"Ins'Allah!": Obama Chanukah Party Attacks Islamophobia, Calls for "Justice" for Palestinians "I stand here to light these lights to say no the darkness of Islamophobia" December 10, 2015 Daniel Greenfield
Obama's Chanukah parties have had issues in the past. But this time it teetered over into full-blown violently offensive territory. Obama's own remarks were boilerplate inoffensive stuff. Israel's President Rivlin, a political hack who desperately sucks up to the media, was equally insipid.
But the White House chose Susan Talve to light the Menorah. Talve is a member of the anti-Israel group T'ruah which is currently promoting assorted "soft BDS" programs. She's also a Ferguson activist. Her behavior was deeply insulting to the religious Jewish community and made it clear that the White House was determined to hijack even a Chanukah party to promote an anti-Jewish agenda.
So the general conviviality of the Chanukah party was disrupted by a crazed rant from Susan Talve in which she seemed determined to jam as many leftist talking points as possible in her limited time. Instead of talking about Chanukah, Talve blathered on about getting, "guns off our streets" and to "clean up the fires of toxic nuclear waste".
Talve screeched, "I stand here with my fierce family of clergy and black lives matter activists who took to the streets of Ferguson".
Having celebrated the race riots which destroyed a community, she pivoted to Syrian Muslim migrants. Chanukah is a celebration of the Maccabees defeating a Syrian occupation, but Talve may not even know that. Radical clergy tend to be light on the religion and heavy on the social justice.
Instead she rambled on about how the "gates of this nation would stay open for all immigrants and all refugees".
Then, not satisfied with having made a disgrace of the Chanukah ceremony, Susan Talve declared, "I stand here to light these lights to say no the darkness of Islamophobia and Homophobia and Transphobia."
Talve babbled about insuring "justice for Palestinians" and began gleefully chanting, "Ins'Allah, Ins'Allah". Or "Allah Willing".
I don't recall Susan Talve mentioning G-d or a word of Jewish scripture. Indeed she spent more time talking about Muslims than about anything in Judaism. And yet that's typical for Social justice clergy who have no organic ties to Judaism.
It's bad enough that Obama insists on pursuing anti-Israel policies, but the Susan Talve appearance was just gratuitously insulting to the Jewish community.

What the heck does that have to do with Chanuka? Isn’t that like totally Jewish?
Oy veh.
Is Obama tired of living in the closet as a Christian? Everything he does points to his support, knowledge and love of Islam. Is this his way of announcing what religion he really is?
Did the same thing at a Christian prayer breakfast.

I was interested enough in this to do a little outside reading on Rabbi Susan Talve. Now I’m a little confused. A Palestinian blog earlier this month ripped her for being an advocate of “Israeli apartheid.” She had representatives from AIPAC visit her synagogue. Imagine a rabbi doing that. Anyway, it looks like the alliance between Black Lives Matter and the Palestianians has caused the Rabbi to do some tap-dancing. Or she’s a nut. I guess that’s what happens to a person when he or she gets involved in the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is the Left.
I really think when Fredo Toonces Dogeater leaves office he will finally admit that he is mudslime. For as much as to get those groovy petro dollars for his library and “charitable foundation “
