“On Monday Obama hosted Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas in the Oval Office in an effort to move forward with the stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace talks. Obama told reporters: ‘I have to commend President Abbas. He has been somebody who has consistently renounced violence, has consistently sought a diplomatic and peaceful solution that allows for two states, side by side, in peace and security.’ Obama made that glowing assessment despite the fact that last week members of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, part of Abbas's Fatah organization, launched some of the deadly rockets that were hurled into Israel. Gary Bauer, chairman of American Values, says Obama has constantly kowtowed to the Palestinians--whose entire culture, he argues, ‘continually promotes hatred of Jews [and] hatred of Israel.’ ‘There's no indication that the Palestinian people in that sense are ready for peace,’ Bauer remarks. ‘And yet the president constantly berates Israel, constantly speaks these pie-in-the-sky views that the Palestinians overwhelmingly want peace. So I've said it before and I’ll say it again: This is the most anti-Israel president in the history of the United States.’” (“Obama Clearly ‘Most Anti-Israel,’” OneNewsNow.com, Mar. 19, 2014) Comments are closed.
