Khalidi's statements on the status of Palestinians in Israel and the Israeli-occupied territories have been the most controversial. In an interview on PBS, Khalidi used the term "occupied" in reference to Mandatory Palestine in 1948, saying "about half of it was occupied by Israel (which under UNGA 181 was supposed to obtain roughly 55% of Mandate Palestine, and which by the time of the armistice had taken control of about 78%, including half of what was to have been the Arab state)... the remainder was, as you say, under Egyptian and Jordanian control from 1948-1967."
LOL ... what utter nonsense. And, on top of the obvious lying here, is the absurd idea that the UN intended Gaza and the West Bank to be some sort of future all Arab state; there is nothing in the League of Nations nor the UN resolutions that endorse making these territories some sort of 'Jew Free Zone'. They didn't become 'Jew Free' until the illegal Egyptian and Jordanian invasions, massacres of Jews, and occupations. But, why introduce actual facts into it ...

Maybe utter nonsense, but it doesn't tarnish Obama. Hillary's PLO friends don't seem to have tarnished her in any way. As you say both sides have their friendships and alliances. I seem to remember the Kennedy's were supporters of a revolutionary group in Ireland.

I don't think all the people who have come out in support of Obama are stupid or have a secret agenda. I think they like his views.
When this war started and that American guy was being sought as a traitor, I thought to myself, "I have to pick a side right now." I chose the American side. I don't hate Mideastern people or think they are all terrorists, so I have a fine line to walk, but some evidently don't see it the same way I do.
But just maybe his friendships and associations will give Obama a position to help some situations.
The rogue terrorist is what I worry about. And the rogue financier of terrorism.
I wish whoever gets in the White House would keep Condoleezza Rice. Or at least give their ear to her. These times require all our top and smart people to be contributers.
