A rare sight, Obama growing some balls and exposing arguably the largest lobby in US,AIPAC, outsized influence and control of capitol hill

[Jalether]

This is the most honest I have ever seen Obama and tbf to him, He's the only US president that has ever stood up to Bibi and Israel



politicians and candidates are terrified to go against them, this is why over 95 percent of dems including those that
normally lean left all support Israel

RARE? SMH...

That was very good book.

I recommend it.

Netanyahu hated Obama with a passion while he was in office. He never seemed to have forgive him for that middle east tour he took when he was first elected. I remember all sorts of grumbling because, if I remember correctly, he visited the several Arab countries before he visited Israel.

If you look up any videos of Obama and Netanyahu, you can tell they never got along. Obama was always willing to call Israel out on their shyt and was willing to work with middle eastern leaders to some extent.

I bet Netanyahu saw this excerpt and was big ass mad about it. Because, Obama read him accurately and you know it's one thing for someone to view you this way, but for a lot of whites like Netanyahu, it really pisses them off when a black man does it.

Exactly. He was consistent and bold when it came to Israel, well as bold as a US president can be anyway

I wish he took it further by vetoing or putting conditions on aid to israel but that would be political suicide given that country's influence over America

Like I said in the other thread, they definitely got their wake-up call in that thread trying to go at a Republican.
Then you had Conservatives co-signing AOC in her replies and other Liberals liking their comments.

They got both parties going at them because all these years they've been playing both sides.

I remember white people throwing a fit when Obama made this speech while President. I guess standing up for the Palestines rights means you're a anti-Jewish bigot. Select the link to watch on YouTube since the owner is trash.

There's so much secret money and not-so-hidden corruption in American politics. Well, most world politics if we're keeping it real.

AIPAC though is insanely insidious and an arm of Israel. Huge reason why USA is so fukked up in regards to Israel.

 

[Piff Perkins]

It's worth noting Netanyahu made it a personal mission to attack, denigrate, and disrespect Obama for years during his presidency over the most minor of criticisms of Israel. The reason the split between American Jews and Israeli Jews is so dire is in large part because Netanyahu basically gave people an ultimatum of supporting Obama or supporting Israel, and the Jews in the US said we'll stick with Obama sorry bro.


Dude is a piece of shyt of the highest magnitude. And it sounds like he might be gone soon. Even Jews in Israel sounds like they're done with him.

For real. He’s been the hardest on Israel in my lifetime. Had Netanyahu taking shots at him AND Michelle

You sure it was only cause of that ?

 

[Jalether]

I had no idea Obama was pro palestine earlier on in his career. that explains his relationship with Bibi and his most recent comment
