Amusing: DNC adds God, Jerusalem back to platform; delegates boo...

It took three voice votes for the chair to declare the amendments passed. In all honesty, the "nos" had it. Hopefully, we will see this in a GOP ad soon.

(CNN) - Democrats voted to update their party's platform Wednesday evening at their convention to include a reference to Jerusalem being the capital of Israel, as well as the insertion of the word "God," neither of which was included in their platform this year but was in previous platforms. The change, proposed by Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland immediately after the convention was gaveled into order on Wednesday, required a two-thirds voice vote, but was declared as adopted after three voice votes which brought delegates to their feet, shouting their yeas and nays. Democratic sources told CNN prior to the vote that it was to take place by acclamation.

New DNC Platform: God and Jerusalem go under the bus

God is not mentioned in the New DNC platform. They also dropped a statement naming Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel.

CHARLOTTE - For Democrats, there is no God in 2012 - at least as far as the party's platform is concerned. 

Nor is there a Jerusalem. 

Democrats removed those two words, and the passages surrounding them, from the 2012 party platform as it was released this week. 

In Charlotte on Monday, the Democratic National Committee released its 2012 party platform after the DNC Platform Committee approved it under the leadership of Newark, N.J., Mayor Cory Booker. The Platform Drafting Committee, led by Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, gathered feedback for an initial draft in Minneapolis over the summer. 

Gone are three sentences identifying Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, now and forever. There is no mention of Jerusalem in the 2012 document, after the 2008 version included this mention: Keep on reading...

Video Ad From The Republican Jewish Coalition: Backtrack

Candidate Obama thought Jerusalem was the Capital of Israel. President Obama won't voice an opinion.

White House admits they don't think Jerusalem is the capital of Israel

Oy vey!

Via CNSNews.com:

In what marks a decisive difference in the presidential campaign, one day after Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney called Jerusalem the capital of Israel, the White House asserted that Romney’s position was different from that of the Obama administration.

“Our view is that that is a different position than this administration holds. It’s the view of this administration that the capital should be determined in final status negotiations between parties,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters Monday.

“I would remind you that that is the position that has been held by previous administrations both Democratic and Republican. So, if Mr. Romney disagrees with that position, he is also disagreeing with positions taken by previous presidents like Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan,” Earnest added.

Flashback Video: Senator Obama Promised AIPAC in 2008 Jerusalem Will Remain the Capitol of Israel and It Must Remain Undivided

Flashback Video: Obama promised AIPAC in 2008 Jerusalem will remain the Capitol of Israel and it must remain undivided. The comment starts at about the 18:45 mark of the video.

"...and Jerusalem will remain the Capitol of Israel and it must remain undivided."

Does anyone believe President Obama ever meant those words?

Egyptian Revolutionaries Ready to Move on to Liberating Jerusalem

This has to be the least shocking headline of the day.

(MEMRI) — Following are excerpts from a public address by Egyptian cleric Safwat Higazi, which aired on Al-Aqsa TV on June 10, 2011:

Jerusalem will not be liberated through conferences, accords, or agreements. Jerusalem will be liberated only through a sacred march by millions. Millions of young Arabs will set out from all Arab countries in order to liberate Jerusalem once again. This will happen in the near future, Allah willing, whether people like it or not.

Before the [Egyptian] revolution, we would say: “Never mind if we do not live to see victory and the liberation of Jerusalem. The important thing is that we lay another brick on that path. Our children, our grandchildren, or our great-grandchildren will liberate Jerusalem.”

After the Egyptian revolution, I do not say this anymore. Allah willing, we will be liberating Jerusalem ourselves, and we will pray in Jerusalem, Allah willing. We will be the ones to be martyred on the threshold of Jerusalem. We shall not wait for our children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren. Time is pressing. We will be liberating Jerusalem, Allah willing.

Obama Has Lost Almost Half of His US Jewish Support

Eight out of ten Jewish Americans voted for Obama. A new McLaughlin poll has found that support has dropped to four out of ten. President Obama has been estranged from our closest ally in the Middle East. Since taking office 18 months ago, President Obama has put all the pressure for progress in peace talks on the Israelis. Recently, there has been heated exchanges over Jewish building in Jerusalem. Even liberals like Senator Chuck Schumer has criticized Obama's Israel policy. Belief among Israelis in Obama's support for Israel is in single digits and there have been anti-Obama protests.

The Washington Times reported:

It looks like a core group that supported President Barack Obama during his election is dropping their support for him by half. These kinds of numbers are astounding, and Democrats running for office in even safe blue districts should not necessarily be waving over the president during the campaign season to help them with their re-election campaigns, because no incumbent appears to be safe.

Arutz Sheva is reporting President Barack Obama has lost almost half of his support among Jewish Americans.

Jewish Leaders are worried Obama will cede the Temple Mount and divide Jerusalem

Jewish leaders criticized Barack Hussein Obama's speech to the Muslim world, "It emphasized 'Hussein' more than it did 'Barack'."
According to YNet News:

"Only time will tell if the US president is Barack or Hussein," Yesha Council Director-General Pinchas Wallerstein said Thursday in response to Obama's historic speech in Cairo, in which called for a "new beginning between the United States and Muslims."

Yesha Council Chairman Danny Dayan was more critical of the American leader, saying "in many respects the speech pandered to Islam; it emphasized 'Hussein' more than it did 'Barack', and proved that we must not allow the Obama administration (impose its will regarding Israeli construction in the West Bank and Jerusalem). He will eventually cause us to divide Jerusalem and cede the Temple Mount."

"However, we must keep in mind that the decisions are made in Jerusalem," Dayan said.

The Shomron Settlers' Committee issued a statement saying "The State of Israel is paying the price for its leaders' defeatism. Hussein Obama opted to adopt the Arab's bogus versions over the Jewish truth.
