Israel and Obama’s Radical Past
National Review Online ^ | 5-20-11 | Stanley Kurtz

Posted on 05/22/2011 4:21:41 AM PDT by radioone

Does President Obama’s radical past tell us anything significant about his stance on Israel today? Perhaps more important, do the radical alliances of Obama’s Chicago days raise a warning flag about what the president’s position on Israel may be in 2013, should he safely secure reelection? Many will deny it, but I believe Obama’s radical history speaks volumes about the past, present, and likely future course of his policy on Israel.

When I heard BHO’s speech and then Bibi's smackdown of the boy professor, I told my wife that Hussein's anti Israel feelings come from Rev. Wright's church. You know, the church were he sat in the pews for over 20 some years and never heard any of the sermons

“Abunimah, in a Times interview and on his website, said Obama seemed sympathetic to the Palestinian cause but more circumspect as he ran for the U.S. Senate in 2004. At a dinner gathering that year, Abunimah said, Obama greeted him warmly and said privately that he needed to speak cautiously about the Middle East.

Abunimah quoted Obama as saying that he was sorry he wasn’t talking more about the Palestinian cause, but that his primary campaign had constrained what he could say.

Obama, through his aide, Axelrod, denied he ever said those words, and Abunimah’s account could not be independently verified.”

Axlerod sure has me convinced...../sarc.

..........................................................
Why just speak of Israel?

Obama’s past speaks volumes for the course of his policies about everything.

The man was mentored by Communists and racists.His whole life is based on racism and Communism. How can anyone deny he wasn’t effected by the teachings of Jeremiah Wright, Franl Davis, Bill Ayres, Tony Rezco,Lola Soetoro?

These names have been mentioned over and over again and still no one pays attention.Obama is a product of these people. A known terrorist who is now a Professor in one of our college’s. Bill Ayres. A man who wrote of sex and pedophilia and Communism, Frank Davis. A man who promotes racism under the guise of religion and is in cahoos with Farrakhan, Jeremiah Wright. Tony Rezco , who paid off Obama with a piece of property.Lolo Soetoro his step father and a Muslim.His father a drunken Muslim.

When you lie down with dogs you come up with flea’s. Obama is a flea ridden Muslim , who is destroying America,with the help of people in Congress who should know better, but are more interested in their power than in America’s future.

Hussein is really a mooselimb, in actions, beliefs, desires and associations.

The boy child hates the US Constitution, capitalism, our European founding fathers, our Judeo-Christian under-pinnings and will do what ever he can to destroy them.

You have Bambi pegged perfectly. It is frustrating that his “record” is there, but neither media nor enough people, will take heed.

Although Power now disavows it, there is persuasive evidence that she once advocated an American military intervention against Israel to impose a two-state solution.

And Carter's man Brezhinski said publicly in what seemed to be a veiled but official position of either the government or the Democrats that the US should invade and occupy Israel so that fairness could be enforced.

Let us not forget Obama’s ties to Kenya which is the main motivator for his hatred of the United Kingdom.

This is not a complex, deep-thinking man. He is a shallow by-product of a liberal utopia.

Just think about it.

Liberals would love to force our children to be raised in the same enviroment as Obama...with radical parents.

Liberals would love to force our children to endure the same teachings/education as Obama...they are winning on this one.

Liberals would love to force our children to only affiliate with great liberal thinkers just as Obama.

Liberals would love to force our children to attend church in a place like Rev Wright’s.

The reality is Palestinians don't want a separate state, they want the place currently known as Israel. They don't want to live in peace but to take over what the Jews worked so hard to build since Israel's conception. Obama, it seems, is all for it too (as is Wright).

That's what the left, in general, always wants - the fruit of another's labor. They don't want to work for it - they want to steal what others have worked for. You can see it in our tax code. You can see it in their never-ending quest to expand the welfare state. You can see it in the environazi movement. They'd gladly throw Israel under the bus, just as they're doing to the business class in the US, and to individuals that don't support their communist views.

It's really not a lot different than it was in 1860, except that conservatives and productive people are the new "N" word.

What is slowly dawning on many libs is that Obama is not the moderate he said he was. I make a distinction between the outright leftists and the usual assortment of braindead libs. While the leftists are more than happy, many of the libs, especially Jewish libs, are looking at this latest Obama outrage with dismay. It doesn’t portend good things for the party, although it won’t cause many of the the libs to shift their allegiance to the Pubbies. But they might not vote next year in protest.
