If this is true about Jack Lew, he should be thrown out of Israel. We don't need another Kapo who will lie for his anti-semitic masters. If he has anything to say, it should be to Biden and remind him that long after he's done with his diapers he'll be remembered for how he stabbed his most loyal allies. He'll go down in history as an even worse president than Jimmy Carter and that's an incredibly low bar. It's bad enough that Blinken has shown himself to be a self-loathing kapo, we don't need Lew to follow in his path.
ReplyDeleteLew is no Henry Morgenthau, currently. Let's see if he'll be inspired.
DeleteWell said. Ty
DeleteMorgenthau like most of "our crowd" was indifferent until he was impressed & influenced.
DeleteHave we any in our much more influential chest thumping community than then, unable to accomplish that?
