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.

Satire is dead. Satirists need to step away from the computer(or typewriter, or writing desk), go outside, get some fresh air ... and then go to community college and learn to be welders. Their current job is obsolete. Reality has outstripped them.
I’m surprised he didn’t tell the story of the crematorium that burned for 7 days.

Please provide a quote or link? I have never seen conservative Jews treated badly on this website. Of course, we treat liberals of all kinds with no respect whatsoever.

Why anyone of Jewish ancestry or faith would attend an event inside this White House, is beyond me.
Look at those two Obama people and their contemptible all-knowing smiles.
You know darn well they’re both thinking these are exactly the type of people that will be addressed in the new Islamic America.
Disgusting...
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Obama proves that he has truly earned the title of “Chazzer” (Pig)
He certainly didn't lift a finger about thedestruction and expulsion of Christians from the Middle East overthe past year.
Too bad the MSM is so vile they won't run a story on this... Hey Washington Post? How you guy's liken' the new digs?
for not accepting Jesus
Oh my good ness Jesus would NEVER say such a thing. He loves you JUST the way you are.
God bless you my Jewish friend. We will do great things in Heaven for God our Father once we leave this material place.
Happy Channuka(SP) I am Catholic if you will forgive my spelling.
I’m thinking there MUST be a special place in Hell for Ovomit and his nasty, stinking, evil idiot entourage.
Happy Chanukah and Merry Christmas.
G-d Bless America and God Bless America.
There are many different roads in this life, yet a good many lead to the same place.
Happy Chanukah
Talve's outrageous talk was not only deeply insulting to the religious Jewish community, but to ALL Jews who are concerned about the survival of Israel and the Jewish people, and to all non-Jews who are supportive of such efforts.
I'd like to know who, even in the Reform movement, give this nut job the title of "Rabbi". Later on in the posted article, she's quoted as saying, "I stand here to light these lights to say no to the darkness of Islamophobia and Homophobia and Transphobia." It even gets worse: she "babbled about insuring 'justice for Palestinians' and began gleefully chanting 'Ins'Allah,' 'Ins'Allah." Or 'Allah Willing'." Now seriously, you would think that these last words of an imam, not a "rabbi."
If this kind of stuff were said at the first Obama White House Chanukah party, more of us would be shocked. But with repetitive White House stunts like this, many have grown accustomed to this anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, pro-Islamic buffoonery emanating from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. It's gotten to the point where hardly any reasonable Jew would or should accept an invitation to an Obama Chanukah party.
Chanukah is a story about Jews killing Jews like Talve.
