Support For Israel
Page 2
Khaled Abu Toameh, Gatestone Institute
The Egyptians are furious with U.S. President Barack Obama for meeting in the White House this week with the emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad
al-Thani. They say that the Obama Administration has once again turned its back on moderate Arabs and Muslims by endorsing those who support and
fund Islamic terror groups. The meeting between Obama and the emir of Qatar came shortly after Egypt accused the emirate of supporting terrorism.
CPR
Many Arabs and Muslims see the meeting between Obama and al-Thani as a gift to Qatar for its continued support of Islamic radical groups in different
parts of the Middle East, including Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. The meeting came less than a week after the Egyptian envoy to the
Arab League, Tareq Adel, accused Qatar of supporting terrorism. In response, Qatar recalled its ambassador to Cairo for "consultations."
A CPR class will meet in the shul basement
on Thursday, March 12th at 7:00 PM. If
you're interested in joining the class, please
contact David Welcher at 295-7778
On the eve of Obama's meeting with the emir, Egyptian sources revealed that Qatar was providing weapons and ammunition to members of the Islamic
State in Libya. The sources said that 35 Qatari aircraft were involved in transferring weapons and ammunition to the terror group.
Qatar is also one of the biggest funders of Hamas, whose leader, Khaled Mashaal, is based in Qatar's capital, Doha. During the past few years, Qatar has
provided Hamas with hundreds of millions of dollars -- money used to purchase and develop weapons to attack Israel.
Dinner Journal Ads
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and his regime consider Qatar to be one of the main supporters and funders of Islamic terror groups. They believe
that without Qatar's support and money, Islamic terror groups would not have been able to launch numerous attacks on Egyptian soldiers in Sinai, and
Hamas would not be in control of the Gaza Strip.
If you’re interested in helping the shul to
get journal ads for our annual dinner,
please contact Lisa Fishbein, Simone
Greenbaum or Jay Fuchs.
Arab political analysts are also concerned about Obama's ongoing attempts to appease Iran, which continues to expand its presence in Arab countries such
as Yemen, Iraq and Lebanon -- as well as in Syria, where it is deeply involved in backing Hezbollah and operating along the border with Israel. A Reuters
report revealed that Iran also has hundreds of advisors in Iraq.
Sisterhood Supperette
"The Islamic Republic of Iran has helped Iraq, Syria, Palestine and Hezbollah by exporting the technology that it has for the production of missiles and
other equipment," Revolutionary Guard Air Force commander Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh was quoted recently.
Save the date May 5th for the Sisterhood
Superette.
By the time Obama's term in office ends, Iran will most likely be in control of more Arab countries, and Qatari-backed terror groups will be much stronger,
killing more Muslims and non-Muslims.
Please write to the President at [email protected] about his foreign policy, which is detrimental to Israel. Keep in mind that
while the President has met with Qatar’s Sheikh al-Thani, he has refused to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu!
Board Meeting
There will be a Board meeting Monday,
March 2nd at 9:00 pm in shul.
