Update:
Here is what reader Judy posted in the comments:

Please note the automatically generated link to the blog I write for, Refugee Resettlement Watch. It is to my post, <a href=Hamas members are NOT flooding into the US from Gaza. This presidential determination is about sending aid to Gaza, NOT Gazans coming here. Migration is not the same as immigration. Obama is using funds from a program that presidents use at their discretion. George W. Bush used it; other presidents used it; not one immigrant to the U.S. has resulted.

Believe me, I am no apologist for Obama. The funds he has sent to Gaza, ostensibly to aid civilians, almost certainly is going right into the hands of Hamas, which use it for weapons or some other nefarious purpose.

It is obvious that Obama would not want “Palestinians” from Gaza to emigrate here. That would leave fewer civilians for Hamas to hide behind, fewer heartrending videos for CNN to show, less pressure on Israel to cease to exist so these people could take over.

Obama has already done more terrible things than I can count. So we don’t need to make up one that isn’t true.

I apologize for not posting very much lately. Aside from the depressing news, I’ve been dealing with some personal issues that have been taking up most of my time.

But let me just sum up what Obama has accomplished not even a month into his presidency.

He ordered the closing of the Guatanamo Bay prison. Where those poor cute little cuddly misunderstood terrorists will go is still up in the air.

He ordered the CIA detention centers shut down.

And he dropped charges against that Al Qaeda terrorist responsible for the USS Cole bombing.

Remember, his first call as President to a foreign leader was to Mahmoud Abbas. His first interview as POTUS was to Al Arabiyah. Need I also remind you of all the foreign donations that came in from Gaza?

Anyway, as a result of the self-inflicted suffering of the Hamastinians, Obama has signed a Presidential Determination allowing these genocidal Hamas supporters to resettle in the U.S., at the expense of us taxpayers.

SUMMARY:

Presidential Documents
Presidential Documents

Here’s what this Presidential Determination is about in simpler language.

By executive order, President Barack Obama has ordered the expenditure of $20.3 million in migration assistance to the Palestinian refugees and conflict victims in Gaza.

The “presidential determination” which allows hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the United States was signed on January 27 and appeared in the Federal Register on February 4.

President Obama’s decision, according to the Register, was necessitated by “the urgent refugee and migration needs” of the “victims.”

Few on Capitol Hill took note that the order provides a free ticket replete with housing and food allowances to individuals who have displayed their overwhelming support of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January 2006.

On this blog, I’ve posted about how Khalid Al Mansour paid for Obama to go to Harvard Law School. Do any of you think Al Mansour was doing it out of the goodness of his heart? Obama is clearly giving the rogue Muslim states what they want, and paying back his sugar daddy.

I doubt this news will affect any of the millions of stupid liberal Jews who voted for Obama. After all, liberal Jews are notorious for caring about every other cause under the sun except for the plight of their fellow Jews, and the Jewish state. Liberalism is their true religion, and they’ve twisted the Torah to fit their crazy beliefs.

President Barack Obama urged Israel on Thursday to open its borders with Gaza.

The plea came in a speech that signalled the new US administration’s shift from Bush-era policy on the Middle East and the world as a whole. In a high-profile address on his second day in office, just hours after he signed an executive order to close the centre at Guantánamo Bay, Mr Obama proclaimed that the US would “actively and aggressively seek a lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians” in the wake of this month’s Gaza war.

“The outline for a durable ceasefire is clear: Hamas must end its rocket fire: Israel will complete the withdrawal of its forces from Gaza: the US and our partners will support a credible anti-smuggling and interdiction regime, so that Hamas cannot re-arm,” the US president said.

“As part of a lasting ceasefire, Gaza’s border crossings should be open to allow the flow of aid and commerce, with an appropriate monitoring regime, with the international and Palestinian Authority participating.”

Wow, this sounds like the fox guarding the hen house. He wants so-called palestinians guarding against the smuggling of arms from Egypt to Hamas?

{snip}

“Let me be clear: America is committed to Israel’s security and we will always support Israel’s right to defend itself against legitimate threats,” Mr Obama said.

But in comments referring to the Gaza conflict he added: “I was deeply concerned by the loss of Palestinian and Israeli life in recent days and by the substantial suffering and humanitarian needs in Gaza. Our hearts go out to Palestinian civilians who are in need of immediate food, clean water, and basic medical care, and who’ve faced suffocating poverty for far too long.”

Hussein can speak for himself. There are no “palestinians.” They’re merely Egyptians and Jordanians who changed their names after 1967. Nor are they civilians. Thus, the term is a complete oxymoron.

