Tom Brokaw's stupid Israel question and Obama's dumb answer.

Every so often, media types slip up and let their true view on a situation show, this was Brokaw's moment.

BROKAW: What can the Israelis learn from your visit to Buchenwald and what should they be thinking about their treatment of Palestinians?

Stunningly stupid question to compare a concentration camp to the Palestinians but is something that gets applause in liberal circles. Obama first starts off saying no equivalency but then rolls on with an almost equally insulting answer. Via Rush's site which had the transcript.

OBAMA: Well, look there's no equivalency here, but I do think that, given the extraordinary moral traditions of Judaism, the potential power of empathy that arises out of having gone through such historic hardships, that that will ultimately give the people of Israel the strength and purpose to seek a just and lasting peace. And that, I believe, will involve creating two states side by side with peace and security.

As Rush points out this is ridiculous as Israel is always the one taking the brunt of the world's blame and Obama has thrown them under the bus repeatedly since getting into office.

If Israel didn't already have empathy or the strength and purpose to seek peace, they would have gone the way of Putin in Chechnya, Sri Lanka against the Tamil Tigers or King Hussein of Jordan driving out the Palestianians out of his country years ago.

Their extraordinary patience in light of suicide bombers and other terrorist acts should be admired.
