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.

AllI Muslim all the.
I think he hates Jews and Christians. What other conclusion can you come to.
By the way, with fthis goofy climate change agreement Terrorism should end right?
One thing Obama is good at is dredging up loons to appear with him to promote his twisted visions and attempts to pervert tradition and history.
He is completely disconnected from reality.
I just listened to the audio of that bitch. First thing she does is praise America for letting ‘all immigrants’ in, a slap in the face of Emma Lazarus, and the tone of her voice is nauseating. She is actually using the statue of liberty to mandate invasion by terrorist sleepers.
