Obama’s lifelong mentors on Israel and the Middle East
We’ve forgotten all of this. It’s been so long. Memories are short. But since Obama is reviewing his Israel policy, let’s review Obama’s ideological roots…in particular where they stem from.
May 1998, roughly 10 years before Obama would be thrust onto the scene. An Arab Community event in Chicago. At events such as these, one does not sit with people he doesn’t know. One sits with close friends.
To his left, a Palestinian-Arab man by the name of Edward Said, who had been on the faculty of Columbia University since 1961. To his right (sitting next to Michelle), a Palestinian-Arab man by the name of Rashid Khalidi, also a professor at Columbia, specifically Modern Arab Studies and is also the director of Middle East Institute of Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs.

At Columbia, these men would come to shape the mind of a young Barry Obama and continue to influence his thinking on Israel for decades thereafter.
Fast forward to July 2000. Edward Said throws stones in the direction of Israeli soldiers.

His explanation:
“There were many people [at the border] all of them…elated by the absence of Israeli troops,” Said wrote. “For a moment, I joined in: the spirit of the place infected everyone with the same impulse, to make a symbolic gesture of joy that the occupation had ended.”
Fast forward to 2003. Arab Americans in Chicago were bidding farewell to Rashid Khalidi, who was leaving to go back to a job at Columbia.
At Khalidi’s farewell party, a young Palestinian American recited a poem accusing the Israeli government of terrorism in its treatment of Palestinians and sharply criticizing U.S. support of Israel. “If Palestinians cannot secure their own land”, she said, “then you will never see a day of peace.”
One speaker likened “Zionist settlers in the West Bank” to Osama bin Laden, saying both had been “blinded by ideology.”
In the words of sports news broadcaster Warner Wolf, let’s go to the videotape:

Edward Said talking about the “supposed” Jewish claims to the Land of Israel
Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories and 'god-given land' claims - 2003

The question is: why have we forgotten all of this?
Simple answer: time. Time—especially in this day and age where a 30 second soundbite doesn’t even last 30 seconds—usually makes us forget. The deeper answer: The mainstream media. They are good at burying what they need to bury. And this they needed to bury.
There was a videotape of that famed 2003 Obama-Khalidi dinner in Chicago that was obtained by the LA Times roughly a week before the 2008 election. A tape that would have likely sent some (not all) Jewish voters running for the hills. A tape that would never see the light of day.

US Declassifies Document Revealing Israel's Nuclear Program
Obama revenge for Netanyahu's Congress talk? 1987 report on Israel's top secret nuclear program released in unprecedented move.

In a development that has largely been missed by mainstream media, the Pentagon early last month quietly declassified a Department of Defense top-secret document detailing Israel's nuclear program, a highly covert topic that Israel has never formally announced to avoid a regional nuclear arms race, and which the US until now has respected by remaining silent.
But by publishing the declassified document from 1987, the US reportedly breached the silent agreement to keep quiet on Israel's nuclear powers for the first time ever, detailing the nuclear program in great depth.
The timing of the revelation is highly suspect, given that it came as tensions spiraled out of control between Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and US President Barack Obama ahead of Netanyahu's March 3 address in Congress, in which he warned against the dangers of Iran's nuclear program and how the deal being formed on that program leaves the Islamic regime with nuclear breakout capabilities.
Another highly suspicious aspect of the document is that while the Pentagon saw fit to declassify sections on Israel's sensitive nuclear program, it kept sections on Italy, France, West Germany and other NATO countries classified, with those sections blocked out in the document.
The 386-page report entitled "Critical Technological Assessment in Israel and NATO Nations" gives a detailed description of how Israel advanced its military technology and developed its nuclear infrastructure and research in the 1970s and 1980s.
Israel is "developing the kind of codes which will enable them to make hydrogen bombs. That is, codes which detail fission and fusion processes on a microscopic and macroscopic level," reveals the report, stating that in the 1980s Israelis were reaching the ability to create bombs considered a thousand times more powerful than atom bombs.
The revelation marks a first in which the US published in a document a description of how Israel attained hydrogen bombs.
The report also notes research laboratories in Israel "are equivalent to our Los Alamos, Lawrence Livermore and Oak Ridge National Laboratories," the key labs in developing America's nuclear arsenal.
Israel's nuclear infrastructure is "an almost exact parallel of the capability currently existing at our National Laboratories," it adds.
"As far as nuclear technology is concerned the Israelis are roughly where the U.S. was in the fission weapon field in about 1955 to 1960," the report reveals, noting a time frame just after America tested its first hydrogen bomb.
Institute for Defense Analysis, a federally funded agency operating under the Pentagon, penned the report back in 1987.
Aside from nuclear capabilities, the report revealed Israel at the time had "a totally integrated effort in systems development throughout the nation," with electronic combat all in one "integrated system, not separated systems for the Army, Navy and Air Force." It even acknowledged that in some cases, Israeli military technology "is more advanced than in the U.S."
Declassifying the report comes at a sensitive timing as noted above, and given that the process to have it published was started three years ago, that timing is seen as having been the choice of the American government.
US journalist Grant Smith petitioned to have the report published based on the Freedom of Information Act. Initially the Pentagon took its time answering, leading Smith to sue, and a District Court judge to order the Pentagon to respond to the request.
Smith, who heads the Institute for Research: Middle East Policy, reportedly said he thinks this is the first time the US government has officially confirmed that Israel is a nuclear power, a status that Israel has long been widely known to have despite being undeclared.
