We have found yet another Israel supporter among those who we previously thought hated Israel. And, this time, it is none other than the Democratic Candidate for President of the United States, Barack Obama.
Yes, I believe this is a man the counter-Jihad movement could align itself with:
NPR: Illinois Sen. Barack Obama delivered a speech on Wednesday, June 4, before the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. The speech comes the day after he secured enough delegates to clinch the Democratic nomination...
In these prepared remarks provided by his campaign, Obama tries to allay doubts that some Jewish voters have expressed about his candidacy...
For a skilled politician capable of evading concrete positions, Obama's speech was characterized by an unprecidented series of fabrications, gyroscopic spin, and outright lies. Recall that Barack Obama spent two decades attending a church that supported Hamas, attacked Jews and repeatedly honored Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.
Now compare and contrast:
Obama at AIPAC:
...I will ensure that Israel can defend itself from any threat — from Gaza to Tehran... First, we must approve the foreign aid request for 2009. Going forward, we can enhance our cooperation on missile defense. We should export military equipment to our ally Israel under the same guidelines as NATO...
Lie. Obama opposes all missile defense technology.
Obama at AIPAC:
There is no greater threat to Israel — or to the peace and stability of the region — than Iran... while I don't want to strike too partisan a note here today, I do want to address some willful mischaracterizations of my positions.
Lie. Barack Obama told a crowd of 75,000 last month that Iran is not a threat.
Obama at AIPAC:
The Iranian regime supports violent extremists and challenges us across the region. It pursues a nuclear capability that could spark a dangerous arms race and raise the prospect of a transfer of nuclear know-how to terrorists. Its president denies the Holocaust and threatens to wipe Israel off the map. The danger from Iran is grave, it is real, and my goal will be to eliminate this threat.
Lie. In September 2007, a bipartisan effort in the Senate passed the Kyl-Lieberman resolution designating the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization. Obama vehemently opposed this effort and used the opportunity as a political tool to attack Hillary Clinton. Obama rewrites history by pretending his opposition to Kyl-Lieberman never happened, When given a chance to fight Iran's support of terror, Obama instead worked against the bipartisan effort to increase the economic pressure on the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
