    The Democratic presidential candidate in a letter sent Tuesday to Zalmay Khalilzad, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, urged the United States not to allow the resolution to pass unless it notes the rocket salvos.

    The Security Council is in emergency session this week considering Israel’s blockade of Gaza.

    “All of us are concerned about the impact of closed border crossings on Palestinian families,” wrote Obama, a U.S. senator from Illinois, in his letter to Khalilzad. “However, we have to understand why Israel is forced to do this. Gaza is governed by Hamas, which is a terrorist organization sworn to Israel’s destruction, and Israeli civilians are being bombarded on an almost daily basis.” [jta]

    Every candidate makes gestures like this before the election and once elected, they prove to be a bunch of lying pro-arabists.

    Yidden dont be fooled. Obama is anti-semitic and anti Israel. He is a follower of Minister Jeremiah Wright a notorious Anti-Semite. From 1990-2000 he was a regular at Arab American rallies in Chicago. He is the favorite among Arab Americans for good reason. Please dont waste your vote on this Sonei Yisroel.

    I vote republican, and he has my vote. Clinton is a screamer who has no opinion of her own. I think he is the only real choice for some fresh views. Ultimately, thats what this country needs to get back on track.
