With just hours before Election Day begins, the Israel Insider Web site has probably has won the award for strangest and most ridiculous allegation about Barack Obama.
In a lengthy post, the site’s publisher, Reuven Koret, argues that Barack Obama may be the "secret son" of Malcolm X. There’s no actual evidence in the article for the claim, just some talk about how they resemble each other physically and have a similar speaking style.
Koret also is the founder of Koret Communications, which runs the Websites of Israel 21c and Birthright Israel, among other clients.
