Rahm Emanuel: US-Israel Relationship 'Rock Solid'
Arutz Sheva ^ | 10/12/11 | Chana Yaar

Posted on 12/10/2011 4:10:41 PM PST by Eleutheria5

Former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, currently mayor of Chicago, says the bond between the United States and Israel is "rock solid."

In a televised interview with journalist Dana Weiss on "Meet the Press" at the Saban Forum in Washington D.C. over the weekend, Emanuel was emphatic that President Barack Obama has been "the best president ever for Israel."

However, he said, "Regardless of who's president or who's prime minister at any given time, the bond between the United States and Israel is rock solid, and that's what's important to know."

That, he added, is the "personal view" that Obama has expressed publicly as well as privately, Emanuel said, and "that's how he views it."

The former chief of staff was adamant that "across the waterfront of issues, from Iran to the peace process to dealing with region, to its national security, to its isolation around the world, this has been the best president ever for Israel. You've gotta go to the video, and watch the score," Emanuel said.

"I understand the relationship got off the a rocky start," he admitted, but insisted that "even the prime minister... has stated that. And the defense minister has said it. Not just in lip service -- and they're not doing kareoke singing of it. They have said that."

Mr. Lieberman, can we sever diplomatic relations with Chicago? They're part of the US, but they're also on a different planet.

He was elected?! WTF

Rahm would kill his own mom for the gold in her teeth.

Then he'd want our pity - being an orphan and all...

How did he even qualify to serve as mayor in Chicago?! His furniture was in the basement. His house was listed with a broker. Show me his residence certificate. Not just the short form; the long form. Are Chicagoans really so stupid as to elect him?!

He’s shameless. A sociopath, likely.

“15% of us know our enemies.”

Leave. Let it be 100% communists first and Jews third. Everyone else get out. Carl Sandburg, if he lived today, would take one look at the new mayor and burn his poem.

Thanks Eleutheria5.
Emanuel, currently mayor of Chicago... was emphatic that President Barack Obama has been "the best president ever for Israel."
Everyone already knows this is a lie, but like his Nazi antecedents, this JINO repeats the big lie.

Neither Dick Obama nor Rahm Emmanuel has yet opened a speech with the following words. “We love Israel and its people, those damn racists who should have been taken out by the Nazis. Yes, they are truly our best friends even though they are subhuman apes nowhere near as noble as the holy people of Palestine. The Hebrews are God’s people and always will be. We hope someone can send them all to God some day when they are vaporized by nuclear weapons. Or maybe our best allies in the Middle East can be driven into the ocean and drowned.”

That would be honesty. Can’t have that. It’s the best policy, unless you’re a venal little troll who wants to find a way to tacitly assist genocide.
