Obama Camp’s Blood Libels of America, Israel, and Jews

The classic blood libel accuses a religious group of using human blood for its rituals. The most infamous is the accusation that Jews used the blood of Christian babies to make matzoh (unleavened bread), although early Christians also were falsely accused of drinking human blood. It is quite likely that Roman emperors like Nero and Diocletian picked up on the Mass, in which wine stands in for the blood of Jesus, as a premise for this blood libel. In general, however, a blood libel is a false accusation of ritual murder, genocide, or similar conduct whose purpose is to incite ferocious hatred of a religion, ethnic group, or country. Barack Obama’s official campaign site, his church’s and pastor’s publications, and the Web site of his supporters at MoveOn.org have published numerous blood libels of the United States, Israel, and Jews.

Before we begin, however, we must ask whether Obama agrees with, or is even lukewarm toward, the reprehensible positions that have been put forward by his supporters. Are these positions consistent or inconsistent with Obama’s own behavior? If Obama had a record of repudiating individuals and organizations that deal in hatred of America and/or Israel, bigotry, racism, anti-Catholicism, and anti-Semitism, we would have to dismiss the long list of blood libels as inconsistent with Obama’s values. The following facts, however, suggest the opposite: anti-American, anti-Israel, and anti-Semitic blood libels are entirely consistent with Obama’s behavior and choice of associates. The hatred of America and Israel is also consistent with the ideology of Obama’s sugar daddy, international financier George Soros.

(1) Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father shows, in Obama’s own words, his early involvement in Black identity politics and even Black Nationalism.

(2) Barack Obama joined the Trinity United Church of Christ with the full knowledge that Jeremiah Wright was consorting openly with the racist, anti-Semite, and Catholic-hating bigot Louis Farrakhan, and had accompanied Farrakhan to Libya to see Moammar Khadafy. Obama then chose to remain in this church, and bring his family to this church, through twenty years of Jeremiah Wright’s hate speech.

(3) Barack Obama refused to “reject” the support of the aforementioned hate monger Louis Farrakhan until Tim Russert, who was joined in the effort by Hillary Clinton, cornered him like a rat during a nationally televised debate. This is typical of Obama; he welcomes pages from hate organizations (e.g. National Black Panther Party) and overt anti-Semitic hate speech on his official Web site until Internet-wide scandals compel him to remove them. It’s reasonable to conclude that he actually welcomes the support of Black nationalists, racists, anti-Semites, and Catholic-hating bigots, and will repudiate them only when they look like they will do him more harm than good. Doing the right thing only because one is forced to do so carries very little credit.

(4) Barack Obama endorsed Al Sharpton and his National Action Network, both of which have a well known record of inciting hatred of white people and especially Jews. ”Reverend Sharpton is a voice for the voiceless, and a voice for the dispossessed. What National Action Network has done is so important to change America, and it must be changed from the bottom up.” We encourage our readers to Google on Sharpton and “Tawana Brawley” or “Freddy’s Fashion Mart” or “Yankel Rosenbaum” to learn more about Al “white interlopers” Sharpton.

(5) Barack Obama solicited and accepted the endorsement of MoveOn.org, whose record includes publication of a derogatory photomanipulation of Pope Benedict waving a gavel in front of the U.S. Supreme Court as well as a vicious insult to General David Petraeus.

Barack Obama’s choices as described above are entirely consistent with the following blood libels of America, Israel, and Jews. The blood libels also are entirely consistent with the ideology of George Soros, the billionaire international financier who has backed Obama’s political career: an ideology that defines the United States and Israel as the root causes of most of the world’s trouble.

A. Jeremiah Wright and the Trinity United Church of Christ

(1) Jeremiah Wright said, “We started the AIDS virus, and now that it is out of control we still put more money in the military than in medicine.” This blood libel accuses the United States of a crime against humanity: the creation and propagation of a biological weapon.

(2) The Trinity United Church of Christ’s official bulletin of June 10, 2007, contains a guest piece that alleges, “I must tell you that Israel was the closest ally to the White Supremacists of South Africa. In fact, South Africa allowed Israel to test its nuclear weapons in the ocean off South Africa. The Israelis were given a blank check: they could test whenever they desired and did not even have to ask permission. Both worked on an ethnic bomb that kills Blacks and Arabs.” This blood libel accuses Israel (and South Africa) of conspiracy to commit genocide. Here is a screen shot that we encourage our readers to download and circulate.

