Barack Obama described Israel as "undivided" when speaking to a Jewish group but recanted the next day. Now I learn that an Obama advisor, Daniel Kurtzer has said that Obama didn’t realize what he was saying to AIPAC when he used the term "undivided" in reference to Jerusalem. According to Kurtzer, Obama had "a picture in his mind of Jerusalem before 1967 with barbed wires and minefields and demilitarized zones." Kurtzer says that only after the speech did Obama realize it was a "code word" to use the phrase, "but it does not indicate any kind of naivete about foreign affairs."
He had no idea how Jerusalem is perceived by the Israel and the Muslim countries that surround her? Does he have foreign policy advisers or does he just want Tony Blair style to please everyone all the time until elected?
Any coverage of this story on the Barack Broadcasting Corporation (the BBC) yet?
