Obama: Security Clearance for Muslim Brotherhood, Jihadists, Not Jewish Dentists
FrontPage ^ | December 17, 2015 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 12/18/2015 9:42:37 AM PST by MarvinStinson

Jihadists, Yes, Pro-Israel Jews, No.

If you're a member of a Islamic terror group, you can and will get security clearance. If you're working at Fort Hood, you can run slideshows supporting terrorists and handing out Soldier of Allah business cards, and there's no problem.

But if you're an elderly Jewish dentist volunteering at a Naval clinic, it's another story, as Bret Stephens reports.

When Gershon Pincus turned 60, he decided he wanted to give something back to his country. The Brooklyn-born father of four had maintained a successful private dental practice in New York City for 35 years. As he would later attest in an affidavit, “I can think of no better way to experience the sunset of my career than by using my professional skills as a dentist to assist those who have chosen to serve in the United States military.”

So Dr. Pincus turned to the USAJobs website, found an opening for part-time work at an off-base Naval clinic in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., and applied. By the summer of 2014 he was making a weekly commute of some 400 miles to the clinic from his home in the Far Rockaway neighborhood of Queens. It was routine dentistry at lower pay than he had earned in private practice. But it was the opportunity he had sought to serve.

That October, Dr. Pincus underwent a routine interview to obtain a security clearance for civilian employees. As part of the interview, he made note of his familial connections in Israel. Two of his siblings had moved there in the 1980s, though neither worked for the Israeli government. His elderly mother, now suffering from dementia, had also moved there late in life, so her daughter could help take care of her. And one of Dr. Pincus’s children, Avi, had served briefly in the Israeli army before tragically succumbing to a drug overdose at an early age.

So Dr. Pincus was denied clearance because, "You have weekly telephone contact with your mother and brother in Israel."

And this appears to have become a pattern in the era of the most anti-Israel president in American history.

Since the Obama administration came to office, there have been a total of 58 cases in which Israeli ties were a significant factor in the decision. Of these, 36 applicants—an astonishing 62% of the total—lost their appeals and had their clearance applications denied. For comparison, there has been just one case of a French citizen losing an appeal and being denied a clearance, and zero involving British citizens.

But it's a given that Huma Abedin, despite her Islamist ties, and parents living in a country that sponsors terrorism, has no security clearance issues. And guys like this, also have no problem.

Tis difficult to grasp and understand how this can happen. Today, my leisure reading is a book ISAACS ARMY, the true story of Jewish people in Poland, when the Nazi Army advanced. They were so unsuspecting and ill prepared. People BETTER wake up and start making some plans A and B... because this is not going to turn out pretty.

And when people ask me why I believe this administration is trying to destroy this country, it is things like this I point to.

60 isn’t elderly. If the writer is trying to gin up sympathy, he needs to start by being less of a jerk.

Huma Abedin, despite her Islamist ties, had no security clearance issues and was placed at the very top of the Obama State Department.

Jewish dentists are useless in sponsoring Jihadi attacks in election season to keep the head Muslim in charge in office. Why bother?

Hey: I want to know if I am the only one that gets bugged by this.

BOR, Kelly, CNN, MSNBC, GOPers’ on Fox, EVERYONE even Glenn Beck who appears to be doing something about this...

ALL SAY YOU CAN’T base immigration on religion.

Yet this regime appears to be doing exactly (all Muslims, no Christians) that and outside of a couple of stories on the web, NOBODY says anything about it...

What’s up with this?

Jews are horrible, I went to the store and bought a package of bacon, and asked the cashier who was Jewish if the bacon was good and he simply said he doesn’t eat pork and continued to check me out at the register. I was so hurt because he didn’t eat what I did and felt micro-agression.... HOW DARE HE!

The next day I went to buy some bacon and the Syrian Muslim Cashier refused to check me out and chopped my head off while chanting allahu ackbar.

I deserved it because i wasn’t culturally sensitive enough to not bring bacon up to the register.

When the British surrendered at Yorktown, their band played a song called “The World Turned Upside Down.” That’s how I feel about the White House.

Look, you have to accept reality.

muslims invented science and math and building buildings and science and writing and reading and medicine and kindness and wouldn’t hurt a fly.

Meanwhile Christians and Jews never did anything worthwhile and all they did was kill people and be very mean to them.

Oddly enough yes, the last dentist I went to was a scarf-wearing Muslim woman, very jolly lady, indeed I could have sworn she was flirting with me at one point.

Then again it was in Indonesia and Indonesian women are like that, very coquettish the lot of ‘em, and great fun.

Dentistry skills on the other hand? Well, I’ll leave it at that.

We should have put all the surrendering Limeys to the sword and sent the King their heads, maybe that would scared the bastards away from harassing us into the war of 1812.

No no, sorry, just feeling thirsty for the blood of our enemies.

RT had a program about increases in hate crimes against Muslims, noting significant increases after terror events. The chart they had up listed both anti-Muslim and Jewish hate crimes over time. I noticed there were many more hate crimes against Jews than against Muslims, but this fact went unmentioned.
