Why would she be so thrilled to meet this anti-Semite? They share the same world view.
“WATCH: J Street Rabbi Has ‘Fangirl Moment’ During Chance Encounter With Anti-Semitic Dictator,” by Andrew Stiles, Washington Free Beacon, September 19, 2022:
Turkish strongman Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has repeatedly denounced Israel as a “terrorist state,” met an unlikely admirer during his stroll through Manhattan over the weekend. Rabbi Rachel Goldenberg of Queens, N.Y., a prominent supporter of the liberal advocacy group J Street, had a “fangirl moment” upon encountering the notorious anti-Semitic dictator in Central Park.
“Oh my gosh,” the starstruck rabbi said in a video recorded by Turkish propaganda operatives. “Really? Can I shake your hand?” Goldenberg’s reaction was rather unusual, given that Erdogan has been widely condemned for his anti-Semitic rants. In 2021, for example, he denounced Jews as “murderers” who “kill children” and “only are satisfied by sucking their blood.”
The House Anti-Semitism Task Force issued a statement blasting Erdogan’s anti-Semitic remarks as “tantamount to blood libel against the Jewish people.” The U.S. State Department called the comments “reprehensible.” Several months after the Turkish leader’s anti-Jewish tirade, a Turkish man who called Erdogan a “Jew” was sentenced to 10 months in prison for insulting the dictator’s “honor, dignity, and reputation.”
Erdogan was “warmly welcomed” during his stroll through Central Park, according to the Turkish propaganda outlet Daily Sabah. Alas, the fawning encounter with Goldenberg was not mentioned by the pro-government media apparatus, presumably for anti-Semitic reasons….

I thought “rabbis” were male, so seeing “fangirl moment:….
this is wrong on so many levels, but I’ll not say all that I believe about it. She’s certainly clueless or careless as in she doesn’t care what kind of foul creature he is.
Wellington says
Useful idiot par excellence. And I agree with somehistory, to wit, female rabbis function as an oxymoron.
Ah yes, the descent of the West continues. Unabated to date. Time for a beer.
somehistory says
Thank you, Wellington. 🙂
Wellington says
I don’t know, somehistory, if you have seen this clip of an ex-Muslim who became a Christian responding to a Muslim. It borders on priceless. Though an agnostic, I again assert that I wish every Muslim would wake up tomorrow a devout Christian. And the devout Orthodox Jew, Dennis Prager, has said that the death of Christianity in America will mean the death of America. One does not need to be a Christian in order to appreciate the greatness, the true greatness, of Christianity and how it magnificently comports with the democratic tenets first invented by the ancient Greeks. Best to you and yours.

I have not, Wellington, but I will follow the link provided and watch it. I was watching Glenn Beck…boy did he have some stories to tell today. I’ll let you know what I think when done.
And thank you. I hope the same for you. I also pray …hope no offense for my doing that.
somehistory says
Wellington, thank you. I really enjoyed listening to this young man. I do believe he died, did he not? If so, such a loss for others who would like some good explanations about Christ…and even about islam.
thanks again.

For anyone who is interested in the five stories Beck read today…

Far-Left rabbi has ‘fangirl moment’ in chance encounter with Turkey’s anti-Semitic Erdogan
………………………………………
What an idiot–does the Rabbi know nothing about Erdogan?
More:
Erdogan was “warmly welcomed” during his stroll through Central Park, according to the Turkish propaganda outlet Daily Sabah. Alas, the fawning encounter with Goldenberg was not mentioned by the pro-government media apparatus, presumably for anti-Semitic reasons….

Yep. Seems Erdogan didn’t have a “fanboy moment” meeting the Rabbi…
James Lincoln says
Rabbi Rachel Goldenberg couldn’t contain herself and was likely very perversely “starstruck” when meeting someone in person who is “well known” (for all of the wrong reasons).
The reality is, under different circumstances, Erdogan would have no problem having this rabbi killed.
somehistory says
Yes. the “starstruck” thing is usually silly at the least; but in this case, it’s perverse.
