Joe’s Jews
"THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRATS VOTED FOR"

Quick question: What is the most fanatical terrorist
state in the world?
Quick answer: According to a 2017 report––the
world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism is Iran.

I go back to 2017 to remind readers that this report
was issued by the new Trump Administration’s State
Department and that it departed radically from the
assessment of Barack Obama’s State Department and
the previous eight years of the Obama regime’s
starry-eyed infatuation with that terrorist state,
to the degree that both Barack Obama and then-VP Joe
Biden were enthusiastic co-architects of the Iran
deal (aka the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action).
The Obama-Biden deal offered the mullahs relief from
sanctions and mountains of money in exchange for
their oh-so-trustworthy promise to use the nuclear
weapons they were developing exclusively for
peaceful purposes.
And yet, after the deal was signed on July 14,
2015––significantly, and I believe purposefully,
during the three-week mourning period that Jews
observe every year for the destruction of the Holy
Temples in Jerusalem––and after Obama-Biden gave
Iran $150
billion, and then another
$1.3 billion!, Iran’s
hostilities substantially increased in
terror sprees in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan
and Iraq.
And that is not to omit Iran’s bountiful
sponsorship of terrorist groups
including Hezbollah in
Lebanon, Hamas in
Gaza, and other Palestinian groups like Islamic
Jihad and the Popular
Front for the Liberation of Palestine, in
addition to their murderous militias of terrorism
against U.S. troops.
But to me, all that pales in comparison to the
oft-repeated statements of the mullahs of
Iran––including Iran’s
supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei––who have been calling Israel a “cancerous
tumor” and threatening to “wipe Israel off the map”
for decades now.
Significantly, German Chancellor Angela
Merkel’s government has declared that
Iran’s call to obliterate the State of Israel is not
an expression of antisemitism but simply
“anti-Israel rhetoric.” Coming from Germany, never
has the expression “consider the source” been more
apt!
It is important to remember that during his infamous
basement campaign, candidate Biden said that his “top
priority” was to reenter the
genocidal-to-Israel Iran Deal.
This is what Democrats voted for. This is what
Jewish Democrats voted for.
OBAMA REDUX
Let’s look at the appointments and proposed
appointments, so far, of the Biden-Harris regime.
MAHER BITAR for
Senior Director for Intelligence of the National
Security Council (NSC). According
to the esteemed Daniel Greenfield, Biden
has put an aggressive anti-Israel activist and
Boycott/Divest/Sanction (BDS) supporter––who has
called for the destruction of Israel––in this
powerful position. At a conference in Georgetown of
the Palestine Solidarity Movement––a BDS anti-Israel
hate group––Bitar lectured on how to best demonize
Israel. “Bitar’s rise through the ranks,” writes
Greenfield, “speaks to the abandonment of Israel by
the Democrats and the ineptitude of pro-Israel
advocates at fighting the personnel battles that
define the government.”
ANTHONY BLINKEN,
who is Jewish, for Secretary of State. According to
the Zionist
Organization of America (ZOA),
“after notorious Jew-hater and BDS promoter Linda
Sarsour spoke at the Democratic National
Convention,” a Biden staffer “mollified” the
outraged Jewish community by stating that Biden “condemns
[Sarsour’s] views and opposes BDS…” But
“Blinken and other top Biden staffers quickly
apologized profusely to Sarsour! He also praised radical
anti-Israel J Street as a ‘constructive force,” and
opposed designating the terrorist Iranian IRGC as a
foreign terror organization.
KRISTEN CLARKE to
head the Civil Rights Division of the Department of
Justice. Paul Miller, executive director of the Haym
Salomon Center, documents that
Clarke “has a troubling history of advocating for
anti-Semites and representing anti-Semitic lies as
‘fact.’” In one of many examples, Miller cites that
as the head of Harvard’s Black Students Association,
Clarke endorsed and supported Tony Martin, a staunch
anti-Semite and Holocaust denier who wrote a book
called The Jewish
Onslaught in which he attacked Judaism and the
Jewish people. Clarke said he based his opinions on
“indisputable fact.”
