Obama Made Secret Promises to Palestinians

Politics | Tue, Nov 4, 2008 at 8:18:03 am PST

Report: Obama voiced support for Palestinians’ right to Jerusalem.

The Palestinian Authority has refrained from officially declaring its support for one of the US presidential hopefuls, claiming this was an “internal American issue”, but a Lebanese newspaper reported Tuesday that Palestinian leaders in the West Bank are hoping for Democrat Barack Obama’s victory.
 
Sources in Ramallah told the al-Akhbar daily that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad are expecting Obama to win, “despite his leaning towards Israel,” which they said was aimed at gaining the support of the Israel and the Jewish lobby in the United States.
 
The sources said that during a recent meeting with Obama, the two Palestinian leaders “heard the best things they ever heard from an American president.”
 
According to the report, the Democratic senator told Abbas and Fayyad that he “supports the rights of the Palestinians to east Jerusalem, as well as their right to a stable, sovereign state”, but asked them to keep the remarks a secret.

UPDATE at 11/4/08 2:11:00 pm:

Dennis Ross says it didn’t happen.

Ross issued a statement completely rejecting a Lebanese newspaper’s claim that Hussein Obama had promised Abbas to divide Jerusalem. The statement assured, “As someone who was present in Senator Obama’s meeting with the Palestinian leadership, I can state definitively that there were no secret commitments made, and no discussion of Jerusalem whatsoever.”

Rashid Khalidi told an audience of Arab-Americans during Obama's Senate election in 2004, not to worry if Obama makes pro-Israeli statements. He has to say that stuff to get elected, but once he is elected, he won't let the Palestinians down.

29 PAgirlinNC  Tue, Nov 4, 2008 8:26:06am

And it's time for the Poll Hammer:

Polls are BS. Ojoe's poll hammer:

1. Polls are public. There are at least 2 people present when a polling question is asked. The Ballot is private.

2. Poll questions can be worded in leading, tricky ways. The ballot is simple.

3. Polls never measure the opinions of those who refuse to answer them. Polls are the responses of the 20% or fewer of people who answer the phones and respond to pollsters. The other 80+% of people either hang up or never answer the phone.

4. Polls can be used to try and influence the outcome of an election, so the motivation behind them and their reporting is suspect. The ballot is the election.

5. You can lie to a pollster. You cannot lie to the ballot.

6. Polls come to you. You have to get up off your ass to vote.

7. Only God knows the future anyway.

So we have Obama saying one thing to the Israeli's, and publicly in this country, and another to the Palestinian leadership. He's clearly lying to one group, the question is, which group?

Perhaps the company he keeps and has sought out in the past will give us a clue.

40 Buck  Tue, Nov 4, 2008 8:28:17am

I hate OBAMA as much as anyone, but I hate Mahmoud Abbas and Salam Fayyad even more.

They are lying scum who will say anything to make themselves seem more important.

I don't think for even one moment that OBAMA would say such a thing (keep it a secret). He is not an idiot, and underestimating him would be a mistake.

Mahmoud Abbas and Salam Fayyad are straight up terrorists, who can't help but believe their own fantasies.

41 Dead Man Voting  Tue, Nov 4, 2008 8:28:39am

If we witness our enemies (or the enemies of our allies) celebrating an Obama victory (as they danced in the streets post 9/11), will America finally comprehend what she has done?

Or, is the promise of free gas and no mortgage payments enough of a sedative for the masses?

My wife told me that a coworker of hers voted absentee, and then later regretted it having changed his mind. She didn't know exactly what he changed his mind on, but perhaps there will be a lot of minds changed before actually voting today.

My thought is that the only thing holding Israel back from making a preemptive/decapitation strike on Iran is the hope of a McCain-Palin victory. Without any friend in the world, Israel would have to base her decisions solely on binary national interests.

Just voted, no one in line for my part of the alphabet at my polling station. Took me all of 30 seconds. The place where I vote is very small, and I have never seen it overwhelmed, and I saw about the same number of folks I've seen for previous presidential elections. I think where I live there is usually high voter turnout anyhow, and so our polling place is adequately staffed.

He sure does but he always does so with a purpose in mind. Please read Job 42:11-17 and I think you will see that while God may allow oppression, if we are faithful (as Job was) he restores what the locusts have eaten.

re: #42 vxbush

There is no way for the pollsters to predict turnout - or adequately quantify most of the major intangibles that impact voting results. There's no way to really measure the impact of PUMA's or the disgust that many in middle America may feel about being called rednecks or racists for not supporting The One or even to measure their disgust over being taken for granted by the MSM who basically annointed the marxist candidate.

Obama consistently polled about 7 points better in the primaries than he scored in the voting booth. I don't see this changing much....just as I will not be surprised if the exit polls also show a huge prospective Obama win in the now regular effort to surpress the R vote....

re: #15 Last Mohican

From Karl Rove's website:

The final Rove & Co. electoral map of the 2008 election cycle points to a 338-200 Barack Obama electoral vote victory over John McCain tomorrow, the largest electoral margin since 1996.

Oh dear God.

