Obama's Court Jews Raise the Dual Loyalty Canard
American Thinker ^ | 3-3-15 | Jonathan Keiler

Posted on 03/04/2015 4:31:42 PM PST by SJackson

Accusations of dual loyalty against Jews used to be something one expected to hear, if at all in this country, from the extreme right. But modern conservatives generally strongly support Israel and rarely display anti-Semitic tendencies. On the other hand, the far left has been anti-Israel for decades, and hostility to the Jewish state -- often occulted by philo-Israel bromides -- is increasingly becoming a mainstream sentiment within the Democratic Party. Some leftist Jews have raised the issue before, but now many more have recklessly raised the canard as a means to support President Obama’s opposition to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s forthcoming address to Congress.

Columnist Richard Cohen led the way declaring several weeks ago “…do not insult my president!” though Cohen failed to identify an actual Netanyahu insult. On the other hand Obama has directly and indirectly insulted the Israeli Prime Minister on several occasions. Cohen, wearing his shiniest patriot hat, also reaffirmed his “ardent” support for Israel, but also reminded readers that he was American too. Of course, Cohen’s “ardent” support for Israel is tempered by all manner of conditions, contingencies and reservations to the extent that Cohen has written that the creation of the Jewish state itself was a mistake.

Shortly afterward, former American ambassador to Israel Dan Kurtzer directly attacked Israeli ambassador Ron Dermer (formerly an American citizen and Republican official) by denying that Dermer really was an ambassador at all, but rather still a “political operative” operating “behind the back of a friendly country’s administration.”

More accurately it's not just his court Jews dancing around antisemitic canards, rather his courtiers. The mindset begins at the top

Since labels are being thrown around, maybe some of these “court Jews” would have liked being kapos.

I don’t blame American Jews for having conflicted loyalties - it’s perfectly understandable.

But to call it a “canard”, a fancy word for a lie - that’s not right. Anybody who spends any time living among American Jews knows perfectly well that most of them have strong loyalty to America AND to Israel, and anybody who thinks about it in more than the most simplistic way understands that, at least in theory, that these two loyalties do not naturally match up perfectly.

Some of them would just LOVE being Kapos. And unfortunately they’d be very good at guarding and murdering concentration camp victims. And they’d enjoy it thoroughly. All the preliminaries and preparations going on now must frustrate them terribly. They’d like nothing better than if obama would only get it all going right away They may not have a very long wait ?

The problem with “Obama’s court Jews” is dual disloyalty.

I call leftist, Israel-hating Jews, “Oven-Ready Jews”.

It has been a PR coup of the left that any sane person thinks that National Socialists are "right" or have anything to do with American conservatives.

These OBAMA Jews will rue the day that they have forsaken Israel. There will come a time, and I think in the near future that these Jews will be like the Jews that voted for Adolph Hitler. They became fuel for Hitler’s ovens. These OBAMA Jews will look back at OBAMA, when he throws them under the bus, and say; “WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO DESERVE THIS”. By the way, the German Jews asked the same question while they were being led to the crematorium.

Speaking of the Kapos, ever wonder if any of their like are operating as court stooges in the moslem countries today?

Disloyal to their religion, disloyal to the welfare and integrity of the USA. Party uber alles.

I think that should read “Court Jesters”.

What you state about the American Jews in your circle but the opposite is the case in mine.

The Jews I'm close to, have next to no interest in either Israel's wellbeing or America's vow of protection of Israel.

They see themselves as American period! Their families were from Europe and had no connection to persecution during WWII, for their ancestors came to the U.S. long before Hitler.

They are also non-practicing religious Jews though they maintain membership in the local very affluent Reform Temple.

I think they are actually ashamed of persecuted immigrants after WWII and know they especially do not associate with "Eastern European Jews" from Ukraine, Russia, etc.

After returning from my first trip to Israel and the Holy Land, I had picked up a lovely gift in Jerusalem written in Hebrew.

The woman was polite in receiving it but I could tell it was not something she was desirous of receiving.

She did mention that she had "no interest in visiting Israel - ever!"

Many Americans like myself are loyal to our nation and the nations of our allies concerning defense. Apparently, some politicos are more loyal to our enemies and trying to project their flaw on the rest of us.

Self Haters are not really that funny (that includes Jon Stewart). They are the facilitators for the Nazis and the Commies in their attempts to have a second holocaust.

Some Jews just love the biggest canard, which is Obama government loyalty. Indeed, we might say they have a triple or unique loyalty: they simply love government above everything else.