REEMA DODIN for
Deputy Director of the White House Office of
Legislative Affairs. According to the ZOA, Dodin’s
background as a Palestinian propagandist and
supporter of suicide bombings is so egregious that
she should be fired on the spot. Dodin also organized anti-Israel
rallies at UC Berkeley; spread Medieval-style blood
libels, including the false claim that Israel denies
Palestinian Arabs food, water, and medical
treatment, et al. She was also a leader of
the Hamas-affiliated Muslim Students Association and
has close ties to the Council on American Islamic
Relations (CAIR).
AVRIL HAINES,
who is Jewish, for Director of National
Intelligence. Described as being rabidly
anti-Israel, Haines was Obama’s deputy
national security adviser and deputy director of the
CIA and is now the deputy director of Obama’s
Columbia World Project which attracts huge donations
from foreign sources, many of them openly
anti-Israel. Last May, she signed a vicious J Street
letter with 30 notoriously Israel-loathing former
foreign-policy officials calling on the Democrat
Party to oppose Israel’s lawful rights in Judea and
Samaria, et al.
JOHN
KERRY,
who has Jewish roots, as Envoy for Climate. With personal
connections to Iran, Kerry has been
accused of “nuclear nepotism.” Adam Berkowitz has
written that “even the Israeli leftist
newspaper Haaretz is appalled by John Kerry’s
bungled, counterproductive, utter
capitulation to Hamas.” And Joseph Klein has
written of Kerry’s farewell stab at
Israel when he was Secretary of State under Obama.
KARINE JEAN-PIERRE for
White House Press Secretary. The former head of
MoveOn.org, a far-left anti-Israel group, and recent
campaign adviser for Kalamity Harris, Jean-Pierre has
praised lawmakers for boycotting pro-Israel groups
and has accused Israel of “war crimes.” And during
the Democratic primary, she celebrated Democrats who
boycotted the American Israel Public Affairs
Committee (AIPAC)––a lobbying group that advocates
pro-Israel policies to Congress.
ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS,
who is Jewish, for Secretary
of the Department of Homeland Security. Mayorkas
is a board
member of HIAS, which partners with terrorism-financier
Islamic Relief. He has undermined Israeli
repatriation policies regarding illegal immigrants
and signed a letter defending and
praising Jew-basher Linda Sarsour. Mayorkas’
involvement with HIAS contradicts the role of DHS,
which is to protect the safety of Americans.
DENIS McDONOUGH for
Secretary of the Veterans Administration. The former
Chief of Staff for Obama, McDonough
spoke at the anti-Israel J Street convention and
falsely condemned Israel’s “occupation.” As
Obama’s Deputy National Security Advisor, he praised
the imam of a Virginia mosque, knowing that the imam
was a Muslim Brotherhood leader and VP of the
Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), which
directly funds Hamas.
SUSAN RICE for
Domestic Policy Advisor (aka Biden’s Valerie
Jarrett). The serial liar and
inveterate Israel- basher was Obama’s senior
foreign-policy advisor and also John Kerry’s chief
foreign-policy adviser when he ran for President.
Kerry’s idea for dealing with the Middle East was to
appoint not one but two diehard enemies of
Israel––James Baker and Jimmy Carter–as negotiators.
Faced with a firestorm of criticism, Kerry backed
down and blamed his staff, which consisted of Susan
Rice!
WENDY SHERMAN,
who is Jewish, for Deputy Secretary of State.
Sherman negotiated the disastrous Iran deal. An
Amazon reviewer summed up Sherman’s 2018 book as
follows: “A weak
apologia from someone who mishandled every major
negotiation she worked on.” Again, ZOA
spokesmen spell
out Sherman’s threat to Israel of
consequences from the United Nations (aka the
virulently anti-Israel cesspool in NY City) if
Israel did not accept a Palestinian [terror] state;
she praised arch-terrorist Yasir Arafat as “the
leader of the resistance movement” and downplayed
the PLO suicide bombings and other terror attacks on
innocent Israelis that Arafat engineered; on and
on.
