My latest in PJ Media:
Whatever the merits or lack thereof of Barack Obama’s presidency, he certainly leads all other presidents in the number of autobiographies he has written, with three compared to a number of his peers who are tied at one. However, his latest one, A Promised Land, is more than just an update on the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of the Most Undeservedly Celebrated Man on the Planet; it’s a full-on apologia for his policies as president, and a program for his impending third term, aka the Biden administration.
The weighty 768-page tome not only tells you more about His Wonderfulness than you ever thought you wanted to know; it also provides a potted Leftist history of Israel that abundantly illustrates how Leftists see our most reliable ally in the Middle East, and why they hate it with such focused laser-beam intensity.
Obama portrays Britain and then Israel as occupying powers in Palestine, without ever explaining who actually owned the land they were and are supposedly occupying. He makes no mention of the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine. As The Palestinian Delusion explains in detail, the Mandate directed the British to encourage “close settlement by Jews on the land” for “the establishment of the Jewish national home.” What gave the League the right to do such a thing? The dying Ottoman Empire had ceded Palestine to the League in 1918. Jews had lived in that land from time immemorial, and it was otherwise sparsely populated. It was a perfect place for the Jews who faced discrimination, harassment and worse in Europe and elsewhere to settle.
Thus the common assumption, which Obama fosters, that the Israelis are illegitimate occupiers of a land that belongs rightly to the Palestinians, founders on the facts. There never was a Palestinian state. No Palestinian king, or emperor, or president. There never was a Palestinian nationality or ethnicity distinct from the nationality and ethnicity of the Arabs of the region. Palestine, like Staten Island or Georgetown, was always the name of a region, not a nation-state or ethnonational home.
Obama also claims that the Jews “organized highly trained armed forces to defend their settlements,” without mentioning that in 1919, a Muslim leader, Amin al-Husseini, a member of a prominent Arab clan in Jerusalem, orchestrated a series of attacks on Jews all over Palestine. The following year, he instigated riots in Jerusalem during Passover. Amid mass looting and rapes, six Jews were murdered and over two hundred more injured. A court of inquiry found that “the Jews were the victims of a peculiarly brutal and cowardly attack, the majority of the casualties being old men, women and children.”
There is more. Read the rest here.
Dave from SanAntonio says
0bama has never changed his support of islam. He has my vote for the worst American President, ever. Not because of that, entirely, but because he never supported the Consitiution or the U.S. citizen.
maria says
Obama is a muslim, the worst president America ever had and the worst black racist antisemite and supporter of all who are against the Jews. He is a neo nazi
mortimer says
Obama is just another fraudulent Chicago politician.
Chicago has a long history of political corruption, dating to the incorporation of the city in 1833. It has been a de facto monolithic entity of the Democratic Party from the mid 20th century onward. Research released by the University of Illinois at Chicago reports that Chicago and Cook County’s judicial district recorded 45 public corruption convictions for 2013, and 1642 convictions since 1976, when the Department of Justice began compiling statistics. This prompted many media outlets to declare CHICAGO the “CORRUPTION CAPITAL OF AMERICA”.
James Lincoln says
maria,
Pres. Obama is either a muslim or a “devout” muslim apologist / islamophile.
The results would be the same…

And thanks to all the idiots who voted for Sleazy Senile Joe Biden… he’s baaaaack!

