Lebanese Nader Calls Obama Pro-"Palestinian"

Imagine ....even Nader calls out Obama's "Pro-Palestinian" Past (and Nader is Lebanese. His parents, Nathra and Rose Nader, were Lebanese immigrants. Rose and Nathra Nader's native language is Arabic)

Washington, D.C. (February 25, 2008) --  After remarks made by Ralph Nader yesterday on "Meet the Press," RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks said, "Ralph Nader added to the debate on Senator Obama's views on Israel and the Middle East and raised serious doubts and questions about the true leanings of Senator Obama on these important issues."

 

During his interview on "Meet the Press," Nader said that Sen. Obama had reversed his positions on Israel.  Nader said Sen. Obama's "better instincts and his knowledge have been censored by himself" and that Sen. Obama was "pro-Palestinian when he was in Illinois before he ran for the state Senate" and "during the state Senate."   

Sen. Obama has caught criticism for pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel statements and sentiments before.  In March 2007, Sen. Obama was criticized for saying that "Nobody is suffering more than the Palestinians."  Obama has also been criticized for stocking his campaign with several controversial advisors including Zbigniew Brzezinski, Robert Malley, Samantha Power and Susan Rice.   

"People should be very skeptical of Barack Obama's shaky Middle East policies.  When a long-time political activist like Ralph Nader, with a well-documented, anti-Israel bias, claims that Senator Obama shares this anti-Israel bias, that is alarming," said RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks. "If Senator Obama supports Ralph Nader's policies, which consistently condemn Israel's right to defend itself against terrorism, and if Sen. Obama has only reversed his positions to run for president, it once again raises serious questions about his grasp of the geo-political realities of the Middle East and puts into doubt his commitment to the safety and security of Israel.  These are important questions we in the Jewish community will be asking."

COME ON PAMELA !
Pro-Palestinian? Next thing you are going to tell me is that he has a cousin that wants to establish Muslim Law in Kenya or that he wants to talk to terrorist countries or something really crazy like he went to a Madrassa school.
Whats that? Oh Really?
ahem---well never mind

Pamela's antics are just as shameful as Debbie Schlussel's. These two neo-cons who were the loudest drum beaters of the Iraq war can never have a black man whose father was a Muslim in the White House. Oh no honey, we cant have ANY US PRESIDENT be critical of Israel, THAT WOULD BE ANTI-SEMETIC. Pammy must also be fine with keeping our troops in Iraq for 100 years.

As a conservative the fact that some on my side of the poltical isle are resorting to this tactic is an embarrasment. If you have a problem with Obama's middle name, then take it up with his dead father when you see him since he is the one that gave it to him, the same father who did not raise him. The "HE'S A MUSLIM" tactic aint working for Billary, so it isn't gonna work for you either Pammy girl. Whether liberal or conservative, any rational person can see Pammy and Debbie for the bigots they are. You Jewish neo-cons are gasping for air. Your hold on the Republican party and American is becoming weaker, and thats a good thing.

I'm ready to declare war on all of Islam. Who's with me?

Well, I have no doubt that the Obamanation is pro-Palestinian -- he is a well-to-the-left Dem, after all. However, who cares if Ralph Nader's parents' native language was Arabic? That's really quite irrelevant. I assume [I do not know] that they were likely Lebanese Christians, anyway.

There's that damm bigot card again.It's not much different from the racist card. It's pulled in hopes that it will shut up critics and 'VETTERS'

Pamela, according to the Stalinists it's NOT ok to cast anything resembling a critical on this guy so please don't because they might get upset.

Stalinists lefties just can't handle the criticism and so want to shut people up instead of discussing this stuff. Pathetic.
