As US presidential hopeful Barack Obama wraps up a tour of Israel and Palestine , newspaper headlines all over the world are fixated on the Senator's attention to Israel…and lack of attention to Palestine's struggle.
One headline in particular, from Israel's Haaretz, could aptly sum up the feelings of the Palestinian blogosphere: “Obama visit all about wooing Jewish American voters.” Indeed, the words of the Palestinian blogosphere echo this notion, with particular focus on Obama's choice of Sderot as a destination.
bruised earth felt that Obama took advantage of the situation by visiting Sderot, not giving thought to how his actions would affect greater Palestinian opinion. The blogger remarked:
I know he is looking for some votes - but the nerve to visit Sderot (with just a flying visit of Ramallah - where no such statements were made) and again speak out against the daily misery of border settlers who have chosen (!) ...
