That’s what presidential candidate Barack Obama thinks according to this Des Moines Register article:

Illinois Sen. Barack Obama on Sunday told a small group of Iowa Democrats that U.S. policy in the Middle East can be compassionate as well as tough, while he also provided these influential voices in the leadoff caucus state with an up-close view of him as a presidential candidate.

Obama told the Muscatine-area party activists that he supports relaxing restrictions on aid to the Palestinian people. He said they have suffered the most as a result of stalled peace efforts with Israel.

“Nobody is suffering more than the Palestinian people,” Obama said while on the final leg of his weekend trip to eastern Iowa. “If we could get some movement among Palestinian leadership, what I’d like to see is a loosening up of some of the restrictions on providing aid directly to the Palestinian people,” he added.

What a joke. Obama has a charisma that Hillary is envious of (and that Bill had) but he’s utterly clueless when it comes to foreign policy. The Palestinian people elected a bunch of terrorists to their government. To think of Palestinians as victims denies the fact that their votes installed Hamas as their official government. As is always the case, people get the government they deserve. In this instance, they deserved a terrorist government. It’s impossible for me to feel sorry for the Palestinians when they voted for this disaster.

Israel’s survival as a powerful democratic ally in the Middle East must remain a top priority, Obama said. “There is also no doubt that we have a huge strategic stake in bringing about a peaceful resolution to the conflict,” he said. But the United States cannot broker that resolution until the Palestinian government recognizes the nation of Israel.

This is typical Obama. First he says that a President Obama would loosen up the restrictions on aid to the Palestinian people, then he says that we can’t broker a deal with the Palestinian government until they recognize Israel’s right to exist. HELLO!!! The Palestinian government is Hamas. Hamas won’t recognize Israel’s right to exist. They’ll say something that gets aid flowing to them but they’ll never admit that Israel has a right to exist.

Statements like that should scare everyone of an Obama presidency. He’s utterly wishy-washy and clueless on foreign policy. He’s as much of an empty suit as John Edwards is.

1. Sure they’ll admit Israel has a right to exist, but they won’t mean it. It’s just a ruse to get the money flowing. More to the point, how can Obama not see that most of that money will be diverted into funding terrorism? Even if it isn’t technically diverted, it would still fund terrorism by freeing up other funds to spend on terrorism.

2. If I were to remove 1 cubic millimeter of skin each day, eventually my body would be festering with sores. Everyone would have to feel sorry for me because my neighbor, whom I dislike intensely, would be at fault for making me remove each patch of skin each day simply by virtue of being my neighbor. And not only does my neighbor cause me to remove that skin, he complains when I beat his kids, too!

   Is it something in the brand of ciggy Barrack Hussein smokes?
