An Open Letter to Barack Obama
An Open Letter to Barack Obama
We know who you are and who your friends are.
Barack, your visit here is just a waste of time; you're not wanted or needed here. We'll do just fine without you and you'll probably do better with out us, too. Don't come around here making as if you're looking out for the good of Israel. We know who you are and who your friends are. Zigzagging back and forth about dividing or un-dividing Jerusalem won't clear your history.
I'm not talking about your middle name. Any good Christian might have the middle name Hussein (although I can't think of any others). We won't hold that against you. There are worse things than having an Arab name; like for instance being supported by a known Jew-hater, bigot Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam, who among other statements has accused the Jews of bringing on the Holocaust through cooperation with Hitler - "They helped him get the Third Reich on the road." But, of course, it would be wrong to hold that against you, because you haven't been rallying for his support (recently).
We can't really blame you for the beliefs of Father Michael Pfleger, who embraces Black Liberation Theology, which claims that Jesus was Black - so the Jews have no claim to Israel and, therefore, the Muslims are the rightful heirs of the Holy Land. Those beliefs have nothing to do with you, aside from the fact that you have coined the man your "moral compass." But one must admit that Pfleger is not your only mentor and also is not alone in looking up to Farrakhan.
Your spiritual mentor is Reverend Jeremiah Wright, who has praised Jimmy Carter for denouncing Zionism. Last year, the Trumpet Newsmagazine of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ gave the Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award to Louis Farrakhan and said that he is a man who "truly epitomized greatness." You are a member of that Church and Jeremiah Wright is its leader and your spiritual adviser.
Now you won't go so far as to criticize Jimmy Carter, not even for meeting with the heads of Hamas, because, to paraphrase your words, "It's not your place to criticize him." That is, not until the next day, when you were seeking the support of Jewish leaders. Then you must have found a new place for criticism. Aren't the Jews great for giving a guy a new vision and a sense of self-confidence? Is that what you meant by, "It's time for change"?
Barack Hussein, we won't hold it against you. But can you tell us what you mean by supporting a Palestinian State along side Israel? Do you mean a replay of the ethnic cleansing of Jews from Gaza three years ago? Do you foresee soldiers carrying men, women and children away from their homes, which are to be demolished by bulldozers? Palestinian rule brought on the endless rocket fire on Sderot and the thousands of Jewish refugees who have yet to find permanent homes or means of a steady income. Is that your vision of a new hope that Farakkhan's Final Call website praises you for?
Barack Hussein, why don't you just go home? Your visit to Israel this week is not because you're looking out for the wellbeing of Israel and the Jewish people. You're coming to Israel looking for the Jewish vote; your goal is to
speak with the Jewish American voters through the press coverage of this tour to the holy land. You want them to think that you took the time off from your busy campaign to further peace in the Middle East. Your hope is that enough stupid Jews will misread the message and take it as an act of support for Israel.
Don't use us or our land as a photo-op to transmit a twisted call for support to Jewish-American voters. You don't fool us. We know who you and your friends are.
Barack Hussein, why don't you just go home? But on the way out, remember the words you heard here from the proud Jewish settlers in Judea and Samaria: "This is our land!" We are back after two thousand years of forced exile and we are not about to leave it again.
Wild Thing's comment........
I’d also like to have Barak go away; perhaps he could go back to Indonesia, or Kenya.
This is an excellent letter/ article.

Most definitely a great letter!
People have forgotten that this area was given to Israel by the UN after WW II. Now it's expected of them to give it back to the Palestinians! Sound vaguely like what we did to our own American Indians, doesn't it?
The Palestinians should just shut up and take it. They have to learn to live and work together. Religion shouldn't even be in the picture.
And to have Obamanation being buddies with those who claim either the Holocaust didn't happen or that the Jews were somehow to blame for it is totally out of line and makes him look very bad. It wasn't just Jews who died in those concentration camps. It was all of us--catholics, gays, anyone who wasn't White Anglo Saxon Protestant. (and to think Hitler's mother was Jewish!)
And it ain't his name or skin color--it's his attitude we don't like.

Lynn, the terrorists there want all the Jews dead, even if all the Jews moved out of Israel the terrorists would not be happy.
Posted by: Wild Thing at July 23, 2008 05:12 PM
Cheryl, Amen! I agree.

Does Obama think that the people of Israel who have to deal with muslim terrorism on a daily basis can't see through his obvious insincerity as he campaigns there? You can bet the farm that the Jewish people there are better informed about this phony and his motives than the blind followers buying his presidency. My little vacation from Uncle Lyndon taught me that they non Americans be backward but they are neither stupid nor ignorant, that they can size up and judge a person's character in an instant. He may be the darling of the Communist and Islamic world but the rest of the free world can see through Obama while half of America can't. Great piece by David Ha'ivri, thanks WT.

Jack, I agree they see him clearly, what he does and says about Israel is saying something that is a part of their very being they fight for every day to even stay alive and not be killed by a bomb on a bus or an outdoor cafe. Life and death every day.
