Obama, the "Denier" of Israeli Crimes: I listened to President Obama's speech on AIPAC Sunday, March 4, 2012, while sitting outside the Washington Convention Center where AIPAC was holding its annual conference. We, at OCCUPY AIPAC hooked up a PA system to a computer and listened to the live stream while watching tens of thousands of Israeli supporters arrive for their yearly intimidation of the US Congress and the US President to fund and protect Israel. Much of the focus for others writing about the President's pandering speech to AIPAC will be about the Iran nuclear program and, if weaponized, the threat to Israel and US security, in that order. I will leave the Iran nuclear program to them while I write about a part of his speech that pertains to a part of the world that I know personally, but one last comment about Iran, Obama said the Iranian government denies the "Holocaust." I would say that the Iranian government is not the only "denier." President Obama and his advisers are the "deniers" of incredible Israeli violence and horrific violations of international law. In his speech, Obama said, "When the Goldstone report unfairly singled out Israel for criticism after Israel attacked Gaza, we challenged it." Having been in Gaza within days after the 22-day Israeli attack on Gaza that killed 1,440, wounded 5,000 and left 50,000 homeless (13 Israelis were killed, five of them by Israeli fire), I know the Goldstone Report is accurate in its recording of endless Israeli attacks on Gaza by air, land and sea. President Obama must know that the Goldstone report comments on the actions of all parties, not just the Israelis.
