Israel: Obama criticism of Jerusalem construction is racist
Israel Today ^ | 11-23-09 | Israel Today Staff

Posted on 11/22/2009 6:13:28 PM PST by Tigen

Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat on Wednesday called US President Barack Obama's strong criticism of the building of additional Jewish homes in a Jewish neighborhood of the Israeli capital a position based on racism. Said Barkat: "Israeli law does not discriminate between Jews, Muslims, and Christians or between eastern and western Jerusalem. The demand to halt construction by religion is not legal in the United States or in any other free place in the world. I do not presume that any government would demand to freeze construction in the United States based on race, religion or gender and the attempt to demand it from Jerusalem is a double standard and inconceivable."

The Jerusalem mayor was responding to Obama's remarks to Fox News earlier in the day, in which the president referred to the approval of 900 new apartments in the southern Jerusalem neighborhood of Gilo as "settlement activity," and suggested that it justified further Palestinian violence.

Israel seems to forget that in the USA only one race is allowed to pull the race card.

still trying to start jihad

I see a clear consistency in Barry's moves against both Christians and Jews, despite his Muslim er, uh,... Christian religion.

That's just because our government hasn't gotten around to it yet.

Imagine if some foreign country demanded that Mormons build no more homes in Salt Lake City. Of if Baptists build no more homes in Tennessee. Or if Catholics build no more homes in Boston. If you do, it justifies terrorist attacks against you. Such is the logic of the Obamanites.

Only way to come at this, either it’s racism or Apartheid or both.

I went to REAL ESTATE SCHOOL, took the test, and got my license. This is absolutely CORRECT.

But one does not need to get a Real Estate License to figure this one out! LOL.

Why is it that I, An Irish Indian BASS PLAYER, (all three groups commonly ridiculed for being a little dense!) know this and the POTUS does NOT? LOL
