Declared 2012 Democratic Presidential Candidate
Current President of the United States

Barack Obama

Presidential Candidate Barack Obama

Obama Position on the Palestinian Issue

• Obama has already angered Palestinians by saying that "Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel and it must remain undivided." Obama has had to backtrack, but Palestinians and Israelis have been left wondering if he really understands the complexity of their situation.

• While Obama was talking to a group of Democrats he stated that "Nobody is suffering more than the Palestinian people."?

• Obama strongly states that the smuggling of weapons and ammunitions to Gaza should be put to a stop completely.

• He also proclaimed that "America is committed to Israel's security. And we will always support Israel's right to defend it self against legitimate threats."

• Obama is full of praise for Jordan and its "constructive role in training Palestinian security forces and nurturing its relations with Israel"

• Obama states that "As a part of a lasting cease fire, Gaza?s border crossings should be open to allow the flow of aid and commerce, with an appropriate monitoring regime."

• Two statements that he made have really made an impact and they are (1) "The United States does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements." and (2) the Palestinians should have a "state of their own."

• During his interview with the 'Atlantic', Obama proclaimed that the concept of a Jewish state is "fundamentally just." He feels that USA should reinforce the hands of Palestinian moderates.

• He strongly supports on fully funding military assistance to Israel and on cooperating with Israel on the growth of the Arrow missile defense system.

• He called America's 'strong bond' with Israel 'unbreakable' and stated that "it is based upon cultural and historical ties and the recognition that the aspiration for a Jewish homeland is rooted in a tragic history that cannot be denied."

Matt Snyder

Presidential Candidate Matt Snyder

Snyder Position on the Palestinian Issue

Israel has given up at least 20% of its land to the Palestinians since 1923. Imagine the U.S. agreeing to relinquish Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and another piece of land the size of Ohio. Then, with modern warfare technologies, the new inhabitants of these states decide to fire rockets into the remaining states. If that were the world we lived in, how would we feel about giving in to world pressure and giving up more land to nations whose leaders have proclaimed their desires to eradicate us from the Earth?

Snyder understands that Israel has the military might to destroy its enemies, yet it does not. He believes that this is not the behavior of an evil nation. Like Israel, the U.S. has the power to eradicate, yet it does not. It is the nature of evil to attack the innocent. The nature of good is to defend them. No reasonable person can look at the history of the Palestinians' unprovoked attacks against civilians, and determine that this entity is a force for good.

Snyder's stance on the Palestinians is no different than his stance on any other foreign body: any time evil rears its head against the allies of America, America will be there to remove its fangs. If graves must be dug, it is better that they are filled with the bodies of evil-doers than their would-be victims.
