided priorities of achieving stability in the Middle-East. Halevi spoke at Nessah Israel Synagogue in L.A. at an 22 April event organized by 30 Years After (and co-sponsored by the Jewish Journal, and OLAM Magazine).
In this, Part II, question and answer session, Mr. Halevi deconstructs what he sees as Washington's misguided priorities of achieving stability in the Middle-East.

Olam's editor, David Suissa, postulates on Obama's motives with Halevi during the question and answer session in this video - characterized in Mr. Suissa's Op/Ed in the Jewish Journal of L.A.:
"For about an hour, Halevi had us riveted with his anatomy of a deteriorating relationship. At the end, the big question lingered: Why would Obama act this way toward a great ally? If it’s not anti-Semitism or tough love, is there a larger narrative that speaks to the soul of the man — a narrative that might explain why he bows to America’s foes and mistreats America’s friends?
