President Obama today appointed Samantha Powers to the newly formed Atrocities Prevention Board. The Board’s goal is to address the problem of genocide around the world. Powers selection is alarming, considering her repeated stances on Israel, and her belief that invasion of the nation is necessary to bring about peace with the Palestinians:
If you don’t remember Ms Power she once called for a US force to invade Israel and force through a “peace settlement.” Powers also had some unflattering things to say about about America’s Jewish population during the 2008 campaign
How long do you think it will be before Powers uses that board as tool to de-legitimize Israel?
The announcement of the position came as President Obama was speaking at the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC. As Lid points out; flowery language, but the actions speak louder:
Today President Obama spoke at the US Holocaust Museum, his words were pretty but it is his actions that tell the tale.
In her own words Samantha Powers has attacked Israel when it had done no wrong, and blamed the Jews for Obama’s campaign troubles. The appointment of Samantha Power to head up the new Atrocities Prevention Board, which under her tutelage is sure to become a forum for false attacks against Israel, is just one more example of Obama’s actions not matching his words.
