Disavow The Anti-Semites, Mr. Obama

If Barack Obama is elected as our next President, it seems likely that the ties between Israel and America would not be so close as they have been in recent years. Ed Lasky writes in The American Thinker:

One seemingly consistent theme running throughout Barack Obama's career is his comfort with aligning himself with people who are anti-Israel advocates. This ease around Israel animus has taken various forms. As Obama has continued his political ascent, he has moved up the prestige scale in terms of his associates. Early on in his career he chose a church headed by a former Black Muslim who is a harsh anti-Israel advocate and who may be seen as tinged with anti-Semitism. This church is a member of a denomination whose governing body has taken a series of anti-Israel actions.


As his political fortunes and ambition climbed, he found support from George Soros, multibillionaire promoter of groups that have been consistently harsh and biased critics of the American-Israel relationship.

Enough of the soaring, vapid rhetoric, Mr. Obama, let's hear you disavow Soros, Wright, and Farrakhan.

Update: Obama has done it. Here is a statement he issued on January 15. "I decry racism and anti-Semitism in any form and strongly condemn the anti-Semitic statements by Minister Farrakhan." Good start, now lets hear you denounce Wright and Soros.
