Het is echt heel raar om te roepen dat er very fine people in de groep mensen zat die riepen 'Jews will not replace us' en waarvan er eentje een moord pleegde. Als dat je primaire reactie is, dan spoor je echt duidelijk niet.

En als je dat zo vriendelijk mogelijk uitlegt terwijl je kritiek op de staat Israel als anti-semitisch wegzet, zou je toch bij jezelf te rade moeten gaan hoe neutraal je in staat bent zaken te evalueren.

"There’s always kind of a calming feeling I tell folks when I think of the Holocaust, and the tragedy of the Holocaust, and the fact that it was my ancestors — Palestinians — who lost their land and some lost their lives, their livelihood, their human dignity, their existence in many ways, have been wiped out, and some people's passports," Tlaib said just after the 28 minute mark. "And just all of it was in the name of trying to create a safe haven for Jews, post-the Holocaust, post-the tragedy and the horrific persecution of Jews across the world at that time. And I love the fact that it was my ancestors that provided that, right, in many ways. But they did it in a way that took their human dignity away and it was forced on them.”

Het anti semitisme leeft blijkbaar bij de nieuwe talenten in de Democratische partij.

quote:

Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s final report includes many references to actions of President Donald Trump’s personal attorneys in Volume 2, which covers obstruction of justice. As a foremost expert on legal ethics and professional responsibility Stephen Gillers explained, the report indicates that these lawyers were potentially involved in ethical misconduct or in a criminal obstruction of justice.

With some notable exceptions, the report does not provide the names of individual lawyers. The report also frequently refers to “counsel,” which is ambiguous because it could be plural (involving multiple lawyers) or singular. That said, the report does effectively identify two lawyers in important activities – Rudy Giuliani and Jay Sekulow – and the public record allows one to match which lawyers were serving Trump during the relevant times.

The following Chart provides a comprehensive account of the Mueller Report’s references to potential wrongdoing by President Trump’s personal lawyers.

The move by the younger Mr. Trump's associates was straight out of his father's playbook -- set the terms of the debate at the most extreme end of the discussion by saying he would not appear, then cut a deal and look gracious.

The agreement provides Mr. Burr with an off-ramp from the confrontation. If the younger Mr. Trump had refused to appear, the chairman would have faced a painful choice between initiating contempt of Congress proceedings against the president's eldest son and undercutting the independence of his two-year investigation of Russian election interference by letting him defy him.

President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, struggled to answer questions about his plan to overhaul the immigration system in a closed-door meeting with Republican senators Tuesday, according to GOP officials, winning little support for the proposal.

Publicly, senators emerged from their weekly Capitol Hill luncheon applauding the White House senior adviser’s pitch to move U.S. immigration toward a merit-based system that prioritizes highly skilled workers, a task he undertook at Trump’s behest.

But privately, Republican officials said Kushner had difficulty answering questions from a friendly audience, prompting Trump’s other senior adviser, Stephen Miller, to interrupt and take over the conversation. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to freely discuss what transpired at the meeting.

At one point, Kushner told Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) that his plan would not address Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, the program that shields some young undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children from deportation. This left several senators confused because dealing with the “dreamers,” as the group of immigrants is often called, is crucial for securing any Democratic support.

Congressional Republicans and Democrats have struggled to try to reach a compromise on immigration that would address the 11 million immigrants in the United States illegally. Since Trump took office, they have repeatedly failed as the president has embraced a hard-line position and pressed for billions of U.S. dollars to build a border wall that he promised Mexico would finance.

Last week, Trump met privately with a dozen GOP senators at the White House to discuss the plan. Faced with Democratic opposition, the effort was seen primarily as a political document that Trump and Republicans could rally behind.

But GOP senators left the meeting wondering whether Kushner understood the issue, the GOP officials said. Though some appreciated his efforts, they did not think his plan would advance anytime soon.

No senator has stepped forward to turn Kushner’s plan into legislation.

“He’s in his own little world,” said one individual familiar with the discussion in the meeting, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to freely describe the session. “He didn’t give many details about what was in [his plan]. . . . And there were a number of instances where people had to step in and answer questions because he couldn’t.”

The White House had no immediate comment on the session.

quote:

As the Trump administration draws up war plans against Iran over what it says are threats to American troops and interests, a senior British military official told reporters at the Pentagon on Tuesday that he saw no increased risk from Iran or allied militias in Iraq or Syria.

A few hours later, the United States Central Command issued an unusual rebuke: The remarks from the British official — Maj. Gen. Chris Ghika, who is also the deputy commander of the American-led coalition fighting the Islamic State — run “counter to the identified credible threats available to intelligence from U.S. and allies regarding Iranian-backed forces in the region.”

The rare public dispute highlights a central problem for the Trump administration as it seeks to rally allies and global opinion against Iran.

Over the last year, Washington has said Iran is threatening United States interests in the Middle East, encouraging aggression by Shiite militias in Lebanon, Iraq and Syria, shipping missiles to Houthi rebels in Yemen and allowing its naval forces to behave belligerently in the Persian Gulf.

All are concerns that have been leveled against Iranian forces for years.

“We are aware of their presence clearly and we monitor them along with a whole range of others because of the environment we are in,” General Ghika said.

But he said, “No, there has been no increased threat from Iranian-backed forces in Iraq or Syria.”

Intelligence and military officials in Europe as well as in the United States said that over the past year, most aggressive moves have originated not in Tehran, but in Washington — where John R. Bolton, the national security adviser, has prodded President Trump into backing Iran into a corner.

One American official said the new intelligence of an increased Iranian threat was “small stuff” and did not merit the military planning being driven by Mr. Bolton. The official also said the ultimate goal of the yearlong economic sanctions campaign by the Trump administration was to draw Iran into an armed conflict with the United States.