B. MoveOn.org
The following anti-Semitic blood libel, straight from MoveOn.org’s now-disgraced Action Forum, says the Talmud is a “hateful scripture” that commands Jews to hate and kill non-Jews. Of the 13 MoveOn.org Action Forum members who voted on this piece, ten agreed with it.

FIGHT ISRAELI APARTHEID TERRORISM
Massacre in Gaza http://www.palestine-info.co.uk/am/publish/article_18657.shtml
By Khalid Amayreh Jun 11, 2006, 14:52
The heart-rending scenes of the Bahr al-Sudaniya massacre in Gaza on Friday, 9 June, shows the Israeli army as it really is, a reptile-Nazi-like army of thugs, hoodlums, and common criminals, not unlike the Gestapo, SS and Wehrmacht.
Indeed, what else can be said about an army that targets with heavy artillery children on an outing along the Gaza beach?
The latest carnage is of course not the first of its kind, and it most certainly won’t be the last. Massacres, after all, have always been Israel’s modus operandi. Israel itself inaugurated its birth with “holy massacres” as Talmudic sages would tell us.
In truth, Zionists have committed more massacres per capita than any other people on earth since Adam and Eve. In fact, one can safely say that wanton killings and massacres are piece and parcel of being Zionist.
I understand that there are Jews who condemn the pornographic slaughter in Gaza, people like Uri Avneri and like-minded Jews. We salute those people, who are our natural partners in the quest for a just and durable peace in Palestine.
However, it is also true that the vast bulk of Israeli Jews are enjoying the killings of Palestinian children and are congratulating each other.
Just take a look at Jewish internet sites in Israel and abroad and see how Jewish youngsters are congratulating each other on the killings of these helpless toddlers in Gaza.
This murderous cannibalism doesn’t come out of the blue. Today in Israel, school curricula are dominated by the Talmud, especially a specific Talmudic text called Shulhan Aruch.
In this text, Jews are commanded to slaughter non-Jews who are viewed more or less as animals or at least lesser human beings.
Of course, Jewish propagandists and apologists would invoke “anti-Semitism” when the truth about the racist, Nazi-like garbage Israeli boys and girls are being taught is exposed through the media.
In fact, if any objective truth-seeker wants to find out why the Israeli army and para-military Jewish terrorists are doing what they are doing to the helpless Palestinians, which is actually nothing less than a slow-motion genocide, one has to go first to the Talmud, the unofficial constitution of Israel. This hateful scripture is Israel’s real Torah as every rabbi would admit.

13 out of 16 MoveOn.org people agreed with the following anti-Semitic blood libel:

We can all see how AIPAC/Israel has taken control of America. Not to get nasty but jews have a long history of subverting governments for their own enrichment and glory to the detriment of whole societies. Many more than “6 million” have died by semetic aggression, 100’s of millions even, remember the conqueror writes history. Even the roman empire feared jewish power. Over and over again, whites, particularly semites have distorted truth through their supremacist, zenophobic minds. Ariel Sharon Oct of 2001 per Kol Israel, “… Don’t worry about america, we control america and the americans know it.”

Meanwhile, while the following are not blood libels, we should certainly not allow them to go unremembered. Again, they should be circulated as widely as possible.

C. Barackobama.com, official Web site of Barack Obama’s campaign, welcomes blood libels of the U.S. and Israel.

This site is under Barack Obama’s editorial control. Pages include links for reporting objectionable material, and the fact that we were able to find these pages shows that “Report Objectionable Content” was not used, or that Obama’s moderators find this material acceptable. The blood libels of Israel are certainly in keeping with Jeremiah Wright’s own “state” of Israel commentary, as in “so-called state of Israel.”

(1) Obama blogger Anna Hussein-(any relation to Saddam, Uday, and Qusay?)-writes, “[Rachel Corrie] was a peace and social justice activist that was purposefully run over and brutally killed by an Israeli Defense Force Caterpillar bulldozer when she was in Palestine trying to prevent a house from being bulldozed.” ~~Saddam~~ Anna Hussein admittedly did not follow up by accusing Israel of making Rachel Corrie’s blood into matzoh bread.

