Top Jewish Senator Feinstein: Netanyahu's claim he represents all Jews is 'arrogant'

US Senator Dianne Feinstein said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's claim that he represents all Jews is "arrogant." Feinstein, a senior Jewish senator was referencing comments by Netanyahu before he took off for the US, and said that he does not speak for her.

"He doesn’t speak for me on this," the California Democratic senator told CNN's State of the Union Sunday. "I think it’s a rather arrogant statement. I think the Jewish community is like any other community. There are different points of view. I think that arrogance does not befit, Israel, candidly."

Prominent members of the US Jewish community have urged Netanyahu to delay the speech until after the elections, and dozens of Democratic politicians will be missing when Netanyahu speaks Tuesday, among them Vice President Joe Biden, whose absence behind the prime minister as he speaks will be most conspicuous.

"I intend to go, and I’ll listen respectfully," Feinstein said. "I don’t intend to jump up and down."

So the not-so-subtle sabotage on Netanyahu is in full swing.

Surprise!

Feinstein was born Dianne Emiel Goldman[1] in San Francisco, to Betty (née Rosenburg), a former model, and Leon Goldman, a surgeon. Feinstein’s paternal grandparents were Jewish emigrants from Poland, while her maternal grandparents, the Rosenburg family, from Saint Petersburg Russia, were of Jewish or German ancestry,[5][6] but were of the Russian Orthodox faith.[7][5]

Well, De Gaulle as leader of the Free French during the 2nd World War didn’t represent all French either (e.g., the Vichy French collaborators, whose government branded him a traitor). Vichy French, Vichy Jews like Feinstein or Robert Reich - no difference.

Feinstein’s claim that she represents the American people is also “arrogant”. It must be a politician thing.

I don't believe feinstein is a JEW any more than I believe pelosi is a CATHOLIC or obama is a CHRISTIAN.

"I think it’s a rather arrogant statement. I think the Jewish community is like any other community. There are different points of view....

Ah. So that is why you Demon Rats are happily listening to conservative blacks and Jews, right?

Shove it Feinstein. You are the arrogant one. You and your entire cadre of Demon Rats who foster government dependence....you and your entire cadre of Demon Rats who, at your last national convention, had a CACOPHONY of hatred expressed for the state of Israel and the mention of the Judeo-Christian God.

So keep diggin' that hole, there, Babs. You keep hatin' on Israel, keep hatin' on Bibi.

Such words and haughtiness do not go unnoticed.

They don’t get the difference between careerist and statesman; between politician and leader; between a gig and a calling.

But Obama speaks for all Americans....which is how we wound up with Obamacare.

They never claimed that. They knew they were going to have to take from some to give to themselves. Oh, and to others. It's their entire platform.

Doesn’t Feinstein have other urgent business in finding ways to direct and manipulate legislation so her husband’s business can rake in more multiple millions? Oh and Bibi won’t sellout Israel like she sold out America for her own gain. SHe’s a selfish hog and untrustworthy cretin.

This bitch was simply a SF supervisor who because of a gay man’s death rocketed to prominence.

Her husband is a billionaire who made money of Chinese ventures while she sat on the Foreign Relations Committee

[US Senator Dianne Feinstein said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claim that he represents all Jews is “arrogant.”]

The answer lies in this question. Is a Jew a Jew because of his nationality or because of what he believes?

These aren’t normal times when Jews can safely indulge themselves in philosophically discussing their Zionist or non-Zionist differences.

Iran has long declared its hatred for Israel. It has also declared its intention to destroy it and is now attempting to build nuclear weapons to carry out its final solution to the Israel question — just as the Third Reich in Germany once intended to build death camps for European Jews to carry out ITS version of the Final Solution, and, since it was not prevented from doing so, went ahead and murdered six million Jews.

Today, our president has taken the side of the Israel-hating Iranians. He wants to help them build the nuclear weapons they so desire so that they can ‘’wipe Israel off the map,’’ as they’ve previously stated.

In these circumstances, there are no gray areas. One either supports the Iranians, their anti-Israel intentions, and their champion Barack Obama, or they support the prime minister of Israel who wants to protect his country from annihilation.

The fact that Jewish Americans like Dianne Feinstein have reached the point where they have chosen to support Obama and the Iranians instead of Benjamin Netanyahu and their Jewish brothers and sisters in Israel whom the Iranians would like to destroy marks a dark chapter for Judaism in America.

But if Judaism has survived for more than three thousand years, it is also likely to survive the sneering attacks by Dianne Feinstein. And since Jews have not only survived but have also written the histories of their struggles and of their enemies, it is likely that Senator Feinstein will not fare well in the annals of her people.

No, Obama claims to speak for the Americans who DIDN'T vote. That is the height of arrogance.

He didn’t say he represents “all Jews”, he said “I feel I am the representative of all Israel, even those who disagree with me.” He also said he has a responsibility to worry about the future of the Jewish people. As Israeli PM both statements come with the territory. Get off your high horse DiFi.
