Dear Friends,
I think that I should start with the definition of “speaking with a forked tongue,” according to Cambridge International Dictionary of Idioms, Cambridge University Press 1998: “to make false promises or to speak in a way which is not honest.”
This definition fits Barack Obama to a “T”.
On Wednesday, June 4, Obama pledged to a meeting of the powerful Washington lobby American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) his “unshakeable commitment to Israel’s security” if he is elected president. “Israel’s security is sacrosanct. It is non-negotiable… any agreement with the Palestinian people must preserve Israel’s identity as a Jewish state, with secure, recognized, and defensible borders. Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel and it must remain undivided,” Obama declared to enthusiastic applause from the 7000-plus attendees at the AIPAC policy conference.
Already on the very next day, Thursday, June 5, Obama completely changed his tune because of Arab opposition to his declaration of support for a united Jerusalem.
Without shame, Obama then hides behind his so-called “campaign advisors” to “clarify” his real thoughts:
“Jerusalem might also serve as the capital of a Palestinian state, or there might be Palestinian sovereignty over Arab neighborhoods…Well, obviously it’s going to be up to the parties to negotiate a range of these issues. And Jerusalem will be a part of those negotiations… As a practical matter, it would be very difficult to execute [a policy of the capital remaining undivided.]”
In other words, Obama’s speech to AIPAC is a prime example of his great skill in speaking with a forked tongue!
I am including here some of Obama’s quotes from books that he wrote. I am grateful to my friend Sandy Martin for sending these revealing quotes to me. She points out that Barack Obama wants to be our President and control our government. She asks us to pay close attention to his last comment, which is certainly both revealing and frightening.
*In Obama’s own words…….
*/From Dreams of My Father/: "I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites." (Obama was born to a white American mother and a black Kenyan father.)
*/From Dreams of My Father/: "I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race."
*/From Dreams of My Father/: "There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe."
*/From Dreams of My Father/: "It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."
*/From Dreams of My Father/: "I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, _the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela_."
* /From Audacity of Hope/: "I WILL STAND WITH THE MUSLIMS SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION."
[RM: An extraordinarily frightening comment by a person who aspires to be president of the United States!]
Barack Hussein Muhammad Obama is certainly not a friend of the Jews or Israel. G-d forbid that Obama’s skill at speaking with a forked tongue should propel him into the presidency of Israel’s long time ally and friend, the United States.
If you are a lover of Israel, please do not be tempted to let Barack Obama’s charismatic speeches influence you. It is important that you listen carefully to what he says today! Then listen even more carefully to what he says tomorrow on the same subject! Most importantly, pay careful attention to what he says just before you pull the lever in November.
With Blessings and Love for Israel,
Ruth Matar