I completely agree, Dave.
Wellington says
Obama is a narcissist, quite ignorant of many subjects, most certainly history and I think of the law as well even though he’s a Harvard Law graduate (really, have you noticed how many fools the Ivy League puts out?), and may actually be the first President of the United States who thought the office was beneath him (I am not exaggerating).
Obama would be merely comical were he not so influential. My wife and I personally know many people who adore this man. Of course, we hesitate to tell any of these people what we really think of Obama because if you have a high opinion of Obama the chances are extremely good that you are a snowflake who can dish it out but can’t take it, never mind manifesting overall ignorance a la Obama.
Obama was the worst President in American history and I can respect no one who voted for him unless they have completely repented of this decision. After all, forgiveness is a boon to the human condition but it must be predicated upon full admittance of error.
Sabri S. says
Nope…sorry, the world and all intelligent, moral people hate “Israel” period. There is no need to make them or encourage them to do so. Wake up to the zionist lies and propaganda BS. Ancient Israel and judea was destroyed, and will never be resurrected again, especially with these polish and russian occupiers.
Wellington says
Au contraire, Sabri S.. If one hates Israel, that person’s moral compass is broken. Israel is the only beacon of light in a very dark corner of the world, thanks mostly to Islam but also to primitive tribalism elements and a false sense of honor (as opposed to a proper sense of what constitutes honor). And remember, Israeli-Arabs have far more freedoms than do the Arabs in the over twenty Arab countries that exist—address this specific point if you will.
You know, it’s just like you to get things ass-backwards. Here at JW you have displayed a remarkable consistency in this regard. Well, anyone promotive of Islam, as you are, already has a distorted concept of human life and thereafter a cascade of error will inevitably follow.
The Istanbulian says

Keith O says
Sabri S, Have you stopped taking your meds again?

Whichever way, you need a reality check.
I am by all accounts reasonably intelligent and apparently a very moral person and I can find nothing to hate in Israel or in the Jewish people as a whole.
Mudslimes like yourself on the other hand are a blight upon this earth and I do wonder what the Goddess was thinking when she allowed your kind to be created.

He likes coming to this site, and I enjoy hearing his candid honesty, but it’s curious that with the 50,000+ Jihad news pieces, and 24 books, and hundreds of thousands of comments, he still refuses to apostatize and disabuse his self of this evil creed.
gravenimage says
Daniel, the vicious Sabri S. actively embraces the savagery of Islam.
Daniel Triplett says
GI, yes, I know he is. I chose the wrong word by saying I “enjoy” hearing his candid honesty. A better word is I’m “curious” to hear the mind of a devout Muslim such as he: “To know thy enemy.”
However, I do “enjoy” watching you, Wellington, James, and other JWers tear Sabre S. to shreds every time he allows us to see inside his head.
gravenimage says
Thank you, Daniel. And Sabri S. is only honest because he is feeling so emboldened he doesn’t feel he has to lie.
Daniel Triplett says
That’s right GI. Sabri S. has apparently evolved from “Jihad Stage 1”, into at least Stage 2, where he has the confidence of strength that he no longer feels taqiyya is necessary.

Sabri is neither intelligent nor moral. He has many times supported Muslims *murdering their own young children*. He also applauds assaulting women in the street. A nasty piece of work.

Too late, murderer. Israel was resurrected many times as were its people and it will live on forever.
You and your toxic hatred, on the other hand, already occupy a grave as does your “morality”.

You are the paradigm of arab, intra family interbreeding, which, over a thousand generations, has produced a remarkable number of mental defectives.

Please find another site to infest, as, you bring nothing of value to this one.

Sabri S. excposes the barbarism of Islam–that makes him useful here in a way–just not the way he thinks.
Daniel Triplett says
GI, that’s the way I see it too. As disdainful as he is, Sabri S. is useful to this website, to examine the mind of a devout Muslim, straight from the Muslim himself. This also provides an opportunity to experiment with different lines of logic and reasoning to see which, if any, are effective in persuading Islamic apostasy. So far with Sabri S., he appears defiant to any approach and effort.

Agree, Daniel.

