Zionist Organization of America says Obama's east Jerusalem policy is racist

The Zionist Organization of America is blasting President Obama for telling Israel to not build 20 apartments in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of eastern Jerusalem, calling the policy "racist."

"The ZOA is appalled that the Obama administration is backing Palestinian demands for preventing Jews from building in and moving to eastern Jerusalem," said ZOA president Morton Klein in a statement. "We are also concerned at the blatant inconsistency of the Obama Administration’s approach. Last year, when campaigning for the presidency, Barack Obama called for Jerusalem to remain the undivided capital of Israel. The next day, he retracted that statement, but then insisted that the issue of Jerusalem was one for final status talks between Israel and the PA. Now, however, he is not even adhering to that watered-down position: instead, he is weighing in on the matter on behalf of the racist Palestinian demand that Jews be barred from moving into eastern Jerusalem, a territory the PA claims for itself and wishes to see part of a judenrein Palestinian state."

Klein said "racist" was the most appropriate way to describe the policy. "If you exclude people from moving into an area that Israel has annexed, and you're only saying that because they're Jews, don't see any other term" to use, he told JTA.

I do not even think the term "Chutzpah" is enough to describe the nerve of these people.

Wait for the isreali supporters.


It is ridiculous how easy it is these days to become a racist when talking about Jewish people.

Easier than Katie Price.

The moment I hear ''racist'' used as an accusation these days I pretty much switch off. It's the most overused buzzword I can think of. Its misuse has become an international institution.

And I'm an Israel supporter

Yeah it's sad that it has come to this, were even contructive criticism are met with the "you are a rascist" accusation.

Then you should se how ridicously easy it has become to be called a rascist in Denmark just because one question even a tiny bit of the behavior of some of the muslim immigrants.

That is because you have people who blame all the rape in Denmark on Muslims.

If someone kept saying I raped everybody I would get slightly annoyed too.

Are there more Denmarks than one?
Because the Denmark you describe certainly doesn't match mine.

Well, I have noticed it. Not being called it myself, but rascist is the good old argument of some politicians towards anyone conducting any criticism. At least it was bad a couple of years ago.

Again, those are not who I'm talking about. I'm talking about the fact that it's very easy to be called a rascist eventhough you only slightly critizes some of the immigrants.

Ah the good old card, you can apply it to anything as long as you're not of European orgin.

[Nikos]

Wow, way to go ZOA! One of the most absurd, ridiculous and distasteful things I have ever heard. You're not swinging any support your way ZOA, just losing it with nonsense like this,.

That articles was probably the most hilarious one posted yet, though I'm neutral when it comes to this issue, the word racism has lost it's impact. Every usesit these days and they're not banned from the west bank because they are jewish but because it would upset progress but that's already happened. I support Jewish existance but they overplay the racist card to the point where they can't be taken seriously.

We have self proclaimed racists on this forum?

its a ToS violation to call someone racist?

Racism might as well be removed from the dictionary for all the meaning it has lost.

As much as I support the existence of Israel, these loons get on my nerves. Jewish settlers tend to be religious fanatics, the prob is when they're removed, Muslim fanatics move in... and they usually bring rockets with them.

What a depressing state of affairs. Why hasn't Obama fixed this yet, can't he give a diploapology to someone to make this go away?

What constitutes an Israel supporter?

If Obama's pissing off the pinko-Zionists he must be doing something right.
