Disgraceful White House Hanukkah celebration
American Thinker ^ | 12/11/15 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 12/11/2015 4:42:08 AM PST by markomalley

Leave to Barack Obama to turn what should be a celebration of the Jewish people’s survival in the face of adversity into a politicized rant celebrating the cause of the Palestinians, who want to “drive them into the sea,” as has been promised since the birth of the modern State of Israel.

Daniel Greenfield reports on what should have been the highlight of this year’s White House ceremony at Front Page Magazine:

…the White House chose Susan Talve to light the Menorah. Talve is a member of the anti-Israel group T'ruah which is currently promoting assorted "soft BDS" programs. She's also a Ferguson activist. Her behavior was deeply insulting to the religious Jewish community and made it clear that the White House was determined to hijack even a Chanukah party to promote an anti-Jewish agenda.

So the general conviviality of the Chanukah party was disrupted by a crazed rant from Susan Talve in which she seemed determined to jam as many leftist talking points as possible in her limited time. Instead of talking about Chanukah, Talve blathered on about getting, "guns off our streets" and to "clean up the fires of toxic nuclear waste".

Talve screeched, "I stand here with my fierce family of clergy and black lives matter activists who took to the streets of Ferguson". 

Having celebrated the race riots which destroyed a community, she pivoted to Syrian Muslim migrants. Chanukah is a celebration of the Maccabees defeating a Syrian occupation, but Talve may not even know that. Radical clergy tend to be light on the religion and heavy on the social justice.

Im shocked Obama didn’t do a Nazi salute while lighting the Menorah. He is a disgrace to the human race and so is that thing he had light the Menorah. What next, have someone from Hamas light it?

This self hater is the complete package. OY! Such a catch, the kind of nice Jewish girl you would bring home to mother. /s

Jews need to stop acknowledging Reformers as Jews at all.

“Rabbi”? Talve is no more a Rabbi than Jesse Jackson is a real man of the cloth.

The Talve kind of Rabbi has more to do with Feminism/Gender equality/LGBT/Save the snails/Eco terrorism/ justice for all Gaza murderers than it has to do with Judaism.

It is NOT Judaism. It may be a myriad of other agenda driven BS positions but it ain't no Jew!

It was appropriate for President Ovomit to welcome this POS into the White House for he himself (and his Amazon wife) know exactly what they are doing and whom they are inviting.

Ovomit is going through the motions, that's all.

Look at those two Obama people and their contemptible all-knowing smiles.

You're right... interesting that the photographer caught the moment perfectly- the Obamas are looking on in the same way a couple of amused guards look at pathetic, psychophantic prisoners who are clueless about their fate. That is really creepy.

Great picture. Obama’s face says it all.

Bootlickers have no place in America.

Nor do totalitarians.

Thanks for the post.

The Jihadi salute, Mrs. White Hut’s grim smile, fat boy’s averted gaze, and Obama’s resigned smirk, all speak volumes. Attention all court Jews. Attention all court Jews. Turn around and leave the White House. You have backed a horse so wrong, it’s not even a horse.

You just can’t keep up with it. The barrier between dimensions is crumbling before our very eyes.

Kwanzaa is beyond desecration. The holiday itself is a disgrace.
