Video:
While I disagree with Obsession and with Aish HaTorah's sleazy attempts to insert itself into politics, this amateur video by an Obsession supporter seems credible.
It is also another reminder that Radical Islam continues to grow almost unchecked. And one of those places of growth is the US.
My only caveat is to note that the brief pregnant scene focusing on one (out of almost 300) pro-Hamas demonstrators wearing an Obama cap illustrates the problem Obsession and its backers have with context and truth.
One could easily have found Obama supporters at the pro-Israel rally across the street, and the vast majority of American Jews voted Obama. There could have been an Obama bumper sticker on one of the pro-Israel demonstrators cars. An Obama T shirt or cap may have been worn by one, as well.
But we do not know, because the camera only tells one story, and only reports one side.
And one side never tells the whole story.
UPDATE 1-7-09 4:445 pm – It turns out DK and Marty Peretz each did pieces on this before me. Give them each a quick read if you have time.
Peretz notes these are primarily immigrants to America, and questions whether we want immigrants like these living here.
Kelsey does the same, except stronger.
