Obama seeks to reassure Israel

More lies from the Obama Political Machine. Senator Obama does NOT have a supportive voting record on Israel. He is no friend of Israel or the Jewish people. He has stated he will sit down with our enemies and give them the international recognition and public relations stage that they do NOT deserve.

Obama has given a great deal of credit to the influence his church and his minister have had upon him. Obama's embrace of black separatism and empowerment (via the teachings of Rev Wright and Louis Farrakhan) are a mask for the underlying anti-semitism messages. He sat in that church listening to these words for 20 YEARS and NEVER disagreed with them.

In Rev Wright's own words: "The Israelis have illegally occupied Palestinian territories for almost 40 years now. It took a divestment campaign to wake the business community up concerning the South Africa issue. Divestment has now hit the table again as a strategy to wake the business community up and to wake Americans up concerning the injustice and the racism under which the Palestinians have lived because of Zionism."

Do you need more proof?

In an interview he gave prior to the U.S. Senate primary election with the Chicago Jewish News published in March 2004, when asked about the Israeli security fence, Obama replied: “the creation of a wall dividing the two nations is yet another example of the neglect of this Administration in brokering peace.”

The security fence has saved the lives of many innocent people: terror attacks against Israelis have plummeted. After suffering waves of suicide bombings, losing more than 900 people and after suffering thousands of casualties, Israel learned that indeed “fences can be good neighbors”. One wishes that Senator Obama could appreciate the toll that this endless wave of terror had on the men, women and children who had to bear it. Furthermore, it is not a wall (except for a small part, comprising less than 5% of the length) and there are not two nations involved in the dispute - there is no Palestinian nation, as of yet.

He has stated: "Israel government must make difficult concessions for the peace process to restart".

This position contradicts the key principle of the Road Map that states that steps must be taken by both the Palestinians and the Israelis in parallel. Israel, contrary to Obama's views, is not responsible for taking the first steps to restart the peace process.

Obama has been a United States Senator for only two years and much of that time has been spent promoting his books and his candidacy. However minimal, the fact is that he does have a record; not an easy one to uncover, yet a record nevertheless and one that should give pause to those who support the American-Israel alliance.

Great post, Steve from Belmont!
