Obama in Egypt meets Jew hater Egyptian archeologist Hawass who says that Judaism is a “false faith” calling it “the faith that they forged and contaminated with their poison, which is aimed against all of mankind.”

How could they do it? Obama travels to Cairo, Egypt, for a world beating speech and his handlers set him up to meet with none other than Jew hating Zahi Hawass, secretary-general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Egypt. Hawass is a familiar face to millions who have seen him reveal secrets of the past on TV programs about Egyptian archeology. In February he revealed a secret about himself and his innermost beliefs. In an Egyptian TV interview Hawass said this about the Jews:

“For 18 centuries they were dispersed throughout the world. They went to America and took control of its economy. They have a plan. Although they are few in number, they control the entire world.”

The interviewer continued, asking Hawass how it is possible that Jews “have taken control of the entire world.” In response Hawass explained:

“The reason is that they are always united over a single view. They always move together, even if in the wrong direction. We, on the other hand, are divided. If even two Arab countries could be in agreement, our voice would be stronger. Look at the control they have over America and the media.”

You can read the transcript and watch the video of Hawass’ outrageous statements over at MEMRI. http://tinyurl.com/akugv7 and http://tinyurl.com/c8277p.

What else does Hawass have to say about Jews? In an article for the London-based Arabic newspaper Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, which is distributed around the world, Hawass wrote that:

"The concept of killing women, children and elderly people... seems to run in the blood of the Jews of Palestine. [In fact,] it seems to have become part of the false faith of this people, who is tormenting us in our [own] homeland.

When I speak of the Jewish faith, I do not mean their [original] faith, but the faith that they forged and contaminated with their poison, which is aimed against all of mankind... The only thing that the Jews have learned from history is methods of tyranny and torment - so much so that they have become artists in this field. They have done to the Palestinians what Pharaoh and Sargon [of Akkad] did to the Jews..."

So there we have it. Obama meets with a world famous Egyptian archeologist who also happens to be a hater. A hater of Jews, a hater of history and a hater of the truth. Oh, the irony. How could Obama meet with him? Didn’t he know? Didn’t his people check out the background on Hawass?

In the speech he delivered in Cairo, the President had this to say about Jews:

“Around the world, the Jewish people were persecuted for centuries, and anti-Semitism in Europe culminated in an unprecedented Holocaust. Tomorrow, I will visit Buchenwald, which was part of a network of camps where Jews were enslaved, tortured, shot and gassed to death by the Third Reich. Six million Jews were killed -- more than the entire Jewish population of Israel today. Denying that fact is baseless, it is ignorant, and it is hateful. Threatening Israel with destruction -- or repeating vile stereotypes about Jews -- is deeply wrong, and only serves to evoke in the minds of Israelis this most painful of memories while preventing the peace that the people of this region deserve.

On the other hand, it is also undeniable that the Palestinian people -- Muslims and Christians -- have suffered in pursuit of a homeland. For more than 60 years they've endured the pain of dislocation. Many wait in refugee camps in the West Bank, Gaza, and neighboring lands for a life of peace and security that they have never been able to lead. They endure the daily humiliations -- large and small -- that come with occupation. So let there be no doubt: The situation for the Palestinian people is intolerable. And America will not turn our backs on the legitimate Palestinian aspiration for dignity, opportunity, and a state of their own.”

Wait. What? What do you mean “on the other hand?” There is no “on the other hand” about the Holocaust. The rights of the Palestinians is not “on the other hand” of the worst genocide in history. It is not “on the other hand” of the Final Solution, the plan to wipe the Jewish people off the face of the earth.

There is no moral equivalence to the Holocaust. There is no “on the other hand.”

And truth be told, while we’re speaking plain truth to the world, the plight of the Palestinians has more than anything else to do with the fact that they have been used as pawns by the Arab Muslim countries in the battle to wipe out Israel. The Arabs have refused for decades to allow the Palestinians to become citizens or work in their countries. They force them to stay in refugee camps. And let’s not forget the UN with its UNRWA, the only UN body ever devoted to maintaining one people as permanent refugees. When a million Jewish refugees were forced out of Arab lands not a finger was lifted to help by the UN. There was no special UN agency for them. About 600,000 of them settled in Israel with help only from other Jews.

The President is on the way to visit the remains of concentration camps in Germany. Perhaps we will hear more about “the other hand.”
