Rahm Emanuel was born in Americ...FROM CAROL HERMAN<br /><br />Rahm Emanuel was born in America. So, let's go back to his dad, Benjamin. Benjamin was born in Jerusalem. And, in 1936, his older brother, Emanuel, was killed by an arab. To honor his older brother, Benjamin dropped his family name (Auerbach), and tacked on EMANUEL. His brother's name. He also joined the Irgun. And, no. He was not a fan of Ben Gurion's. <br /><br />If anything, in 1947, Benjamin decided to become a physician. And, culled a seat in Chicago. Where he went to study. And, became a pediatrician.<br /><br />In Chicago, Benjamin met his wife, Marsha. Her father had been a big "macher" in the union. And, she and Benjamin had three sons. Rahm is the middle kid.<br /><br />His older brother went to Harvard. And, is an aclaimed physician. And, his younger brother went to hollywood, where he became a famous agent. <br /><br />Where do you see Israel in this picture? I'll tell you what I see. An American family, where all the sons were competitive. And, all were brought up, from the cradle, to be democrats.<br /><br />Rahm Emanuel was in Congress; elected to a HOUSE seat, back in 2004. In 2005, Pelosi went to him and asked him to head up the democratic congressional committee. Why? Because she no longer wanted to be in the minority. She wanted the democrats to win back majority status.<br /><br />Rahm Emanuel did this, to a lot of screaming from the democratic left. But Pelosi took care of his back! The first time out for Rahm Emanuel's team, the democrats WON Congress back, after the GOP lost their footing.<br /><br />Oh, by the way, Rahm Emanuel PICKED Kirsten Gillibrand, to run in an obscure HOUSE race, near Albany, New York, in what had been a conservative republican district. She won. And, when Hillary left her senate seat, Gillibrand received this appointment with the blessings of Chuck Schumer.<br /><br />If Obama holds onto his popularity, you're going to have to deal with this. (And, no, Obama is NOT Jimmy Carter!) <br /><br />Yes, Rahm Emanuel, I think, went to Israel to serve in the IDF. IF SO? He volunteered. Again, keeping in mind his sympathies would be towards the left in politics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15423117.post-53274437279443538002009-05-06T16:29:00.000+03:002009-05-06T16:29:00.000+03:00Benny Begin: Lost in Action?Benny Begin: Lost in Action?JoeSettlernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15423117.post-74336049432622687062009-05-06T15:41:00.000+03:002009-05-06T15:41:00.000+03:00speaking of children of former Irgunists whatever ...speaking of children of former Irgunists whatever happened to Benny Begin and all the excitement over him returning to Likud?

So reported Channel One’s Mabat TV news report. <br /><br />MK Yaakov Katz, chairman of the Ichud Leumi (National Union) party, says the veiled threat by Emanuel should be rebuffed and exposed for what it is: “He is basically telling Israel to commit suicide in exchange for American consent to consider dealing with the Iranian threat to the world.”<br /><br />“What Emanuel is saying,” Katz told Arutz-7’s Hebrew newsmagazine, “is that in order for the U.S. to agree to act against the nuclear program that threatens not only Israel, but entire other nations around the world, the price is that Israel should commit suicide - i.e., we must agree to a two-state solution that will see Hamas threatening us with its missiles not only from Gaza, as it is now, but from the very heart of Israel as well, in Judea and Samaria.”<br /><br />“In other words,” Katz continued, “we have to bring ourselves to the brink of extinction by allowing Hamastan into Judea and Samaria. And this is the idea of a Jew, Rahm Emanuel – a Jew whose father fought in the Etzel (Irgun) against the British for the future of the State of Israel, but whose son, born in America, identifies with the most left-wing opinions, whose significance is the destruction of the State of Israel. I think this has to be stated very clearly.” <br /><br />Katz noted that what is happening in Pakistan right now is proof that Israel cannot even consider “doing business” with its Muslim enemies.<br /><br />“The Pakistani government made many concessions to the Taliban/Al Qaeda, giving them Islamic courts and allowing them control over certain areas, hoping to thus curry favor with them," Katz said. "But the result was that the Taliban is now threatening the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, and the fear is that the terrorists will gain access to Pakistan’s nuclear weapons. The government there finally realized that it has no choice but to make war against them.<br /><br />"We do not want to find ourselves with Tel Aviv and all of Israel’s cities under the same threat," Katz said, "and therefore we cannot entertain the type of solution that Emanuel wishes to force upon us – against the will of the people as democratically expressed in our recent elections.”<br /><br />US Concern Over Pakistan<br />President Obama has said that the Pakistani government is "very fragile," and his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton has gone on record as saying that Pakistan was "basically abdicating" to the Taliban.<br /><br />Obama will meet with Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari in Washington this week against the backdrop of concern over the vulnerability of Pakistan's nuclear arsenal. The New York Times recently published a report that the Obama Administration is worried that Taliban Muslims might snatch an atomic weapon in transport or have sympathizers infiltrate laboratories or fuel-production facilities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15423117.post-36038707578854503972009-05-05T11:51:00.000+03:002009-05-05T11:51:00.000+03:00He was encouraged to take ballet lessons as a boy,...He was encouraged to take ballet lessons as a boy, and he excelled at it so much, he eventually won a scholarship to the Joffrey Ballet.
