After his disastrous speech Thursday, Obama went to AIPAC to try to reassure Jews and all supporters of Israel. However, Pamela Geller was not reassured:
Obama’s declaration that the U.S./Israel relationship was ironclad does not reassure me. I am dubious about Obama’s promise. Obama’s idea of ironclad is sketchy at best. After all, in 2008 Obama vowed at the AIPAC conference that Jerusalem would remain the undivided capital of the state of Israel if he was elected. He walked back on that promise the next day. In 2009 at Cairo University (with the Muslim Brotherhood in attendance at his invitation), he called on Israel to stop all the settlement activity, and created a crisis in US/Israel relations when Israel approved 1600 houses in Jerusalem. And of course last week, Obama caused fright and worry amongst freedom-loving peoples when he endorsed the Auschwitz borders. I am glad that he said that the UN won’t create “Palestine,” and while this is elemental, with Obama, you gotta be happy with any crumb. When he said that Israel’s isolation in the international arena won’t be sanctioned or tolerated, he did not expand upon that. So while his propaganda ministers will spin this for the Jewish campaign dollar, when you really look at it, it’s a lot of empty rhetoric. He used AIPAC today to reassure the Jews ……. and many bought the ruse.
