As expected, Barack Obama spoke of his unwavering support for Israel when he appeared before delegates at the AIPAC convention today in Washington, D.C. “As president I will never compromise when it comes to Israel’s security,” he said. But will he?
He has pledged to meet diplomatically with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has been explicitly denying the Holocaust and calling for Israel’s destruction for the past few years. But he also said something very interesting today: “we must maintain the isolation of Hamas and other extremists who are committed to Israel’s destruction.”
So, I ask you, Senator Obama, what about Ahmadinejad’s Iran does not scream for inclusion in this group of extremists you intend to isolate? You yourself said that Ahmadinejad’s regime is “one of the greatest threats to the United States, Israel, and world peace” and described him as “reckless” and “irresponsible.” Does his denial of the Holocaust and active pursuance of a nuclear weapon not classify him as an “extremist committed to Israel’s destruction”? Your own words described him as such. The bottom line is, meeting with Ahmadinejad, just like meeting with Hamas or Hizb’Allah, will give legitimacy to a terrorist group that should not have it. But you have failed to realize this.
So why meet with him? Read the rest of this entry ยป
Back OT….did Pres-elect Obama call anyone in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc? No? Well...
