One thing you have to say about Obama: he is consistent in his relentless, sick and fanatical hatred for Israel. All his appointments and associates — Samantha Power, Robert Malley, Zbigniew Brzezinski — show that, and here is another. Dr. Sandra (Sandy) Black, an economics professor at the University of Texas at Austin, has been appointed to Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers, and will work out of the White House.
She loves Noam Chomsky and is another pro-BDS, self-hating Jew. Her husband, Patrick Youngblood, is a radical with extremist views — he is executive director of the radical anti-Israel group Third Coast Activist.

Here is a thread from Facebook last year in which Black makes her hate-filled anti-Israel views abundantly clear, as she uncritically repeats Noam Chomsky’s pro-jihad “Palestinian” propaganda:
Sorry to get political, but this whole situation is so awful and I think it is important to remember the context for what is happening. My thoughts are with my friends and family who are there, sending lots of love.
Z Communications Daily Commentary
At 3am Gaza time, July 9, in the midst of Israel’s latest exercise in savagery, I received a phone call from a young Palestinian journalist in Gaza. In the background, I could hear his infant child wailing, amidst the sounds of explosions and jet planes, targeting any civilian who moves, and homes as well. He just saw a friend of his in a car clearly marked “press” blown away. And he heard shrieks next door after an explosion but can’t go outside or he’ll be a likely target. This is a quiet neighborhood, no military targets – except Palestinians who are fair game for Israel’s high tech US-supplied military machine. He said that 70% of the ambulances have been destroyed, and that by then over 70 had been killed, and of the 300 or so wounded, about 2/3 women and children. Few Hamas activists have been hit – or rocket launching sites. Just the usual victims.
It is important to understand what life is like in Gaza when Israel’s behavior is “restrained,” in between the regular manufactured crises like this one. A good sense is given in a report to UNRWA by Mads Gilbert, the courageous and expert Norwegian physician who has worked extensively in Gaza, also throughout the vicious and murderous Cast Lead operation. In every respect, the situation is disastrous. Just keeping to children, Gilbert reports: “Palestinian children in Gaza are suffering immensely. A large proportion are affected by the man-made malnourishment regime caused by the Israeli imposed blockage. Prevalence of anaemia in children <2yrs in Gaza is at 72.8%, while prevalence of wasting, stunting, underweight have been documented at 34.3%, 31.4%, 31.45% respectively.” And it gets worse as the report proceeds.
When Israel is on “good behavior,” more than two Palestinian children are killed every week, a pattern that goes back over 14 years. The underlying cause is the criminal occupation and the programs to reduce Palestinian life to bare survival in Gaza, while Palestinians are restricted to unviable cantons in the West Bank and Israel takes over what it wants, all in gross violation of international law and explicit Security Council resolutions, not to speak of minimal decency. And it will continue as long as it is supported by Washington and tolerated by Europe – to our everlasting shame.
Jennifer Block Bennett One issue is that Hamas lives in Palestine. Their actions put all Palestinian people at risk. How to separate the two when Hamas incites violence?
Sandy Black YoungbloodJennifer Block Bennett, I think the problem is that the occupation cultivates an environment of opposition that unfortunately includes groups like Hamas. It doesn’t excuse the behavior of Hamas in any way, but it is important to remember the context that created the situation. And I don’t think the solution is harsher occupation. I think that is what Chomsky is trying to say.
Staci Light Recanati Israel disengaged from Gaza in 2005. Since then Hamas has continued to terrorize both Israelis and Palestinians. More than 8,000 rockets launched at Israeli civilians (including Israeli Arabs) and thousands of senseless murders of fellow Gazans — human shields, anti- Fatah and of course general terrorizing of those who don’t agree with their war mongering.
Katherine Huss Sandy I love you but Noam Chomsky is hardly the unbiased oracle of the Middle East. He is a self loathing Jew. It’s one thing for him to have his own political views but to be part of the intelligentsia deme grating the whole political situation lends credence to inherent bias in the media towards the Israeli people and the right of Israel to exist. Israel has a right to defend itself.
Sandy Black YoungbloodKatherine Huss, I love you too, although I am certain we don’t agree on this! I don’t think Noam Chomsky is a self-loathing Jew (nor am I). Israel is not equal to Jewish, and I find it very frustrating when people equate the two…there are many Jewish people who are against the Israeli occupation of Palestine (and even many Israelis I met when I was there!) I am not sure how much of Noam Chomsky you have read, but I find his arguments to be very sound.
Erdal Tekin Collective punishment of an entire nation with disproportionate use of massive force is not self-defense. Gaza is the world’s largest open prison stuffed with more than a million people, deprived of their basic human rights for years forced to live in humiliation everyday.
Orit Whiteman You are welcome to come visit and sit with me and my toddlers in the shelter in tel aviv . We are bombed constantly here!!!! Major population is the target. Thank god for our superb armi and defense!
Not apologizing for defending ourselves. Terror is wrong! Unfortunately casualties on both sides are still mourned more on this side of the border!
Orit Whiteman Under siege, open air prison….
Hopeless….
