NU’s Katz reminds Emanuel he’s Jewish:

Katz claims that in a private meeting with the unnamed leader, Emanuel said, “In the next four years, there will be a peace agreement with the Palestinians on the basis of two states for two peoples, and it does not matter to us who is the prime minister.”

Rahm Emanuel and his brothers attended summer camp in Israel. Emanuel and his wife, Amy Rule, are members of Anshe Sholom B’nai Israel, a modern Orthodox congregation in Chicago. They have a son and two daughters; the older two attend the same Conservative day school Emanuel himself attended as a child.

What is Esther’s claim to fame?

As a result of Esther’s intervention and influence, Mizrahi Jews lived in the Persian Empire for 2400 years thereafter. Esther’s husband Ahasuerus followed in the footsteps of Cyrus the Great, in showing mercy to the Jews of Persia: Cyrus had decreed an end to the Babylonian captivity of the Jews upon his conquest of Babylon in 539 BC.

Thus we see why it was so important that Charles Freeman not be permitted to exercise any intervention or influence several steps farther down the chain of command.

Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz recently instructed ministry officials to develop a comprehensive plan for deporting 100,000 illegal foreign workers from Israel within a year.

“We must fight such employers, must look for them, publish their names, indict them – and do it by this year! It is inconceivable that, of the 400,000 foreign workers in Israel, 100,000 of them are illegal and meanwhile unemployment in Israel stands at over 200,000 persons,” the new minister said.

The government and media in israel don’t care much about what’s best for foreigners. And they call them “illegal”, not “undocumented”.

Where is the pro-immigrant apologia we in the West are so accustomed to hearing? The “hard-working immigrants looking for a better life”, “doing jobs israelis won’t do”, in a “nation of immigrants”. And where’s the demonization of the “nativists”, “xenophobes”, “fascists”, and “racists” who support deportation?

Consider the numbers as well. Israel deporting 100000 illegals out of a total population of 7.37M is equivalent to the US, with a total population of some 303M, deporting 4.1M illegals. The 12-30M illegals in the US represent three to seven times as many as israel has, but for reasons only jews can explain the US is supposed to celebrate and grant amnesty to our illegals by passover while undeported illegals in israel represent “an outrage”.

This certainly constitutes “Progress By Pesach” (Passover).

Oh yeah, they’re quoting the delusional 12 million illegal “immigrant” number, AND they plan to really, truly secure the border THIS time.

Let’s hope Charlie Brown changes his strategy: Sorry about kicking you, Lucy. I “slipped”.

On Thursday, when he hosts a Seder at the White House, Obama will not only be fulfilling that hope shared during his campaign, he will also become the first sitting president to attend, let alone host, the Jewish ritual feast at the executive mansion.

“To break Matzo, so to speak, in the official White House dining room is historic,” said William Daroff, the director of the Washington office ofUnited Jewish Community.

More change.

In the 1920’s the nationless Palestinians outnumbered the Jewish population 5:1. Then immigration increased Jewish numbers prior to the 1947 partition to
one third of the population.

Then the “war” started – and has never ended for the palestinians.

Yet despite the immigration, occupation and expulsion – Palestinians still outnumber Jewish populations regionally and they are not entitled to their own state – “a terrible inconvenience” – why?

Because as long as they are at “war” – the state of Isreal can maintain the status quo -occupation, with no need for reconstruction and pesky things like human rights – despite the mandate of the people.

The US had its civil war, its reconstruction and we are struggling through its tribal aftermath – the State of Isreal & Palestinians seem content with civil war.
