Obama Silent On Palestinian Authority Incitement And Racism

Palestinian Authority (PA) Chief Negotiator Saeb Erekat's hate-filled and racist remarks

Obama missed a wonderful opportunity to reprimand (PA) Chief Negotiator - Saeb Erekat - for his hate-filled and racist remarks made at a meeting held by the International Peace Institute (IPI) in NY just ten days ago in the presence of Israel’s Deputy Prime Minister.

That opportunity was afforded President Obama at a joint press conference he held with ... Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu...

Mr Erekat’s remarks were racist, highly provocative and amounted to incitement on a level never heard from so senior a member of the PA before. Maybe this is what triggered President Obama’s warning. However without any direct - and public - Presidential rebuke or reprimand - the President’s call amounted to nothing more than hot air devoid of any context which led to it being made.

Addressing the IPI meeting Mr Erekat had this to say:

“There are roads today in the West Bank that we cannot use as Palestinians—only Israelis can use. And look—such diseases as racism and bigotry, once it inflicts underneath our skin, we have tended to justify it, sometimes [indiscernible], sometimes economically, sometimes psychologically, and sometimes even sexually. Today Israel is justifying this apartheid regime in the West Bank by security terms – that’s racism.“

Absent was any comment or acknowledgment by Mr Erekat that there are other roads in the West Bank that are closed to Jews.

Obama hates the Jews and thus has become the enemy of God. Lots of luck with that.

Only whites can be racist.

The melanin-endowed (whether Arab, Mexican, or Afritard like our Pres__ent) are incapable of this ultimate sin.

Expecting principled leadership from Obama is not a wise idea.

These are the guys who are quick to make the case that they are bullied and duped by Fox News, one news outlet out of several, but weren’t intimidated at all by over 60% of public opinion against their health care plan.

Obama’smentors and friends from his earliest days all hated the U.S. and wanted her overthrown. Their gods are sociopathic murderers: Stalin, Castro, Mao, Che, Arafat.
