The motive: Hamas figured out that an endorsement from them (just like the Obama endorsement from Fidel Castro) would hurt Obama’s chances to win. Since an Obama win is exactly what Hamas wants (as that will mean a weaker America), Hamas is “unendorsing” Obama (at least in public) in order to help him win.

Seems likely.

I mean the passage quoted starts out with talking about how the endorsement was used against Obama. If Hamas genuinely wants Obama to win, it would easily understand the need to unequivocally unendorse him.

It’s also possible that they just now believe his commitment to Israel, but that would seem off.

O come on, theyknow full well that their endorsement hurts his chances and their “unendorsement” is a ploy to undo the damage done… THEY GOT BARRY FEVAH!

Hamas threw themselves under a bombed-out bus?

People all over the world, join hands Start a love train, love train People all over the world, join hands Join a love train, love train All of your brothers over in Africa Tell all the folks in Egypt and Israel too Please don’t miss this train at the…

Hamas unendorses Obama

Phew, glad they unrung that bell.

Now they hate him as well as disrespect him (for not being Muslim).

Gee, they forgot all about RP!

And not a word about Huckabee either. Curious.

That’s one mighty thorough unendorsement, which is curious…
Bingo. As for liberal Jewish American voters, who knows? Obama clearly is a lying POS regarding the Pali terrorists. Not sure what motivates him there – I don’t believe he’s an anti-semitic dhimmi, just that he’s a dhimmi – but then, what motivates Jewish libs to vote against the conservative supporters of Israel so consistently.

Clearly, their domestic leftism outweighs their concern about defense of Israel.

Only too true…and a small segment of Orthodox Jewry is right there with them, at least in their despising conservatives. This, despite the on-record and public conservative support of Israel, and open Left-wing adulation of Phakestinians and their “cause”.

That’s one mighty thorough unendorsement, which is curious…

Conservative Jews saw through it. Liberal Jews don’t care all that much.

Obama is no friend to Israel. I truly hope that Jewish-Americans saw thru his rhetoric.

McCain can be trusted … Obama can’t.

“Shortly after the newly minted Democratic presidential nominee delivered a strong-and well received-speech to the American Israel Political Action Committee’s policy conference on Wednesday, political analysts in the Jewish state remained skeptical about Obama. “People have a major problem with him here in Israel,” says Yaron Deckel, a political analyst for Channel One TV. “”When I ask Israelis who would be their choice for U.S. president, Obama always comes last, after John McCain and Hillary Clinton. “

Oh yeah… I wonder how much he paid Hamas for the “un-endorsement”

Might be more truth to that than you think. Follow the link, and find interesting Terrorist Funding ties to Chicago.

Well done, AZCoyote.

I guess we’ll just have to wonder what the motive could be.

Hamas lies to the world.

Nothing to see here.

“…their policies …are the same and are hostile to us, therefore we do have no preference and are not wishing for either of them to win,”

I know how he feels..

Hamas does not differentiate between the two presidential candidates, Obama and Mccain, because their policies regarding the Arab-Israel conflict are the same

Using Hamas to put Obama on the same level as McCain?
