Frist, Obama made comments about Jerusalem being the capital of Israel to a Jewish group then shortly afterwards when talking to a muslim delegation bascially told them not to worry about that.
Obama has a very long and close relationship with Rasheed Khalidi an American who is ethinically palistinian and is a professor at Columbia University.
He has written a number of books on Palistine and among his comments are things like calling Palisinitan suicide bombers patriots.
Obama has publically thanked him for helping him understand the palistininan issue.
Third, the American Social Justice movement which Barak Obama has long been a part, has taken up the Palistinian cause against Israel.
given those facts (and those are actual real facts) It seems to me that Jesse Jackson is speaking with some authority here.

One man's terrorist is another man's patriot. If the Boston Tea Party took place today, Britain would take a stand against acts of colonial terrorism.
