Another Terrorist Endorses Obama

...And Obama's response is to attack John McCain for mentioning it. But seriously, it is unsurprising that Hamas would prefer Barack Obama. He, after all, has a foreign policy advisor - Robert Malley - whose enthusiasm for Hamas and disdain for Israel is well-known thanks to Malley's own published writings. In short, Malley thinks the United States should "do business" with Hamas, an Iranian-backed terrorist group bent on the destruction of Israel and eradication of the Jews who live there.

The good news: McCain's response to Obama was on target.

Today, Senator Obama is complaining about comments John McCain made about a senior Hamas advisor stating that Hamas would welcome Senator Obama's election as president. Indeed, on April 13th, senior Hamas political advisor Ahmed Yousef said, 'We don't mind - actually we like Mr. Obama. We hope he will (win) the election and I do believe he is like John Kennedy, great man with great principle, and he has a vision to change America to make it in a position to lead the world community but not with domination and arrogance.'

The McCain campaign has never suggested that Senator Obama supports Hamas' agenda, but it is more than fair to raise this quote about Senator Obama because it speaks to the policy implications of his judgment.

Just today, the president of Iran, whom Senator Obama wants to meet with unconditionally, called the state of Israel a 'stinking corpse.' Iran is the paymaster and state sponsor of Hamas.

In his victory speech this week, Senator Obama stated that 'wisdom' is meeting with our enemies, including Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, North Korea's Kim Jong Il, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez and Cuba's Raul Castro. John McCain couldn't disagree more. Rather than giving tyrants and dictators the prestige of meeting with an American president, John McCain will instead meet with the champions of human freedom around the world and opposition leaders fighting for liberty .

Which means McCain won't be looking for ways to "do business" with our enemies.

I agree. "McCain won't be looking for ways to "do business" without enemies." He'll be looking to follow the failed foreign policies of the Bush administration.

Obama, on the other hand, believes in exhausting diplomatic options before invading another nation that may or may not be a threat to the U.S.

For the record, Obama has clearly stated he would NOT even consider negotiating with Hamas unless they recognized Israel's right to exist.

Me, and most others in the Jewish community and in Israel find that quite reasonable.
