Obama has ambushed the Muslim invitees
by unleashing Israel’s viciously racist
ambassador, Ron Dermer, as the first
speaker at the event, says an analyst.
Dermer has famously said that Arabs and
Muslims have “a cultural tendency towards
belligerency” that is “deeply imbedded in
the culture of the Arab world and its
foremost religion.”
In his article for the Press TV website,
political commentator Kevin Barrett lashed
out at Obama for his recent remarks that Tel
Aviv has “the right to defend itself.”
“By uttering that genocidal lie, Obama
condemned himself as a war criminal,” he
said. “Lying about the most basic fact
about the occupation of Palestine – that
the Zionists are the aggressors, and the
Palestinians are defending themselves,
their homes, their land, their children, and
their honor – is a war crime.”
Israel’s current carnage of Palestinians in
the Gaza Strip is a new phase in the Zionist
regime’s deep-rooted genocide plan in the
besieged enclave.
“Ever since the Zionists invaded Palestine,
they have been the aggressors, and their
aggression has been in service to genocide.
It is the Palestinians who have the right to
defend themselves against genocide,”
Barrett wrote.
He said the Israeli regime’s military strikes
against the Palestinians constitute no act of
self-defense, adding that the Zionist regime
“is committing aggression, and has been
trying to eliminate Palestine and the
Palestinians for more than six decades.”
Since July 8, Israel has struck more than
1,800 targets across Gaza, which is home to
around 1.8 million Palestinians. The strikes
have so far claimed the lives of 230 people
with more than 1,700 others injured.
Despite international calls for an end to
Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said recently
that the Tel Aviv regime was hitting Gaza
“with growing force” and that there was no
end in sight.
