Anti-semitism at it’s finest.
JERUSALEM – Sen. Barack Obama’s military adviser and national campaign co-chairman has implied U.S. politicians are afraid of Jewish voters in Miami and New York City and that American Jews are the “problem” impeding a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Merrill A. McPeak, a former Air Force chief of staff, also compared the Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist organizations to what he described as religious radicals in Oregon and claimed “born-again [Christians]” supported the war in Iraq to help Israel.Discussing Middle East politics during a 2003 interview with the Oregonian newspaper McPeak stated, “We don’t have a playbook for the Middle East. You know, for instance, obviously, a part of that long-term strategy would be getting the Israelis and the Palestinians together at . . .something other than a peace process. Process is not a substitute for achievement or settlement. And even so the process has gone off the tracks, but the process isn’t enough.”
He then proceeds to lay the blame on Israel for the stalling of the peace process.
McPeak went on to insist that to solve the conflict, Israelis must “stop settling the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, and maybe even withdraw some of the settlements that’ve already been put there. And nobody wants to take on that problem. It’s just too tough politically.”
McPeak did not point to Palestinian terrorism or the recent election of Hamas to power as problems impeding an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal.
As a follow-up question, the Oregonian interviewer asked McPeak whether “there’s an element within Hamas, Hezbollah, that doesn’t want Israel to exist at all and always will be there?”
McPeak responded by comparing the two terror groups to “radical” Oregonians.
Funny, I thought the hail of rockets being constantly rained on Israel by the terrorists in Gaza would be the cause of the peace talks stalling. But, being the liberal that he is, of course the problem is not the with the attacker, but the victim, for simply existing. He also deflects from the issue at hand by attempting to use a moral equivalence argument about Christian groups in the US, yet I struggle to recall any Christian group ever having rallies calling for “DEATH TO MUSLIMS” or a Christian strapping a bomb to himself and detonating it in a public market.
