Obama Touches Down

Air Force One has landed in Israel and Barack Hussein Obama has arrived more than four years into his Presidency. Obama is in the Holy Land because he presumes that he is able to create an outcome in the Middle East Conflict by dictating to the Jews. This is because he has no natural affinity for the Zionist enterprise but real empathy for the plight of the Palestinians. Obama has always resented colonialism and he sees Israel as a colonialist entity. Obama's thinking has been shaped by lifelong connection to Islam through his stepfather Soetero, who was a practicing Muslim, more than his birth father with whom he had little contact although Obama Sr. was also raised in the Islamic faith. Obama's view that Israel is an oppressor was further shaped by his friendship with adamantly anti-Zionist scholar Rashid Khalidi. Just as Obama is a classic redistributionist at home because he wants to get even with the rich because he thinks he is championing the little guy, Obama believes Israel is a bully in her dangerous neighborhood and a tyrant crushing legitimate Palestinian aspirations. I have great fear for Obama's plan for the Jewish State.
