Disgraceful White House Hanukkah celebration
American Thinker ^ | 12/11/15 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 12/11/2015 4:42:08 AM PST by markomalley

Leave to Barack Obama to turn what should be a celebration of the Jewish people’s survival in the face of adversity into a politicized rant celebrating the cause of the Palestinians, who want to “drive them into the sea,” as has been promised since the birth of the modern State of Israel.

Daniel Greenfield reports on what should have been the highlight of this year’s White House ceremony at Front Page Magazine:

…the White House chose Susan Talve to light the Menorah. Talve is a member of the anti-Israel group T'ruah which is currently promoting assorted "soft BDS" programs. She's also a Ferguson activist. Her behavior was deeply insulting to the religious Jewish community and made it clear that the White House was determined to hijack even a Chanukah party to promote an anti-Jewish agenda.

So the general conviviality of the Chanukah party was disrupted by a crazed rant from Susan Talve in which she seemed determined to jam as many leftist talking points as possible in her limited time. Instead of talking about Chanukah, Talve blathered on about getting, "guns off our streets" and to "clean up the fires of toxic nuclear waste".

Talve screeched, "I stand here with my fierce family of clergy and black lives matter activists who took to the streets of Ferguson". 

Having celebrated the race riots which destroyed a community, she pivoted to Syrian Muslim migrants. Chanukah is a celebration of the Maccabees defeating a Syrian occupation, but Talve may not even know that. Radical clergy tend to be light on the religion and heavy on the social justice.

Another BOHICA moment for American Jews. When will the realize that conservatives are their true allies.

It’s all good. Most Jewish voters will obediently vote for Democrats like good lemmings.

I have no doubt that Obama wouldn’t blink an eye, or lift a finger, to help Israel or the Jews if they faced destruction. I think he despises them.

Everytime I think this White House cannot sink any lower, they prove me wrong.

He thumbed his nose at the Catholic Church with his choice of assorted heretics, pro-infanticide and gender freaks when Pope Francis visited the WH.

He hates the God of Abraham. The man is a cultural muslim and Marxist.

It’s obvious.

Talve screeched, "I stand here with my fierce family of clergy and black lives matter activists who took to the streets of Ferguson".

So, just wondering, does Talve now have a really nice, new wide-screen TV?

Or is it a fully-stocked liquor cabinet?

Not everyone on this web site is a friend of Jews, like the idiot yesterday who called me a loser at life for not accepting Jesus.

My Catholic wife thankfully doesn’t think of me like that!

When will the American people see Obama as the Jihadist sympathizer that he is?

” Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it “ ... Thus, the success story of those who influenced BHO.

I wish they had invited Hanukkah Harry ping.

This made the Macabees cry. And the lakes burn.

Golda Meir once reportedly said "We will only have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us".

I'm waiting for the majority of American Jews to decide they care more about the fate of their grandchildren than their love of Socialism.
