Tony Karon, Rootless Cosmopolitan, February 27:
The problem with Obama, for the Zionist establishment, is that he may not muster the degree of racist contempt for the Palestinians that they can safely expect from Hillary Clinton. The deeper problem for the Zionist establishment, of course, is that Jewish Americans are flocking to Obama despite their coded warnings.
I think Karon is overly optimistic about Obama - and it’s never healthy to wish for a new and probably false Messiah - but there are a few encouraging signs about the Democratic front-runner.
Of course, compared to every US President of the last decades, who always seemed so desperate to prove their hatred of the Palestinians, Obama may be a breadth of fresh air. Maybe.
Thoroughly interesting analysis by Tony Karon. Thank you for your courage. Certainly, anybody who feels terrified by the prospect of a US president actually engaging in a multiple dialogue to solve problems in the Middle East and elsewhere, as some of the people Karon refers to in his piece do,should consider taking basic lessons in Democracy, Respect and Tolerance. Let alone, Constructive Politics. And get their faces off their asses.
You are absolutely correct: Tony is way too optimistic about Obama!
