PHOTO LINK BELOW: White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel lit the National Menorah in front of the White House Sunday evening in celebration of Chanukah. The ceremony marked the 30th anniversary of the first National Menorah lighting in 1979 attended by then-U.S. President Jimmy Carter.
Emanuel, the son of Zionist freedom fighter Binyamin Emanuel of the pre-state Irgun militia, who defines himself as an observant Jew, has been seen as instrumental in pressuring the State of Israel into concessions during both the current Barack Obama administration as well as the Bill Clinton administration, where he directed the details of the Rose Garden ceremony for the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993.

Also, his father is Avi-Rahm. Think about it.
‘defines himself as an “observant” Jew’ – what is he observing? – his pal obama pressuring the spineless Israeli government into anti-Jewish, dangerous concessions.
He’s nothing but obama’s “court Jew” allowing obama to hurt Israel behind the guise of “look, how could i be an anti-semite when my chief of staff is a Jew?”
HaSh-m yirachaiym…
Why do we have a national menorah??
Hey, he lit a menorah after all.
May the light penetrate and make a positive, transformative roshem!
