What if Israel Were in Your Neighborhood?
1/27/2009
I left Washington last week when many of friends and family members were coming here to celebrate the inauguration of our first African-American President.
My eleven year-old son asked me — why turn your back on Obama?
I threw back at him Martin Luther King — It’s not the color of his skin, it’s the content of his character.
What does it say about Obama’s character that he sides with the Israeli slaughter machine against those that it slaughters?
What does it say about the character of his “progressive” supporters, who cry for joy at his inauguration, but say not a peep about the slaughter machine and its victims?
(See, for example, former AIPAC staffer and “progressive Democratic” columnist David Sirota, who broke down and cried watching Obama’s inauguration, but has not written one word about the slaughter in Gaza.)
