Obama pushes ahead with plan to rejuvenate black-Jewish alliance http://jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/will-obama-renew-the-black-jewish-alliance/ Barack Obama's pledge to use his presidency to revive the black-Jewish alliance starts on Day (minus) One -- the day before he becomes president. en-us rkampeas@jta.org Copyright 2009 2009-01-13T;14:31:00-05:00 Comment by Chana bat-Shalom yiddishemameh@verizon.net This is one Jew who will be flying a Confederate flag on January 20th (it’ll still be there from the day before: Robt E lee Day). Obama can try all he wants to “make nice” to me, but this is one Jew who isn’[t buying any of his lies and deception. He’s not even a true native-born citizen!

Funny, I am on my Jewish email lists, but I never once received anything that claimed Obama was a secret Muslim (not that there is anything wrong with it!) What I have seen is members of the meeting repeat this claim ad nauseum, while never producing evidence of it actually happening. Obama’s silence on Israel these last weeks is deafening. What a crock, “there is only one president.” He’s talked about the things he’s wanted to—i.e. economy, etc. I thing Jews are in for a rude awakening, except for those who just want to give peace a chance, while they live off daddy’s trust fund and live their life as pseudo-activists.

I am also someone who participated in the very first event the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding held at the 96th Street Mosque in NYC. It was 3 years ago and the imam and Rabbi Schneir were to engage in a freewheeling discussion with only one ground rule: nobody could bring up the Middle East. Nope, I’m not kidding). During the question and answer session I asked the Imam if he would be willing to make a statement to his sister mosque in London (the largest in the UK) condemning the DVD they (still) sell depicting Jews as the descendants of apes and pigs. He was not. To this day FEU continues to sell its soul for headlines and glamorous parties with rappers. I have read JTA for years and my only request is that you change your name to reflect your deep and consistent bias. If your readers would like another take I suggest they check out Hip Hop Republlacan and Atlas Shrugs, two blogs that differ with your writer’s assessments. We conspiracy theorists could not be more overjoyed that this great country has elected its first black president. We just wish it was a differentr black man or woman. Mostly, we could not be more disappointed in the American Jews who have helped elect the first President in thie history of the United States who will not stand by Israel in her hour of need.
