Obama Officials Met with Hamas, Discussed Removing it from Terror List

Posted By Daniel Greenfield On June 25, 2013 @ 5:24 pm In The Point | 5 Comments

This isn’t the first time that claims like these have been made. But it shows that despite Obama Inc’s supposed public about face on Israel, the underlying priorities remain the same.

A Hamas leader claims the terrorist group has had “direct meetings” with U.S. officials close to the White House despite a longstanding American policy to have no contact with Hamas.

The claim from Hamas leader Ghazi Hamad was reported in a Palestinian news outlet. Top American representatives were in meetings Hamas had with European ambassadors and officials about two weeks ago, he said.

The officials discussed removing Hamas from the list of designated terrorist organizations, but that “these contacts have not yet reached the level of decision-makers,”

Ghazi Hamad is Hamas’s Deputy Foreign Minister which means that his claims about meetings with international officials have a certain amount of credibility.

Hamad’s presence is also significant because when Western useful idiots talk about moderate Hamas leaders, they mean Ghazi Hamad who occasionally says things that suggests the group would consider peace with Israel… things that the actual leaders of Hamas later deny. If there is anyone that Obama Inc. would try to reach out to as a Hamas “moderate”, it would be Hamad.

Well Obama did win the Nobel Peace Prize, so I guess this is good ... right? no? it’s not? wait my head hurts, how can our savior Obama who is winning the war on terror make peace with the terrorist by calling them not-terrorists? This doesn’t make sense so something must be wrong with the media ... ya they’ve always been out to get Obama ... right? no? They’re his biggest supporters? Then it must be an evil right wing conspiracy like claiming he’s spying on us or sicking the IRS on us, something crazy like that!

I don’t see why not. Obama and Hamas have a lot in common.

I’m so glad that Hamas is willing to remove the Obama Administration from their terror lists.

You know times have changed when half the population is cheering Putin on for snubbing 0 on Snowden being extradited back to the U.S. Hell now Russia is acting like the old U.S. while we are celebrating gay day everyday and the MSM is shielding 0 while he continues to assault our freedoms. What the heck is going on?

Impeachment, followed by immediate removal from office. It's the right thing to do. Repubs: where are you? See:White House Visitor

So BO's folk aren't just negotiating with terrorists, their negotiating to stop calling them terrorists.
A riddle for BO: if you call its tail a leg, how many legs does a cow have?

It’s almost like somebody from outside the US government is telling the US government how to behave. It’s like somebody, or some organization, from outside the US government is bribing our leaders or blackmailing them, or both.

The WH sent no one to Lady Thatcher’s funeral but a delegation from the US attended Chavez’s service.
Any questions ?

Makes you the that the WH has been infiltrated by radical Islamists. Really.

Is Obama a plant by those who seek a world wide Ialamic Caliphate? Sure seems that way.
