Just as the Restoring Honor Rally on 8-28-10, was not an attack on the United States nor on POTUS, neither is the Restoring Courage Rally to be an attack on the United States and POTUS. It is rather, as all of Beck's rallies have been, an affirmative statement about who we are and what we stand for. In fact, there will be Americans from all political walks of life in Jerusalem on 8-24-11. Indeed there will people from all over the world who have different political views and religions there. <br /><br />To stand with Israel means recognizing that her enemies have stated quite boldly that they mean to wipe her and her people off the face of the earth. Further, they have stated their intent to kill every Jew in world. The American left and indeed, the international left has allied themselves with the Islamists who are making such threats. Although Obama is not the focus of this rally, it is quite clear that he stands with the international left against his own country and against Israel. He will be out of office soon enough, and we have no need to malign him in Jerusalem. His own record speaks against him. <br /><br />You are either ignorant of the point of the rally or you choose to spin it as a political rally. Either way, you have been negligent on getting the facts before you speak. Fortunately, the lies about the Restoring Honor 8-28 rally made no difference. It was successful in bringing people together around their core values. The lies about this one will no doubt be just as useless. It takes courage to face down the popular but malign idea that it is right and good to delegitimize Israel. No doubt, those who stand in Jerusalem and here in support of Israel have the intestinal fortitude to do so, and their example will help the more timid amongst us.Elisheva Hannah Levinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16061377724926154037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6059095776066394557.post-28795431275252930662011-07-10T13:17:05.344-06:002011-07-10T13:17:05.344-06:00Conservatives need to stop being hypocrites here. ...Conservatives need to stop being hypocrites here. Doing the wrong thing for the right reason is still doing the wrong thing.<br /><br />And going to a foreign country to protest your own government is the wrong thing no matter how wrong you might think Obama is.<br /><br />Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill said it best:<br /><br />"When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home."<br /><br />He understood the complete uglyness to what Beck is doing. The line that Beck crosses into acting in very unpatriotic way indeed.<br /><br />We might not like it but Obama IS our President. When the lefties were going "not my president" during Bush we were legitimately angry because they were not attacking the man they were attacking the office. So are we if we are now taking our disagreements outside our shores.<br /><br />Disagree with Obama's policy - okay, there's places, there's opportunities to do that. But when you go to another country then you are not attacking merely Obama you are, whether you feel this way or not - YOU ARE ATTACKING AMERICA.<br /><br />You have become no better than the Left who I have spent a lifetime hating for their attacks against America. You have become traitors!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
