What You Don’t Know About Gaza (Obama's friend Rashid Khalidi's NY Times Op-Ed barf)
nytimes.com ^ | January 7, 2009 | RASHID KHALIDI

Posted on 01/09/2009 7:46:18 PM PST by Free ThinkerNY

NEARLY everything you’ve been led to believe about Gaza is wrong. Below are a few essential points that seem to be missing from the conversation, much of which has taken place in the press, about Israel’s attack on the Gaza Strip.

THE GAZANS Most of the people living in Gaza are not there by choice. The majority of the 1.5 million people crammed into the roughly 140 square miles of the Gaza Strip belong to families that came from towns and villages outside Gaza like Ashkelon and Beersheba. They were driven to Gaza by the Israeli Army in 1948.

THE OCCUPATION The Gazans have lived under Israeli occupation since the Six-Day War in 1967. Israel is still widely considered to be an occupying power, even though it removed its troops and settlers from the strip in 2005.

I read this today and watched as my internal NY Times puke-o-meter fell to a new all-time low. I’ll not be surprised again by what a complete piece of crap this paper has become.

They were driven to Gaza by the Israeli Army in 1948.

B.S. They went there at the urging of Iraq, which was preparing to wipe out Israel and didn't want to kill many Arabs in the process.

The Obamunists at the LA Slimes will never do anything to hurt their dear leader.

***As the occupying power, Israel has the responsibility under the Fourth Geneva Convention to see to the welfare of the civilian population of the Gaza Strip.***

Israel is NOT occupying Gaza.

The majority of the 1.5 million people crammed into the roughly 140 square miles of the Gaza Strip belong to families that came from formerly occupied towns and villages outside Gaza like Ashkelon and Beersheba.

THE OCCUPATION The Gazans have lived under Israeli occupation on Israeli land since the Six-Day War in 1967. Israel is still widely considered to be an occupying apes and pigs power, even though it removed its troops and settlers from the strip in 2005.

Thank you, Thank you, no applause please...

I commented FIVE days ago right her on FR...

“Wanna know why 0bama is silent on this issue?

His Harvard education was sponsored and paid for by Arab Muslims and he counts not one, but two, PLO spokesmen as close friends, the now dead, Edward Said, and Rashid Khalidi”.

The day the United States turns its back on Israel is the day God totally and finally removes His Hand from this nation.

A complete falsehood. the majority of Palestinians are from Jordan and elsewhere. Yasser Arafat himself was born in Cairo, Egypt.

Khalidi is another one of Obama’s neighbors from Hyde Park. Bill Ayers helped him “edit” his book just like he did for the Anointed One. This is one big rock that’s been turned over.

Yup. While many Americans won’t deserve God’s wrath, most will. How will God solve that quandry? Can you say Rapture? Make good with God, people.

"They were driven to Gaza by the Israeli Army in 1948. "

The following is the desired response of a typical uninformed libtard, after reading this story.

You see, you see!:those poor Palestinian people. They're just like the American Indians, and they have been oppressed since 1948 by the evil white Jews who came in and stole their land, and sequestered them on reservations!

I tell you it's criminal! Just Criminal!

Ayers and Obama have been as thick as thieves since 1982 when they were both at school in New York within a few hundred yards of each other.

Mike Klonsky, another committed communist, is also a part of that communist Kabal in Hyde Park.

America has NO IDEA what they have unleashed upon themselves..

Not to mention all those NYC Columbia Journalism grads that infiltrate the News Media with the marxixt anti-American propagandi — BHO’s “secrets” will continue to be hidden in plain sight.

I wondered how the Messiah made it to Chicago. I knew there had to be an Ayers link. Thanks for connecting two more dots.

This gets more sickening by the minute.

Ayers and Obama had at least one close friend in common while in New York. PLO Spokesman and Marxist professor at Columbia, Edward Said, was a close friend of Bill Ayers and was also 0bama’s English professor. In “Dreams from My Father” 0bama states the he “sought out Marxist professors” and he and Said became close friends. Rashid Khalidi followed in Said’s footsteps as a PLO spokesman.

When you realize that 0bama and Ayers have been together for 25 years a whole lot of other “coincidences” fall into place. It explains his move to Chicago, His working at the law firm that had Ayers’ father as major client, how he met his wife, how he got sponsored and funded for Harvard (Again by associates of Ayers’ father), how he got on the Chicago Annenberg Foundation board, how he got on the Woods Foundation Board and why his book has a remarkably similar stye of writing and vocabulary as other works by William Ayers and unlike anything else 0bama has created.

0bama is Ayers’ protege. He mentioned “Early childhood education” (Ayers’ speciality) TWICE in the Presidential Debates as areas for increased funding despite the financial meltdown and he is talking about massive increases in education right now as part of his “stimulous package”.

I have been reading Jack Cashill’s work on the ghostwriter Ayers. Go back further to the growing up days in Hawaii with the family friend, and overt communist, Frank Marshall Davis. This man sounds pure evil to me and the grandparents totlly into the scene. I can only believe that they were all a quart low and totally into the anti-America/commie scene. Some have speculated that Uncle Frank was fooling around with BHO’s mother as a young girl and then fooled around with BHO as a boy -no wonder the Anointed one had little interest in seeing Gramma until she was near death. The fix is really in.
