Barack Obama's Visceral Dislike of Israel, the Jewish State, Revealed in his Latest Book

December 2, 2020.Though we have not over the years accused Barack Obama of anti-Semitism, we did feel even prior to his election in 2008 that Obama was uncomfortable with the idea of Jewish sovereignty, as well as Jewish rights in and of themselves, disconnected from intersectionality.

In his recent book, Promised Land, it is crystal clear that Obama is uncomfortable, perhaps even hostile to a specific Jewish state in the Land of Israel and used his tenure as president to undermine the proud and glorious history of Zionism.

As with many in the anti-Zionist movement, Obama grants credibility to all salutary comments for the Palestinian Arabs, portraying them as innocent victims in a Martin Luther King-like struggle, while caricaturing Israel and her Jewish inhabitants as oppressors.

To him, it seems, the region only came into being with the advent of the newly formed P.L.O. Barack Obama does not hate Jews per se; however, he is of the genre that sees the Jewish people as a conduit to achieve human rights for others; to continually sacrifice their own self-interest on the altar of leftwing goals and aspirations he deems more important than Jewish peoplehood.

In the final weeks of the Obama-Biden administration, no longer worried about AIPAC and Jewish campaign contributions, he revealed the full Obama: he orchestrated a worldwide diplomatic stealth attack against Israel via the United Nations, casting illegitimacy on Jerusalem as Israel's capital and the Jewish people's birthright.

We would be remiss if we did not comment regarding the highly disturbing views and outlook expressed by Obama in his most recent book.
