"However, Hagel added, "there is one important given that is not negotiable: a comprehensive solution should not include any compromise regarding Israel's Jewish identity."

Imagine if this were rephrased:

However, Hagel added, "there is one important given that is not negotiable: a comprehensive solution should not include any compromise regarding America's white identity."

That's how easy it is to imagine American politics without Jewish influence.

As Chuck Schumer goes, so goes Chuck Hagel, Manu Raju and Maggie Haberman, POLITICO.com:

When news broke over the weekend that Hagel was poised to get the nomination, senior Democrats made clear that the White House would have to work to unite their conference — namely over Hagel’s positions over Israel. And Republicans made clear that Israel would be a flash point in the confirmation proceedings.

“If there’s one issue that will almost always get unanimous support, or pretty darn close, it’s support for Israel,” said Sen. Mike Johanns, a fellow Nebraska Republican and longtime friend of Hagel’s. “He needs to explain what his own words mean.”

Politico buried this on page 3. As with the recent presidential election debates, it seems unlikely there will be any public "flash point" over the primacy of Israel. The big jews will get their grovelling assurances from Hagel in private. The little jews will get it via relatively down-low notes like Goldberg's.

Does Chuck Hagel Have a ‘Jewish Problem’?, by Jeffrey Goldberg, at Bloomberg:

As if life in Washington wasn’t dispiriting enough, we must now get ready for a bruising fight over whether former Senator Chuck Hagel, President Barack Obama’s nominee as the new secretary of defense, has a ‘Jewish problem.’

Does This Comment Make Chuck Hagel a Philo-Semite?, Jeffrey Goldberg, at The Atlantic:

The former Republican senator from Nebraska, described by conservative Republicans and Jewish critics as "antagonistic" toward Israel and even as a "borderline anti-Semite" wrote in his 2008 book America; Our Next Chapter that any U.S. president is required "to engage actively in the dangerous and politically risky business of peacemaking. We know that a peace settlement will not happen if the parties are left to their own devices."

However, Hagel added, "there is one important given that is not negotiable: a comprehensive solution should not include any compromise regarding Israel's Jewish identity."

Why the Jewish panic over Chuck Hagel | Washington Times Communities, by Jack Engelhard:

Jewish voters went big for Obama for the second straight time – so why the amazement? For secretary of defense you expected Herzl?

Jewish voters are still voting for FDR. We think Roosevelt is still in office. We loved FDR even though he kept the German trains to Auschwitz running and on time.

We produce scientific geniuses like Einstein and everyone listens to Einstein. Few listened to Ze’ev Jabotinsky when, in the 1930s, he implored his brethren to…

“Vacate Europe before Europe vacates you.”

. . .

We remember Balaam’s prophecy about us in the Hebrew Bible, that we are “destined to dwell alone among the nations.”

We remember the ship St. Louis and how its refugees were turned back from port to port, as even FDR turned deaf to the desperate passengers.

When Canada was asked how many Holocaust refugees it would accept the Mackenzie King government responded, “None is too many.”

We remember this is our bones.

We fear anti-Semitism. We know it can happen any time, any place, because it has already happened every time, nearly every place.

This explains why we fear Chuck Hagel even though Chuck Hagel is no anti-Semite (as some have charged). I say this for the record, conditionally. No one merits that label recklessly and I always favor benefit of the doubt. But I also need to explain why we fear his remark when he said, “The Jewish lobby intimidates a lot of people.”

We have heard this before and those who are too young to remember “those days” remember it in their genes, in their DNA.

We have heard this from Pharaoh to Hitler, that we are too powerful -- and we know what comes next.

This isn't fear. It's bullshit. Engelhard could listen to Jabotinsky and be with his own kind in Israel. Instead he chooses to live among people he claims to fear.

Europeans have heard this one-sided guilt-trip from jews for millenia, "We are destined to dwell among your nations and control your governments, you crazy rotten "anti-semites"!" -- what comes next is a brutal bolshevist police state where "anti-semitism" is a capital offense.

It's in their bones, in their DNA.

In Mr. Hagel and the Jews hyper-jew Elliott Abrams gives two hyper-jewish reasons why Hagel cannot be US Secretary of Defense:

1) Hagel once said "let the jews pay" for some facility in Israel.

2) Some number of jews living in Nebraska don't like Hagel.
