    Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel is no pal of ours, Israel's foes say

    JERUSALEM - Palestinians Thursday blasted President-elect Barack Obama's choice of Rahm Emanuel as White House chief of staff - and the appointee's father may have poured fuel on the fire.

    Dr. Benjamin Emanuel, once a member of the Irgun militia that fought for Israel's statehood, was asked in an interview with the Hebrew daily Maariv if his son's appointment would be good for Israel.

    "Obviously, he will influence the President to be pro-Israel," said the elder Emanuel, who immigrated to the U.S. from Israel in the 1950s.

    "Why shouldn't he do it? What is he, an Arab? He's not going to clean the floor of the White House."

    There was no immediate comment from Rep. Emanuel's congressional office.

    While Palestinian leaders maintained a diplomatic silence, many ordinary Palestinians reacted with fury in comments posted on Web sites and chat rooms.

    "With the appointment of this Zionist, Barack Obama is proving that he is more Zionist than the Zionists," said Subhi Abu Ishira on the Palestinian NGO network, referring to the anti-Arab remark by Benjamin Emanuel.

    The Window into Palestine blog called Rahm Emanuel "the son of a terrorist, a real living terrorist."

    Nabil Abu Rudeineh, official spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, said he had no view on Emanuel's appointment but doubted the optimism surrounding Obama's election would reach the Palestinians.

    "He is talking about change," Abu Rudeineh said. "But for it to affect us, we have to see a change of American policy in the Middle East. The American policy is the same. It's not going to be changed."

    Min0, a link would be very nice, after such comments.

    I assume you know this must be a joke.

    But yes, Rahm's father has been accused of atrocities.

    This was his father, and NOT Rahm, of course.


    Just as the election ends I thought "silly season" would.

    But I guess it never ends.......

    seemed like a legitimate article to me. the distinction between father and son was easily made. how is this a joke?

    ^ Thanks for the link.

    Without a link, I cannot take anything seriously. Too many hoaxes and jokes out there.

    The arabs and persians will not like that fact that Emanuel served in the IDF...I like Emanuel's management style, but I prefer any person who served in a foreign military to NOT work in positions of power in the USG.

    Barack means Lightning, Rahm means Thunder | NJDC

    Barack means Lightning, Rahm means Thunder

    AARON KEYAK — NOVEMBER 6, 2008 – 5:49 PM | ISRAEL | DEMOCRATS | OBAMA Comments (0) Add a comment
    Remember when it was reported that President-elect Barack Obama had a problem with the Jewish vote?

    That is no more.

    In one of President-elect Barack Obama’s first Presidential decisions since Election Day he selected Representative Rahm Emanuel to be his Chief of Staff. We all know that Emanuel has “has a proven commitment to Israel’s security and served as civilian volunteer on an Israeli military base during the Persian Gulf War of 1991.” We also know that Emanuel’s “aggressive, pragmatic style of politics” makes him the perfect selection to be Obama’s Chief of Staff.

    But could have Emanuel’s selection had something to do with his first name - Rahm?

    In Hebrew, Rahm (רעם)* means “thunder” and Barack (ברק) means “lightning.”

    “If you are near...lightning you’ll hear thunder as one sharp crack”

    Thunder & Lightning = Change that can get it done



    *Point of clarification: Ra’am- spelled reish, ayin, mem - means thunder, but it depends on how he spells his name. If he spells his name reish, mem, then it may mean something different (like “high, lofty, or loud") - and it looks like he may. (Thanks for the heads up Nava!)
