An earlier case of Obama CYA? Seems he didn't think it was prudent to be anti-Israel in a nation wide election.

Being Pro-Palestinian does not necessarily mean being anti-Israel.

Again, opposing the Israeli occupation doesn't make one anti-Israeli. I think he might me referring to Obama's going to AIPAC (god knows why).

The mainstream are all perfectly comfortable with the war crimes that Israel is committing, no matter how much they talk about human rights elsewhere.

Sadly, this is true. The fact that Obama was once sensitive to the human rights of Palestinians is seen as "devastating" by GatewayPundit is testament to this.
