MORE JEW HATE OUT OF OBAMA CAMP

As Obama half heartedly attempts to assuage the fears of the Jews, his betrayal is obvious. Show me your advisers and I’ll show you who you are. This is a disaster.

Obama Advisor Accuses Jews of ‘McCarthyism’ American Thinker

A foreign policy adviser of presidential candidate Barack Obama, Zbigniew
Brzezinski, accused members of the American Jewish establishment of
"McCarthyism" in its attitude towards critics
of Israel.
He called the pro-Israel lobby "too powerful" and accused American supporters of
Israel as being too ready to use the slur of "anti-Semitism" against critics of
Israel.

He also misrepresented the facts, stating that AIPAC, the
American-Israel Public Affairs Committee has "consistently opposed a two-state
solution and a lot of members of Congress have been intimidated and I don’t
think that is healthy". In fact, AIPAC does indeed support a two state solution.
Congressmen Artur Davis (a Democrat) and Eric Cantor ( a Republican) are just two
critics who have refuted the allegation that Congress is intimidated or
pressured by the "Israel Lobby" . He offered further criticism   

It’s not unique to the Jewish community — but there is a
McCarthy-ite tendency among some people in the Jewish community. They operate
not by arguing but by slandering, vilifying, demonising.

They very
promptly wheel out anti-Semitism. There is an element of paranoia in this
inclination to view any serious attempt at a compromised peace as somehow
directed against Israel."

Brzezinski has
wholeheartedly endorsed Barack Obama for President and was one of the first well
known foreign policy experts to do so. Barack Obama has also been very
forthright in his praise of Brzezinski as "someone I have learned an immense
amount from", and "one of our most outstanding scholars and thinkers".

American supporters of Israel have
expressed concern in the past regarding the involvement of Brzezinski in
Barack Obama’s campaign  and some have called for the Obama campaign to separate
itself from Brzezinski..

He has long been one of Israel’s fiercest
critics in America. He has also been an outspoken supporter of Stephen Walt and
John Mearsheimer whose book on the putative "Israel Lobby" has been roundly
faulted across the political spectrum for its factual flaws and bias (indeed, a
Washington
Post op-ed called it "anti-Semitic."). American Thinker was among the first
to offer its readers its own analysis of the working paper upon which provided
the genesis of the book, written by myself
and my colleague Richard Baehr.   

Brzezinski is just one of several
experts and advisers who are close to Barack Obama who have concerned American
supporters of Israel. Robert Malley was recently forced to separate
himself from the campaign due to his pro-Palestinian views.  American
Thinker has just been one of many
critics of Malley and questioned his role in the campaign. Samantha Power
was Obama’s top foreign policy adviser. She also was recently forced to "resign"
from the campaign and was a fierce critic of Israel who had an array of
ideas regarding America’s approach towards the Middle East that took a very
harsh view of Israel and the American-Israel relationship. She also was critical
of American Jews stating that criticism of Barack Obama all involved "what
is good for the Jews" .

Obama campaign co-chairman and top military
adviser Merrill "Tony" McCpeak has "echoed" the views of Walt and Mearsheimer
regarding the influence of
American Jews in the foreign policy debate. During an interview he was
asked about the source of the failures of the peace process in the Middle
East. The interviewer asked McPeak: "So where’s the problem? State? White
House?"

McPeak replied: "New York City. Miami. We have a large vote —
vote, here in favor of Israel. And no politician wants to run against it."   

As journalist Robert Goldberg wrote in the American
Spectator, McPeak also claims that a combination of Jews and Christian
Zionists are manipulating U.S. policy in Iraq in dangerous and radical ways:
"Let’s say that one of your abiding concerns is the security of Israel as
opposed to a purely American self-interest, then it would make sense to build a
dozen or so bases in Iraq. Let’s say you are a born-again Christian and you
think that Armageddon and the rapture are about to happen any minute and what
you want to do is retrace steps you think are laid out in Revelations, then it
makes sense. So there are a number of scenarios here that could lead you in this
direction. This is radical…."   

Of course, Pastor Jeremiah Wright-who
Barack Obama has called his "moral compass", "sounding board" and
"confidant" and whom he has had a twenty-year relationship with-has views
towards America, white people, and Israel that are similarly problematic, if not
scathing,

American Thinker has been in the forefront of expressing
qualms about the candidacy of Barack Obama for President. An increasingly large
number of experts, journalists, analysts, media outlets and-most
importantly-voters have also called into question the views and readiness of
office of Senator Obama. Zbigniew Brzezinski’s latest outburst will only further
stoke concerns about Obama’s views and the problematic views of his closest
advisers towards not just Israel, but also American Jews.

It’s all bad. Obama is not the American candidate – he is the candidate of the enemy.
