RABBI FIRST U.S. VICTIM OF JIHAD
KAHANE CEREMONY OFFENSIVE TO OBAMA
Any commemoration in the Knesset (Israeli Parliament) of the anniversary of Rabbi Meir Kahane's assassination would be harmful to the peace process, the American Embassy told The Jerusalem Post.
The American comments came after the Jerusalem Post obtained e-mails in which an embassy official told Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin's office that any plans for such a ceremony was "something that Senator [George] Mitchell and his team are following with concern."
The e-mails also implied that such a ceremony would be frowned upon by President Barack Obama who is attempting to strengthen the U.S. ties to Muslim nations.
The likelihood of such a ceremony taking place was also the subject of a flurry of internal embassy e-mails, in which US officials scrambled to find out where and when a commemoration of the assassinated far-right-wing rabbi would occur.
The American-born Kahane was murdered in New York 19 years ago by an Egyptian-American who was a member of the same al-Qaida cell that carried out the first terror attack on the World Trade Center in 1993.

You mean kind of like we should not be celebrating Veterans Day, Memorial Day and our victorious generals and soldiers of WWII cause it might hurt relations with Germany and Japan?
Or for lack of better terms, a prez who refuses to honor our slain soldiers at Fort Hood by showing an itsy bitzy amount of compassion or emotion?
He’s a muslim freak, kind of how some people are called ‘Jesus Freaks’. He can’t and won’t say anything bad about muslims...
He acts like he’s anti-american doesn’t he.
(Pure sarcasm)
Obama wants to honor, Che’ Guevara. That’s more his kind of guy.
Who the heck cares what Obama thinks about this? The Presidency doesn’t exist for this lunatic to do whatever he wants. He supposedly represents this country.
Hey Mitchell........CONCERN THIS!!!
Let little Barry Foo-Foo frown, stamp his feet and have himself a hissy fit. The adults will do what adults must.
This is consistent with the rumor that the US State Dept.
has a statue to Arafat, murderer of crippled American
Klinghoffer. The celebrate the murder.
The US State Dept, and Pres_ _ent Obama (SOA),
apparently celebrate the death of Americans,
especially Jews.
Kahane was quite possibly the greatest Jew since Maimonides, or Joshua even. His books are filled with hard truths about Arabs and Jews alike, and the accuracy rate of his predictions 30 years ago is chilling. Why does Israel even speak to the Arab Mitchell? Just stop talking to the U.S. Speed up the settlements, and screw the peace process. What can Obama do? Nothing. Congress will just shut down any intended punishment he has in store.
Have the Palis taken down all the ‘shrine’ posters of their suicide bombers?? Thought not.
Roger that. I don't know who died and left him in charge of Israel.
How does one say screw the Obama Administration?Oh!!!I Just Did.
Bingo!
Mitchell fits nicely in the O administration.
Recall him saying late 1980s (and I am paraphrasing here):
“If we abolished the progressive income tax rate we would have an armed revolution.”
He wants His thought police to control other countries? Ambitious the skinny Kenyan is.
Please don’t try and and claim this guy was some sort of honorable human being. If he didn’t emigrate to Israel in the early 70s, he would have been brought up charges here in the US. Most people considered him and his followers to violent crazies.
Love it.
Little Barry Foo-Foo
Hopping thru the White House
Scoopin up the 'Sraelis
Boppin em on the head.
Sounds like you got your information from such people, untrue though it was.
Clinging to their Bibles and guns?
Sounds like the Tea Party crowd I just love...
Kahane was the best.
