Obama’s Pastor Urged Divestment from Israel, Called Zionism Racism
IsraPundit ^ | 4/18/08 | Bill Levinson

Posted on 04/18/2008 1:14:51 PM PDT by Winged Hussar

We remind our readers that Jeremiah Wright’s accusation that Israel created an “ethnic bomb” to kill Black people and Arabs was first exposed at IsraPundit [http://www.israpundit.com/2008/?p=551]. Now we bring you more fresh revelations of anti-Israel hate speech from Barack Obama’s pastor of 20-plus years. With regard to the following, the United Church of Christ has ties to the Sabeel Ecuminical Liberation Theology Center, which refers to the creation of Israel (NOT the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, the creation of Israel) as the Nakba or “catastrophe.”

Trumpet Magazine

The Israelis have illegally occupied Palestinian territories for almost 40 years now. It took a divestment campaign to wake the business community up concerning the South Africa issue. Divestment has now hit the table again as a strategy to wake the business community up and to wake Americans up concerning the injustice and the racism under which the Palestinians have livedbecause of Zionism.

The Divestment issue will hit the floor during this month’s General Synod. Divesting dollars from businesses and banks that do business with Israel is the new strategy being proposed to wake the world up concerning the racism of Zionism. That Divestment issue won’t make the press either, however.

Pastor Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr., July 2005

“July 2005”

What a second rate commie. Most Commies have long dropped that “Zionism is Racism” canard, or at least limit themselves to assert it, anonymously, at HuffPost.com.

Wright hates Israel...

Which book do you all believe Wright studies, the Bible or the Koran?

I wish to amend my prior statement. My criticism of the good pastor for his failure to disengage from Marxist mindset should be in no way read as disapproving of “divestment.” In fact, I support divestment. We need to follow the Arab nations’ lead on divestment.

Like the Arab nations we should divest too. Divest as they have from Gaza. Arab Hamas has joined the Persian orbit for their murderous purposes, why not follow the Arabs lead?

Be careful what you wish for: McCain is a liberal.

The Reverend Wright and the Reverend Fred Phelps are birds of a feather:

Reverend Phelps = "God hates Fags"

Reverend Wright = "God hates Whites"

No, I don’t want Obama or McCain. But this is how the liberals win, they give us two lefties to vote for.

I’m not playing anymore.

“reverend” Jeremiah Wright is in severe need of a very long discussion out behind God’s woodshed with St. Michael the Archangel and a very large hickory switch!

Obama will either have to turn on Wright, or lose his Senate seat in the next go ‘round. Thanks C from E.

if he loses his Senate seat he can start his own 'church' - he sounds more like a preacher than a candidate for POTUS each time I hear him speak.
