American elections: “A historic Intifada called Barack Obama”

Monday November 3, 2008 - 10:58, by Chawki Freïha - Beirut

The editor of daily newspaper “Al Quds Al Arabi”, Abdelbari Atwane (first journalist to have met Usama Bin Laden), reconsiders in his leading article of November 3 the American elections. Under the provocative title “Intifada history of Obama”, which refers Palestinian to Intifada rented so much by the daily newspaper, Atwane stresses that “in the absence of a catastrophe, Obama will be elected, and the American people, through his vote, will have launched his more important Intifada”.

For Atwane, “the Americans thus give the kickoff of their Intifada history against racism, of their revolution against sectarianism and the extreme line. A rising against the Anglicans and the slave system in general… ”. “Barack Obama, resulting from the black community and poor, which will succede, thanks to its personal fight and to its perseverance, in directing the super power through the ballot boxes, is the only one being able to reconcile America with itself and the whole world, after eight years of the policy of George Bush who ruined the country and wasted its credit of sympathy… ”, the leader-writer underlines. He adds that “the defeat of Obama vis-a-vis John McCain is impossible at this stage, although it can occur thanks to an organized fraud. But in this case, it could sign the end of the United States, cause inter-American divisions, demonstrations, riots and an unequalled anger… What would precipitate the defeat of American empire” [note: the same newspaper had a long time warned against an explosion of the French suburbs in the event of victory of Nicolas Sarkozy vis-a-vis Ségolène Royal].

The leader-writer criticizes, with virulence, the republican candidate: “Those which reproach Obama its lack of experience must explain us what the United States and the world gained with the experiment of Bush lasting eight years, and give us us a credible alternative to Obama. It is not the old McCain who will prolong the policy of Bush, nor will his running mate Sarah Palin, who has had her passport only for one year, succeed in extracting the United States out of its current crisis and its economic and moral bankruptcy”.

Praising in advance the benefit of the victory of Obama, Atwane says that “(…) the change awaited in the United States will have without any doubt a positive effect on us, the Arabs and the Moslems, who have suffered from an administration submitted for eight years to the control of the Zionists, with the holdup of the Israeli lobby, whose objective is to destroy the Arab world and Islam… ”.

For the leader-writer, “the change in the United States will undoubtedly involve a change in the Arab countries. The Arab, tyrannical and corrupted ways, lived thanks to their alliance with Washington favorable to Israel (…).

We have the natural resources able to save the world of the crisis. If these resources are well exploited, we could impose our point of view and serve our causes, as the Jewish family of Rothschild had exploited its resources to buy Lord Balfour and to obtain its famous promise shortly after the First War which had ruined Great Britain. The conditions are met today so that the Arabs exploit their resources to obtain a favorable American attitude and thus correct the historical errors made in Palestine. It is our right to express our support for Obama today, not because his father was called Hussein, nor because he is black, even less because he is of Moslem origin, but simply because he is in revolt against contempt”.

I guess the most remarkable feature of this article is that this consort of terrorists would think we care what he thinks! His twisted view of Americans, and America, is obviously shaped by the company he keeps. None of them anyone I would care to even meet. They, and their good opinion, are that worthless.