Kepha says
Wellington: A personal note on the Ivy League and me. My extended family has several Ivy League graduates, and my mother was very disappointed that I did not get into one of the Ivies. Many years later, when I went into the Foreign Service, some colleagues whom I trained with were from Yale. This news excited my mother until, a few years later, I reported that one was declared Persona non Grata in a host country due to a homosexual act with a minor boy.
Back in the Sillier ‘Seventies, I also took a class in Classical Chinese from a woman who came from Harvard. She actually apologized for teaching “such a reactionary course” (as if the students weren’t people who’d figured out that if they really wanted to know Chinese, they’d need the Classical language, Mao Zedong or no) , and reported in incredulous tones after visiting the Far East that the poor, oppressed Taiwanese and South Koreans were actually decent folks and reasonably well off. This prof was not the only book-smart and street-Thtoopid Ivy grad I’d met.
Re the O, I think he’s one of the most horribly overrated people ever to pass through Washington DC in any capacity.

somehistory says
Cannot imagine anything that would be a greater waste of time…something we can never get back, re-use, recycle…than reading something written by this piece of human slime, lying psychopath.
Three? What conceit. To believe that anyone would wish to read about his ‘life’…even if one could trust him to tell the truth, has to be an ego so large, it’s a wonder he has any room left for the rest of his ugly person.
No human government is without failures, without wrongs committed. But to condemn Israel so that **everyone** else will do the same, to lie so many times, to fabricate…the hatred in this creature equals his ego, and that is saying something.
No one…no one…should ever believe anything he has to say or write. How many times did he say, “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor”? How many times did he say, “If you like your insurance plan, you can keep your plan”?
And how many fake birth certificates did he show the citizens he pretended to “serve”? And the one time he told the truth…saying he didn’t have the authority to do what the idiots who “worshipped” him wanted, and then turned right around and did what they, and he, wanted.
I still recall the photos of him with his feet on the furniture…the furniture paid for by Americans and their hard work; Americans he hates. And the things he said about ordinary people, who stand head and shoulders above this maggot, to show his contempt.
If readers think that I can’t stand him, the thinking is correct. He makes me sick.
“feet in a hurry to run to badness, a lying tongue, giving false witness,” just three of the “six things Jehovah hates,” and they all apply to this creep. And since he is in favor of murdering babies, a fourth one, “hands shedding innocent blood,” also fits him.
Totally despicable.

Walter Sieruk says
President Trump wisely said “It’s time to officially recognize [the reality of] Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.” Yes, indeed, it’s very much time to recognize Jerusalem as the capital city of the State of Israel, and he then acted on his word and he had done so by good decision of moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem .This bold and wise decision of President Trump to move the US embassy to Jerusalem has greatly offended many of the Muslim clerics . Be they, for example, the imams of Pakistan or the mullahs of Iran. Those Muslim clerics with their mind control and their unconscionable ways they manipulate the people from the mosques to be their stooges into a, violent uprising, because of the President’s decision is despicable . Some people of the left will say that the decision of move the US embassy to Jerusalem is “provoking” and it will “incite violence.” This only shows the old saying to be true .Which is that “Evil is always looking for an excuse. “ The fact is President Trump made the right decision and if the Muslim clerics don’t happen to like it ,well then it’s “tough beans.” to them .
As the Bible informs its readers “The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem … the Lord will be the hope of His people ,and the strength of the children of Israel.” Joel 3:16.
Walter Sieruk says
President Trump made the right and wise decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and move the US embassy to that important city . For not to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel would be appeasement to the powers of Islam. Appeasement will only be viewed by Muslim as weakness. Therefore, with appeasement, the Muslim arrogance and contempt for America would only grow.
Furthermore, all this Muslim/jihadist rioting and other forms of Islamic violence and terrorism which violent jihad entities, as Hamas, claim is the result of the US embassy move to Jerusalem. This Muslim/Hamas violence is a somewhat of a reminder on the 1979 move TIME AFTER TIME in which the hero of that movie said “The first man to raise his fist is the man who has run out of ideas.” Therefor it may only be concluded that all the rioting Hamas/ Muslims with all their violent mayhem must be men who have “run out of ideas.”
Walter Sieruk says
All those Muslims who are so angered because President Trump recognized Jerusalem as the Capital city of the Jewish State of Israel are nonsensical. For the facts are Jerusalem was the capital of ancient Israel and likewise Jerusalem is the capital city of modern Israel. Those Muslims who are so very angry over this US embassy move to Jerusalem are a reminder that Benjamin Franklin had printed in POOR RICHARD’S ALMANACK “There are many reasons to become angry but very few good ones.”
Walter Sieruk says
Many of the Muslim /Arabs who call themselves “Palestinians” are very mad that President Trump has recognized Jerusalem as the capital city of the State of Israel. Many of those same “Palestinians” were very happy when they found out about the mass jihad murders in America on September 11, 2001. So who cares if they are mad or not about the US embassy move to Jerusalem ?

