Stuart Littlewood calls on Senator Barack Obama “to stop trying to reframe the situation in the Holy Land by sweeping inconvenient UN resolutions under the carpet, and end the arms supply and other huge subsidies" to the Middle East's greatest terrorist regime, Israel.
Excuse me, who is this new kid called Obama, who was unknown outside the US five minutes ago but now barges into the Holy Land announcing that it's OK for Israel to grab the hallowed City of Jerusalem and turn it into the permanent headquarters of the Zionist regime?
Jerusalem "will remain the capital of Israel and it must remain undivided," he told the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
Obama's position on Jerusalem is at variance with UN resolutions
Realizing his gaffe, he moderated the tone slightly by telling CNN: "Well, obviously, it's going to be up to the parties to negotiate a range of these issues. And Jerusalem will be part of those negotiations... And I think that it is smart for us to work through a system in which everybody has access to the extraordinary religious sites in Old Jerusalem, but that Israel has a legitimate claim on that city."
A legitimate claim? How does he figure that?
