OBAMA: ISRAEL “INFECTS” US FOREIGN POLICY
By Judith A. Klinghoffer (bio)

Obama found the perfect court Jew to whom to give a Moyerlike interview on his views on Israel. Still, he tripped.

Jeff Goldberg:— Do you think that Israel is a drag on America’s reputation overseas?Barack Obama:— No, no, no. But what I think is that this constant wound, that this constant sore, does infect all of our foreign policy. . . .

Doug Rose notes how reminiscent his “infection” remark is to those of Ahmadinejad and Hitler.

Ahmadinejad:

In yet another verbal attack against Israel, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called the Jewish state a “filthy bacteria” whose sole purpose was to oppress the other nations of the region.”The world powers established this filthy bacteria, the Zionist regime, which is lashing out at the nations in the region like a wild beast,” the Iranian president told supporters at a rally in southern Iran.

Hitler:

Against the infection of materialism, against the Jewish pestilence we must hold aloft a flaming ideal. And if others speak of the World and Humanity we say the Fatherland - and only the Fatherland.

I know he did not mean it. It is simply that he is imbued with this type of thinking.

That is the reason I would urge you to Stop Believing Obama’s platitudes. Money quote:

SO IS IT REALLY a stretch to wonder whether Obama would eventually support talks with the terrorist group, despite his public pronouncements to the contrary?This is not a theoretical matter. Ahmed Yousef, the same Hamas adviser who said that the terrorist group supports Obama, wrote a Washington Post op-ed last June arguing for engagement with Hamas.

The group is obviously embarking on a strategy, similar to the one Arafat pursued during the Oslo peace process, of making public overtures of peace abroad, duping naive Western leaders into granting them legitimacy and the financial aid that comes along with it, while continuing to support terrorism at home. Clearly, Hamas views Obama as an easy mark.
