Jews to fill the ranks of highly-centalized, multi-ethnic loving, anti-gun, pro-abortion government - haven't we seen this before?

from "Record no. of Jews Elected to Congress," by Allison Hoffman, Jerusalem Post

The next session of Congress will include 45 Jewish lawmakers, a new record, after Democrats Alan Grayson of Florida and John Adler of New Jersey take two House seats from the Republican column.

Jared Polis, also a Democrat, was widely expected to win his Colorado House seat to match the previous record, set in the 2006 elections.

The House will have 32 Jewish members.
Only the class of 1990 had more Jewish members - 34 - but there were fewer Jewish senators at the time.

The next Senate will have 13 Jewish members, the same as the previous session, despite a toss-up race in Minnesota, where both Republican incumbent Norm Coleman and his Democratic challenger, comedian Al Franken, are Jewish.

"It's a lot to ask - we had an incredible night with Obama, we had the other pickups in the House and Senate and we should be very grateful," said Ira Forman, executive direction of the National Jewish Democratic Council.

The reinforced Democratic majorities in both chambers assure President-elect Barack Obama a stronger hand in enacting his agenda of change. (more)

So, with that established, let us get back to the last time Jews presided over top of a globalist-minded, anti-gun, pro-abortion government council. Where was that, again? Oh, right:


But wait: Obama nominated Rahm Emanuel to be his Chief of Staff. Emanuel is quite the interesting choice...

Emanuel's first name means "high" or "lofty" in Hebrew; granted, that might be a fine choice for an American-born Jew. But it might also be the sort of name you get when your father is Benjamin M. Emanuel, an Israeli citizen who was born in Israel and a member of a Zionist militant organization known as Irgun. After its formation in 1931, the organization proclaimed that all Jews were entitled to settle in the Arab-inhabited British Mandate of Palestine. Before mass migrations began, Jews had made up 10% of the region's population; after, the Jewish population in Palestine swelled. The Arabs turned to terrorism to frighten and push out the Jews and Irgun countered with its own terrorist activities.

With the White Paper of 1939, the British government revealed its plan to put an end to the conflict and create an independent, multi-ethnic state out of the region, which would be populated by both the Arabs and the Jews. But Irgun did not want this. Thus, in 1943, Irgun declared war on the British and began engaging in further acts of terror in Palestine so as to pave the way for the creation of a single, Jewish-controlled state: today's Israel.

With a cast like this, the new U.S. Administration just might top the neo-cons and set a new standard in extra-national and extra-interest servitude.

God help us.
