Barak Obama, Bad for the Jews

Of course we are tired of Clintons' lying and lynching machine. Of their cynicism and blatant corruption. This said, Barak Obama deserves some close look, especially when it comes to Jews and Israel.

Barack Obama's Middle East Expert

By Ed Lasky
                              Barack Obama's real thinking about Israel and the Middle East continues to be an enigma. The words he chose  in an address to AIPAC create a different impression than the composition of his foreign policy advisory team. Several advisors have evidenced a history of suspicion and worse toward Israel. One of his advisors in particular, Robert Malley, clearly warrants attention, as does the reasoning that led him to being chosen by Barack Obama.

A little family history may be in order to understand the genesis of Robert Malley's views. Normally, one should be reluctant in exploring a person's family background -- after all, who would want to be held responsible for the sins of one's father? However, when close relatives share a strong current of ideological affinity, and when a father has a commanding persona, it behooves a researcher to inquire a bit into the role of family in forming views. That said, Robert Malley has a very interesting father.

His father Simon Malley was born to a Syrian family in Cairo and at an early age found his métier in political journalism. He participated in the wave of anti-imperialist and nationalist ideology that was sweeping the Third World. He wrote thousands of words in support of struggle against Western nations. In Paris, he founded the journal Afrique Asie; he and his magazine became advocates for "liberation" struggles throughout the world, particularly for the Palestinians.

Simon Malley loathed Israel and anti-Israel activism became a crusade for him-as an internet search would easily show. He spent countless hours with Yasser Arafat and became a close friend of Arafat.   He was, according to Daniel Pipes, a sympathizer of the Palestinian Liberation Organization --- and this was when it was at the height of its terrorism wave against the West  . His efforts were so damaging to France that President Valerie d'Estaing expelled him from the country.

Malley has seemingly followed in his father's footsteps: he represents the next generation of anti-Israel activism. Through his writings he has served as a willing propagandist, bending the truth (and more) to serve an agenda that is marked by anti-Israel bias; he heads a group of Middle East policy advisers for a think-tank funded (in part) by anti-Israel billionaire activist George Soros; and now is on the foreign policy staff of a leading Presidential contender. Each step up the ladder seems to be a step closer towards his goal of empowering radicals and weakening the ties between American and our ally Israel. [read the rest]

We do not imply that the statements below are linked or inspired by Obama's campaign. But, still, here is how some of his supporters reacted to us mentioning that he was raised as a Muslim.

Here is one:                                     

A new comment from “Jody Parker” was received on the post “Barack Hussein Obama raised as a Muslim” of the weblog “Jewish Russian Telegraph”.

Can you imagine the firestorm if somebody found some Jewish blood in a Catholic candidate and wrote this kind of piece? Jews make me sick. You are hypocrites and scoundrels - and you will all get what you deserve when those 1.6 billion Muslims begin to flex their sovereign wealth muscles. Next time - REAL ovens

Question to our Democratic Jewish brethren: Are you sure that you are in the right crowd?

I read some of the comments following the article "Barack Obama's Middle East Expert". One of the comments that was referred to - that of Jodi Parker of Loyola. I would not go so far as to call her the "B" word but her end comments "and you will all get what you deserve when those 1.6 billion Muslims begin to flex their sovereign wealth muscles. Next time - REAL ovens" makes the hair rise in the back on my head. It's because of "thinkers" like her that we have the society we have today. Unfortunately, many university students are being dragged in the mainstream when it comes to politics. Her comments are dangerous because little does she realize that this is just about to happen to our western society if we continue to have an open door policy for those people. The damage is already done in some european countries, with the result that they have seen their culture invaded and cannot go back. One more thing, has anyone heard Mr. Obama's victory speech in Richmond last night (feb. 9, 2008). Sounded pretty close to dictatorship if you ask me!! To top it off, how should we take his annoucement a few weeks ago that he had been endorsed by one of the biggest workers' union in the US. One might long for the good old days in the long run...

80 lawyers, who represent Guantanamo terrorists pro bono,
announced that they support Obama for president.
Draw your own conclusion.

OK Jody Parker is a fuckin bitch for being jealous that there are a lot of successful Jews out there. Get over it, as Darwin said its the "survival of the fittest" and I guess your just mad that your not the best out there and thats what makes people from other countries talk about how Americans are so nasty and selfish. Its because we have people like you Jodi Parker!

Unusual (?) comment from Jody Parker JPD@loyno.edu from Loyola University http://www.loyno.edu/. The motto of this university is: "thinking critacally acting justly". I do not think Jody is getting her money worth. I'll contact the university and tell them that they have a problem with their teaching methods. Can Jody be a professor there?

I think we all should do this.

And Fred Thompson from fredt@usa.gov . What part of our governement does he represent? The anti-discrimination division?
