Obama's Jewish Ruse

Sometimes, when I read all the support Obama is getting from the Jewish community, I just depair.

What is the matter with you people?

Have you not understood anything about Obama's loyalties from listening to Rev. Wright, who said Louis Farrakhan "epitomizes greatness" as his church handed him an award? Do you not remember who Louis Farrakhan is? He's the man who said:"The real anti-Semites are those who came out of Europe and settled in Palestine, and now they call themselves the true Jews, when in fact, they converted to Judaism," as Farrakhan told Al Jazeera on March 18, 2007. The Farrakhan who said in a Swing magazine interview: "Until Jews apologize for their hand in that ugly slave trade; and until the Jewish rabbis and the Talmudic scholars that made up the Hamitic myth -- that we were the children of Ham, doomed and cursed to be hewers of wood and drawers of water -- apologize, then I have nothing to apologize for." Or as he said in the Mosque Maryam, Chicago, 3/19/95: "German Jews financed Hitler right here in America...International bankers financed Hitler and poor Jews died while big Jews were at the root of what you call the Holocaust...Little Jews died while big Jews made money. Little Jews [were] being turned into soap while big Jews washed themselves with it. Jews [were] playing violin, Jews [were] playing music, while other Jews [were] marching into the gas chambers..."

The award Obama's church gave Farrakhan lauded his: "depth of analysis when it comes to the racial ills of this nation." It praised "his integrity and honesty." Wright called him "an unforgettable force, a catalyst for change and a religious leader who is sincere about his faith and his purpose." As Mr. Cohen wrote in the Washington Post: "These are the words of a man who prayed with Obama just before the Illinois senator announced his run for the presidency. Will he pray with him just before his inaugural?"

With the help of certain Jews, the answer is yes.

Yes, Mr. Obama has distanced himself from Wright. Even Mr. Farrakhan understands why. As Farrakhen said on ABC's Nightline: "I like him [Obama] very much. ...He has a fresh approach...If avoiding me would help him to become president, I'd be glad to stay in the background."

Below, information about Obama's ties to Palestinians before he figured out he needed the Jewish vote in Florida.

My fellow Jews, maybe your vote for Obama will mean the difference between a win or a lose in this, and other, key states. I understand you can't move to Israel, but you can vote in a U.S. President who cares about Israelis, and did not align himself with anti-Semites over the last 20 years. What is it you don't understand about Obama's new found love for Jews and support for Israel? Are you REALLY that naive? Or brainwashed by the NY Times, that Israel-bashing piece of Leftist propaganda masquerading as a newspaper? And I'll tell you something else - don't think he is the best choice for you, and that you are doing yourself a favor. Maybe this is the way G-d intends to get all you American Jews to move to Israel, by having Obama and his friends take over America. You'll get "change" all right. Maybe the Jews won't like it though. Maybe they'll be forced to relocate.

Below, some facts, and some photos.

Obama's Jews Ruse

Obama's sudden support for Israel seemed somewhat suspect and expedient. Looks to me like Obama wants to use the Jews to get elected, and then what? Steadfast support for Israel? I think not.

Barack Obama, D-Illinois, delivered a very pro-Israel address to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee of Chicago at the end of last week. "Our job is to rebuild the road to real peace and lasting security throughout the region," Obama said. "Our job is to do more than lay out another road map. That effort begins with a clear and strong commitment to the security of Israel: Our strongest ally in the region and its only established democracy. That will always be my starting point."

But now comes a very interesting blog entry by the pro-Palestinian blogger Ali Abunimah at The Electronic Intifadah, who alleges that Obama has moved to stridently pro-Israel position as his national aspirations developed. "The last time I spoke to Obama was in the winter of 2004 at a gathering in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood," Abunimah writes. "He was in the midst of a primary campaign to secure the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate seat he now occupies. But at that time polls showed him trailing. "As he came in from the cold and took off his coat, I went up to greet him. He responded warmly, and volunteered, "Hey, I'm sorry I haven't said more about Palestine right now, but we are in a tough pri'mary race. I'm hoping when things calm down I can be more up front.' He referred to my activism, including columns I was contributing to the The Chicago Tribune critical of Israeli and US policy, 'Keep up the good work!"

As the various Democratic rivals compete for Jewish support, big pro-Israel donors ought to see this. A strawman for Israel is the last thing the free world needs in the fight against the global jihad.

HOW OBAMA LEARNED TO LOVE ISRAEL The Electronic Intifada

[...]

Over the years since I first saw Obama speak I met him about half a dozen times, often at Palestinian and Arab-American community events in Chicago including a May 1998 community fundraiser at which Edward Said was the keynote speaker. In 2000, when Obama unsuccessfully ran for Congress I heard him speak at a campaign fundraiser hosted by a University of Chicago professor. On that occasion and others Obama was forthright in his criticism of US policy and his call for an even-handed approach to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

The last time I spoke to Obama was in the winter of 2004 at a gathering in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood. He was in the midst of a primary campaign to secure the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate seat he now occupies. But at that time polls showed him trailing.

Obama has also been close to some prominent Arab Americans, and has received their best advice. His decisive trajectory reinforces a lesson that politically weak constituencies have learned many times: access to people with power alone does not translate into influence over policy. Money and votes, but especially money, channelled through sophisticated and coordinated networks that can "bundle" small donations into million dollar chunks are what buy influence on policy. Currently, advocates of Palestinian rights are very far from having such networks at their disposal. Unless they go out and do the hard work to build them, or to support meaningful campaign finance reform, whispering in the ears of politicians will have little impact. (For what it's worth, I did my part. I recently met with Obama's legislative aide, and wrote to Obama urging a more balanced policy towards Palestine.)

If disappointing, given his historically close relations to Palestinian-Americans, Obama's about-face is not surprising. He is merely doing what he thinks is necessary to get elected and he will continue doing it as long as it keeps him in power. Palestinian-Americans are in the same position as civil libertarians who watched with dismay as Obama voted to reauthorize the USA Patriot Act, or immigrant rights advocates who were horrified as he voted in favor of a Republican bill to authorize the construction of a 700-mile fence on the border with Mexico.
