Obama claims Israel has right to kill Gazans

NOVANEWS


Commentary by Dr. Patrick Slattery – In spite of having been publicly humiliated by Netanyahu at a White House photo op and despite the racist contempt that Israeli Jews openly feel towards Obama, the president has slavishly spouted that Israel’s most recent orgy of death unleashed on Gaza is somehow justified by a “right to self-defense.” It goes without saying that Obama feels Palestinians have no such right. This explains why his vision of a Palestinian state does not include a military.  After having been widely portrayed as “anti-Israel” by Jewish extremists throughout his presidency, Obama’s endorsement of Israel’s atrocity is particularly useful. After all, if even the “anti-Israel” Obama, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, perceives the rightousness of Israel’s actions, then they must be justified. Right? -ps
