Hi, Lebesque
Just because Louis Farrakhan, who likes Obama, is anti-Semitic, and just because Obamas pastor makes comments that sound anti-Semitic (Unfortunately, the New Testament is sprinkled with anti-Semitic-sounding things); that doesnt mean that Obama is anti-Semitic.
Jimmy Carter has said, and I agree, that the U.S. extreme favoritism toward Israel in the peace process makes us impede progress instead of acting as an effective mediator. At the same time, Americans are in denial and have their heads buried in the sand about the way overt and covert U.S. foreign policy oppresses the Arab/Muslim world on the behalf of our Oil industry. Barack Obama will not pursue that same kind of foreign policy, therefore he will be branded as anti-Semitic in some political circles in the U.S.
I dont know what you mean about trusting Obama regarding Israel, but if you prefer the present extreme favoritism for Israel and dont see any problem in how we treat the Arab world, then you probably would prefer McCain to Obama. But I think McCain would eventually disappoint you in other ways. We are all going to have to think bigger than just one issue in this election.
My wife is also a Clinton supporter because she is Hispanic. There is a political rivalry between Blacks and Hispanics that regrettably, and I think unwisely makes Hispanics not trust Barack Obama. As I said, we all need to think bigger this time.
By the way, Shabbat Shalom!![]()
I see your point. I am a Zionist and I believe that it is G-d's will for Israel to exist.
Yes, the Arabs should be treated fairly. Israel is entitled to EVERY SQUARE INCH of the land that G-d gave them, however.
I have done some more evaluation and I doubt that Obama is actually anti-Semitic. I will continue to support him then.
Almost all of the women I know support Hillary and the men support Obama. I think gender has a lot to do with who supports who in this.
Shabbat Shalom,
Lebesgue
