BARACK'S DADDY VERSUS RAHM'S DADDY

We conservative/GOP Jews have been asked by habitually Democrat-voting liberal Jews to ignore the fact that Barack's father was a Muslim, that his step-father was a Muslim, that Obama was sent to a Muslim school - where he memorized Muslim prayers, and we are told we must ignore the fact that his preacher for 20 years is a virulent anti-Zionist and overtly pro-Palestinian, like Obama's long-time friend Rashid Khalidi - who actually worked for Arafat before Oslo.

They say we should accept that Obama is pro-Israel, and we should ignore his pedigree and his associations.

Yet, we are told that Rahm Emanuel is proof that Obama is good for Israel because Rahm's father was in the Irgun and Rahm is a Zionist.

Rahm's father is either as irrelevant as Barack's, or Barack's are not irrelevant.

I argue that the parentage of BOTH is relevant.

And I argue that Rahm got the COS job because he is deeply connected to the utterly corrupt Chicago Machine - and not because he is Jewish or a Zionist.

ALSO: Rahm's Jewishness and Zionism gives Obama cover. This would make Rahm into a Judenrat should Obama do what I fear he will do: put the squeeze on Israel to appease its enemies.

BESIDES: The COS doesn't make policy; he's an enforcer - a bag man if you will.

All Obama's selection of Rahm reveals is that Obama is a corrupt Chicago politician FIRST.

Then, an anti-Zionist.

Remember: there are many Jewish politicians INSIDE of Israel who are every bit as leftist and every bit as corrupt as Rahm.

So... as a Zionist I am not placated one iota by the pick.
