"White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel arrived in Israel over the weekend for a private visit, during which his son will celebrate his bar-mitzvah at the Western Wall.

Emanuel vacationed in Eilat on Friday before heading back to his Jerusalem hotel, where he will be staying in the coming days.

The White House chief of staff may hold talks with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, although a meeting has yet to be scheduled.

Officials in Jerusalem have hinted that Emanuel is among those responsible for US President Barack Obama's hard-line policy towards Israel."

1. I don't have much use for Rahm

But if he meets with NuttyYahoo, I sincerely hope he punches that fucking genocidal lunatic in the nose.

2. Things are getting tense over there

Maybe he'll be drafted back into their armed services.

3. Hope he and his family are

okay over there and the US needs a hardline with Bebe.

4. good news, the u.s. needs to whip israel into line

and emanuel is good at that sort of thing, apparently.

his personal and familial zionist bona fides won't do him any harm either, he can't credibly be accused of being anti israel

6. Can they keep him?

[undeterred]

15. We would have to present him as some kind of gift.

7. Israeli authories - please detain the man from returning to the United States

Thank you,

a citizen of the United States.

8. Here's hoping he stays safe. Israel's still a pretty dangerous place to be.

9. There was an article posted here the other day

that said some members of the Israeli extreme right were actually threatening to attack Rahm and his family at his son's Bar Mitzvah.

Their reason? They think he's "anti Israel". :eyes:

14. Uh oh. What did I miss?

I hate it when my posts get a rude response and its gone before I can even read it. :evilgrin:

16. I honestly don't remember.....It was really juvenile, I know that....

I guess I'm extra snarkoleptic today.....

WAIT!!! NOW I REMEMBER!!!

HE said that Rahm was a zionist infiltrator or some equally stupid bullshit.

[Sebastian Doyle]

17. A Zionist infiltrator who is anti-Israel?

Now that's a Hell of a trick. I might actually have to respect Rahm if he could pull that off.

13. Laughable charade
