Obama Sends Man Linked With Terror Group AND George Soros to Deal With Egypt/Syria

News services in Israel are on fire with talk that Barack Obama has just sent a supporter of the terror group Hamas as his envoy to Syria and Egypt to relay news of his policies to come. Last September Israel's suspicions were heated up about "former" Obama advisor Robert Malley being sent to Syria with a George Soros funded group. It was then claimed by Egyptian sources that Malley was still working as an advance man for Obama which angered Israelis because six months earlier Malley announced that he had held "regular meetings" with Hamas. At that time, Malley's comment caused the Obama camp to hurriedly distance the candidate from any connection with Malley. But, with the election over, it seems that Obama's claims that Malley didn't really work for him are not quite true. It also seems that we already have the very first example of Obama sticking his finger in the eye of our allies in Israel. Naturally, the U.S. press is not reporting this news.

In September of this year, Robert Malley caused consternation among people that stand against the terror group Hamas when he went to Syria to work for a group called the International Crisis Group -- a George Soros funded NGO also chaired by other doyens the far left. Some thought that he was secretly there as an Obama advance man, but there is no real proof that he was there in that capacity at that time so the story died down.

As mentioned, back in May Malley reported that he held "regular meetings" with the Palestinian terror group Hamas causing Israelis quite a lot of heartburn. To appease Israel's supporters in the U.S. at that time, the Obama camp threw Malley under the bus...

Obama is already making major mistakes and he isn't even Prez yet!

It's only a mistake if one thinks 0 gives a damn about Israel.

Sorry, Israel — it’s a brave new world. Obama is only interested in making nice with your enemies at your expense. You’re on your own, so get used to it.

“Egypt is known as the king of the south and Syria is known as the king of the north in Bible prophecy.”

King of the East = Iran?

[GovernmentShrinker]

None of the various versions of this story that I’ve read contain any information indicating that Obama has “sent” this guy anywhere for any reason. Just a loud accusation of that, followed by a bunch of vague rambling that doesn’t support the accusation. This sounds like disinformation spread by al Qaeda/Hamas sympathizers more than anything else.

What mistake? The self-anointed One does not err; it is the mere foolishness of lesser beings who fail to comprehend. And bow down.

The best case would be for Israel to be on its own. The worst case would be for Barack to order a pre-emptive strike on Israel to prevent their pre-emptive strike on Iran.

I’m going to sit back and watch this man’s world unfold.

Thank you for your cautious post. You remind me to stifle my knee jerk reactions and be prudent.

He's just the latest. From last winter...

Not serious about foreign policy either

And for more on Malley....

Barack Obama's Middle East Expert

Be very careful, Barry. This nation's impeached presidents for far less than treason.

[11th Commandment]

Irrelevant, Obama was on 43 year old when Robert Malley meet with terror groups.

[mewzilla]

Meanwhile....

Hamas says it's already talking to Obama (Surprised?)

[mewzilla]

And with a very big FWIW.....

HAMAS: Barack Obama advisors asked HAMAS to keep pre-election meeting secret!

[mewzilla]

Ed Morrissey's take....

Did Obama’s team meet with Hamas before the election?

FWIW, Mr. Morrissey, I think a better question would be how many times...

[mmanager]

Sorry, Israel — it’s a brave new world. Obama is only interested in making nice with your enemies at your expense. You’re on your own, so get used to it. With 77% of American Jews' voting for the one, why would we expect anything less?

And over on this thread http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2130026/posts (”Hamas: We met Obama advisers”) we have some FReepers insisting we should believe rumors about President-elect Obama that are being spewed by a Hamas leader. No other source. A Hamas leader said it, so we’re supposed to believe it!

Nope. Barack Obama is President-elect of the United States, and if you want me to believe something bad about him, you’d better have a MUCH more credible source than a Hamas leader or “news services” whose reports don’t identify any sources. I voted for McCain, but Obama won, and he’s going to be President of the United States for the next 4 years. This is not a reason to start imagining that terrorists are our friends, helpfully giving us dirt on our President-elect.

Thank you again for your prudent advice.

I will admit to resisting giving Obama support at this time, because I think he is dangerous.

I will, however, try to be exercise good judgment as the example you are showing us.
