White House Corrects Obama’s Eulogy Transcript, Deletes Israel
Jewish Press ^ | October 2nd, 2016 | Hana Levi Julian

The White House corrected the transcript of Pres. Barack Obama's eulogy, showing Jerusalem in Israel.

The White House staff on Friday corrected what appears to have been a clerical “error”, based on its long-standing policy of not recognizing any part of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, when it released a transcript of President Barack Obama’s eulogy for Israel’s late former president, Shimon Peres.

The original location in which the eulogy was delivered, listed at the top of page one, was “Jerusalem, Israel.”

Mind you, Mount Herzl Cemetery is in the western part of the capital.

However, shortly after, the White House rushed to disseminate a corrected version with the country “Israel” crossed out with a single line through it. The correction was first noted by William Daroff, Senior Vice President for Public Policy & Director of the Washington office of The Jewish Federations of North America.

On the current version on the White House website Israel has been deleted.

Kinda hard to act all butthurt about anything, when you have a rule about “foreign messiahs” and Jesus was a Jew.

Boy, is the White House staff in trouble! They just crossed it out! They did not follow Hussein’s instructions to change “Israel” to “that portion of sacred Palestine occupied by the infidel Zionist dogs, money changers, interlopers, kikes, swindlers and corrupters of the morals of Muslim children.”

Obama would like to physically delete Israel. Literally. That’s not hyperbole.

Hey, Obama and your anti-Semitic staff. GREAT TIMING. Right before Rosh Hashanoh and Yom Kippur. That’ll get you a lot of Jewish votes from sane Democrats.

Keep it up Comrade. Next thing you know your wife will be kissing Abbas’ wife just like Hillary kissed Arafart’s fake wife.

Looks like Rev. Wright’s bible lessons were a little off kilter from the facts, eh Hussein O.

Yep. All Middle Easter muslims, especially, delete Israel from their official maps. Been a long-time policy.

Hussein acts no different.

The Mount Herzl Cemetery has been part of Israel since 1948. Clearly State considers the creation of Israel illegitimate, else this would not be an issue.

He supports a unified Israel, all right. Only he wants it unified as the capital of the PA.
