Obama’s anti-Israel ‘hot mic’ moment

By Ed Lasky

April 6, 2012

Anti-Israel activist Ali Abunimah in 2008 

“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.

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 primary 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!”

But Obama’s gradual shift into the AIPAC camp had begun as early as 2002 as he planned his move from small time Illinois politics to the national scene. In 2003, Forward reported on how he had “been courting the pro-Israel constituency.”

As Charles Krauthammer and others have warned: Obama’s second term will likely be one where Israel is pressured as never before by an American administration (and I might add, Iran is ignored, the Muslim Brotherhood continues to be welcomed at the WH, etc).

DEM SENATORIAL CANDIDATE CALLS OPPONENT A ‘WHORE’ ‘WHO SELLS HIS SOUL TO AIPAC’ DURING LIVE TV DEBATE

Excerpt:

Politics can be an ugly “sport.” On Thursday, this point was proven when the Democratic contest surrounding Connecticut’s U.S. Senate seat became so heated that Lee Whitnum, one of the lesser-known contenders, called opponent Congressman Chris Murphy a “whore.”

During a live, televised debate, Whitnum unleashed on her opponent, taking particular aim at his pro-Israel stance.

“I’m dealing with a whore here who sells his soul to AIPAC [The American Israel Public Affairs Committee], who will say anything for the job,” she said.

Whitnum also called opponent William Tong, a Connecticut state representative, “ignorant” during her tirade, which was part of the debate’s closing statements.

Murphy responded, saying, “I’ve advocated for the candidates to be part of these debates. I might think twice about that with that kind of awful language being used on the airwaves.”

Here’s how the Associated Press described the incident that unfolded at the Democratic debate:

Murphy, former Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz, state Rep. William Tong and Matthew Oakes each expressed disgust over the comments made by Lee Whitnum, a vocal critic of U.S. aid to Israel…

The five are vying for the party’s endorsement and ultimately to fill the seat being vacated by the retiring Sen. Joe Lieberman, an independent.

WHO is talking in Obama’s ear about the Palestinians and the Israelis?  Rashid Khalidi? Samantha Power? Both are Anti-Israel and Pro-Palestinian statehood.

Samatha Power (one of Obama’s foreign policy advisors), is married to Obama Czar Cass Sunstein and is close friends to Mary Robinson who sponsored the first Durban conference (anti-Israel).

Obama even garnished Mary Robinson with a Medal of Freedom.  Read about Mary Robinson HERE……

Obama Admin Scolds Israel: Get Back To The “Damn” Negotiating Table, Warns Against Attacking Iran…

From Weasel Zippers:

Obama Admin Scolds Israel: Get Back To The “Damn” Negotiating Table, Warns Against Attacking Iran…

And yet Dems and liberal pundits will swear up and down Obama is pro-Israel

(Reuters) — Defense Secretary Leon Panetta urged Israel on Friday to get back to the “damn” negotiating table with Palestinians and take steps to address what he described as the Jewish state’s growing isolation in the Middle East.

Panetta, addressing a forum in Washington, also made one of his most extensive arguments to date against any imminent military action against Iran over its nuclear program, saying he was convinced that sanctions and diplomatic pressure were working.

“You always have the last resort . . . of military action. But it must be the last resort, not the first,” Panetta said.

Militarily strong, Israel is battling a diplomatic storm as Arab uprisings upset once-stable relationships in the Middle East. But Panetta warned Israel against viewing uprisings like the one in Egypt that toppled president Hosni Mubarak as an excuse to enter a defensive crouch

============================

Is Leon Panetta THAT DUMB to think that is what the Palestinians and the Arab world really want?

Is Leon Panetta a fellow traveler and sympathizer of the Communist Party?  Did Congress actually  fully vet Panetta  before allowing him to head the CIA and then be the Secretary of Defense?

Are Rashid Khalidi and Samantha Powers pushing Obama into forcing Israel to make a commitment that is against Israel’s sovereignty?