Polls always seem to pull to the left. Even when Clinton won, he won by 4% less than the polls indicated he would.

SO take the most recent polls, and handicap them (subtract 4% from OBAMA and give it to McCain) you suddenly have a different Map.

-Early reports indicate that there were huge turnouts across the country as soon as the polls opened. People were ostensibly voting before they went to work or school.

-Polling places are expecting another surge of voters after people get out of work/school.

120 Kenneth  Tue, Nov 4, 2008 8:46:46am

Correction, it wasn't Khalidi, it was Ali Abunimah

Ali Abunimah, a Palestinian rights activist in Chicago who helps run Electronic Intifada, said that he met Obama several times at Palestinian and Arab American community events. At one, a 2000 fundraiser at a private home, Obama called for the U.S. to take an “even-handed” approach toward Israel, Abunimah wrote in an article on the website last year. He did not cite Obama’s specific criticisms.

Abunimah, in a Times interview and on his website, said Obama seemed sympathetic to the Palestinian cause but more circumspect as he ran for the U.S. Senate in 2004. At a dinner gathering that year, Abunimah said, Obama greeted him warmly and said privately that he needed to speak cautiously about the Middle East.

Abunimah quoted Obama as saying that he was sorry he wasn’t talking more about the Palestinian cause, but that his primary campaign had constrained what he could say.

Obama, through his aide Axelrod, denied he ever said those words, and Abunimah’s account could not be independently verified.

I am trying to be philosophical about an Obama win. While strong support from the US has always been beneficial, Israel needs to prepare to move forward without this being the case. This means healing the rifts which separate it internally, becoming stronger while being more self-sufficient and responding to this challenge like all the great challenges that she has faced in the past.

Obama can stand up and lie in the faces of the American public about his pro Pali views and it goes unquestioned by the MSM.

I hope I am not running a fowl of LGF secret rule EoD, but you all might find this very interesting:

Torah Codes

Tighten your seatbelts. Look at what they found:

Amazing: Look at the 2nd & 3rd sentences from Chapter 38 of the Prophet Yechezkel (Ezekiel)

Start with the letter Aleph in the word Nasi (President) and count every 7th letter; you get: OBAMA!
It begins talking about the mysterious final war between Gog and Magog to precede the era of Redemption / Mashiach - of peace for all people. But, first there is some very frightening imagery in the Torah's description of this episode...
Obama's name is encoded in the first phrase where it is talking about the leader or "Nasi" of Gog.
This Gog will gather up the nations and attack Israel...

This is all very On Topic, if I do say so myself.

There is also this article: "Obama Tells Abbas: I support Dividing Up Jerusalem". (you have to read the quotes from the PLO/PA/Fatah)

Also, we know that American/Israelis are voting heavily for McCain, American/Lebanese on the other hand are voting overwhelmingly Obama

149 MartinLeaf  Tue, Nov 4, 2008 9:10:01am

The Jews that vote for Obama want a Pal state with E.Jerusalem as its capital. Applying the LGF quote of the day from a few days back from Niels Bohr*: The Jews as a group are both the smartest people in the world, and the dumbest.

155 J.S.  Tue, Nov 4, 2008 9:20:21am

I've found it interesting/disturbing that back in the early 1990s (around 1989?) the Islamists, the antisemites, the history revisionists, etc., would also discuss "Israel's original sin." (Was that phrase coined by B. Morris?) Whenever I heard this phrase I thought of anti-Israel, antisemites, and how "sweet sounding" such a phrase would be...yet, of course, it entails the notion of destroying the state of Israel...along with an appeal to "Christians", I suppose.

Now we have Obama taking up that exact same phrase -- back on March 18, 2008, in a speech he referred to "America's original sin" (referring to slavery)...and just how awful AmeriKKKa is, and how necessary it is to vote ObamaMessiah so as to "expiate that original sin." yeah, sure. And all of these whole faux Christian notions -- "original sin" -- "expiating original sin" -- all of these "Christian" notions applied to Nation States have been taken up (as I laugh) by certain individuals. (Read some of today's editorials in the National Post.) The same "JINO" who would become irate at the mere thought of a S.

He's going back to ask.

Call the Board of Elections and complain.
Also call the election fraud/intimidation/irregularites hotline. Most states have one.
There's also the hotline set up by the McCain/Palin campaign, 866-976-VOTE. If you are both registered as Republicans, definitely call that, too.

re: #168 WrathofG-d

If you wish to say that Jews should have a specific interest in not voting for someone that deals with the enemies of the Jewish state, then fine.

But I will not accept that if Obama wins, screws up, and allows Iran to nuke Israel, or forces Israel to split Jerusalem, that it would be the American Jews' fault.

If Obama wins, it will be AMERICA's fault. Not simply "the Jews".

Blame it on the Jews, is just so.....you know....ANTISEMITIC!

