Obama Quotes Saul Alinksy In Speech To Young Israelis
In his address in Jerusalem today, President Obama channeled Saul Alinsky, citing the radical community organizer’s defining mantra as he urged young Israelis to “create change” to nudge their leadership to act.
Obama told a crowd of college students at Jerusalem’s main convention center that Israel “has the wisdom to see the world as it is, but also the courage to see the world as it should be.”
One of Alinsky’s major themes was working with the world as it “is” to turn it into the world as “it should be.”
In his defining work, “Rules for Radicals,” which he dedicated to “the first rebel,” Lucifer, Alinsky used those words to lay out his main agenda. He asserted radical change must be brought about by working within a system instead of attacking it from the outside.
“It is necessary to begin where the world is if we are going to change it to what we think it should be. That means working in the system,” wrote Alinsky.
Wild Thing’s comment…………….
Beyond disgusting, I can’t stand him.
Now at least the Israelis should know exactly who and what obama is. He is a Marxist, as are many Jews. But, he is also pro Palestinian and anti Israel. They have to know they cannot rely on America for support beyond photo-ops from obama. Netenyahu is a very sharp guy and he knows that any action he takes against any muzzies will be mostly unilateral for the next four years. It will be interesting.
