Koch slams Obama

Ed Koch Reverses Position, Slams Obama’s “Weakness” on Muslims
Former NYC Mayor, Democrat Ed Koch, on Rosh Hashannah: “No one understands what ‘we have Israel’s back’ means”.

By Mark Langfan, INN

At Park East Synagogue’s Rosh Hashannah High Holiday service, September 17, 2012, Former Mayor Ed Koch during his annual “sermon” from the pulpit, in front of over a thousand worshippers, said “I’m distressed.”

“President Obama is refusing to publicly make clear to Iran that ‘If you get the bomb, we will take you out.'”

Mayor Koch previously had publicly boasted of his close ties to President Obama. Mayor Koch also said “Nobody understands what ‘We have your back'” means. We shouldn’t have Israel’s ‘back’ we should have Israel’s ‘front’.

“As the brave Senator Inouye from Hawaii said last year, the President should say ‘An attack upon Israel will be deemed an attack against the United States.’:

Former Mayor Koch went on to say “President Obama is showing weakness to the Muslim world.”

Koch said the entire country should call and send letters to President Obama and their senators and congressmen expressing their outrage at the weak United States stance taken in the face of the murder and violence against our embassies, and demand that the US take a clear firm stance.

Koch added, “Any other self-respecting western country where their embassy was attacked, their ambassador and his security detail murdered, and the local police ran away would withdraw their embassy immediately in protest.”

Koch concluded by demanding that the US should stop all US foreign aid and tourism to countries like Egypt where they have allowed US embassies to be attacked.

What made Mayor Koch’s current stance on Obama a dramatic shock is that Koch was, until recently, a staunch supporter of President Obama. Throughout Koch’s short and to the point speech, the stunned worshippers broke into repeated, thunderous, and prolonged applause. altogether about eight times.

Mayor Koch opened his talk by saying he had just gotten out of the hospital where they took 55 pounds of water out of his body, and he “weighed the same weight as when he came out of the army in World War II – 67 years ago.” A listener commented to Arutz Sheva that from the clarity of his speech, Koch sounded as if his mental faculties are also the same as when he got out of the army 67 years ago.

  1. Now I understand why before koch supported obama. He had to much water in his brain.
    God bless doctors who removed this water. But I afreid the water can come back.
    Koch must have constant supervision.

  5. Don’t take Koch’s bait. He’s had harsh words for Obama before and then turned around and said he still supports him for reelection. In his latest “break” with Obama, Koch never said he wasn’t going to vote for Obama in Nov.

  6. Mayor Koch opened his talk by saying he had just gotten out of the hospital where they took 55 pounds of water out of his body

    Now that he no longer has water on the brain, he can think clearly. As was writen above, better late than never.

  9. NOT AN ACT OF WAR. Not even an act of terror. That’s according to the US State Department.

    According to the State Department it was a case of … (let’s add this to our post-American lexicon) “A COMPLEX ATTACK”

    US: Too soon to call Libya an act of terror

    While State Department officials have described what they called “a complex attack” by extremists, they have stopped short of saying what its motives were, arguing that was one of the purposes of the investigation

    State Department: No Benghazi Questions until DOJ finishes investigating

    It’s always so much easier for the State Department to define an event according to their favorite formula: Israel Bad – Arabs Good. But now how does the US government define an act that took the lives of US diplomats in Libya without using a word that may offend Muslim sensitivities? You simply don’t talk about it. Brilliant!

  10. Koch’s message will amount to nothing more than a blast of hot air that quickly dissipates unless:

    1. He along with his supporters take immediate measures to ensures Koch’s anti-Obama his message is now heard loud and clear by all American Jews and
    2. He accompanies damning Obama with imploring all American Jews to turn their backs on the feckless anti-Israel and practically anti-Amnerican Obama and vote for Romney.

  11. I am Canadian but definitely, the rape and killing of Mr Stephens and the three others at the embassy on what is traditionally seen as foreign soil under the flag of the host embassy, IS NOT SENSELESS VIOLENCE. IT IS A DECLARATION OF WAR.

    An armed attack on non hostile persons of a foreign nation there to offer guidance and direction to citizens of that host Country.

    Only a Democrat or Canadian Green Party member refuses to see it as such.

    Now Koch wakes up?. Better late than never.

  13. Koch added, “Any other self-respecting western country where their embassy was attacked, their ambassador and his security detail murdered, and the local police ran away would withdraw their embassy immediately in protest.”

    “Withdraw their embassy immediately in protest”? This is nothing short of an act of war, a causus belli.
