Why Jeremiah Wright Mattered

Most Israelis believe that Obama is acting, not as a broker, but as an agent for the Palestinians. Benny Morris writes in a UK Telegraph op-ed entitled, "America and Israel: The End of a Special Relationship?"
 The Obama administration has begun using the term "Palestinian East Jerusalem" and its demand that Israel freeze all new construction in the city concedes for the first time to the Palestinian demand that parts of Jerusalem now part of Israel will become part of the new 'state of Palestine'.
We should have paid more attention to Jeremiah Wright.

“We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America’s chickens are coming home to roost.” (Jeremiah Wright sermon, September 16, 2001)

"The Israelis have illegally occupied Palestinian territories for over 40 years now. Divestment has now hit the table again as a strategy to wake the business community and wake up Americans concerning the injustice and the racism under which the Palestinians have lived because of Zionism.”
Is there any doubt how Obama feels about Israel?
