Diplomatie : Israël & le Moyen-Orient

Que le pharaon de la Maison Blanche en soit pour ses frais : le peuple israélien n'est pas un peuple d'esclaves ni de laquais.

Clinton Issues Holiday Greetings to Muslims, Not Jews

by Maayana Miskin

(IsraelNN.com) Both Jews and Muslims celebrated holidays in September 2009. However, the United States Consulate in Jerusalem – America's representative in Israel's capital – chose to focus entirely on Islam this year, while ignoring the Jewish holidays of Rosh HaShana and Yom Kippur completely.

The Consulate's website features Eid il-Fitr greetings from U.S. President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Consul General Daniel Rubinstein. Its staff was involved in Ramadan celebrations in Jenin and Shechem, and hosted a meal in Jericho for the Muslim holiday of Iftar.

Clinton's greeting was published on September 19 – the first day of Rosh HaShana. However, no mention was made of the Jewish holiday.

All three holiday wishes from American leaders to Muslims were apolitical, and focused on messages such as “personal reflection” and “charity.” In contrast, President Obama's Rosh HaShana greeting, which is not on the site, included a brief promotion of his Israel-Palestinian Authority peace plan.

Snub Follows Admission that Consulate Caters to PA
The High Holidays snub follows an admission in August that the U.S. Consulate in Jerusalem views itself as America's representative to the PA, while the embassy in Tel Aviv is seen as the representative to Israel.

Ben tiens ! Hussein Obama l'a clairement montré ( ses courbettes, ses génuflexions, les mensonges ahurissants de son discours du Caire ) qu'il est musulman et que des Juifs il n'a que f ...tre.
