This lie didn't take long to expose itself. On Wednesday:
On his first day as presumptive Democratic nominee, Barack Obama on Wednesday provoked a foreign policy row with Palestinian leaders after pouring lavish praise on Israel.On Thursday, however, Obama completely backtracks from what he told those in attendance at the AIPAC meeting. I like the take Infidels are Cool has on this:
The victorious Democratic presidential candidate said Jerusalem must remain the undivided capital of Israel, and said any Israel-Palestinian peace deal must preserve Israel's integrity as a Jewish state.
I’m sure we’ll see plenty more of this. Lying through his teeth so he doesn’t get booed at a major speech, and then letting his campaign folks deal with the REAL story later…Adding to that:
Obama makes himself look all great when he claimed at AIPAC that Jerusalem must remain undivided.“Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided,” Obama declared Wednesday, to rousing applause from the 7,000-plus attendees at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee policy conference.Well now he’s backtracking and saying otherwise…But a campaign adviser clarified Thursday that Obama believes “Jerusalem is a final status issue, which means it has to be negotiated between the two parties” as part of “an agreement that they both can live with.”
“Two principles should apply to any outcome,” which the adviser gave as: “Jerusalem remains Israel’s capital and it’s not going to be divided by barbed wire and checkpoints as it was in 1948-1967.”
He refused, however, to rule out other configurations, such as the city also serving as the capital of a Palestinian state or Palestinian sovereignty over Arab neighborhoods.Jesus would never lie like this.
"Beyond those principles, all other aspects are for the two parties to agree at final status negotiations," the Obama adviser said.
Many on the right of the political spectrum among America's Jews welcomed Obama's remarks at AIPAC, but the clarification of his position left several cold.
