Barack Obama’s Arafat blunder is an embarrassment for the leader of the free world

[Rion]

It is simply astonishing that the leader of the free world would agree to speak against a backdrop of a murderous terrorist with American and Israeli blood on his hands. What kind of message does this send to America’s enemies when the president of the United States gives a press conference standing in front of a banner celebrating one of the most brutal terrorists in history? It projects a clear signal that Washington is weak in the face of terrorism, and it is an insult to the memory of those who died at the hands of Arafat’s terror network.

Was it a blunder, though? I only ask because when Barry visited Georgetown in April of '09, Obama's staff made them cover up the backdrop because it showed the symbol of the Jesuits, which includes "IHS" (which stands for Jesus). So why didn't they catch this?

Oh, and Obama's unblocked 500 Million for Palestine that had been frozen by congress.

As nit picky the administration is I somehow doubt this was a mistake.

I don't think anybody believes it was a mistake. He'll simply say nothing about it and it will be done.

It is a shame that he meets with the Israeli terrorists and gives them billions to kill Christians in Palestine, and soon in Lebanon, like they have done so many times.

Arafat was a darling compared to any of the Israeli terrorist leaders.

Well I kind of agree with you. Israel also has much American blood on it's hands, yet that is not made a very big deal. I think we should hold both sides accountable. Israel should probably be held to a higher level of accountability due to the amount of support/money/treaties we give to them.

It is a load of bull to say that America gives Israeli terrorists billions to kill Christians in Palestine.

Israel doesn;t receive a dime of money earmarked to kill Christians in Palestine. Even if I believed Obama was a Muslim, and not a Christian, it is bullplop to say that he is giving Israel even a dime specifically to kill Christians in Palestine.
I mean <expletive> Goebbells even had more shame than to create that kind of over the top claim.

Maybe it wasn't a mstake and maybe Obama sees no reason to be embarrassed

Remembering your previous comment:

Spare me the faux outrage. You all know I was being silly. I post here enough for people to know that most of my posts are not to be taken serious.

Excellent news. I'll be sure to write an email to Obama thanking him for his wise actions.

Utter garbage...or in Sols words, 'total bull'...straight from the Pit.

Fortunately most people even if they are not kindly disposed towards Israel at present, will see these lying words as the poisonous snake venom they are and tread them out of sight.

Hmm, it must be snowing in Hell, because I totally agree with Creech for once.

Well said Touma, hopefully, more and more Christians will continue to wake up to the wickedness in the Israeli regime.

It was not mistake.
This is what America is now.

 

[theblockiswarm]

America is the most brutal terrorist in history

 

[Vylo]

We should draw up 2 state borders and pay for the relocation of israeli/palestinians where needed. Would be a better investment the billions we send israel now and the millions we send palestinians.

 

[Zeek]

Well said Touma, hopefully, more and more Christians will continue to wake up to the wickedness in the Israeli regime.

Well it is certainly time for Christians to wake up to what is going on in Israel, but hopefully they will consider a far better, less hateful lying narrative than the one you endorse here.

Indeed, the narrative I'd prefer would involve Netanyahu's impeachment and arraignment in the International Criminal Court and the election of a leader willing to make peace and give Palestine back it's lands.

Wouldnt this be the decison of elected and appointed officials within the Israeli government?

Care to have a stab at what specific land that the Palestinian Arabs actually owned has been grabbed from them...apart from areas that have been lost due to defensive battles by Israel.

The way some people talk about Palestinian land loss one would think they must have had a vast and wealthy empire...but for the most part we are talking of small subsistence communities or nomadic tribes who worked the land but didn't own it...they were very very poor.

 

[SolomonVII]

The territories are not occupied. They are disputed, and the fitting subject to negotiation. Until one of the terms of Hamas and the other legitimately elected representatives take the destruction of the Jewish state of Israel off the table, or more correctly put it on the table as something that they are willing to concede for a land deal, all talks about land deals are premature.

Israel is able to live with the status quo until that time comes. For the Palestinians, there is always the welfare support coming from the international community.
