A Messianic Jewish leader and Israel supporter is outraged that an Obama website recently published an article comparing Israelis to Nazis.
According to the Israeli news service Arutz Sheva (IsraelNationalNews.com), Organizing for America -- the political arm of President Barack Obama -- recently carried an entry on its website from ultra-left-wing professor Richard Falk. Falk, reportedly a supporter of Ayatollah Khomeini's 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran, was once deported from Israel for statements he made comparing Israeli treatment of the Palestinians to the Holocaust. The Israeli news service says Organizing for America published an article by Falk which said: "Comparing the present-day Israel with Nazi Germany, one discovers that the majority of the Israeli policies are exact copies of the Nazi policies." Jan Markell, founder and director of Olive Tree Ministries, says it is an absolute outrage that a website with direct ties to the president would allow Falk's comments to be printed. "This is a further indication that Barack Obama wants to do nothing but throw Israel under the bus and destroy her as a nation," says the ministry leader. "He loathes the nation of Israel; he is trying to destroy her." And Markell says Falk's comparison of Israel to the Nazi's is ridiculous. "When you stop and think what the Nazis did -- and you try to [equate that with] the Israelis, who have taken better care of the Palestinians than the Arabs do -- you can see how absolutely totally ludicrous this is and how dangerous it is," she asserts. Markell fears that if Falk's comments indeed reflect the sentiments of the president, the United States is in for a judgment beyond which it has ever known.