It’s not Israel’s fault that these monsters elected a terror organization to govern them. And the fact is, Ham-Ass doesn’t care about them either.

I notice that these Arabs are ecstatic when their women and children blow themselves up and kill Jews. BUT it’s only when these so-called civilians fail at killing Jews (for example when Israeli’s accidentally kill these willing human shields) that the Arabs pretend to be upset at the loss of life.

So the many American Jewish Obama supporters can be grateful that they helped destroy the only civilized Western democracy in the Middle East, while creating yet another Muslim terrorist rogue state in its place.

B. Hussein has surrounded himself with yet another Arab who is hostile to Israel. In the case of former Senator George Mitchell, he’s only half Arab, as his mother was a Lebanese immigrant. But the the hatred of Israel is there nonetheless.

To refresh the memory of the reader: In late October, 2000, US president Clinton appointed an international investigation commission to investigate the causes of renewed massive violence in Israel, naming an Arab American and former US Senator, George Mitchell, as its chairman, and a Jewish-American, also a former US senator, Warren Rudman, to the panel, together with three prominent European diplomats.

{snip}

The Mitchell commission accepted as a given that the PLO-led riots were based on a movement for “independence and genuine self-determination”, without giving credence to the clearly stated PLO goal, stated in all PLO publications, maps and media outlets, even during the current Oslo process, which remains “liberation” of all of Palestine.

For some reason, the Mitchell Commission characterized the rioters armed with molotov cocktails as “unarmed Palestinian demonstrators”. a term that they seemed to have borrowed from several PLO information reports that were published at the time..

The Mitchell Commission took the position that Israel’s security forces did not face a clear a present danger when faced with a mob trying to kill them with rocks and firebombs

The Mitchell Commission made no mention that the PA has amassed 50,000 more weapons than they are supposed to have, in clear violation of the written Oslo accords,.

The Mitchell Commission surprisingly accepted the notion that the Palestinian Authority security officials are simply not in control of their own tightly controlled security services,

The Mitchell Commission would not consider reliable li intelligence reports which documented that the Palestinian Authority had planned the uprising, and did not relate to documentation which showed that the PA spent past seven years preparing its media, school system and security services for a violent confrontation with Israel.

The Mitchell Commission described as an Israeli “view” that the PA leadership has made no real effort to prevent anti-Israeli terrorism, ignoring the consistent incitement that Arafat has conveyed to his own media for the previous seven years.

The Mitchell Commission also rejected Israel’s characterization of the conflict, as “armed conflict short of war”; (How else would you describe an army that fires mortar rounds into Israeli cities?)

The Mitchell Commission also condemned the IDF killing of PLO combat officers during a time of war, without giving an alternative as to what actions the IDF is supposed to take in any such military confrontation.

Instead of issuing a clear call to the PLO to stop sniper attacks on Israel’s roads and highways, the Mitchell Commission simply “condemned the positioning of gunmen within or near civilian dwellings”, leaving the observer to assume that PLO attacks from empty embankments would be acceptable.

The Mitchell Commission suggested that “the IDF should consider withdrawing to positions held before September 28, 2000, …to reduce the number of friction points”, ignoring the fact that this would leave entry points to many Israeli cities without appropriate protection during a time of war.

The Mitchell Commission also demanded that Israel should transfer to the PA all tax revenues owed, and permit Palestinians who had been employed in Israel to return to their jobs, strangely recommending that Israel once again be in the position of paying the salaries of armed PLO personnel who were at war with Israel.

Meanwhile, the Mitchell Commission took a page out of Arab propaganda when it called on Israeli “security forces and settlers to refrain from the destruction of homes and roads, as well as trees and other agricultural property in Palestinian areas”, and would not relate to the possibility that some of the trees and agricultural land had been razed may have been provided cover to PA security forces during combat.

The Mitchell Commission also accepted the notion that “settlers and settlements in their midst” remains a cause of the Palestinian uprising, because these Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria violate “the spirit of the Oslo process”, even though not one word appears in the actual Oslo accords would require the dismemberment of a single Israeli settlement.

In conclusion, the Mitchell Commission drew a strange comparison between “settlement activities” and the Palestinian ability to resume negotiations, so long as “settlement activities” continue, introducing an excuse for the PLO to continue its armed conflict.

In short, the Mitchell Commission Report drove a nail into the coffin of any credibility that George Mitchell can ever have as a Middle East envoy.