Obama’s Latest Autobiography Rewrites Israeli History to Make You Hate the Jewish State
……………….
What a nasty thug.
L Mayor says
What I find as disturbing as Hussein`s hatred of Israel is the overwhelming support that he got (and, appears to still get) from American Jews. As a 4th generation American Jew, it seems to me that leftism is the true religion of the great majority of my fellow American Jews, with the democrat party as their temple.
I say to them: wake up, people, as, the democrats have become the party of hate, hatred of the constitutional republic that is the USA, and, of the biblical land of Israel, which was given by God to the Jewish people, no one else.
Keys says
L Mayor –
There are many, many things I can not figure out; overwhelming Jewish support for Obama and the Democrat Party is one of those. It’s baffling.
I am heartened to see an “American Jew” recognizes that, and might have insight into the reasons.
L Mayor says
I believe that so many American Jews, as well as most, if not all, of the people who identify with (and, vote for) democrats do so because they`ve been conned (or, brainwashed) into believing that the democrat party holds the moral/ethical high ground, so, that by voting democrat, they, too, are virtuous/ethical people. I say, balderdash!!!
Keys says
Thank you for your reply, L Mayor.
And I second “balderdash” !!!
Colin Broughton says
Obama is a Covert Muslim. The most beautiful sound in the works wasn’t church bells. It was the sound of the muezzin calling the faithful to morning prayer.
In his address to Al Azhar Univerdity in Cairo, Obama asserted that Islam has the Golden Rule. Islam does not have the Golden Rule in the form adumbrated by Jesus:’’ Do to others as you would have them do to you.’’
That injunction applies to all, friend or foe, male or female and is unlimited in scope in imitation of the Divine. .There is no sense of reciprocation. The rule is central to the ethical teachings of Christ.
The rule in Islam does not appear as such in Islam, only in the Hadith, which shows its relative unimportance. It is clear in the context of Islam’s other teachings that the rule excludes non-Muslims and women . And there is a clear sense of reciprocation.
katherine says
There`s nothing very covert about Obama`s Islamist leanings nor his publicized statements. Madrassa graduates like him have only one thing in mind – Jihad by any means foul or otherwise.
In his case it was Stealth Jihad by administrative insurrection.

I’m beginning to understand why, since there was no such place as New Zealand in 1800, the British felt entitled to steal it from its many occupants.
To follow Spencer’s argument,
There never was a New Zealand state. No New Zealand king, or emperor, or president.
The same would be true for, say, North America, South America, Australia. Looks like a white man’s argument to me. But hugely convenient.
Giacomo Latta says
This is New Zealand Watch now? The things you can learn from a halfwit who thinks aiding and abetting a petty crime such as placing explosives meant to kill innocent civilians is not something that jiggles his moral compass.

