Despite rightwing media attempts to portray Barack Obama as a covert Muslim during the U.S. Presidential election campaign, his appointment of pro-Israel hard-liner Rahm Emanuel as White House Chief of Staff indicates that there will be no change in American policy toward Israel/Palestine. ... read full story / add a comment
