This may help explain Barack Obama’s animosity towards the Jews…
Barack and Michelle Obama attend a May 1998 Arab community event in Chicago where their friend Edward Said gave the keynote speech.
Campus Watch reported more on Obama and his friend and instructor Edward Said:
The invaluable Andrew McCarthy takes note of a connection between Barack Obama and Edward Said,an apologist for terrorism,who played a key role in changing the field of Middle East Studies towards an anti-Western and anti-Israel bias.
Said,a writer and professor at Columbia University,trained many of the Middle East professors who now broadcast his message to thousands of students across America and the world. Said hated Israel so much that he was seen throwing rocks from Lebanon at Israeli soldiers across the border.
His role in distorting the field of Middle Eastern studies has prompted a counter-movement led,among others,by the esteemed Bernard Lewis of Princeton University.
