Obama on Why the US Has Not Condemned Israel’s Human Rights Violations against the Occupied Palestinian People
A question was posed to US president Barack Obama at a town hall meeting in Tampa, Florida on 28 January. Obama took this as an opportunity to “talk about the Middle East generally.” Obama: "Israel is one of our strongest allies." Would one’s strongest allies coax it into the quagmire of aggression and occupation? The US faces stiff resistance in Iraq; nonetheless, Israeli hawks encourage military action against Iran. Obama: "It is a vibrant democracy." For who? Not for all its citizens. This is made clear by Israeli professor Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi.
