President Hussein Obama appoints Israeli Zionist as "Chief of Staff" (+ videó)
Rahm Emanuel, born in Israel and with deep Zionist roots, has been appointed White House Chief of Staff by President elect Barack Hussein Obama. Rahm Emanuel is said to hold dual US/Israel citizenship and his father Benjamin M. Emanuel was a member of the Zionist Irgun terrorist organization responsible for the bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946.
Irgun was also involved in the Deir Yassin Massacre along with the Stern Gang in 1948. The Deir Yassin Massacre resulted in the murder of 254 peaceful Palestinian villagers, over half of them women and children. See a Deir Yassin Massacre Documentary below.
Rahm Emanuel spends a lot of time in Tel Aviv and was a special Israeli Defense Forces operative during the 1991 Gulf War. He had undisclosed assignments at an army base in northern Israel.
In an interview today with the Israeli newspaper Ma'ariv, Rahm's father, Benjamin Emanuel, said he was convinced that his son's appointment would be good for Israel. "Obviously he will influence the president to be pro-Israel," he was quoted as saying. "Why wouldn't he be? What is he, an Arab? He's not going to clean the floors of the White House." The Ma'ariv article also quoted Benjamin Emanuel as saying that his son spends most summers visiting in Tel Aviv, and that he speaks Hebrew.
Also today, the Jerusalem Post reports that the "Israeli Iron Lady" Tzipi Livni has already sent orders to President Obama to not to talk with Iran just yet. "We need to fight extremism," Livni said as she stood next to outgoing US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice at a joint press conference in the home of the American ambassador to Israel.. "We need to continue the pressure on Iran and I believe that the idea of continuing the pressure comes with more intense and effective sanctions on the Iranians."
We are getting a clearer picture now who might be pulling the strings on Obama.
