Rahm Emanuel Warned Not To Make Son’s Bar Mitzvah In Israel
The Yeshiva World News ^ | January 24, 2009 | Yechiel Spira

Posted on 01/24/2010 7:35:54 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

Chevron activists Baruch Marzel and Itamar Ben-Givir, who also serve as parliamentary aides to MK (Ichud HaLeumi) Dr. Michael Ben-Ari, have sent a letter to White House Chief of Staff Rom Emanuel suggesting he celebrate his son’s bar mitzvah elsewhere, not at the Kosel as reports indicate he plans to do.

They point out that “to our sorrow” during the last year, President Barak Obama’s tenure in the White House, “You have worked against the State of Israel and the Jewish People”. They remind Emanuel of his recent comment to Israel’s consul general to Los Angeles, in which he is quoted as saying “I have had it with the Israelis”.

“You are not the first Jew in history trying to advance himself at the expense of his people. There were traitors before you such as Josephus Flavius and others, who in all likelihood also celebrated their bar mitzvah but we remember them as traitors, seeking riches and honor, at the expense of their people.

“Unlike the Government of Israel, we will not bow and participate with all those seeking to hurt the Jewish People”, promising if Emanuel comes to Yerushalayim to mark his son’s bar mitzvah, he will be met and escorted by protests “as is fitting and not with candies and flowers”.

At least he’s consistent. He has the same contempt for the United States.

Good.

I am not Jewish but I am sure this is a big deal.

I get the impression that Rahm really doesn't give a rats a$$ though.

Actions have consequences Rahm.
Kinda rude to send him a letter first though

There were traitors before you such as Josephus Flavius

Now that is holding a grudge.

Good for them! Is there sleazier acting/looking guy than Emanuel? I wouldn't trust him to park my car.

(to the tune of Copacabana)

His name was Rahm-Bo

He was a schlemiel

Said "hope and change" was in the air

For Israelis he didn't care

His kid was going on 13

He wanted to turn and preen ...

At the Kosel, Kosel bar-mitzvah ...

My wife is Jewish. Her dad is very conservative. This would be a big deal to them. However,they have many liberal relatives and friends, who are very worldly and want to “go along to get along” and don’t see anything wrong with compromising away their freedoms for security.

I’m confused. I didn’t even know he had any family. I thought he lived in someone’s spare room in D.C. Is he divorced? And do the people who wrote this letter have any power? Who are they?

What? He has one brother who is Dr. Death and another who is the real life Ari Gold, sleaziest, most powerful agent in Hollywood.

The terrifying thing is that the Rahm Emmanuel creature has spawned itself.

Very nice!!

Maybe you can work in some other cultures since he’s one of those “diversity” cranks, too.

In Chinese culture, the eyes say much about the person. My mom said Rahm’s eyes remind her of a fish and is therefore ‘fishy’; boy, she doesn’t know how right she is!

None of my relatives ever planned a birthday party for anyone in Scotland, England, Germany, or Canada.

Can you say "dual loyalites"?!?

I'm sure Rahm will respond with his usual maturity and decorum.

It’s not a national loyalty “thing”. The Bar Mitzvah is a religious “thing”. I know many proud Americans who had their kids Bar or Bat Mitzvahed in Israel. It’s loyalty to one’s faith, not one’s nation. Do US Catholics visit the Vatican? Same thing.

The stinging truth. I wonder if it bothers the traitor to have his treachery pointed out in this way?
