The First Mistake: Barack Obama's Silence on Gaza
By Ru Freeman
Seven years ago, another American president took the sympathy of the world and transformed it into hatred. Just two months ago, Barack Obama won it back on the backs of ordinary Americans. Today he stands on the brink of repeating the biggest mistake of his predecessor.

Noam Chomsky: Obama's Stance on Gaza Crisis "Approximately the Bush Position"
In a visit to the State Department Thursday, President Obama made his first substantive comments on the Middle East conflict since Israel's attack on Gaza. Obama first mentioned his commitment to Israel's security, without affirming his commitment to Palestinian security. He condemned Palestinian rocket attacks on southern Israeli towns, but didn't criticize the US-backed Israeli bombings of densely populated Gaza. But in a departure from the Bush administration, Obama acknowledged Palestinian suffering and said Gaza's borders should be opened to aid. We speak with MIT professor, Noam Chomsky.

All the jewish state has to do is remind President Obama of his kind words at a AIPAC meeting at which he spoke in 3/2/2007.

But in the end, we also know that we should never seek to dictate what is best for the Israelis and their security interests. No Israeli Prime Minister should ever feel dragged to or blocked from the negotiating table by the United States. |
Obama gives speeches based on his audience. He said some more rattling stuff as far as I understood - attacking Israel by saying the Holocaust was bad but so is occupying Palestine. In another Thread someone was saying he was Muslim (he is confessed Christian), but sometimes you have to wonder.
