Jew-Hater for Defense?

37

According to NR (below), Obama is considering Chuck Hagel to replace Panetta at the DoD. Who is Chuck Hagel? He is one of the many, many antisemites that Barack Obama has gathered around himself. I profiled many of them in my book The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War On America, including Hagel:

Like Brzezinski,
[Rosa] Brooks also indulged in the familiar anti-Semite’s complaint: that a few simple
criticisms of Israel got one slapped with accusations of…anti-Semitism.
(Neither, of course, seemed inclined to own up to how they had prejudged the
case and stacked the deck against Israel.) Brooks enunciated this complaint in
this way in 2006: “Publish something sharply critical of Israeli government
policies and you’ll find out. If you’re lucky, you’ll merely discover that
you’ve been uninvited to some dinner parties. If you’re less lucky, you’ll be
the subject of an all-out attack by neoconservative pundits and accused of
rabid anti-Semitism.”[i]

 Chuck Hagel

Story continues below advertisement

Former Senator
Chuck Hagel (R-NE) would probably have agreed with Brooks. According to the Jerusalem Post, he was “one of a handful
of senators who frequently didn’t sign AIPAC-backed letters related to Israel
and the peace process during his time in the Senate and opposed additional
sanctions on Iran.”

Apparently, like
Brooks, he has faced criticism for these anti-Israel stances – and has
complained that “the Jewish lobby intimidates a lot of people.”[ii]

Yet Hagel himself
doesn’t seem to have been particularly intimidated. In the Senate he amassed a
significant track record as one of a hardline hater of Israel who would not
affix his name even to the most innocuous pro-Israel initiative. When all but
four Senators signed a pro-Israel statement in 2000, Hagel was one of the
holdouts. The next year, he was again among the few Senators – eleven this time
– who refused to add their names to a statement urging George W. Bush not to
meet with Yaser Arafat as long as the Palestinian groups under his control
continued to pursue violence against Israel. In 2005, Hagel, along with 26
other senators, opposed a call to the Palestinian Authority to disqualify
terror groups from participating in elections. And when twelve senators wrote
to the European Union in 2006 asking that the EU join the U.S. in classifying
Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, Hagel was once again one of the few.[iii]

 Hagel wasn’t intimidated, and Barack
Hussein Obama wasn’t either. In late October 2009 he appointed Hagel co-chair
of his Intelligence Advisory Board.[iv] And in a
particularly piquant symbolic move, the appointment was announced at J Street’s
first annual conference – by Steve Clemons of George Soros’s New America
Foundation.[v]

And the effect of
all this showed in his policies, beginning almost immediately when he took
office.

It bodes ill for
Jews just how comfortable and at ease Obama obviously is with proud
anti-Semites and Israel haters. Obama has appointed all these people, but has
concealed their true natures.

Hagel for Defense? By Eliana Johnson National Review, December 13

 

Former Nebraska senator Chuck Hagel

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 to the Democratic party over the past four years.

On November 1, just five days before this fall’s election, Hagel flew
to Omaha, Neb., where he endorsed Democrat Bob Kerrey over Republican
Deb Fischer in their narrowing Senate race. “There are a number of Hagel
loyalists for whom that was the straw that broke the camel’s back,”
says Sam Fischer, a Nebraska Republican operative (Sam is Deb Fischer’s
nephew).

“He doesn’t do much or have much connection with Nebraska anymore,” says another prominent Republican operative in
the state. In fact, Hagel, now a Virginia resident and a professor at
Georgetown University, is no longer registered to vote in his home
state. Nebraska Republican party chairman Mark Fahleson says he
considers Hagel’s endorsement “an attempt to curry favor with the Obama
administration.” He points out that Hagel, on the morning he flew to
Omaha to throw his weight behind Kerrey, had a phone conversation with Vice President Joe Biden. “We have no idea what they talked about,” Fahleson says suggestively….

Since 2009, Hagel has served as co-chairman of Obama’s Presidential
Intelligence Advisory Board, which offers the president feedback on U.S.
intelligence operations. While Hagel’s courtship of the Obama
administration seems to be paying off, sources tell NRO that his
nomination would signal the direction of the administration’s foreign
policy, particularly with regard to Iran. Hagel has promoted
unconditional engagement with the regime since 2001, and he voted
against designating Iran’s Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist
organization. “This is someone who will be extremely skeptical of the
idea that, if push comes to shove, we should use military force against
Iran,” a senior congressional aide says. “Fairly or not,” he says, “if
Senator Hagel is nominated by the president to be secretary of defense,
it will be broadly viewed as a signal that the United States is not
going to use military force to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons.”

You might be an okay person if you did.. Yes, Muslims do wrong things, but how is this something to brush over, to defend? Try it.
Muhammed Salayme, dead on his 17th birthday, shot six times, forbade medical treatment by the IDF. FACT. Historical revisionists, give it a shot, they will fail.

I had no clue Chuck Hagel was this bad. Shame on him. He’s a disgrace. He stuck his neck out to support terrorists like the PA and Hezbollah. What an asshole.

Hagel, being from Nebraska, it seems, is just naive and land-locked enough to never have fully apprehended the true subliminal reality of Israel’s tenuous and essential existence in our dangerous and depraved world.

I am so sorry that you have to put up with this. It saddens me that Israel has to be surrounded by enemies and face a luke-cold (if I can coin a phrase) reception from the USA. If Obama selects someone I know I don’t even have to look into that person’s background to know that they really suck. He makes it that easy.

he took a fake gun which looks like a real gun and assaulted another IDF soldier.
no wonder he was shot.

Zeid, after 9-11 and seeing “Palestinians” rejoicing over the attacks, I don’ give a rat’s rosy red rectum how many muslims are killed. So the little bastard didn’t get to be a suicide bomber or slit the throats of sleeping Jewish babies. I think that is a good thing. As far as I’m concerned, a dead muslim is a good muslim. I just wish there were more good muslims. Give Mizrahi a medal.

Pamela,
One day you will simply wake up from your persecuted slumber and this ‘nightmare’ you think you live in will disappear.
It’ll be ok, sweetheart, don’t worry. Just breathe…
Your constant paranoia is unsettling.
Your hatred is beyond belief.
And you have the temerity to demonise those of the Muslim faith?
You’re deluded, small minded, bigoted, xenophobic and racist.
The hate you spew forth is an indictment on you, on right thinking Israelis and on world Jewry as a whole. I know you don’t represent even a tiny fraction of those who you say you represent.
It’s obvious to everyone with an IQ above room temperature.
You really need a new hobby, sister.

I’m not denying it, it’s war, they should rejoice. I’m saying this as an American, who could have been there.
And, what the fuck are you talking about? What do ancient times have to do with today, in terms of determining who gets what? I’m pretty sure the Sumerians invented agriculture, and that was modern day Iraq, they’re not claiming they own the rights to it, pretty sure.
I’m not going to get too angry about this, Choi, D is doing a very good job in disproving you people.

@Zeid and D. Anyone who cannot debate with facts and without making it personal- with ad hominem attacks against those taking a different stand- is not smart. No matter how much they may speak of themselves as superior or feel they are smarter. If an opposing view bothers you two so much that you vent such hatred … why bother? Find a place to put your comments, where you can at least speak with civilty!

I am more than happy to debate with ‘facts’ but are they YOUR facts, or the TRUE facts?
Are you going to turn to the bible as your main point of reference?
Are you going to say Palestinians are a made-up people?
Are you going to tell me Israel needs to starve, rape, land-grab and generally behave like an apartheid state because she is under threat?
Please help me.