Already, I can see that this Administration is going to be the most Muslim terrorist friendly one in American history.

This video was made by JTF member 4International. It’s approximately ten minutes long.

Meet Ingrid Mattson, the first female head of the Islamic Society of North America. She’ll be one of the religious leaders speaking at Obama’s inaugural prayer service. Just to refresh your memory, ISNA was one of the unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation case.

Mattson’s group calls itself “the largest Muslim umbrella organization” in North America. However, in May 2007, federal prosecutors included ISNA on a list of nearly 300 co-conspirators filed in a criminal case charging that the Holy Land Foundation of Richardson, Texas, funneled more than $12 million to Hamas.

The U.S. government designated Hamas as a terrorist group in 1995.

{snip}

“During last year’s trial, numerous exhibits were entered into evidence establishing both ISNA’s and NAIT’s intimate relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood, the Palestine Committee, and the defendants in this case,” Mr. Jacks wrote . “They were intimately connected with the HLF and its assigned task of providing financial support to HAMAS. … That ISNA and NAIT appeared in these documents and share a common history with these defendants is a reflection of the evidence, not any attempt to ‘disparage’ or ‘vilify.’”

Here’s more background on the ISNA.

According to terrorism expert Steven Emerson, ISNA “is a radical group hiding under a false veneer of moderation”; “convenes annual conferences where Islamist militants have been given a platform to incite violence and promote hatred” (for instance, al Qaeda supporter and PLO official Yusuf Al-Qaradhawi was invited to speak at an ISNA conference); has held fundraisers for terrorists (after Hamas leader Mousa Marzook was arrested and eventually deported in 1997, ISNA raised money for his defense); has condemned the U.S. government’s post-9/11 seizure of Hamas’ and Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s financial assets; and publishes a bi-monthly magazine, Islamic Horizons, that “often champions militant Islamist doctrine.”

Adds Emerson: “I think ISNA has been an umbrella, also a promoter of groups that have been involved in terrorism. I am not going to accuse the ISNA of being directly involved in terrorism. I will say ISNA has sponsored extremists, racists, people who call for Jihad against the United States.”

Emerson further reports that “In September 2002, a full year after the 9/11 attacks, speakers at ISNA’s annual conference still refused to acknowledge Bin Laden’s role in the terrorist attacks.”

{snip}

In December 2003, U.S. Senators Charles Grassley and Max Baucus of the Senate Committee on Finance listed ISNA as one of 25 American Muslim organizations that “finance terrorism and perpetuate violence.” ISNA is known to have permitted the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (and a number of other Islamic charities with terror connections) to set up booths at its conventions, and in some cases has helped raise money for them.

I knew this would happen. After enough whining from the United (with Terrorists) Nations, the European Union, and the Muslim terrorist loving news media, the Israeli government is saying its Gaza offensive could be in the “final act.”

Now I’m just an average person, but can someone please explain to me how broadcasting your intentions to the entire world while you’re at war is a good idea? And why on earth can’t they see a Hudna for what it is? These terrorists only use the ceasefires to regroup, and then attack when they’re stronger.

The fact is, Israel wants to get this all over with, before Obama is sworn in.

The inauguration of new U.S. President Barack Obama on Tuesday is seen by some as the time by which Israel will bow to mounting international pressure and call off its attacks.

Furthermore, I find it extremely disingenous for these Gazans to whine about all of their so-called civilian casualties when 90% of these people elected Hamas in the first place. The term Palestinian civilian is an oxymoron.

Many of these so-called civilians are happy to act as human shields. This way, they can hurt the militarily superior Israel with propaganda. In fact, Hamas actively recruits human shields.

Called to form a human shield
During the course of a prior Israeli military operation against Gaza terrorists in March 2008, Hamas repeatedly called upon civilians to gather near buildings where they expected the IDF to launch air strikes against weapons storage facilities and other military targets.

Hamas’s Al-Aqsa TV issued a special call to children at the time to form a human shield at the home of Abu al-Hatal of the a-Shouqaf quarter in Sajaiyeh in order to protect the building from an anticipated IAF air strike.

A month earlier, Hamas Member of Parliament Fathi Hammad claimed in a speech broadcast on February 29, 2008 on Al-Aqsa TV that for PA Arabs, “death has become an industry at which women excel… The elderly excel at this, and so do the mujahideen and the children.”

So let me ask you guys something…How on earth is it possible to “massacre” people who would gladly die to murder Jews, or to make them look like murderers? The whole expression “massacring palestinians” is just another oxymoron.
