“We tell him to be proud of himself as a black and feel that all Africa is behind him”
http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3041’s leader has strongly criticised US presidential candidate Barack Obama for saying Jerusalem should remain the undivided capital of Israel.
Col http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=2635 to boost his campaign.
Mr Obama was http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=4859 to pro-Israel lobbyists in the US last week.
Referring to him as “our Kenyan brother”, Col Gaddafi also said Mr Obama might suffer from an inferiority complex because of his African origins.
The issue of race could make Mr Obama’s behaviour “more white than white people”, Col Gaddafi suggested, rather than acting in solidarity with http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3248 nations….Israel claims Jerusalem as its “eternal, undivided” capital, but the Palestinians want the eastern half – occupied by Israel in 1967 – as the capital of a future Palestinian state.
…Col Gaddafi’s defiant and famously politically incorrect rhetoric returned when talking about Mr Obama towards the end of the speech.
“The statements of our Kenyan brother of American nationality Obama on Jerusalem… show that he either ignores international politics and did not study the Middle East conflict or that it is a campaign lie,” he said.
“We fear that Obama will feel that, because he is black with an inferiority complex, this will make him behave worse than the whites.”
“This will be a tragedy,” Gaddafi said. “We tell him to be proud of himself as a black and feel that all Africa is behind him.”
…In addition, Mr Gaddafi suggested Mr Obama’s comments may have been informed by a fear of http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3383 by Israeli agents, “the same fate as [former US President John F Kennedy when he promised to look into Israel’s nuclear programme”.
