LA Times witholds video: Obama praising PLO Rep

                                          October 29, 2008, LA Times

                                     (See the LA Times article here.)  

                    The LA Times has a video it will not release. The video is from a dinner in April 2008 that Obama attended on behalf of Palestine. The transcript shows Obama supporting Palestine with anti-Israel comments. The attendees include Rashid Khaldi. Rashid Khaldi lives in the same neighbor as Obama, Rashid Khaldi is a professor from Columbia University. Professor Rashid Khalidi blames the Israels for the Sep’t 11, 2001, attack on the United States.  Oh, and Khalidi has been a PLO member.  

                    Mr Rashid Khalidi is Professor of “Arab Studies and Director of the Middle East Institute” at Columbia University.

 Then there is the infamous visit of the Iranian President coming to Columbia University, on September 24, 2007, to talk about…

                     (See the release from Columbia University)     

• the Iranian president’s denial of the Holocaust;
• his public call for the destruction of the State of Israel;
• his reported support for international terrorism that targets innocent civilians and American troops;
• Iran’s pursuit of nuclear ambitions in opposition to international sanction;
• his government’s widely documented suppression of civil society and particularly of women’s rights; and
• his government’s imprisoning of journalists and scholars, including one of Columbia’s own alumni, Dr. Kian Tajbakhsh (see President Bollinger’s statement on Dr. Kian Tajbakhsh’s release).
