President Barack Obama¹s longtime pastor at Trinity United Church, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, has announced his support for the anti-Semitic ³March to Jerusalem² at the end of March. The White House has refused comment.
The ³March to Jerusalem² is a massive campaign designed to send anti-Israel partisans across Israel¹s borders and into Jerusalem. The National Conference on Jewish Affairs reports Iran's government is involved in the organization of the event and plans to send thousands of participants in caravans, whose schedules have been published by the Quds News agency.
As the Anti-Defamation League has pointed out, the Facebook page for the group features ³worldwide Jewish lobby news²; when you click for such nefarious news, you¹re directed to a website pushing Holocaust denial. The Facebook page is also virulently anti-gay, condemning Tel Aviv for its gay-friendly policies and stating that such policies are part and parcel of ³historical Jewish efforts to spread corruption and perversion among all human societies.²
Does Jeremiah Wright still matter? Of course. These are the sorts of folks Obama has spent a lifetime palling around with and learning from. And no amount of throwing-under-the-bus can change Barack Obama¹s history of anti-Semitic associations.
