Obama Campaign Site Hosts “Israpalestine” Group

What is its agenda, and why is Barack Obama giving it a platform on his Web site?

We phrase this as a question because we are not 100 percent sure, but the context suggests a merger of Israel and “Palestine” into a single country in which Palestinian demographics would soon overwhelm the European minority–an agenda similar to the “Right of Return” under which Palestinians could swamp Israelis through unlimited immigration. Barack Obama’s official campaign site hosts a rather secretive “IsraPalestine” group whose blog is accessible only by members, although some of its content is crossposted to other groups. (http://my.barackobama.com/page/group/Israpalestine)

All of the following material is hosted on a Web site that is “paid for by Obama for America” and which, contrary to the disclaimer on each Web page, is under the editorial control of Obama campaign staffers. “Exercise of editorial control” makes Obama responsible for the content. Furthermore, “Israpalestine” is not merely an individual posting but an interest group, whose presence must probably be reviewed and sanctioned by the moderators who exercise editorial control over the site.

As stated on “IsraPalestine’s” group site (http://my.barackobama.com/page/group/Israpalestine),

This group’s thinking makes a quantum leap in how to address the Palestine/ Israel issue. Our objective is to look at basic human needs such as political representation, citizenry issues, common humanity, and freedom. We do so by bypassing differences in religion and nationality. We will discuss the nature of the conflict, its genesis and possible modalities for reaching a logical outcome. The Israpalestine modality and formulation are open to the creative genius of this group.

We need to find out what this is. Context suggests that the group's agenda is the effective destruction of Israel as a Western democracy through a merger with the Palestinians, who would overwhelm it demographically (the same strategy as the "Right of Return."

Wexler (Lib-Dem FL), Jewsvote.org, and the National Jewish Democratic Council are trying to portray Obama as a friend of Israel. This, along with Jeremiah Wright's call for divestment from Israel (http://www.israpundit.com/2008/?p=2416) ought to stop them cold.
