they can't be too concerned about his lack of allegiance to israel, can they?
They got the word that Rahm Emanuel will be his chief of staff....done deal The late Sherman Skolnick of Chicago called Rahm Emanuel the "Acting Deputy Chief for North America of the Mossad – Israeli Intelligence. Skolnick went on to say that Emanuel's father Benjamin had been "part of the Israeli assassin team that murdered Sweden's Count [Folke] Bernadotte" in 1948. Bernadotte was the envoy of the United Nations in Palestine who sought to find a solution to the UN Partition Plan that gave Palestinian land to Jews from "beyond the pale." Was Skolnick correct? Skolnick does not document his claims so checked into his allegations. "Beyond the pale" would certainly describe where Rahm Emanuel's family came from. His father's family came to Palestine from somewhere in the Ukraine in 1917, according to what Dr. Benjamin M. Emanuel told me the other day. Dr. Emanuel now lives on the appropriately named Locust Road in Wilmette, Illinois. Benjamin, speaking with a thick Israeli accent, told me that his father's name was Ezekiel Auerbach and that his mother's name was Pinina or something like that. He said it meant "pearl" in Hebrew. Asked about his role in the Irgun, Ben told me he had been a "simple soldier." Yes, Ben, but serving as "simple soldier" in a terrorist organization makes you a terrorist. And the fact that you served in a terrorist organization 60 years ago makes no difference. You know, same rules for Nazis and terrorists. Is that not what all those fellows in Guantanamo are being held for?

Rob, Rahm Emmauel's father was not a simple foot soldier and Irgu was not a "liberation" force of native inhabitants in Palestine. Irgun was a Zionist terrorist organization that used violence to expel the native inhabitants - ie. the Palestinians - from their lands so the European Jews could take the land and establish Israel. Furthermore, Rahm's father passed codes to Irgun, that were used for violent ventures. Here' s info with embedded links at the url from Philip Weiss, Jewish American journalist, who is not afraid to publish the truth. www.philipweiss.org/mondo...rrorist-organization.html November 02, 2008 "Rahm Emanuel's Father Was in Jewish Terrorist Organization" I wonder if the Rahm Emanuel story was not leaked to make Jewish voters feel more gemutlich (that's kin, in German/Yiddish, I believe) about Obama. Emanuel's father was apparently in the Irgun, the Zionist movement that used terrorist methods to blow up the King David Hotel in '46 and expel all the Palestinians from Jaffa, and that played a role in the massacre at Deir Yassin. From the NY Times on 3 Emanuel sons: All are the sons of an Israeli father, now a 70-year-old Chicago pediatrician, who passed secret codes for Menachem Begin's underground, Iregun, [I assume this is misspelled] and an American Jewish mother, who worked in the civil rights movement and owned, briefly, a Chicago rock-and-roll club. From the Washington Times in 1993: Rahm Emanuel, a presidential assistant named by his Irgun father for the last Israeli soldier to fall in the 1948 battle for Jerusalem, was designated chief impresario of the Israeli-Palestinian signing on the White House lawn. How does Rahm Emanual feel about dividing Jerusalem, and the right of return? Alas, the Israeli narrative of national liberation (the Nakba, as Palestinians will tell you) is intertwined with the highest reaches of American politics. Douglas Feith's father was in Betar, the youth movement founded by Ze'ev Jabotinksy, the expansionist Zionist. I seek a national discussion of the issue: Are you a Zionist? How does that affect your views on American policy in the Middle East?
