Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Sid Blumenthal pushed son Max’s anti-Israel, “Islamophobia” propaganda on Hillary

Sep 1, 2015 9:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Why does the “Islamophobia” nonsense have such traction at the very highest levels of government? Here is a clue.

“Emails Show Blumenthal Pushed Son’s Anti-Israel Activism On Hillary,” by Kerry Picket, Daily Caller, September 1, 2015:

The State Department’s August email dump of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton included numerous communications with close confidante Sid Blumenthal, who often passed along his son Max’s anti-Israel articles.

The older Blumenthal, who served in the Clinton White House as a close political aide to the president and first lady, sent Clinton, in December 2010, an article his son wrote about “Islamophobia” in the Republican Party, the tea party, and the “Islamophobic crusade” from the “pro-Israel lobby.” (Email 1 , Email 2)

Max attacked a number of individuals and groups for their financial or political support of Israel as well as excoriated them for their criticism of radical Islamic terrorism.

In response to a tweet from The Daily Caller’s Jamie Weinstein asking the younger Blumenthal if he was an “informal adviser” to Clinton, Blumenthal responded, “I warned her about the danger of #JSIL. She didn’t listen.”https://t.co/7eEEwmugBN

— Max Blumenthal (@MaxBlumenthal) September 1, 2015

The JSIL (The Jewish State of Israel in the Levant) hashtag on Twitter is the creation of Max and fellow anti-Israel writer, Rania Khalek. The hashtag is meant to compare Israel to the terrorist organization ISIL. In June 2010, Sid sent Clinton a piece Max wrote about the Gaza-bound flotilla carrying pro-Palestinian activists, which ended in a deadly raid by Israeli commandos after the flotilla refused to turn around when it attempted to break through Israel’s coastal territory. The incident remains in dispute to this day. In his piece, Max claims that Israel provided no proof the flotilla passengers had terrorist connections and Israeli media was playing along with whatever the Israel Defense Forces told them.

Sid sent Clinton another Max article that attacked Israel over the flotilla incident in June 2010. The piece is titled, “The Flotilla Raid Was Not ‘Bungled.’ The IDF Detailed Its Violent Strategy In Advance.”

A few months later in August, Sid sent Clinton an email with Max’s piece that described Israeli teenagers who spent their summer demolishing Palestinian structures in the Bedouin village of Al-Arakib. Max calls it the “Summer Camp Of Destruction.”

By September 2010, Sid sent Clinton the preface to his son’s book “Days of rage: the tea party & America’s right.” The older Blumenthal previously sent an email to Clinton a month earlier telling her about his son’s new epilogue to the paperback edition of his previous book “Republican Gomorrah: The Right’s Days of Rage.”

Sid sent Clinton a November 2010 email with a piece Max writes that is critical of Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders. Max described Wilders as “far right” and “whose agenda is comprised exclusively of xenophobic populism.”…

      Blumenthal and his son MUST be charged with racism and Israelophobia. DHS could demonstrate efficiency by arresting them during the same operation when they put Clinton in handcuffs for possible treason.

    I’ve never understand why Jews would once again willingly march toward the ovens by siding with the true neo-nazis, the Muslims. Do the Jews think that the jihad-enabling democrats will protect their interests when the caliphate goes mobile and comes for them? They better pray some right wing tea party militia types are around when the piper comes to collect.

      The oddity of the Self-Hating Jew would reach baffling proportions seducing one to a conspiracy theory — were it not for the monumental fact that we also have the similar categories of the Self-Hating Christian, the Self-Hating Catholic, the Self-hating American, the Self-Hating Brit, the Self-Hating Frenchman, the Self-Hating (fill in your Western country), the Self-Hating Westerner, and the Self-Hating White Man.

      I.e., the problem is much broader and reflects a systemic disease throughout the West. That disease takes two forms: a psychosis (in the form of Leftism), and a milder neurosis (in the form of PC MC). While the latter is milder, decaf and made palatable with cream & sugar (or non-fat soy milk and health food honey), it is far more effective in promoting the whitewashing of Muslims.

      All this, however, should not take our harsh spotlight off the Self-Hating Jew.

      As I wrote on my blog about the Blumenthals:

      Consider, for example, Sidney Blumenthal, well-known journalist (and former aide to President Clinton) and his son Max, an up-and-coming author and pundit:

      Sidney Blumenthal recently hosted a launch party for his son Max’s latest book, which makes extensive comparisons of Israel to Nazi Germany.

      Then, referring to the recent mass murder of elderly Jews in Kansas by Frazier Glenn Cross who, it was subsequently learned, was an admirer of Max Blumenthal’s self-hating Israel-bashing:

      Max Blumenthal responded to the murder spree carried out by one of his admirers by attacking Israel, discussing on the hate site Mondoweiss the similarities between Zionism and Frazier Glenn Cross’s white supremacism.

