Jewish useful idiots
JWR ^ | Dec. 16, 2005 | Mona Charen

Apparently eager to disprove the Jewish reputation for intelligence, the Union for Reform Judaism recently adopted a resolution condemning the Iraq War and demanding that President Bush provide "a clear exit strategy," including a plan for troop withdrawals. In a letter to President Bush alerting him to the URJ's action, Robert Heller and Rabbi Eric Yoffe lost no opportunity to flaunt their supposed moral sensitivity. Calling the war a "major tragedy" that has "discredited … America in the international community" and "contributed to the growth of terrorism," the two Reform leaders informed the president: "We also call on Congress to provide more effective oversight of the war and to ensure that the financial burden of the war falls not just on the poor and on future generations but is shared equitably. … We condemn, in the strongest possible terms, violations of the Geneva Conventions and other applicable laws, including torture and abuse of detainees in U.S. custody … " And so on. The Reform movement is the largest Jewish denomination in America and the most liberal (politically and religiously). There is nothing new about Reform Jews adopting leftist positions. But this one is particularly galling. Consider the irony: Throughout the Muslim world, from Indonesia to Egypt to Pakistan, huge numbers are convinced that the United States is engaged in Iraq only because a powerful cabal of Jews lured the nation into it. Millions are certain that Jews did not show up for work at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, because they were in on the sinister plan by the Israeli Mossad or the CIA to hijack planes, fly them into the buildings and then blame Al Qaeda.

Siding with the terrorists just means that they'll kill you last.

Russ Feingold, Arlen Specter, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, the New York Times lineup vs. Joe Lieberman. Its no contest. Lieberman wins in the first round as his opponents will not answer the bell.

Why do I get the feeling that if a Socialist president (e.g. one of the Clintons) had invaded Iraq, they would be for it? Can't have an anti-Socialist President doing good things, now, what might people think? Maybe they're merely Socialists first and Jews second.

"contributed to the growth of terrorism,"

-- -- --

Sure it is. We haven't had a terrorist attack since 9/11 with Bush in charge. During Clinton we had terrorist attacks occur regularly, even by the FBI on Waco and Elian.

The URJ letter arrived on President Bush's desk just a few days before Iraqis once again demonstrated their eagerness for democratic practice by standing in long lines at voting places around the nation. How can the United States possibly leave this job unfinished? To leave is to fail. The Islamists know this full well and are banking that just a few more roadside bombs will tip the balance of American public opinion.

Absolutely. I can't believe these so-called reform Jews are so blind. If the Islamists had the chance, they would cut their heads off bigtime.

It takes a Jew to disprove a Jew. One shouldn't need to state the obvious. Someone needs to tell that to Eric Yoffie. LOL

>>>>>Joe Lieberman. Its no contest. Lieberman wins in the first round as his opponents will not answer the bell.<<<<<

Joe Lieberman is scum of the highest caliber. He coldbloodedly attributed American values to islamic terrorists allied with Al Qaeda.

Here is the quote, according to the Washinton Post, April 28, 1999:

""[The] United States of America and the Kosovo Liberation Army stand for the same human values and principles ... Fighting for the KLA is fighting for human rights and American values."

KLA values are destruction of hundreds of ancient medieval Christian shrines, murder of thousands of innocents, expulsion of several hundred thousand Christians during Clinton's agression on Serbia and weapons smuggling, heroin trafficking, white slavery, graft and racketeering in NATO occupied Kosovo after the war.

Joe Lieberman should be running for cover, not for election.

This reminds me of why police fear responding to domestic violence calls.

They can pull a guy off his wife while he is in the process of choking her to death, but when they turn their back on the wife to cuff the scumbag, the wife stabs the cop in the back with a kitchen knife or bashes his head in with a rolling pin.

The universal siege of Israel by the Left and the obvious fact that only American-style Bible chr*stians (and the sector of the Conservative movement that they influence) are standing by her has brought the Jewish lefties out in force. They've been doing everything they possibly can to alienate pro-Israel conservatives and chr*stians and to push the public perception of Jewry even further to the Left (if such a thing is possible).

It is for these reasons that I am planning a vanity rant in the near future. Please stay tuned.

Mona writes an excellent article, again. Thanks for the posting.

This wasn't just about Jewish Americans, as she also mentions Methodists. I was surprised by her comment about the liberal leadership of the Methodists. So I did some research and it seems she is right:

http://www.umc.org/site/c.gjJTJbMUIuE/b.1118121/k.8ABD/Board_of_Church_and_Society_calls_for_withdrawal_from_Iraq.htm

I don't think this represents the rank and file. Has the leadership been hijacked?

Is there a denomination out there that supports the war on terror from bottom to top?