And yet they manage to get thousands of rockets in!
I for one wish they had used their money to build hospitals, so that they don’t have to depend on ours, decent education, and not mainly terror camps,
Infrastructures… And not just tunnels to smuggle weapons and to use as rockets loungers.
Erdal Tekin I am very sorry for horror and terrible suffering that innocent people on both sides have to go through. I am also genuinely happy that you have at least a shelter to protect yourself and your family.
Unfortunately, the people in this video didn’t have a shelter or the superb army that you seem to be very proud of… Be safe…
Orit Whiteman Very proud to be safe indeed!!!!! And keep my kids out of this madness to the very very best of my abilities!
Are you safe tonight?
Do you feel like apologizing for it?…See More
Orit Whiteman Occupation… Settlements…..
Oppression….
Does anybody still remember the ongoing attacks on Jews here before those words even entered our vocabulary?
If not… I can share some stories from pre 1948…
Because it seems to me people really believe this whole thing started in 67…..
Eric Gazin Sandy, Israel completely left Gaza in 2005. People there voted in Hamas. Hamas does not want peace with Israel. They do not want a 2 state solution. Why should Israel allow its enemies to attack it and not fight back? Hamas you must know is telling its people to stay in their homes and ignore Israeli warnings to leave in order to drive up the number of deaths they can exploit.
Kevin Langton We all have the right to do more than ‘exist’, as some put it. With the many pressures of life, (ours in the west somewhat insignificant compared to those elsewhere) many of us are denied the right to just be. No-one has the right to do what Israel does. (or America, or Europe, for that matter – all in the name of so-called freedom). I understand that there may of course be many of us who don’t agree with what our corporate sponsored ‘leaders’ are doing – maybe one day we can bring about the required change. Now ( or yesterday!) would not be too soon.
In 2005, the Jewish settlements in Gaza (not the West Bank) were evacuated. However, this just changed he nature of the occupation, it did not end it. Gaza did not then become an independent country by any normal definition. Israel still controls the borders and the airspace, thus controlling everything–people and goods–that move in or out of Gaza. There is no freedom to move or trade.
Meanwhile, Israel actually expanded their settlements in the West Bank.
The point of my post is to highlight that this current situation did not arise in a vacuum–it is important to understand the events that led us to where we are.
To consider the context is not the same thing as excusing all the actions that result.
A couple of sources I think are valuable are merip.org, the Middle East Research and Information Project–they have a great primer on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict–or Btselem.org, an Israeli Human Rights Organization.
Orit Whiteman Btselem is considered by most level headed, middle of the road israelis as an extreme biased loony organization! Just FYI.
Israel has, thank god!!!’ Completely left gaza and there is nothing Misleading about that.
It is unfortunate the residence there cannot be trusted, therefore what is brought in needs to be monitored.
Despite monitoring (it comes in through the Ashdod port) they still invest ALL their energies bringing in weapons and not much else for their own people.
This is heart breaking!!!!!!!
I am not sure what more Israel can or is expected to do.
We DO supply food, electricity, concrete, money, water and all other needs.
Their wounded, end up (especially the kids) in the hospital next to my parents home. We know cos my mom volunteers there. They are treated by Israeli drs like any other patient!!!! (Shel we try the other way around? An Israeli ending up on the other side???)
What is happening in Gaza is horrible and sad. I also know people there and had friends from there. I am so
Sad for all of them. No one wants them to be prosperous and happy more than israelis… (Think about that for a moment) But I feel the expectations from Israel are unrealistic.
Our first responsibility is to protect our people. (Not land, soil, or anything/ anybody else)
We are doing above and beyond for the people of gaza.
Everyone recognizes their miserable situation….
What can the world do now?
And what can they world do to monitor that the money and support they get goes toward building and improving the life of Palestinians and not ONLY
Towards the destruction of Israel?
If you all put your great
Minds and help figure out a SOLUTION to this horrible situation, there is a chance we will someday be better off.
But the endless criticism of a tiny country doing the best we can to have a normal
Life is annoying, ignorant, not helpful, and very frustrating.
What needs to be achieved?
Palestinians acceptance that we are here to stay, as a Jewish state!
Once they stop violently fighting that…. Believe me…. Things will look ver very different.
Let’s start with that…….
Eric Gazin Hi Sandy, what mistakes do you feel Hamas has made? Do you blame them for deliberately increasing the numbers of their people’s death? Do you believe if Israel went back to the 1967 borders that Hamas and other militant Palestinian factions would give up their desire to destroy Israel and kill as many Jews as possible? Here is Hamas in their own words: Hamas Spokesperson: “We Are Leading Our People to…: http://youtu.be/EXxAdzSHyC4
Hamas spokesperson, Sami Abu Zuhri, says of Hamas’ policy during Operation Prote ctive Edge: “We aren’t leading our people today to destruction. We are leadin…
News: With multi-million-dollar land deals, luxury villas and black market fuel from Egypt, Gaza’s rulers made billions while the rest of the population struggled with 38-percent poverty and 40-percent unemployment.

