The Source of Obama's Antisemitism and Hatred of Israel

      Happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year to all.  The first post of 2017 is about the disastrous decision that was made right before Christmas by Obama himself.  On December 23, 2016,  he decided to double down on the worst foreign policy in the history of the United States.  He vicously  thrust a dagger into the heart of Israel during a vote at the UN Security Council.  The United States had always protected Israel with its veto power, but as a lame duck president, Obama made it clear what his true feelings about Jews and Israel have been all along. I have frequently commented on this, but some review of Obama's life history will make it easier to understand why the policy he has followed from the onset of his regime in 2008 is completely predictable,  The decision to abstain over UN resolution 2334  delegitimized Israeli settlements in the West Bank, in East Jerusalem, and Israeli claim to the most holy site in the Jewish religion, the Holy Temple Western Wall.  In fact, Israel claims that Obama helped fashion this resolution, a claim which will be made public and verified on or shortly after January 20, 2017 when Obama is gone for good.
      As a child, Obama was raised in a Muslim country, Indonesia, the country with the largest Muslim population.  In Djakarta, he attended a Muslim school. The school was such that one had to be a Muslim and an Indonesian citizen to attend.  He was apparently adopted by his mother's second husband Lolo Soetero to make this happen.  In the Muslim religion, the children are considered to be the religion of the father.  His supposed real father, Barack Obama Sr, was also a Muslim, but was not  observant and a dead beat father and husband as he was a heavy scotch drinker, who practiced bigamy,  beat some of his wives and offered no support to the eight children he fathered.  Eventually Jr. returned to Hawaii with his mother, who shortly thereafter left him in the care of his grandparents.  As a teen, he was mentored by Frank Davis, an admitted CPUSA member and drinking buddy of his grandfather.  Some argue that Davis was his real father, but I'll leave that for you to research and decide for yourself. Besides giving the young man a  communist education, he was responsible for Obama moving to Chicago after graduating from Columbia.  Obama was immediately accepted into the far left community of socialists, communists, and anarchists because of his close ties to Davis.
      Let's go back to Columbia, as I'm getting a little ahead of myself.   Attending as Barry Soetero,  young Obama used his Indonesian passport as the identity that allowed him to be accepted to Columbia for his junior year as an international student, though a B- student at Occidental College.  It also helped him obtain financial assistance available to international students.  At Columbia his favorite professor was Edward Said, professor of Mideast Studies.  Understanding him will help you to understand Obama. Some years before, Said wrote a book entitled Orientalism  about his version of the post colonial Middle East, making it seem like a battle between the people of color, the Arabs, and the Whites or Jews,  and to Obama, similar to that taking place in the civil rights movement in America.  Arab and Palestinian terrorism was justified as they brought recognition of the cause.  The creation of Israel was an extension of European imperialism.  This concept obviously denied almost 5000 years of continuous Jewish habitation of the region.  Islam only dates back to the 7th century.  Based on Said's teachings, Obama speeches about Israel have denied  Jewish history as well.  Eventually Said's book became discredited as Said was not the person he pretended to be in the book and some of the content turned out to be fiction.
      At Columbia, Obama's two roommates were Pakistani Muslims, Chandroo and Hamid.  In 1981, he traveled to Pakistan to allegedly visit them during Ramadan. He also may have visited his mother and half sister in Djakarta as well. Obama has always been tight lipped about this trip and didn't even mention it until 2006. Did he just visit friends? Was he radicalized? I'll let you be the judge. What is also interesting about the trip is that it was very difficult, but not impossible to get to Pakistan with an American passport, but much easier with one from Indonesia.  Few people remember Obama at Columbia, probably because he went by a different name, Barry Soetero.
      After graduation, he identified as Barack Obama again and headed for Chicago to work as a community organizer for ACORN and specifically at the Altgeld Gardens Housing Project during an effort to rid the complex of asbestos and the surrounding landfills of hazardous materials.  This campaign began well before Obama's arrival on the Southside and continued well after he moved on.  Because his introduction by Frank Davis Obama was quickly accepted into a closely knit group of leftists and anti Semites.  Among these included Louis Farakkhan, leader of the Nation of Islam and Rashid Khalidi professor of Mideast Studies at the University of Chicago who later replace Edward Said at Columbia. Alice Palmer, local politician and CPUSA member,  unrepentant murderer Bill Ayers, and Valerie Jarrett were three others.  Rev. Jeremiah Wright came a bit later.  (in case you were unaware Ayres and his wife Bernadette Dorn helped sponsor the infamous flotilla carrying weapons and tunnel supplies to Gaza from Turkey that was intercepted by the Israeli Navy.)
      Therefore Obama's foreign policy toward Israel and Muslims can easily be explained by his past.
Here is brief partial list of this misguided foreign policy.  His first trip was an apology tour to Arabs and Muslims in Cairo.  He then bowed down to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia and made Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu wait while he consumed a leisurely dinner.  He sent over his political team to try to sway Israeli elections. He always equated West Bank settlements with rocket attacks, terror tunnels, and terror attacks against Israeli citizens and he can't say radical Islamic terror.  The terrible Iranian deal topped it off as now Iran has billions to fund its anti Israel terrorists.  Choosing John Kerry as Secretary of State, despited his family ties to Iran.  His defense of Muslims in the United States, but his failure to say a word about antisemitism on our college campuses including his alma mater Columbia, one of the worst offenders.
      It will take a major deal to get this UN declaration reversed as both Russia and China would veto any US resolution to that effect.  What can Americans do?  They can write off Obama as a big mistake making hatred for America and Israel his actual legacy,  American Jews should stop funding the Democrat Party.  So what can Trump do?  He already disavowed Obama's infamy. The easiest thing he could do immediately is remove the weapons sanctions that Obama has tied to the Israelis and second and most important, move the US embassy to Jerusalem,  even build one in East Jerusalem, that would be a good start.  That would say something to the World, the UN. Muslims, and Obama and his ilk, especially George Soros.
