Ben Rhodes is a despicable human being. One of the worst Israel-haters from the Obama Administration. Where are America’s Jewish groups who proudly condemned Marjorie Taylor Greene over a nothing burger?
Ben Rhodes told @J_Insider that @netanyahu — and all Jews — are “corrupt and cruel.” While this view is taking root among some Democrats, does President Biden agree? I hope not.https://t.co/43aFOqgeC2

Ben Rhodes is an anti-Semite. I know that progressives like him for that. But what about the rest of you? And by the way, what does it say about progressives that they like him for his anti-Semitism? https://t.co/1kP8bs8Upu

Obama-Era Official Ben Rhodes Invokes Antisemitic Tropes In Anti-Israel Tirade
By February 18, 2021
Former deputy national security adviser and Holocaust Memorial Museum board member Ben Rhodes made multiple comments featuring antisemitic tropes directed toward Israel, its Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Jews.
In a recent interview on the “Occupied Thoughts” podcast, Rhodes told notably anti-Zionist host Peter Beinart that Netanyahu’s policy when dealing with Palestine is to be “corrupt and cruel.”
“Maybe [Netanyahu’s] view is, ‘Jews have been screwed throughout history by a corrupt, cruel world. And so you know what, we just have to be corrupt and cruel ourselves. That’s the only way to survive in this world,’” Rhodes said. Rhodes also accused Netanyahu of manipulating “right-wing, pro-Likud media in the United States” to “needle Obama” and “create a weeklong political story.”
“The media interest is dramatically intensified,” Rhodes said. “And that’s both a very aggressive, kind of pro-Likud media in the United States, [and] it’s also just the mainstream media that delights in Israel controversies.” Rhodes continued his screed by claiming the people who support Israel should “just be honest” about their view of Palestine.
“I wish the right … would just say, ‘We don’t believe there should be a Palestinian state, we believe in the concept of a greater Israel, we feel sorry for the Palestinians, but they’re just going to have to deal with it,’” Rhodes said. “That’s the position of the Israeli government. Frankly, that’s the position of the Republican Party, even if they’re not honest about it.”
Rhodes also attacked the communities that defend Israel’s quest to be its own state, saying they are used to exercising their influence and pushing their priorities within the federal government.
“You have this incredibly organized pro-Israel community that is very accustomed to having access in the White House, in Congress, at the State Department,” Rhodes added. “It’s kind of taken as granted, as given, that that’s going to be the way things are done.”
Because of Israel, U.S. media, and conservative influences, Rhodes concluded that Palestine has never been afforded the chance to prove a two-state solution is viable.
“Some conservative Democrats … [have] been playing these talking points around the two-state solution and then blame the Palestinians for it never happening,” Rhodes said. “I got so sick of hearing, ‘Palestinians never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity.’ But when did we give them one?”

There is so much wrong with democrats that we need to purge them from the United States. Why we haven’t started the war and sent these people to hell already is beyond me.

I am going to block you for war mongering. True and healthy democracy means ideas are allowed to compete and see which is most successful. Your attitude is just the same as the present Lib/Dems who want to destroy the Right and everything connected to Trump. You want a civil war to annihilate the Dems? That is genocidal.

After Isreal’s creation in 1948, every arab country surrounding it expelled all of its Jews. Israel owes the arabs nothing. Its relationship with them will always be transactional. Ben Rhodes can shove the two-state solution up his jew-hating *ss.

Rhodes and Beinart both are Jewish – Rhodes’ mother is a Jew; so here we have two Jews, viciously attacking the Jewish state – and the Jewish people themselves.
Formerly, it was the fashion to hate the Jewish state, and its aspirations embodied, imperfectly, in Netanyahu – but the mask has slipped.
Now, It’s all the rage on the left – including the Jewish left – to despise Jews themselves.
The legion of anti-Semites, including those of Jewish descent, is disturbing, and the difficulties they present are concerning.

Many secular Jews have abandoned Judaism for their new religion, Progressivism. Soros is their Pope. it’s a simple case of history repeating itself. Secular Jews were major influencers and supporters of Communism and the rise of Socialist states. The religion of their mother is irrelevant. Rhodes, Beinart, and many others like them, should be viewed as enemies of the Jews and dealt with accordingly.

Yeshua was not indicting all Jews for all time — only those in audience and maybe not even all those in his audience. He lived in Israel, so antisemitism wouldn’t have been played well to his audience.

The last weeks I begin my day GAB with posts from Horowitz Discover the networks started with Hillary Clinton, Bill Ayers, Obama, Brennan, BLM, Freedom Road socialist organisation, John Kerry and many more and yesterday I spent all day on Ben Rhodes.

Disclaimer: I’m Jewish. I’m just not one of the useful idiots out there.
That said, secular Jews are the dumbest, most moronic, suicidal jackasses alive!
These miserable creatures continue to vote day after day, month after month, year after year for DemocRATS: those who most want them DEAD.

Ben Rhodes, the cueball fantasy author who struck it rich working for Obama, gives us his best Israel Hating self-hating Jew pose.
Wasn’t surprised then, Not surprised now, now that anti-Semitism is mainstream in the Democrat party.

Rhodes and Beinart are JINOs, as, they only believe in extreme leftism, with the evil democrat party as their temple. When their temple comes crashing down, I won`t gloat, but, will be pleased to be rid of them.

Is Rhodes an total idiot or just pretending to be one? As Bill Clinton told Arafat back in 2000 when Barak offered Arafat the deal of the century, “Arafat said no. Enraged, Clinton banged on the table and said: ‘You are leading your people and the region to a catastrophe.’”

Jewish liberals are the worst. We Jews have enough enemies and these dopes just add to it. Unfortunately too many Jews still vote Democratic. Case in point is Schumer and the fat slob Nader. These two including ex congressman Engel could not even go to Israel for transfer of new US embassy. Quislings Jews or as I like to call them boxcar Jews. The ones to stupid or thought they were intellectually superior. The ones who said “ the Nazis are not so bad.” “ we can stay home.” “ it is only a train ride.” “ it is a nice shower.” Too late.
This Rhodes moron I guess forgot about all the deals the Palestinians rejected. No wonder he and the Jew hater Obama backed Netanyahu opponent with money. Blacks notoriously hate Jews and Barack with Michelle just prove that out. Remember he wanted Israel to move back to green line.
