Upon hearing of his son's new gig, the father of incoming White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel was quoted in the Israeli newspaper Ma'Ariv saying “Obviously he’ll influence the President to be pro-Israel. Why wouldn’t he? What is he, an Arab? He’s not going to be mopping floors at the White House.”
This has prompted a letter from American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee heads Kareem Shora and former Rep. Mary Rose Oakar, D-Ohio, to the junior Mr. Emanuel, congratulating him and President-elect Obama, saying they are "deeply disappointed by comments made by your father, Mr. Benjamin Emanuel."

Wasn’t Emanuel’s father a member of Haganah?
Irgun, reportedly.
Interesting.
Let’s just imagine if a Republican’s father said this.
“Let’s just imagine if a Republican’s father said this.”
I know. But the media also manage to overlook the millions Emanuel made, his ties to Freddie Mac, and the fact that he came out of the Chicago machine.
“he’s not going to be mopping floors at the white house...”
one wonders if he’s the one who taught his son to say that republicans should go f&^k themselves.
(seems that the guy who mops floors at the white house is probably more respectable than he and his macho son.)
IMHO
Ex Rep. Rose Mary Oakar was a PLO prostitute for decades. She propagandized for them and defended them in Congress and at PLO front organizations (PHRC).
She is a terrorist-supporter and should be in jail for it.
AADC is just another form of the old PLO front, the Palestine Human Rights Campaign (Zogby brothers, 1977-78), both organizations of which were loaded with communists (CPUSA), black extremists, and arabists and terrorism supporters.
Nuff said!
LOL
We don’t have to imagine; Mel Gibson has been harrassed by the media for things his father has said.
