Obama Tour to Include Germany, Egypt, Not Israel
Israel National News ^ | 6/2/09 | Malkah Fleisher

(IsraelNN.com) US President Barack Hussein Obama will tour the German slave labor camp Buchenwald with German Chancellor Angela Merkel later this week, as part of a world outreach tour which will focus on building ties with the Arab world.

Merkel, who grew up in communist East Germany and made an official visit to Israel in 2007, will accompany the US's left-leaning president through the camp, in which over 56,000 Jews and other prisoners were murdered prior to liberation in 1945. Famed Jewish writer and Buchenwald survivor Elie Wiesel will also accompany the dignitaries.

Smart move by Obama. Perhaps he is trying to avoid a scene like this...

BS ... he's looking for inspiration and/or design ideas.

The Israelis should be glad he’s not visiting them.

So he'll visit Buchenwald but not the State of Israel that has sheltered and given a refuge to the ancestors of those who were slaughtered there. What kind of monstrous message does this send to the Jewish people?

About the same message Islam sends to the Jew.

Bukhari (52:177) - Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."

Tabari 7:97 The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared," Kill any Jew who falls under your power."

What the heck does visiting Buchenwald have to do with "building ties with the Arab world", unless he's picking up a set of schematics to be used down in the sandbox?

I wonder which of Obama’s relatives helped to liberate Buchenwald?