      Let’s try to unravel this schizophrenic mess: A self-hating Leftist Jew (Max Blumenthal) promotes murderous hatred of Israel (and his father enthusiastically supports him); a supposed “right wing” extremist murders Jews in the name of murderous hatred of Israel; the aforementioned self-hating Jew uses this mass murder to link the putatively “right wing” extremism of the killer with the Israel he murdered Jews over… This isn’t just strange bedfellows; it’s lunatics having a grotesquely tragicomic orgy.

      And yet, when Max Blumenthal’s grandfather (and Sidney’s father) Hymen Blumenthal died in 2003, the obituary noted that:

      “In lieu of flowers, contributions to the Israel Emergency Campaign-JUF…”

      Hymen must be revolving in his grave over the fact that his son and grandson are using their not inconsiderable sociopolitical influence to actively demonize Israel as “Nazi”.

    It’s a nest of vipers at the top…Shape shifting lizards…They emulate the Gila Monster, venous, and when they bite, they won’t let go… Hillary bit down long ago and hasn’t let go yet..

    Tolstoy said it in 1894…’The ‘good’ cannot seek power nor retain it, to do that, men must love power, ‘and love of power has the opposite qualities of goodness…Pride, cunning, cruelty’…..Hillary, is that you?

    Of all the Republican candidates, Ben Carson has the least of these, followed by Carly…Trump is already corrupted, like the rest of the field…with the possible exceptions of Cruz and Paul…

      ……………………

      Swami, I always look for your comments–but consider what you are saying here. By these lights, any leader we elect would not only be compromised, but would be just as bad as submitting to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

      Politicians are imperfect, and we certainly don’t have a very impressive crop right now–but this implies that our doing *anything* to defend our civilized societies is utterly hopeless.

      I revere Tolstoy as a writer, but late in life he was basically an ascetic who believed in renunciation of the world. He believed in “non-resistance to evil”, and would have held that resisting the horror of Islam to be morally indefensible.

      The only political “system” he advocated was anarchy–and we all know how peaceful *that* has turned out to be…

    Yes, yes, we all remember the time when Israelis dressed up people in orange jumpsuits and cut off their heads. Why just compare? Why not go full overboard and claim that ISIS is an Israeli creation and ISIS means “Israeli Secret Intelligence Services” (even if that acronym makes no sense in any language other than English)?

    • Tiredofstupid says

      Sep 2, 2015 at 5:31 pm

      Actually I think it will come out that obama created isis in order to fight assad in syria. That’s why we “accidentally” air dropped supplies to Isis up until obama lost control of them. Our traitor in chief was the one who took the opportunity to create an opponent to assad and therefore is responsible.

      • gravenimage says

        Sep 2, 2015 at 6:01 pm

        I am *no* fan of Obama–a very dangerous man–but the idea that ISIS was created by Obama–and hence, presumably, has nothing to do with Islam–is ridiculous.

        The fact is that ISIS originated as Jama’at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad, way back in 1999.

        Obama was in the Illinois Senate back in 1999, and not really in any position to create a Jihad terror group in Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, even if he were so inclined.

    Max Blumenthal inserted the video into Benghazi and then tried to blame Spencer and Geller for the video. Sydney emailed Max’s op-ed to Hillary Clinton.

    Official US policy was based on the paranoid delusions of a creep, Max Blumenthal. It took years and the discovery of Clinton’s secret server, but now the story can be pieced together.

      Max Blumenthal was playing the role played by Albert Brooks in Broadcast News. Max could write anything and watch Hillary and Obama repeat it.

    Sid Blumenthal apparently believes Jews (out of all people in the world) don’t have the right of self-defense.

    Many German Jews thought the Hitler was joking and that no one would take him seriously.

    Now that Jews have a state and an army and a navy, Blumenthal is suggesting they shouldn’t use them!

    I have to agree with the assessment of him as a KAPO!

      He is not alone, what about Avi Shlaim, the other daughter of an iraqui who said that there was no antisemitism in islam? She is a historian based in Britain, Mizhari. And how about Pappe? And now Chomsky getting worst by the day?
      Are they going mad? Is it a disease? Funny none of them have any attachment to Torah or anything mildly spiritual, they just focus on the ethical aspects of the whole subject. It is a major misunderstanding of Jewish tradition as a whole, full blowing one part.

      OOOps, this article may answer a lot of questions

    Sickening calumny against Israel.

    And how cynical is Rania Khalek? Here she is on Twitter, comparing European countries wanting to keep out ravening JIhadists as “[carrying] echos of 1930s antisemitism”.
