Puerto Rico’s Biggest Newspaper: The U.S. Hasn’t Helped Us Because Of ‘The Jew’
Forward ^ | January 10, 2018 | Jeffrey Boxer

Posted on 01/11/2018 5:08:57 AM PST by SJackson

It has been nearly three months since Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico, and the island’s recovery has been slow. The U.S. territory is struggling with shortages of food and medical supplies, and a full 45% of residents still don’t have power.

San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz blames Washington for failing to devote adequate resources to Puerto Rico’s recovery — she recently dubbed President Trump the “disaster-in-chief”. But a journalist for El Nuevo Día, the newspaper with the largest circulation in Puerto Rico, has found a different culprit: “the Jew.”

Columnist Wilda Rodríguez wrote a piece on Monday, titled “What Does ‘The Jew’ Want From The Colony?” According to Rodríguez, it is “Wall Street types,” not politicians, that dictate U.S. policy. And, who are the power brokers on Wall Street?

“In the end, Congress will do what ‘the Jew’ wants, as the vulgar prototype of true power is called,” she wrote.

Rodríguez added a disclaimer: “No offense to people of that religion.” She even argued that the term is a source of pride for Israeli Jews.

“More than 20 years ago, the Israeli paper Ma’ariv had an article in Hebrew that explained how the Jews control Washington,” she wrote. “For Israelis, recognizing Jewish power over Washington is not an offensive statement. It is the victory of the Diaspora.”

What does ‘the Jew’ want? Rodriguez believes that Wall Street is punishing Puerto Ricans because of the island’s $70 billion debt. “That we could get away without paying would be fatal to Wall Street morale,” she wrote. “The punishment needs to make it clear to the debtor world that Wall Street cannot be manipulated.”

El Nuevo Día has since added an editorial note to the top of the article that apologizes to the island’s Jewish community, adding, “we do not promote content that can be interpreted as anti-Semitic.”

That is like me saying, “Eff all the people of the island of Puerto Rico, who are wetbacks, incapable of thinking or doing work, as all are born with lifetime capabilities that cannot rise above cockroaches and whose race is forever mentally defective and forever cursed. I certainly mean no offense to these people...”

We started 2018 with the same uncertainty that left us the year before: what are the plans of the metropolis for its colony?

How about this?

Go! Be gone! Don't let the door hit you on the way out!

What value does Puerto Rico hold to the USA? Better for them they be their own nation, and can beg the UN for freebies, rather than the American Yankee Imperialists from Metropolis...

The fact of the matter is that antisemitism is a disease of sociopaths who need hatred to survive.

Spain doesn’t want Puerto Rico. The Spaniards fobbed them off on us even if it cost them Cuba, a truly productive place (then).

I’ll bet if we invited Raul Castro to send the Cuban People’s Army to invade PR, he’d say “Claro que no!!!” after calling us `Yanqui imperialistas maricones’.

That nutty authorette made an implied threat about `resolving this matter through the Puerto Rican diaspora’. That’s an encouragement for terrorism by all the PR’s already here but especially those who fled the island last year. They’ve done it before (1951).

“The U.S. Hasn’t Helped Us Because Of ‘The Jew’”

I agree with them, and considering the disproportionate levels of Jews in both political parties, especially the Democrats, I think their only option is to cut themselves loose from the United States and go it alone.

Did they not cancel a contract to restore power?

Are they so corrupt that they would go down?

Is it time to give Puerto Rico back to Spain?

They bankrupt themselves. That country has no money to help themselves.
Whose fault is that?

Looking past the crudeness of Ms. Rodriguez’s remarks...do you disagree that Wall St. bankers have their hooks into Congress and are more likely the ones determining the outcome for Puerto Rico?

Typical third world blaming everyone else for being too stupid to provide for themselves.

I’m 100% Jewish.

All I ever got from Puerto Rico was the runs after drinking water when I landed to refuel.

Blaming the Jews has been the go-to excuse for incompetenants in power for 3500 years.

Seems to be effective political position.
