White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel will head to Israel this week for his son's Bar Mitzvah celebration. The celebration may be moved from the Kotel (Western Wall) to an alternate location due to concerns that the ceremony might draw protests.

In January, activists Baruch Marzel and Itamar Ben-Gvir, who serve as parliamentary aides to MK Michael Ben-Ari, wrote to Emanuel and suggested he avoid celebrating at the Kotel.

Wouldn’t Gaza be more welcoming or is Rahm simply testing exactly how obviously he can insult his fellow Jews?

Pull a Noam and don’t let him in. He is not your friend, Israel.

Who is paying for this and his security?

[theDentist]

I suspect he is carrying a very harsh private message between the Obama and Israel’s Prime Minister.

[ilovesarah2012]

Wonder who’s paying for it?

[darkangel82]

Bounce. Emanuel cannot procreate.

Hey Rham, Gai tren zich!

[nickcarraway]

Is Farrakhan going to?

[K-oneTexas]

He should be declared persona non gratis by the Israeli government.

Another caring progressive showing off his greenie credentials.

Let him in. Just don’t let him out.

Will he prance a pixie dance?

In view of this Free Republic article about the recent White House meeting with Rabbis, it should be noted that I also recall this article about Rahm Emanuel on Free Republic that said;

QUOTE They point out that “to our sorrow” during the last year, President Barak Obama’s tenure in the White House, “You have worked against the State of Israel and the Jewish People”. They remind Emanuel of his recent comment to Israel’s consul general to Los Angeles, in which he is quoted as saying “I have had it with the Israelis”. “You are not the first Jew in history trying to advance himself at the expense of his people. There were traitors before you such as Josephus Flavius and others, who in all likelihood also celebrated their bar mitzvah but we remember them as traitors, seeking riches and honor, at the expense of their people." UNQUOTE

The stench of a LEFTIST deal is obvious.

Can we at least congratulate his son for his accomplishment if we are going to question Emanuel’s motives?

I can’t stand his politics but the child is blessed to be able to celebrate his Bar Mitzvah in Israel.

[Albion Wilde]

Dig this...

[BelegStrongbow]

That’s the kind of thing the elite always manage to arrange. I congratulate the son on surviving 13 years as the man’s son. He can celebrate wherever, but Rahm is as bad as Josephus and just as brazen.

[justiceseeker93]

Seem to have heard about Emanuel's Bar Mitzvah plans for his son a few months ago, as well as the potential for Israelis to protest his presence.

[Dick Bachert]

While there, Rahm will hurl a copy of the Torah beneath a Tel Aviv transit motor coach, symbolizing the Obama maladministration’s actions toward Israel since infesting the White House.

He will make a brief side-trip to Tehran, where, in a private ceremony, he will press his lips to the posterior of the leader of that nation and deliver a letter from Obama apologizing for America’s wanton September 11, 2001 murder of 19 innocent muslim martyrs for not relocating those two dangerously located 110 story buildings in NYC before these muslim heroes arrived by air.

Don’t hold back - tell us how you really feel.
