At Yad Vashem-- Obama Fails to Soothe Jewish Fears

This Is Not Good--
Barack Obama refused to ensure Israel today that there will not be another Holocaust...
Right after a tour of Yad Vashem Memorial!
Jake Tapper at the Political Punch reported:
An Israeli journalist called out to Obama: “Can you ensure that there will be no second Holocaust?”Jennifer Rubin has more on his difficulties today at Commentary Magazine.
Obama walked into the museum’s main building without responding...
Once again an Israeli journalist asked the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee how he’d help prevent a second Holocaust. "Senator can you assure Israel that there will be no second Holocaust despite Iran's threat to wipe us off the map?" he asked.
Obama demurred, saying that it wasn't appropriate to answer the question there.
"This is Yad Vashem!" the journalist responded.
Obama said he would answer the question at a later press availability.
And, Dean Barnett points out this stunning pile of anti-Israel Lefty trope that Obama spewed out during his press conference yesterday in Amman:
These startling slips by Obama cannot be comforting to the Jewish community."It (peace) is not only in the interest of the Palestinian people that their situation improves - I believe that it is in the interest of the Israeli people…That’s why terrorism is so counterproductive as well as being immoral because it makes I believe the Israelis want to dig in and simply think about their own security regardless of what’s going on beyond their borders."Israel, as recently as last week, has consistently scrambled for peace and has willingly engaged terrorist organizations to do so. Far from driving Israel into “digging in,” Hezbollah’s terrorist activities have often had their desired effect. And yet Barack Obama yesterday peddled the risible notion that Arab terrorism had somehow squelched the Israeli desire for peace and forced Israel into a protective shell.
How can Obama, he of the “talented, incredible gift of a mind,” be unaware of such basic facts? Then again, in Obama-world, perhaps such a deal would be called “tough and principled diplomacy.” Regardless, Obama’s assertion that terrorism has made Israel "dig in" is ludicrously counterfactual. I understand that on the Obama campaign bus they only watch ESPN, but it’s still surprising that the news of last week’s prisoner swap escaped the presumptive nominee’s notice.
UPDATE: Debbie Schlussel reports that the Israelis are not fooled by the traveling road show-- As of Tuesday morning, "Israelis for Obama," had about 57 members. and only six actually live in Israel.

Obama's entire campaign, never mind his taqqiyah policies, are disturbingly uncomfortable to the average rational human being period..
Obama's policies may have 2 lanes, but the course he's on is still a one way street..

Obama's biggest gaffe ever:
"Well let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel's," he said, according to a transcript of the press conference.
How hard is it to say you will do all in your power to ensure such a thing never happens again? Even if your concept of how to bring that about is completely at odds with your opponent's, the objective of preventing another Holocaust shouldn't be a difficult one to embrace! He'd rather just avoid the question!!?
john galt - who says the quote you wrote of Obama's is a gaffe at all. It is called a Freudian slip.

John Galt @ 10:18 AM..
i just happened to catch that, and no one seemed to notice.. just as no one even blinked an eye when Dan Rather called BHO OBL..
that is why i say.. obviously no one feels it necessary to actually listen to what Obama is spewing as long as they can hear him..

bg,

Many are actually beginning to listen to what spews forth from the Obamamessiah. That is why he is tanking and that is why the DNC is trying to keep Hillary's name out of nomination.
What must be distressing for the Obamamessiah and his worshipers is the fact that despite the very best efforts of the "Pearl necklace" MSM people are actually hearing what the Obamamessiah is saying. It is proof positive that the MSM is no longer the gatekeeper of information. The only hope that the owners of the Democratic party had of pulling this POS Obama over on the American people was if they could control the information about him, bury his and his wife's gaffes and have him ”Vogue” his way through the campaign.
"Obama demurred, saying that it wasn't appropriate to answer the question there. "
Of course not. His speechwriter hadn't formed his answer.
He probably doesn't think the halocaust happened so how can he say what he doesn't think happened won't happen again.He did spend twenty years listening to a hate spewing "pastor".

Take a close look at the important people who support Obama. One of them is Rashid Khalidi here in the U.S. who has gone all over the nation to speak out against the Holocaust. Many other supporters are either anti-semitic or anti-Israel which in my book is not much of a difference.
