They consider him receptive despite his claear support of Israel.
CHICAGO - It was a celebration of Palestinian culture - a night of music, dancing and a dash of politics. Local Arab Americans were bidding farewell to Rashid Khalidi, an internationally known scholar, critic of Israel, and advocate for Palestinian rights, who was leaving town for a job in New York.
A special tribute came from Khalidi's friend and frequent dinner companion, the young state Sen. Barack Obama. Speaking to the crowd, Obama remenisced about meals prepared by Khalidi's wife, Mona, and conversations that had clouded his thinking.
....................
Today, five years later, Obama is a US senator from Illinois who expresses a firmly pro-Israel view of Middle East politics, pleasing many of the Jewish leaders and advocates for Israel whom he is courting in his presidential campaign. The dinner conversations he had envisioned with his Palestinian friend have ended...
And yet the warm embrace that Obama gave to Khalidi, and words like those at the professor's going-away party, have left some Palestinian American leaders believing that Obama is more receptive to their viewpoint than he is willing to say.

Ping!
(They consider him receptive despite his claear support of Israel.)
WHAT! Did you not hear Wrights comments on Israel, and that’s his Pastor of 20 yrs. If the Jews believe anything about Obama, it better be that he did not leave Wrights church.
Hey, Obama’s criticizm of Pennsylvanians will not go well for him there. And the comments of McCains age are age discrimination, so those discriminatory type of remarks about Pennsylvanians, and McCains age show how much of Wright he absorbed.
On the 5th line of the text of the article in post #1, the word "clouded" should be challenged.
In other words, the dinner conversations with the Palestinian Khalidi are said to have challenged Obama's thinking. Perhaps "influenced" would be a better description.
Allies of Palestinians see a friend in Barack Obama...
his name is b. HUSSEIN is there anything else to be said!!!!
There seem to be a number of individuals whose parents must have been clairvoyant to give them the apt names they chose. Perhaps the only given name better for Obama than HUSSEIN wousld have been OSAMA.
I have never seen any clear support either from Obama.
“Where is “Osama” Obama’s “clear support of Israel” that the LA Slimes describes?”
It’s almost humerous to imagine a conservative ever getting this kind of cover in a news story, isn’t it?
I haven’t heard the guy mutter the first word about Israel. Then again, I rarely ever see him address any substantive policy issue—just empty rhetoric about “change” and “hope.”
Barack “Israel is a dirty word” Obama would be the best friend Palestinians could have. Are they kidding? Support for Israel would dry up asap.
And it doesn’t end at Wright’s statements. Wright even printed a letter in the church’s newsletter from Mousa Abu Marzook, a senior member of Hamas.
Osama Obama is an ally of Hamas and all Muzzies including the ones that are hiding among us. American Liberals never met a terrorist they didn’t feel sorry for or want to surrender to. If that doesn’t make you believe you’re living in the Twilight Zone of Liberal Insanity, think again!
Lousy article. If the writer had done his homework, he would have discovered that the Woods Fund, on which Obama served with everybody’s favorite terrorist Bill Ayres, made multiple grants to Palestinian organizations. Rashid Khalidi’s wife ran one of them.
According to what I have read these grants were made while Obambi was on the board. So the question for this reporter is did Obama vote yea, nay, or present on these grant requests? Or did he skip the meetings.
Thanks justiceseeker93.
BTW, HRC was on the board of a foundation of some sort that gave money to the Palestinians as well, IIRC.

What "clear support of Israel"? The most support I've heard is that Obama has said Israel has a right to defend itself. But what does this mean? I think for Obama it means they have a right to shoot down incoming missiles aimed at Tel Aviv. It certainly doesn't mean that he supports any sort of offensive against the territories from which the missiles are being fired. I doubt he thinks Israel has a right to keep a single square inch of territory beyond the '67 armistice lines and maybe not even beyond the '48 armistice lines. Maybe for the MSM this is support of Israel, but it isn't for me.
