Specter Of Obama s Anti-Israel Ideas Hovers Over Hamas Attack
Certainly, there are many legitimate questions to ask about the government of Israel s behavior, the limits of America s national interest in the region, and whether Protestant America s fetishization of the Holy Land keeps us from seeing issues in the region with moral clarity. However, any fair-minded critique of Israel is a far cry from Obama s well-established and radical views on the Middle East that stem, by his own admission, from his affinity for radicals such as Frantz Fanon, whose brain-dead swagger produced such sentiments as decolonization reeks of red-hot cannonballs and bloody knives.
And it s probably time to admit that, while attempting to bury their aims under layers of academic sophistication, Obama and his acolytes used his presidency to destabilize the Middle East in the service of a left-wing ideology that excuses antisemitism and justifies terrorist violence.
I have never understood why the US needed an Iranian deal, what good it could do us or the ME generally, how it would do anything ute help Iran secure nukes, and how that could possibly do any good. It always seemed to me that hatred of Israel was behind it, though I thought I must be missing something. The horrible events of October 7 seem to confirm my worst fears.
