Happy Hanukkah! Obama Likens Syrian Muslim Refugees to Jewish Holocaust Refugees. Again.
December 15, 2015
President Obama sees Jews in the same fashion he sees
everything else: as a photo-op he can use and abuse for public
relations. Today’s exercise in Jews-as-PR-tools came at the National
Archives, where Obama explained that the world should view Syrian Muslim
refugees like Jewish World War II refugees.
“In the Mexican immigrant today,” he said, “we see the Catholic immigrant of a century ago. In the Syrian seeking refuge today, we should see the Jewish refugee of World War II.”
Misquoting the Bible, Obama said that America had to decide between “welcoming or rejecting the stranger,” and added that various groups had been mistreated in America – and that now, their descendants were preparing to mistreat others:
To cite Jewish persecution as a rationale for bringing into the
United States a thousands of people who hate Jews is the most perverse
form of illogic.
But that’s what Obama does.
On Hanukkah, Obama invited to his White House Reform Rabbi Susan Talve – which is to say, a pretend religious authority who knows less about authentic Judaism than any third-grade cheder graduate. Talve proceeded to use the Jewish holiday to spout social justice warrior nonsense, calling for support for Black Lives Matter, “justice for Palestinians,” amnesty for illegal immigrants, and full-scale gun control.
She likened the lights of the menorah – which represent the purity of Torah Judaism in the face of Hellenization, by the way – to beacons against the “darkness of Islamophobia, and homophobia, and transphobia, and racism and anti-Semitism, and lal the other isms that dare to dim our hope.” She asked for “more love, more understanding, and more compassion” to fight terrorism. She then concluded, “In’shallah. In’shallah. In’shallah. In’shallah. In’shallah.”
None of this should be surprising.
This is how Obama treats Jews.
And everyone else. For Obama, public relations is the key to everlasting political life. Military members are just great photo-ops. National security must be manipulated to preserve “optics” at the expense of 14 dead Americans in San Bernardino. And Jews can be magically turned into Syrian Muslims if public relations so demands.
Pathetic, but predictable. That’s the Obama way.

During World War II German and Italian immigrants were detained and in one of the darkest chapters in our history, Japanese immigrants and even Japanese American citizens were forced from their homes and imprisoned in camps. We succumbed to fear. We betrayed not only our fellow Americans but also our deepest values. It’s happened before. The biggest irony was of course is that those who betrayed these values were themselves the children of immigrants. How quickly we forget. One generation passes, two generations passes and suddenly we don’t remember where we came from. And we suggest that somehow there is us and them, not remembering we used to be them.As Michael Qazvini has written, there are virtually no similarities between Jewish refugees and Syrian refugees. There was no credible fear of Jewish refugee terrorists infiltrating the United States; Jewish refugees had no place else to go; Syrian Muslim refugees are refugees as a result of inter-Muslim civil war, not religious persecution of a minority people; Syrian Muslim refugees are largely religious and non-Westernized; Muslim refugees in the West, particularly Europe, have engaged in disproportionate numbers of attacks on Jews.
But that’s what Obama does.