From your comments, it appears that you`ve failed in your search to attain a functioning brain, but, don`t fall into total despair, as, were you to read anything by Robert Spencer, along with some of the knowledgable commenters on this site, your minimal brain function could only improve.
Walter Sieruk says
Obama by his own words is exposing either his own extreme ignorance or his pro-Islamic bias and deliberate deception for the cause of Islam and likewise racist hate for Jewish State of Israel.
Furthermore Islamic agenda of the many Islamic terror organizations as Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic jihad, etc. of des,the troying the State of Israel and replacing it with an Islamic “state” is already as lost cause. This is because those Islamic groups with that goal are all fated to lose in the end. For that agenda of those Jihad terror entities are greatly overruled by the God of the Bible. For the Jewish people have every right to all of that land, including the West Bank, by Divine Right. As seen, for example, in Genesis 28:13-15. 35:48, 49. Psalms 105:7-11. 135:4. Furthermore, the Jewish people should also have that land by historic rights. As found in First Kings 4:20,21,24,25. 8:55,56.
In conclusion, the jihadists members of Hezbollah, Hamas and other like-minded Islamic organizations have joined a lost cause and a bad cause. As Obama taken a stand for a bad cause.
It may even rightfully be said that Obama and such Islamic entities, as mentioned above have taken up a stand for a bad cause. This is a bad cause to the extreme. The Bible instructs in much wisdom, as in “Do not stand up for a bad cause.” Ecclesiastes 8:3. [N.I.V.]
Rod says
Don’t pay too much attention to your bible, Walter. It could get you into serious trouble.
“Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately. But all the girls who have not known man intimately, spare for yourselves”. Numbers 31:17-18
I suspect that Obama knows that a lot of biblical instructions are better ignored. The question is, which ones should you take seriously? Some of us have learned to think for ourselves. Obama probably does too.

One thing that always impressed me about the O is that the ONLY secret America can keep is the academic record of the supposedly “most intelligent POTUS ever”–as some of my Democrat friends called him. This tells you that the Deep State-Academic-Legal-Media Complex looks after its own, while the Deep State part is full of some of the most disloyal, treacherous scum on the planet. If it truly wins against Trump, Uncle Kepha will go into passive resistance mode.–and Uncle Kepha was a never-Trumper who bit his tongue in 2016.
Further, in good Puritan fashion, if some lesser level of government goes into full-fledged revolt against Obama II–oops, Biden, whom Dr. Di Dongsheng of Renmin university sees as an “old friend” of Beijing and a boastworthy example of Beijing’s infiltration of our government–Uncle Kepha is prepared to lay down his old life in such a revolt. I am disgusted by the acts of the O administration as it went after the Trump campaign, what appears to be egregious fraud in just a few strategic swing states, and the political games the Democrats have been playing with c19. Worst of all, the unwillingness of big tech and our media to say anything bad about the Chinese Communist regime is an outrage.

He has been reading excerpts from his autobiography on BBC4 here in the UK. I could not bear to listen This self-opinionated, puffed-up ignorant politician let Iran free to develop an atom bomb to destroy Israel and has financed and encouraged Islamic terrorism through out the Middle East. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize almost before he was in office.
Trump, universally hated by Lefties, has calmed the situation in North Korea, has impeded Iran’s nuclear and terrorist program by revoking the treaty, has forged links between some of the Arab states and Israel, the only liberal democracy in the Middle East, has stood up to China, a vicious, dangerous and unscrupulous state with ambitions for world domination, and has resisted the nonsense that that is Climate Catastrophe, which is carefully designed to ruin Western democracies’ finances whilst allowing China and India to pollute as much as they like. And then there’s Covid-which there is a good chance was deliberately spread. For this Trump is demonized. Go figure (as you say over there). Let’s hope Biden can’t overturn Trump’s successes.
somehistory says
Someone should ask the fool, “Did you not know that an “autobiography” is to be about the person writing it, not fictional accounts of things concocted by the one writing it?”
An autobiography is written to chronical the life of a person about whom others might wish to know more. It is not meant to fabricate things to make them seem to have been the way the author wishes they were.
Useless to ask him however, as he believes himself to be the all-knowing, all-seeing, grandest creature to ever play basketball, play golf, or eat a hamburger. Among other things.
