@MirabelleW18 @JNS_org Obama was called by Jeffrey Goldberg the first Jewish president. Goldberg assured us Obama felt Israel's painful existence in "his kishkes". We now know Obama feels Palestinian pain in his kishkes; no more pretending. @davidaxelrod will never defy him on this bias. /1
@MirabelleW18 @JNS_org @davidaxelrod American Jews preferred to listen to Goldberg's platitudes rather than remember that Ali Abunimah, from "The Electronic intifada", in his own testimonial, recounted:

@MirabelleW18 @JNS_org @davidaxelrod Abunimah helpfully adds later in article: "... given his historically close relations to Palestinian-Americans, Obama's about-face is not surprising.

@MirabelleW18 @JNS_org @davidaxelrod Obama literally admits, to Abunimah and in this memoir, that he was wearing a mask, lying to his hapless and gullible Jewish voters who were in ecstatic delirium about this candidate.
Too bad his face has not grown to fit that mask. /7
