All of that's understandable when you factor in:
(a) Emanuel and Axelrod (Obama presidential campaign stragegists) are best buddies. Axelrod signed the ketuba, the Jewish marriage contract, at Emanuel's wedding, an honor that is reserved for a close family friend or relative.
(b) Rahm Emanuel got rich overnight in the Chicago office of Wasserstein Perella & Co.---Emanuel got millions putting together a merger involving Chicago-based Exelon Corporation----- one of Axelrods biggest PR accounts.
(c) Emanuel is VERY close to Israel, our best friend in the Middle East---one of the conditions for Israel getting billions in US foreign aid is that they share all Mideast intel with the US. So Rahm and Axelrod would have "inside" info gleaned from thousands of Mossad agents stationed in the US.
REFERENCE Circa 1991 Rahm volunteered for Sarela three-week Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) training program (like US boot camp) where civilians are trained to assist the Israeli military. Civilians like Rahm lived on an IDF military base to get the proper training. A civilian volunteer, Rahm assisted the IDF during the 1991 Gulf War, repairing truck brakes in one of Israels northern bases.
Rahm is lacking part of a finger and for many years went around claiming that hed lost it in military actions against the Israeli enemy in a tank. Course, if Rahm fought in the military of foreign government, that would negate his American citizenship (US citizens forfeit their citizenship when they serve in the military of a foreign government).
Rahm's father was an Israeli who was part of the underground resistance movement under the British Mandate.
Obama has stated that dual citizen Rahm tells him "everything he needs to know about Israel."
Rahm is indeed a fascinating character in this nightmare- it seems apparent he and Axelrod are the major “brains” behind The One.
Hmmm? I guess that's one way to put it.
Another is:
Rahm's father was part of the underground Terrorist Group, the Haganah, which targeted the murder of innocent civilians during the British Mandate. Like the bombing of the King David Hotel in which 91 people were killed in the explosion.
A Terrorist by any name, is still a Terrorist.
(and my 'brethren' who were in the IRA are no exception either)