hussein obama AKA barry soetoro the satanic muslim is working for satan toward the destruction of Israel, paving the way for the anti-Christ to come to power and subdue the world. This is all part of satan’s plan and it’s going to work for a LITTLE while, but will not be successful! satan’s time is short, and growing shorter each and every day but until that day comes, expect things to only grow worse and worse. You “aint seen nothing yet”…. Even so Come back quickly Lord Jesus!

How to handle these self-righteous pampered Jewish princesses is one of our biggest problems. It feels so good to them to be heroes in a fantasy world it prevents them from seeing the real world. Their selfish indulgence in the pleasures of moral superiority about one tree, blinds them to the moral inferiority of the forest.

Sorry to be so slow, but what is “BDS”? Did I miss its definition, above?
Exactly as we *should* be doing with China, Iran, et. al. Good grief!

The article mentions Black’s admiration of Noam Chomsky. Here is one of the clearest examples that Chomsky is human, and his opinions (and that is exactly what they are) should not be accepted uncritically. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD8Eghw1Bik

Obama is an Evil Manipulator
8 years ago
This is what Obama does. He is a manipulator.
He will only hire Jews that share his hatred of Israel and ideological view under the guise of showing the world he hires Jews.
His administration is entirely made up of people who think like Obama will a vegeance and ignorance and hate towards Israel.
Obama and his sick left-wing Jews show no mercy towards Israels victims of terror.
Obama will never hire a Jew who can think for themself or share a different opinion than Obama.
All his associates are always from the Left. Always anti-Christian. Always anti-Jewish. Always racially atuned.

It is unbelievable this woman holds a PhD! Try original source document research. Read the Charter of both the PLO and HAMAS, discover they are not old crusty documents but reaffirmed at least weekly if not daily. Look at how Gazans lIve and then look at how HAMAS lives at their various residences & villas. Perform some type of audit of the their income from other countries and how much goes to running and improving Gaza’s infrastructure, education. They have many wealthy donors contributing significant sums. You will quickly discover that the numbers don’t add up. The Euros and Dollars evaporate and can’t be found. Shipments of cement in mega-quantities go misusing or are sold to contractors who resell back. You must have a degree of intelligence to figure all this out if you earned a PhD or is that Leftist thing getting in the way.

Obama is like a petulant child. He should be running a small village in Kenya, not the U.S. of A. His ONLY experience in the real world was as a racially-based community organizer. His efforts in this capacity was concerned with black issues, and only black issues. He was first elected to public office by the black voters in Illinois over the issue of racial profiling of blacks which he vowed to stop.
How is he fit to run the most powerful nation on earth and make life-or-death decisions over the fate of nations? Think about that for a minute.
Your final question should be asked of the 69,498,516 USA citizens (52.93% of the voters) who voted for Barack Obama.
Sandy & Obama - Two Sociopaths

Jewish Senators should be hounded out of office by their Jewish constituents if they do like Jews did in WWII, when Jews did nothing to protect the millions who died in the Holocaust. This time it would be a quicker Nuclear Holocaust and millions of Jews perish in seconds.
Sandy Black Youngblood should visit Ilan Halimi’s mother in France, Shelley Dadon father, the Fogle family child survivors, Eitan Attias’s mother, Tomer Hazan’s father in Israel. There are Jews all murdered and tortured by Muslims and Palestinians.
Did Sandy also meet Israeli victims of terror in her visit to Israel? No of course not. The left-wing sociopaths pretend they don’t exist. Life must be easier when you don’t have a conscience.