Unfortunately, because of space limitations, this is
the short list! But you can see some of Biden’s
other Jew-hating, Israel-loathing appointments here.
This is what Democrats voted for. This is what
Jewish Democrats voted for.
BIDEN’S COURT JEWS
But we love Jews and we love Israel,
Democrats––including Jewish Democrats––exclaim!
After all, they say, Joe’s children married Jews so
he has Jewish grandchildren, and Kalamity Harris is
married to a Jew, and look how many Jews Joe has
appointed so far! All true, but what they fail to
mention is that Joe’s Jews have a particularly
poisonous antipathy to Israel––a condition
unmistakably and accurately identified as
antisemitism!
Make no mistake, Biden’s Court Jews, like Obama’s,
are identical to those of the past––going back
centuries––who financed, supported, licked the boots
of and sold out the Jewish people in order to gain
the personal influence, privileges, wealth,
proximity to power, and protection that the “nobles”
afforded them.
These quislings helped Roman emperors and other
leaders over centuries kill Jews. They helped Hitler
kill Jews. But after their groveling and traitorous
service, they were blamed for economic downturns and
used as scapegoats to explain away the failures of
the evil regimes and leaders they abetted.
Journalist Melanie Phillips once wrote of
Obama that he “is attempting to throw Israel under
the Islamist bus, and he’s getting American Jews to
do his dirty work for him…” Looks suspiciously
identical to what Biden & Co. have already begun
with his appointments of people who clearly hate
Jews and loathe Israel.
Writer Mona Charen once wrote of Obama’s “genocidal
hostility toward Israel.” Is there any difference
today?
MAKING SENSE OF THE NONSENSICAL
Why would people who hate Jews surround themselves
with so many of them? As Don Vito Corleone warned
his son Michael, “Keep your friends close, but your
enemies closer.”
As much as the enemies of Jews hate them, they also
fear them. They can’t figure out how a historically
besieged people—whose population today is about 15
million, as compared to, say, Muslims whose
population is 1.3 billion, or a world of almost
eight billion—have not only managed to survive the
Inquisition, Crusades., pogroms, concentration camps
and pandemics of anti-Semitism, but to flourish and
rise to the top echelons of any community they’ve
ever lived in.
In short, they want the brains of the Jews and also
the ability to blame them when things go wrong!
But don’t these smart Jews know they’re being used?
Yes and no. They’ve studied history, but they think
that the passage of time has made them immune from
mistakes of the past. Of course they’re wrong. Fools
and dupes always get fooled and duped.
Unfortunately, too many Jews over the ages have been
seduced by the hope-and-change rhetoric of the Left,
so yearning are they to be “liked” by the cultures
that have ultimately rejected them.
Today, we can only guess that the
Democrats––including the Jewish Democrats––who voted
for Biden and literally wept for joy at his
inauguration, are simply crazy about everything he
promised, including (this is the very very short
list):
-
High taxes that inevitably lead to massive
unemployment,
-
A decidedly weakened military,
-
Bad-for-America trade deals,
-
Bad-for-Israel policies,
-
The end to energy independence (already
done),
-
The obliteration of women’s sports (already
done).
-
Aha! Abortion… a virtual sacrament of the Left!
Or maybe they simply hated hated hated the highest
employment of blacks and Asians and Hispanics and
women in American history brought about by President
Donald J. Trump.
No matter. History has taught us, as the Jewish
prophet Hosea said: “They who sow the wind, reap the
whirlwind.”
The Biden whirlwind is here. It’s just a matter of
time before all the horror and destruction of his
regime is fully realized––and blamed on the Jews!
Plus
ça change, plus la même chose.
