Anti-Israel former Senator, Chuck Hagel, was Obama’s preferred pick for Director of National Intelligence
Former Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel and Barack Obama have been close for years. Hagel campaigned for Obama.Hagel has also appeared before numerous Arab-American groups to castigate Israel. Hagel has castigated the so-called Israel Lobby in America. He has soft-pedaled the threat from Iran.Hagel’s animus for Israel is a matter of record.I have written about Hagel and Israel numerous times.

I don’t know why Hagel rejected the position. I have speculated in the past that he may be appointed as Secretary of Defense one day (he is a Vietnam vet). Maybe he thought after Chas Freeman went through the grinder , partly because of his anti-Israel bias, he took a pass.One more sign, as if any more were needed, that Barack Obama has an agenda and it is not one that is helpful or supportive of our friends.

http://www.nationalreview.com/blogs/print/335499 Republican Chuck Hagel, a former Nebraska senator, is supposedly on the short list to succeed Secretary Leon Panetta at the Department of Defense, and he is reportedly being vetted by the Obama administration. This should be no surprise: Hagel has been putting himself in position for a top cabinet post and has warmed noticeably […]

One of its provisions would permit government law enforcement authorities to detain terror suspects without trial and thus eviscerate the Fourth […]

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/turn-left-at-hollywood-and-vine Reading Ben Shapiro’s Front Page article, “Hollywood Hates Corporations, LovesCorporate Cash” (December 5th) caused me to reflect again on the esthetic, political, and moral gulf between the films of yesteryear and of today. What underscored the reflection was a recent watching of Director/Producer Sam Wood’s For Whom the Bell Tolls, one of my favorite […]

A new video has gone up.

“Rivals to Zionism” is now available.

You can see it directly via the following link:

http://zionism101.org/NewestVideo.aspx

Or log in at www.zionism101.org

“Rivals to Zionism” describes the ideas that competed with Zionism for the Jewish people’s attention. These ideas had their own powerful appeal.

As a leader of the Jewish Bund said, explaining his opposition to Zionism:

“The answer is simple: because we are socialists … and between the Zionist activity and the Socialist there is a basic deep chasm and across that chasm there is no bridge.”

We encourage you to share information about “Zionism 101” with your friends, family, and co-workers, plus anyone else who is interested in learning about the most important development in modern Jewish history.

If you haven’t already, please watch our completed video series on the founding fathers and origins of Zionism.

We welcome questions and comments.

WASHINGTON, December 12, 2012 – Irving Berlin wrote White Christmas, the most popular Christmas song of all time. Berlin came from Russia. His original name was Israel Beilin.

Emma Lazarus wrote the sonnet The New Colossus that welcomes refugees seeking shelter: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” This is now enshrined in the Statue of Liberty, and remains a beacon to the world. Emma Lazarus was the daughter of Moses and Esther Lazarus.

Biblical Moses, in marble, stands throughout Washington’s government buildings as the model of justice, righteousness and freedom. From Moses in the flesh we have the call from Leviticus that tolls forth from our Liberty Bell: “Proclaim liberty throughout the LAND unto all the inhabitants thereof.”

The Jewish influence upon America is indelible. Upon this good American earth Jews and Christians live in harmony as in few other places. Throughout the generations, Jews overseas packed their bags as swiftly as did Christians to escape prejudice, intolerance and persecution. In so many places outside America it is best to keep silent lest you be overheard and denounced.

This place, America, is the House of Refuge.

The Puritans fled discrimination to embark upon an Exodus of their own. They viewed the Israelites as ancestors. King James I was their Pharaoh. The Atlantic Ocean was their Red Sea. They landed upon this, their New Canaan. Washington was their Moses. John Adams was their Joshua.
