As Columbia University’s most prominent alum, former president Barack Obama would seem to have a moral obligation to speak about what is arguably the most visible outbreak of antisemitism on American soil in his lifetime.
I refer here to the occupation of Obama’s alma mater by Hamas-supporters who have been openly threatening Jewish students, chanting “Kill all Zionists,” and shouting racial slurs like “pig.”
As I sat down to write this, five days into the protest, Obama had said not a word.
By contrast, Obama was tweeting about the August 2017 Antifa/white nationalist brouhaha in Charlottesville, Virginia before the day was through.

From the beginning, the media have allowed Obama to conceal his easy tolerance of antisemitism. One journalist who came to Obama’s aid, unapologetically at that, was photographer and occasional National Public Radio (NPR) commentator Askia Muhammad.
In January 2018, as a way of promoting his new book, Muhammad shared with the world a photo he had taken in 2005 at a Black Congressional Caucus event. In the center of the photo is a smiling Barack Obama. Standing right next to him, also smiling broadly, is Nation of Islam honcho Louis Farrakhan. Sensing what might generously be called “bad optics,” a Black Caucus member stopped Muhammad even before he left the building.
“I gave the picture up at the time and basically swore secrecy,” Muhammad admitted thirteen years later. But after the nomination was secured and all the way up until the inauguration; then for eight years after he was president, it was kept under cover.”
When asked whether he thought the photo, if revealed, would have made a difference in the 2008 campaign, Muhammad said, emphatically, “It absolutely would have made a difference.”

What would 0bama say if he stated what he really believes?
From Kenya to Hawaii.
If he was Trump, hiding the photo would be election fraud.
That's easy. He would simply quote Adolph in German from 90 years ago.
Obamalamadingdong said something. I guess I’ll never know what he said.

In terms of hating Jews and any others, there is not a bit of difference between his “church” and terrorists’ groups. Of course he supports Hamas.
“Obama’s alma mater”? Obama never went to classes, so how is Columbia his alma mater?

And rape
If Obozo is talking about Hamas, he is talking about his brothers.
I clicked in the link to find it. Would have been helpful if the OP had included the significant part in his excerpt. Here it is :
Obama weighed in with a photo of himself and Michelle at a traditional seder meal from days gone by. In this tweet, marking the beginning of Passover, there is no talk of hate, no mention of Hamas, no reference to Columbia.
“And in a time when there’s been so much suffering and loss in Israel and Gaza,” he writes in his fortune cookie prose, “let’s reaffirm our commitment to the Jewish people, and people of all religions, who deserve to feel safe and secure wherever they live and practice their faith.”
Pinging you to my #13 as a courtesy just because I referred to you.
The student protestors of that era became the elite of the Democrat party.
Well it worked last time, right?
Lol. “Fortune cookie prose” !!
Hilarious and very accurate. Thanks for the reply BR.
It’s his idea..
Yes, that was a good phrase.