(2) Dr. Levant, another Obama blogger, accuses the United States and Israel of waging war on civilians.

(3) Nader’s challenge to Obama’s Foreign Policy accuses Israel of perpetrating a “slow genocide” of the Palestinian people while accusing the United States of “war crimes.”
(4) Obama Foreign Policy Dream Ticket: Edwards and S Power says, “At the very core of our involvement in Iraq and Iran is our support for the slow genocide of Palestine that the Israelis have been carrying out for the last 60 years in blatant violation of UN Sec Co Resolutions 242, 194, 338, the Geneva Conventions, and International Law.” In case you missed it, the blogger says “past 60 years,” i.e. from the time of what the Palestinians and Jeremiah Wright’s friends in the Sabeel Ecuminical Liberation Theology Center call the nakba, or catastrophe: the foundation of Israel within its internationally recognized 1948 borders.
(5) International Politics - Democracy in Pakistan and Independent Kosovo! says, “But, you know, in response to some of what Samantha was saying, in the 1990s, the worst humanitarian crises in the world, certainly Rwanda and other African nations, certainly in Europe, but Iraq-I mean, where is the label of genocide for the US policy toward Iraq? It was Bill Clinton who initiated the longest sustained bombing campaign since Vietnam against Iraq under the guise of humanitarian intervention in the north and south of that country, the sanctions killing hundreds of thousands of people. I mean, we have had one of the greatest mass slaughters in history, in modern history, in Iraq, going from 1990 to the present, and yet everyone talks about this as though it’s not genocide, as though it’s not part of that bigger picture.”
(8) The Obama Revolution: “Right now America is engaged in a genocidal colonial war in Iraq, for no better reason than the new aristocracy wants more money in the bank - good men and women are being ordered to do terrible things supposedly ‘for their country’ - read Halliburton - while innocent children are murdered in the streets of Basra and Baghdad - feel proud yet? I agree with Michelle Obama - I never REALLY felt proud of this country until we proved we could elect a good man to the White House.”

(9) Bush…war criminal…? says, “ I believe George W. Bush needs to be indicted and tried for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The Bush administration continues to wage an illegal and immoral war against Iraq in violation of the Charter of the U.N., the Nuremberg Judgements, the Hague and Geneva Conventions, and other treaties and articles of international law. This war is both criminal and inhumane. …The invasion of Iraq is a War of Aggression and a Crime against Peace…” Although the writer blames President Bush, the accusations are directed against the United States as a whole (noting that Congress approved the war) and the Armed Forces of the United States (”criminal and inhumane” and violation of “the Hague and Geneva Conventions”).

(10) Murder by Proxy accuses the United States of “crimes against humanity.” “No matter how one attempts to frame it, the killing of 1.2 million Iraqis and countless by-standers represents “crimes against humanity.” And failure to imprison the criminals who launched this illegal invasion, both in the White House and Congress, for their crimes makes every American culpable for the predacious and murderous behavior authorized by the few.” [Note that most of the Iraqis in question were killed by terrorists and Saddam Hussein holdovers, although the dead included terrorists who were murdering American troops and Iraqi civilians. Prior to the invasion, Saddam Hussein had slaughtered about a million of his own people, and he had used poison gas on his country's Kurdish minority.] The entry adds, “The U.S. government and its people are the foremost international terrorists in this world today.”

(11) JEREMIAH AND AMERICA’S BLIND SPOT: “And the truth is, the only difference between Arab terrorism and American terrorism is that we’ve got a much more efficient delivery system. Open your eyes America. True, Al Qaeda killed three thousand Americans, but in response, we’ve killed over a million people who’s done absolutely nothing to us.”

Res ipsa loquitur, the thing speaks for itself. The above blood libels are entirely consistent with Obama’s background (Black identity or outright Black Nationalist politics), his choice of associates (Wright, Sharpton, MoveOn.org), and his reluctance to distance himself from vicious hate mongers like Louis Farrakhan. Do Obama’s supporters have a First Amendment right to say these things? Yes, absolutely. Do we, the voters, have the moral right to judge Obama by the company with which he surrounds himself? Yes, we can and should.
