Hypocrite At Holocaust Museum, Obama challenged over Israel policy

At Holocaust Museum, Obama challenged over Israel policy - Washington Times

“It’s a bitter truth,” Mr. Obama said after touring the museum with Holocaust survivor and authorElie Wiesel. “Too often the world has failed to prevent the killing of innocents on a massive scale, and we are haunted by the atrocities that we did not stop and the lives we did not save.”
In introducing the president to a crowd at the museum, Mr. Wieselchallenged Mr. Obama over the administration’s handling of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He wondered aloud why world leaders have not “learned anything” from the Holocaust.
“How is it that Assad is still in power?” said Mr. Wiesel. “How is it that the Holocaust’s No. 1 denier, Ahmadinejad, is still a president? He who threatens to use nuclear weapons — to use nuclear weapons — to destroy the Jewish state. We must know that when evil has power, it is almost too late.”
