Revealed: In Private Fundraiser, Keith Ellison Said Israel Controls US Policy

Congressman Keith Ellison’s announcement earlier this month that he wants to be the Democratic National Committee’s next chairman drew quick support from several key lawmakers, including Jewish senators Chuck Schumer and Bernie Sanders.

...

But a 2010 audio of Ellison speaking at a private fundraiser obtained by the Investigative Project on Terrorism calls such praise into question. In a fairly intimate setting, Ellison lashed out at what he sees as Israel’s disproportionate influence in American foreign policy. That will change, he promised:

".The United States’ foreign policy in the Middle East is governed by what is good or bad through a country of 7 million people. A region of 350 million all turns on a country of 7 million. Does that make sense? Is that logic? Right? When the Americans who trace their roots back to those 350 million get involved, everything changes. Can I say that again?"

The fundraiser for Ellison’s re-election campaign was hosted by Esam Omeish, a past president of the Muslim American Society (MAS), who was forced to resign from a Virginia state immigration panel in 2007 after an exclusive IPT videotape showed him praising Palestinians for choosing the “the jihad way … to liberate your land.” Omeish was a candidate for Virginia’s general assembly the previous year, and Ellison spoke at a fundraiser for that losing effort.

Go ahead Democrats! There was only so long Jews of Canada and UK could stay in a left party being filled with Muslims. Just like Brexit and Trump, Jews won't go Republican until they do.

Oh yes, Ellison for Prison!

[GraceG]

Scratch a Muslim, and you will find all of the ideologies of a NAZI under their covering of hate.

[Brad from Tennessee]

Since 2009 Iran has controlled U.S. Middle East policy.

[fluorescence]

This is already a mainstream belief on the left

[Jack Hammer]

This would seem to be a guy who wants to follow the outmoded and uttely discredited policies of obama - making the moslem states first in America’s consideration and sitting by while Israel, our ONLY consistently reliable ally in the Middle East, is destroyed.

This is terribly backward thinking.

[Netz]

Only one country and people in the entire region share something Arabs will never begin to understand or comprehend. Here's that mystical and evasive term the Arabs and Muslims do not get, the word is...ready? V-A-L-U-E-S!!!!!!

We share a common Judeo-Christian, Western, Liberal, Democratic, Free Market economy, Capitalistic, Progressive world outlook who love life and repel evil and death which is what THEY are all about.

Any attempt to drive a wedge between America and Israel, as Obama tried to do will fail...no matter what.

[Eleutheria5]

And the US doesn’t control Israeli policy? And interfere in Israeli elections? That we speak up for ourselves and occasionally the US listens isn’t proof of a conspiracy, but of a sometimes cooperative relationship.

[SaveFerris]

Standard muslim belief. The state of Israel and Jews in particular are their enemies. Christians, too.

Not every single one is radical, but the numbers, even at 10%, mean 160 million people.

[Fai Mao]

Question: If Jews are so smart and secretly run the world through some vast underground cabal, why do they vote for people that hate them?

[FrankR]

Who the hell is Keith Ellison all of a sudden...”E. F. Hutton”?

Nobody cares what he says!

[faithhopecharity]

Ignorant Idiot bigot. What’s wrong with Minnesota anyway to send an islamonazi to congress?

[WayneS]

Well, I’m more than satisfied that Keith al Ellison is qualified to be DNC chairman. I think they should give him the job right now.

[ErikJohnsky]

They did kind of vote for Mondale.

[Russ]

I agree! PLEASE make him head of the DNC!!

[MarMema]

Amen.

[Original Lurker]

And Al Franken.

[stocksthatgoup]

Certainly the Democrat Party

[PIF]

Actually it was the Nazis who adopted the Islamic hate code - but it works in reverse.

[faithhopecharity]

Mondale yes. MN did vote for several more DFL leftist types too. They have that history, alas. But this guy is an overt islamonazi type hate machine, and remarkably ignorant too. This is different from Mondale or Humphrey or even Eugene McCarthy.
