Obama gave a speech at the AIPAC, American Israel Public Affairs Committee, today, Wednesday, June 4, 2008. Here are some of the comments Obama made to the AIPAC:
“As president, I will work to help Israel achieve the goal of two states, a Jewish state of Israel and a Palestinian state, living side by side in peace and security. And I won’t wait until the waning days of my presidency. I will take an active role, and make a personal commitment to do all I can to advance the cause of peace from the start of my administration,”
“I will ensure that Israel can defend itself from any threat — from Gaza to Tehran. … Defense cooperation between the United States and Israel is a model of success, and it must be deepened,”
“true friend of Israel”
“I want to mention that that I know some have been receiving provocative emails that have been circulating throughout Jewish communities across the country. And a few of you may have gotten them. They’re filled with tall tales and dire warnings about a certain candidate for president. And all I want to say is, let me know if you see this guy named Barack Obama, because he sounds pretty scary,”
We already know about Obama’s connections to Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakhan as well as William Ayers. We already know of Obama’s ties to Auchi (Iraq) and Rezko (Syria). We know that Jeremiah Wright and Farrakahn went to Libya. Many people are not aware of the ties between Obama and Zbigniew Brzezinski, a former national security adviser. The Telegraph, a British news source, presented an article on May 27, 2008 about Obama, Mr. Brzezinski and AIPAC. Here are some exerpts:
“Although Mr Brzezinski is not a formal day-to-day adviser and stressed he doesn’t speak for the campaign, he said that he “talks to” Mr Obama.”
“He endorsed the Illinois senator, lauding him as “head and shoulders” above his opponents. He said that he was the only candidate who understood “what is new and distinctive about our age”.”
“In turn, Mr Obama has praised Mr Brzezinski as “someone I have learned an immense amount from” and “one of our most outstanding scholars and thinkers”.”
“In Mr Brzezinski’s view, whoever is the next US leader must persuasively propose the following dramatic steps to peace: a) Palestinians give up the right of return from Jordan b) demilitarise of the Palestinian state c) Israel share Jerusalem d) Israel return to its pre-1967 war borders with “equitable adjustments”.”
“An active author and analyst at 80, he is close enough to Mr Obama that his remarks may feed fears in the American-Jewish community that the senator would soften America’s traditional strong pro-Israeli stance if he became president.”