I have to agree. It will be America's fault. All the ones who didn't inform themselves or the ones who think Obama is Santa Claus.

re: #168 WrathofG-d

It's not about "blaming it on Jews" -- it's rather a recognition that there's "a problem" with respect to American, Democratic Jews...They don't give a [fill in the blank with expletive] about Israel. It does not concern them. End of story. Even if Israel is nuked -- would they care? I suspect the answer would be "no." or "too bad." or "what else is new?" (in order to aportion "blame" you have to be first aware that something's "wrong" or "blameworthy.")

Except maybe for those who will benefit when Obama distributes the wealth to them, and Islamics, and American hating Leftists, it is against everyone's interest to vote for Obama.

So whether they are Jews, or Catholics or Protestants, anyone, and they fell for the mass hysteria and propaganda and supported Obama, well, be angry with them, pity them, most will be sorry soon enough.

re: #174 J.S.

I have to go to a meeting, and will be back in about 1 hr, however, I will in no way place any specific blame solely on the Jews.

we are 3% max of the U.S. population. If Obama wins, its the fault of America...not "The Jews".

As for the Jews that hate Israel, we should remember that 3/4th of the Jews in Egypt didn't leave. Only 1/4 believed even after the miracles!

Sorry, I don't believe this.

Remember when Michelle Obama gave that exclusive interview to that African news agency? How terrible! How shocking! Had it been true, it would have been quite the scandal.

But it wasn't true. The African news agency made the whole thing up.

I think that's what's happening here.

I hate Obama as much as the rest of you, but this doesn't pass the laugh test.

re: #176 WrathofG-d

I'm not -- repeat not -- placing "blame solely on the Jews." That's not what I'm saying. However, that does not exonerate Democratic Jews (both the ones who despise Israel and those who claim to be "Zionists") -- they, along with everyone else who votes for Obama -- they get what they deserve. And once again, if so-called "Zionist", Leftist, Democratic Jews have no qualms about Obama (whether it's Obama's associations with antisemites or Obama's associating with Israel haters, etc.), will eagerly endorse and vote for Obama -- then, why should any one else have qualms about Obama?

People, people, let's not go overboard.
Remember, these are the people who told us that there were "THOUSANDS, er, no, HUNDREDS of dead at Jenin - no, wait, they tried to kill us all & they failed!" - but will still say there was "genocide" if you ask. Even if you don't.
The PLO, et al, are liars, first & foremost.
As much as I detest Obama, this is pretty stupid, even for him.

re: #22 pat

Pat,

This Jew and many others I know voted proudly for Sen. McCain, and we are Republicans in a very blue state. Tragically, the more 'liberal' Jews just do not get it, but if, G-d forbid, Hussein wins? They, like the German Jews who thought that they were assimilated, and considered to be just like other Germans learned an horrific lesson that the younger Jews have not paid attention to. The Shoah is taught in schools, but it is minimized, and compared to any other thing...it is not just another 'thing', damn it.

And if the worst happens? The Jews who voted for him will learn a lesson their parents should have made sure they remember and pass on to their kids, etc. re exactly what the Shoah was...here we sit, over 60 years after, and they do not want to remember. Those who forget history.... I was born in 1938, and learned from my family, and later on, news reels is the movies, books and first hand accounts from members of our Synagogue.

Would Hussein and his civilian troops be that far removed? I think he dearly wants to put people into ethnic and racial groups, pitting one against the other, and progressing from there...may he never get the chance.

Never forget-never forgive.

185 mean Gene  Tue, Nov 4, 2008 10:40:16am

I have to say, this is a surprise to me.
I am seeing so many of my Jewish friends and relatives (even the gay and lesbian ones) voting for McCain!
I have never heard such wholehearted support for a Republican from them.
Well, this is CA and who knows, our votes will probably be buried in a 22% lead for the ''0'' but it is still amazing.

186 undhimmicratic  Tue, Nov 4, 2008 10:45:24am

I know this is true. I was in Ramallah a few months ago at a party of sorts (went with a journalist friend of a friend). The Palis told me the same thing: "Obama has always been our man. Even before he was a Senator." They didn't like his AIPAC speech where he claimed he would not divide Jerusalem, but then kind of laughed that he had changed his tune shortly thereafter. "He's a politician," one guy told me. "But he's on our side."

I might as well add that this "party" was in an apartment with a Cuban flag on the wall and a bottle of Johnny Walker black on the counter, most of it gone. These self-declared leftists will be the first to go when and if Hamas gets its hands on Ramallah.

I'm with Buck; it's no surprise that the PaliArabs would "leak" this but that's not reason enough to believe it.

That said, I don't think that this supposed leak differs materially from the Powell/Rice stance on the "peace process." Even if Obama told them something nicer than they had ever heard from any President, I suspect that they have heard substantially the same drivel from our diplomats.

Here's hoping that the Israeli electorate does the right [sic] thing in February.

193 So?  Tue, Nov 4, 2008 1:42:44pm

Doesn't matter what Obama promised. Israel will be THE ONE to decide.

194 Cutty Sark  Tue, Nov 4, 2008 7:02:20pm

Yea , and a palestinian radio station reported that Ariel Sharon stated in Parliament , that "we control the US" ......of course a dumb Chicago reporter bought it ....but as expected , it was just more lies , just like this was .
