Barack Obama, June 4, 2008 (via Mangan’s):
Now let me be clear. Israel’s security is sacrosanct. It is non-negotiable.
. . .
Any agreement with the Palestinian people must preserve Israel’s identity as a jewish state, with secure, recognized, defensible borders.
Barack Obama, January 6, 2012:
Illegal immigrants closely related to U.S. citizens would no longer have to leave the country to try to obtain legal status under a proposed change in immigration policy announced Friday by President Barack Obama’s administration.
The change, which would greatly reduce the amount of time U.S. citizens are separated from undocumented family members seeking legal status, is the latest attempt by the Obama administration to use its authority to implement some immigration reforms without congressional approval.
It makes one wonder. Are the American elite ignorant of their hypocrisy and double standards, or is it that they just don’t give a shit?
PS I have no quarrel with the premise of the quote in the top half of this post.
