Obama’s National Security Advisor Tells Joke Depicting Jews as Greedy Merchants

Yid With Lid: He was giving the key note speech at a Washington Institute For Near East Policy and started it out with a "joke" that borders on anti-Semitic, teaching the crowd that Jews are just greedy merchants in the same vein as Shakespeare's Shylock...

The joke is merely a rehashing of an old and often harmless theme. But what makes this version dangerously different is that here a Jew hating Muslim terrorist - wandering in a desert & desperate for water - is made to be the victim of Jewish greed & deceit. The fact that this version is told by Obama’s National Security Advisor make it astoundingly revealing.

Huh.

And here I thought the joke was on America's enemy, the Taliban. Could a' fooooled me. I here I was a puttin' myself in it, right there with the clever Jewish brothers and a laughin' at the nasty Taliban doofus.

Must be ah see things at face value, sometimes.

I've sometimes wondered whether my Swedish cousins are somehow descendants of Israel. After all, they kind of have a peculiar sense of humor, they like to keep to their own, they do use a lot of Biblical names -- and they actually like to eat pickled fish. It's just gotta be.

No big deal but probably not smart coming from a National Security Advisor presumably engaged in the region. If he'd told it when he worked for GWB, there'd have been h*ll to pay. If he told it today about a couple of the Prophets Arab camel traders, there'd be h*ll to pay too.

Stop trying to justify yourself. It’s unbecoming. This was not an anti-Taliban joke by any stretch of the imagination.

“Jews are just greedy merchants” That’s what Hitler said too.

The punchline is -- this General didn't say anything at all about greedy merchants. LOL - ah shucks...

Imho, the problem is that this is a continuing example of the anti-semitism and anti-Israel perspective of this administration.

Now we know why Obama was so eager to pick Jones.

Not any more

The General was speaking at "The Washington Institute for Near East Policy." So the audience included Muslims who have been feed a steady stream of propaganda depicting Jews as so "greedy & deceitful" they'd deny water to Muslims wandering in the desert.

At a time when the US is trying to broker a Israeli-Palestinian peace, the General's twist on the clever businessman theme is as I said "astoundingly revealing."

Hopefully the Israelis can recognize that with the Obama crew running American Middle East policy, it's not just raining. The Obama Regime is spitting on them! Apparently many here on FR cannot tell the difference.

“Seriously, Jones, Zib and Obama are enabling a nuclear Iran. Tha’ts what I’m angry about”

That sums it up nicely.

I don’t think this was a very prudent thing to do at this setting, but this was manifestly not a joke about any greedy individuals of any kind.

It was a joke (perhaps to get those very Muslims laughing) at the expense of the Taliban.

Think Taliban => Yosemite Sam

Think foresighted Jewish Merchant willing to assist the Taliban => Bugs Bunny

To say this was about “greedy Jewish merchants” is a horrible and perhaps prejudiced thing to say about this esteemed member of America’s honored military.

"Think Taliban => Yosemite Sam"

I guess that's where our thinking parts. From post # 37:

"The Taliban started as a Sunni-Islamic movement in Afghan refugee camps in Pakistan in 1996. It was stared with Saudi money and by 1997 Al Qaeda fighters were welcomed to form the backbone of their army." And for a very uncartoonish visual display of what the Taliban has been up to since here's a...
