BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) - Barack Obama is promising an "unshakable commitment" to Israel if he is elected president. The Illinois senator also says he hopes his presidency would help improve strained relations between American black and Jewish communities.

The Illinois senator was speaking a town hall meeting at a synagogue in Florida on Thursday.

Democratic presidential candidates didn't campaign in Florida during the primary, but Obama is focusing on the state now that he's close to wrapping up the nomination.

Some Jewish voters are turned off by his willingness to negotiate with countries like Iran and Syria. Others reject Obama because of e-mails spreading false rumors about him.

Obama stresses that he wouldn't negotiate with the militant Palestinian group Hamas.

This is only right, since the Os promise unshakable support for him.

Looks like a few are getting cranky..

Even the AP can't figure out Obama's foreign policy

"This is only right, since the Os promise unshakable support for him."

I don't like this posture, but I understand it. Barack Obama, or anyone else who realistically seeks to be POTUS has to deal with the political land mines that come with the territory.

You hate that, I hate that, but it is a fact of life currently that Obama's lack of support for the proxy war in Iraq the neocons started to advance policy goals of the Israelis and them scares the piss out of Israeli firsters.

I am not going to condemn him for navigating through these explosive waters, but I will be one of many people putting the pressure on to back away from Israel when he becomes president. Just as many Zionists will never back him as they see the same thing I do; someone who would be willing to re-evaluate and change our toxic relationship with the Jewish state in the Middle East.

That scares the piss out of them.

Just yesterday this story hit the news about the simmering violence in Crown Heights that began 17 years ago and resulted in the stabbing death of Yankel Rosenbaum.

Two points two consider:

Please notice that the story never mentioned "forgiveness". Those familiar with Holocaust history (and, who isn't?) need not ask why Jewish voices don't use the word. But, "Why wouldn't some peace loving African American minister or community leader invoke Christian love and forgiveness at this time?" some may wonder.

Well, perhaps it's because the African American youth (who is now approaching middle age) charged with violating Rosenbaum's civil rights by killing him went on trial three times, received a ten year sentence but was not released to a halfway house until 2004!

Had he been tried, convicted and not won new trials on appeal then even without credit for good behavior he'd have likely completed his sentence and been released years ago.

But, the issue is still burning white hot in NYC, and neither side will utter the word "forgiveness", and the "outside public" who knows nothing about the background and endless criminal trials are getting only part of the picture.

Otherwise, the whole story would reflect badly on the community that refuses to forgive and normalize relations. Can you imagine the outcry if (in 2003) the prosecutor had said, "We're not going to re-file charges because the average 1st degree murderer only serves 8 years, the maximum he can serve is ten years and Lemrick Nelson, Jr. has already served more than enough time."?

footnote: This was the first time in our history that a non white was charged with violating the civil riots of a "white". Now, blacks murder whites every day and every time we're told by career prosecutors that race isn't a motive.

What was different about the Rosenbaum murder?

Family Seeks Longer Term For Stabbing In Crown Hts.

Expressing regret that he could not impose a harsher penalty, a federal judge sentenced Lemrick Nelson yesterday to 10 years in prison for the fatal stabbing of Yankel Rosenbaum in the Crown Heights racial unrest of 1991. (August 21, 2003)

After the death of Gavin Cato, members of the black community believed that the decision to remove Lifsh from the scene first was racially motivated. They also maintained that this was one example of a perceived system of preferential treatment afforded to Jews in Crown Heights.[9] The preferential treatment was reported to include biased actions by law enforcement and allocations of government resources amongst others.

So, despite their expectations of preferential treatment and an exempliary human sacrifice as a warning to others it would appear that the Jewish community wants to again posture as "the best friends of downtrodden blacks" and, they just don't seem to understand why that DAWG won't hunt.
