Obama palling around with son of a terrorist

None of you guys seemed concerned about Obama's love of terrorists before the election, the facts were out there.
 
Many Likud party members were paramilitaries during the birth of Israel. Strangly no one batted an eyelid at this when it was Bush doing the talking... So what is this? We're not alowed to deal with people for crimes committed by family members/ former criminals?

Might I remind you that many former colonies were in fact penal colonies? If that's the case a whole lot of the US is no longer allowed to function in modern society, and Australia? Well, may as well just blockade that place, they're all (great great etc grand) sons and daughters of crims.

Or is this the case that it's ok to deal with people with dodgy paths, if they're our kind or terrorist or butcher?

Or is it just because it's Obama?
 
Profile on BBC news

Rahm Emanuel's father, Benjamin, is an Israeli-born doctor who was once a member of the Irgun, a hard-line group which fought for Israeli independence until 1948 as was branded as a terrorist organisation by the British colonial authorities.

The prospective chief-of-staff himself volunteered to serve in Israel's army during the first Gulf War of 1991 - rust-proofing brakes in northern military bases, Israeli media reports.

brutally effective taskmaster. . .

The Republicans always had killers on their side, ruthless closers like Karl Rove, Tom DeLay and Lee Atwater, the late mudslinging mastermind credited with getting the first President Bush elected. In Emanuel, Democrats had their counterpart, a tactician of a caliber the party had not seen since the young Lyndon Johnson converted the DCCC into a power base. . .

The point is...

*deep breath*

you don't have to look far in the annals of power before someone knows someone who is or was a terrorist. Degrees of separation between randomly selected person in a position of power and a terrorist is .... not very much.


The other point is ...

terrorism isn't absolute, much like evil, it depends on viewpoint.

Jews killing Brits : Bad - back then, no big deal now, even perfectly good tennis, what what ; unless it were to happen again.

Muslims killing Russians : Not only not bad, but jolly good show.

Anti Castro terrorism, just dandy.

Anti Chavez or pretty much any more tanned South American type who cares more about poor people than rich (American or British) corporations terrorists : freedom fighters!!!!

Bill Ayers : At the time - booga booga; Three years ago - who the heck cares?; last month - booga booga; next month - who the heck cares?

Perhaps the fact that every US president since Vietnam has had connections with terrorists might have something to do with that?
 
I kinda figured that's what you were getting at here, but... But how do you think this will affect Middle East policy?

Honestly? Given the strength of the Israeli lobby... Business as usual.
