Obama's Mideast policies a concern

US and Israeli flagsAn investigative journalist based in Jerusalem believes Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama will try to shore up his Jewish support in the U.S. during his visit to Israel.         

 

Aaron Klein is the Jerusalem bureau chief for WorldNetDaily and author of Schmoozing with Terrorists: From Hollywood to the Holy Land, Jihadists Reveal their Global Plans to a Jew. He says Senator Obama (D-Illinois) will be closely watched by the Israeli media, as well as by Jewish voters in the U.S., during his Holy Land visit.

 

"There have been a lot of reports that Obama favors the Palestinian Authority a little more than Israel," notes Klein. "He's been tied to people like Rashid Khalidi, who's an anti-Israel professor at Columbia University. And he has relationships with people who are foes of Israel in Washington."

 

Klein believes the presidential hopeful is concerned about a recent poll which finds that only 50 percent of Jewish voters indicate they will vote for the Democrat. "American Jewish voters traditionally vote Democrat," the journalist points out. "Actually 80 percent of American Jews voted for Al Gore, [and] 83 percent voted for John Kerry -- so the figures that only 50 percent so far support Obama are quite staggering," he adds.

 

According to Klein, many Israelis are also concerned about Obama's stated policies concerning the Middle East.

  • "obama thinks he can negotiate with terrorists just like nevel chamberlain could negotiate with adolf hilter. chamberland return to London and exclaimed "PEACE IN OUR TIME" and a year later Britain was at war with Hitler and he was no longer pm."
  • "Obama's Mideast policy should be of great concern. He has never met a terrorist he doesn't like. Look at his friends, supporters and acquaintances. They are all terrorists like Bill Ayers, Al Qaida, Hammas and the list goes on and on and on. His associates tell volumes about him. Why would every terrorist organization be supporting him if he were not sympathetic to their cause? Just a few days after 9/11 Obama was justifying their actions in a speech so don't tell me he is good for America, he is an enemy of America and the American way of life."
