The Clintons have always been strong supporters of the Jewish community and Israel. President Clinton spent an enormous amount of time trying to broker a deal between Israel and the Palestinians. In addition President Clinton had numerous Jewish people in his administration including his Cabinet Ministers. Hillary has the same respect for the Jewish community and she will be a strong supporter of us and Israel. Obhama's church and spiritual adviser honored Farakan this year. At the time Obhama appeared to support his church's position until the press broke the news about this matter. Only then did he say he disagreed with his church. We cannot support someone who changes his position when the press reports on his silence. He clearly has no problem with Farakan . Why did he fail to speak up at the time? Why did he not find another church? Why has he remained faithful to his spiritual adviser who honored Farkan (who went on a trip with him to Africa)? The answer has to be he agrees with his church and believed Farakan deserved to be honored. In addition Obhama has said the Palestinians are the most persecuted people on earth. In addition he stated when he was President he would negotiate with Hamas. Obhama is certainly not on the side of the Jewish community. We must support Clinton!
