Survival is a powerful incentive.
One more factor: Given his past (non-)record, Obama is in so far over his head in this job that he’ll have a permanent stiff neck from looking up. If he cracks and turns into a de-facto ventiloquist’s dummy for his advisors, then access becomes power - and Rahm will not only have access, but control access. Given Rahm’s personality, this could cripple the executive power.
You got Ram Emmanuel pegged exactly. That’s how it will play out.... Emanuele will provide cover if/when Hussein Obama screws Israel
Emanuele send his children to Jewish day schools? Of course he does. Did you expect him to send them to Chicago public schools? Neither does hypocrite Obama but of course the teacher unions love them both
he never served in the Israeli army.
Trust me. This will piss off a lot of his followers. Rahm is an Israel First guy. Remember, 9/11 made anti-semiticism cool among the Left. This is a “Come To Jesus” moment for them.
“In my experience “Jewish Day School”, in this case Anshe Emmet, is “codeword” for we’d like our kids to get a religious education. “
rofl
but I do believe the school in question is Conservative not Orthodox as the article states
Brilliant choice... for shutting up those who don’t want Israel pressured into surrendering vital territory.
“In the tense talks with the Palestinians at Wye Plantation in 1998, the Israeli team headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was especially wary of one of President Bill Clinton’s aides - Rahm Emanuel. His fluent Hebrew, his instinctive grasp of the “Israeli” mind set and above all his complete loyalty to his boss made the Israelis afraid to talk near him.”
bye bye Hebron.
The father is a yored (reverse aliyah). Why? Swung left?
More identity politics: he is one of ours, so he must be OK. Emmanuel , who never served in the American Army, did serve in the Israeli Army. No one these “American” Jewish organizations like him. His loyalties match theirs.
“More identity politics: he is one of ours, so he must be OK.”
It’s killing us. Even republicans get tribal if you dare mention anything about anyone with an R beside their name no matter how corrupt or inept the person is. Identity politics aka tribalism (let’s call it what it is!) is how we got stuck with McCain and Obama. Divide and conquer, kiddies, that’s what this is!
Yes, good school too.
You may want to do a little research, and not believe everything you read on internet.
1st. Hitler had great grandparents too...his geneology reveals many jewish names (not all names mean they are jewish, but the many he has (some of these last names were in Jewish training camps and executed).
Such as: Huemueller, Artner, Kaufmann, Tecker, Hagen, Anderl, Sillip, Walli, Decker, Hiedler just to name a few...all listed as jewish and all surnames of Hitlers great grandparents:
http://genealogy.wikia.com/wiki/Adolf_Hitler_(1889-1945)
Now go to the JewishWebIndex.com to see how surnames were formed, and then go to the list of JewishGeneology and you’ll find most of them were Prussian jews, and some of these jewish names survived Holocaust like Artner and Huemueller. Not a coincidence and not a myth...Hitler had some Jewish great grandparents...period.
William Shirer, IIRC, debunks the "Hitler had Jewish ancestry" myth in his classic history, "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich."
Sorry but that isn’t true, as the JewishGeneology has proven. So one man makes a mistake, it doesn’t fly with me. The names of his ancestors are also the names of many of the jews imprisoned during the holocaust. You can go look it up..sheesh. Even Hitler arrested those with the same name as his great grandparents and said they were jews...what more proof do you need.
Bill Ayers is a professor too, do you believe everything he says?
Wrong, he never served in the Israeli army.
Intellectual barbarian if you think that is brilliant, I myself consider that to be a sick human being.
I don't doubt that. That's because, as I said, there are many surnames "owned" by both Jews and German non-Jews. Two people can share the same surname without any traceable common ancestors.
German Jews weren't persecuted during the Nazi era on the basis of their surnames. In most instances they or their parents had self-identified as Jews in national censuses taken by the previous regime, so the Nazis had a good idea who was Jewish even before they came to power. Additional Jews were identified by neighbors in the general civilian population who ratted them out to Nazi government bureaucrats.
This ratting out was also the most common way which the Nazis identified Jews in the nations they occupied.
I still challenge you to name an authoritative source which states that Hitler had Jewish ancestors. BTW, although Hitler did not, a few top Nazi officials did.
This is true.
Rahm is an Israel First guy.
Considering his record in the Clinton White House and support of Oslo, I don't see how you can say this.
Maybe, but he is apparently a member of a Modern Orthodox congregation.
So you're saying that a "one hundred percent American" policy would support the palestinians/Arabs/moslems? Yeah, they're real good friends of America, they are!
