Jews are ‘adept at working the American political system’ aided by ‘the memory of the Holocaust’ - extraordinary claim made by journal where Huma Abedin was assistant editor.”

Both statements are 100% true, and are not the least bit offensive. The political influence of the small percentage (2%) of Americans who are Jews has long been a marvel and a model for other groups.


The last 8 years should disprove these claims.

If the author wants to gin up outrage, he needs to look further.
The Holocaust denial and saying blaming American policies for September 11th should do it.

But

The author might well look for Holocaust Denial, or blaming American policies for September 11 in some of the Journal’s articles. This Daily Mail piece didn’t present anything that actually amounts to either. I have no desire to defend Huma Abedin, who has shown by her choice of associates and activities that she is a person of poor judgement and low character. I am sick to death of spin, the unholy child of the first corrupt Clinton imperium.

An analysis that concludes that the September 11 attacks were not very surprising in the context of Middle Eastern resentments, etc., is not outlandish (I would hope US Intel had enough sense to know it), nor does it amount to saying the attacks were justified. The Journal might have those opinions, but the material cited does not.

Observing that the memory of the Holocaust is an important factor in Jewish political influence does not constitute “Holocaust denial” absent other information.

Arab and other Middle Eastern groups have for many years looked to the success of AIPAC and Jewish lobbying groups, and the high numbers of Jews in US government positions, as a model they wish to emulate. The article cited in the DM is an example of an academic analysis of exactly that. The notion that Jewish influence has been absent in the past 8 years is a fantasy, despite Obama’s pro-Islamic bias, but it is irrelevant since the material being discussed predates that time period.
