Until recently the left was calling Trump a Nazi. But it's the left that backs the extermination of the Jews. And Obama and Kerry's campaign has drawn condemnation from the Simon Wiesenthal Center, which was dedicated to fighting Nazis. Rabbi Hier of the Wiesenthal Center will also be the Rabbi representing the Jewish community as Trump's inauguration.
The Wiesenthal Center has listed the UN resolution as the Top anti-Semitic incident of the year and blasted Obama's complicity in it.
The latest diplomatic ambush of Israel was only made possible by the US’ historic reversal of its decades-long Mideast policy of vetoing one-sided anti-Israel initiatives at the United Nations Security Council.
President Obama's ambassador's “abstention” last week at the United Nations was actually an endorsement of an onerous one-sided resolution that among other items, defines Judaism’s holiest site as “occupied Palestinian territory” and encourages nations to undertake the boycott of goods made by Jews in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. That's why we've named it our top anti-Semitic incident of 2016.
Make no mistake. This new resolution—developed with the Obama administration’s knowledge and some say with its collusion -- is much worse and more dangerous than the U.N.'s notorious 1975 Zionism equals Racism resolution.
Rabbi Hier, who co-authored the above editorial, will be there at Trump's inauguration as the faith leader representing Judaism. And he expects better things.
“It is unprecedented for an outgoing Administration to make such a draconian foreign policy shift—while simultaneously packing their boxes to leave Washington,” Rabbis Marvin Hier, Founder and Dean and Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a leading Jewish Human Rights NGO declared.
“Secretary Kerry makes it sound like it’s the apartments and kindergartens built in Jewish communities on the West Bank that are the main impediment to a Two-State solution, when he and those diplomats who voted for UNSC 2334 know that it is Palestinian terrorism, and the continued control of Gaza and the largest portion of the Palestinian population by terrorist Hamas that is the main roadblock to a true peace. Get rid of Hamas, its terror tunnels, tens of thousands of rockets aimed at the Israeli heartland, get rid of the genocidal hate brainwashing Palestinian children and the world will see a Two-State solution rapidly become a reality.”
“There is no escaping the fact that this UN Security Council resolution dims prospects for peace, since it effectively removes any incentive for the Palestinian Authority to negotiate directly with the Israelis—a fact underscored by then-US Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice in 2011 when she explained why the US vetoed a similar UN Security Council resolution.”“We are confident that the Trump team’s approach to the Palestinian-Israel conflict will reflect these inconvenient truths and will restore - in tone and deeds - the relationship behooving two great friends who share a common heritage and democratic values,” Hier and Cooper concluded.
A fresh new wind is blowing. And it's time to speak the truth about the anti-Semitism of the left.
