Okay Obama supporters -
Please tell me this give you good feelings about Obama...
Another Deeply Troubling Comment From Jesse Jackson
Editor’s Note: In his October 14 column in the New York Post Amir Taheri quotes from an interview he did with Jesse Jackson when he was in Evian, France last week to attend the World Policy Forum. Jackson told Taheri “although the ‘Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades’ remain strong, they’ll lose a great deal of their clout when Barack Obama enters the White House.” Jackson says he is not an Obama confidant or adviser, “just a supporter.” But he also describes him as a “member of the family.”
If the quote above is accurate and in context, Jesse Jackson has again exposed himself an anti-Semite at a level far deeper than his reference to New York City as “Hymietown” some years ago.
The blaming of Jews for the world’s problems is a familiar refrain from bigots who seek to shift attention from the more difficult task of finding solutions instead of creating scapegoats. It was Hitler’s first step toward the Holocaust.
Barney Frank, who heads the House Banking Committee, is Jewish. Would Jackson include him among the “Zionists who control American policy,” or is Frank culpable for his regulatory oversight failings irregardless of his Jewishness?
What does Jackson mean that Obama is part of the “family”? Would that be the family of African-Americans, or the family of anti-Semites? If the latter, the public needs to know before the election. And especially American Jews need to know, given their support for Obama in such large numbers.
Changing American policy toward Israel is a major goal of Arab and Muslim groups inside and outside of America. They support Obama in large numbers. Bob Schieffer should ask Obama about Jackson’s remarks in tomorrow night’s debate. He should also ask him to which “family” he belongs.
