Is Obama an Anti-Semite ?

My friend C., an Obama-supporter, is upset by my postings:

Dear Werner,
Degrees of separation are not the same as ties. Barack Obama has a positive record on Israel. It saddens me that a friend of Israel and the Jewish people is being portrayed as quite the opposite.
Chag Pesach sameach,
C.

and here is my answer:

Dear C.,
It is true that Obama has always disassociated himself with those statements and actions of his pastor that attacked Israel and the Jewish people; it is also true that Obama has made very positive statements about Israel and, in particular, Israel's defense needs. I appreciate all that. I am confident that, privately, Obama is much more of a friend than an enemy. But publicly and politically, Obama is a compromiser in the bad sense of that word. The anti-Jewish ("anti-Zionist") stance of his (former) pastor is, unfortunately, not a personal matter with the Rev. Wright, but is, rather, a permanent and deeply embedded aspect of TUCC, Trinity United Church of Christ. The award that TUCC gave to Minister Farrakhan was a TUCC function, not Rev. Wright's personal action. The endorsement of Hamas was in the Church official newspaper (with Wright's personal approval, to be sure). Most of all, the rest of the clergy at TUCC -- all the assistant ministers, and especially the new pastor, the Rev. Otis Moss III -- have unanimously and enthusiastically and without reservation endorsed the whole of the Rev. Wright's ministry. So when Obama insists, in the light of all that, to remain part of that church, he remains part of what is essentially an anti-Semitic organization. That does not make him personally an anti-Semite, of course. He is, after all, our kind of guy, by background, instinct, liberal program, etc. But he is at the same time, and wants to be, their kind of guy -- the Black anti-Semites' kind of guy. He does not want to cut that tie, for reasons best known to himself. I guess you can't be a successful politician without compromising a lot. But, for me, Obama goes too far in this willingness to compromise -- much too far.
Best regards, and a good pesach
