Obama Confidante Vicious Antisemite Rashid Khalidi: Pro-Israel Figures Will ‘INFEST’ US Government After Trump Takes Office

It’s ironic that one of the red flags signalling Obama’s virulent anti-semitism well before he took office — his admiration of vicious Jew hater Rashid Khalidi — will provide a fitting end to this disastrous period in American history, the Obama years.

Rashid Khalidi, bookending the Obama years – how fitting.

Using the language of the Nazis, notorious antisemite Rashid Khalidi said pro-Israel Jews will “infest” President-elect Donald Trump’s administration.The Nazis used this exact kind of language – rats, infesting and so forth.

Khalidi has a long history of virulently anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, and anti-American rhetoric. He traffics in the libels that Israel is a “racist” and “apartheid” state.

Back in 2009, I wrote extensively  about Rashid Khalidi in my book, The Post American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s War on America.The Saudi’s funneled tens of thousands of dollars into a fifteen week course on Middle Eastern politics at Columbia Mid East Institute that Rashid Khalid taught. New York Schools schools Chancellor Joel Klein removed Khalidi from the program after came to light that Khalidi had justified jihad terrorist attacks against Israeli citizens. Reports indicate that Khalidi was the director of WAFA, the official press agency of the Palestine liberation, in Beirut from 1976 to 1982. According to journalist Aaron Klein, “Palestinian diplomatic sources in Ramallah told WorldNetDaily he indeed worked on behalf of WAFA.” What’s more during documented speeches and public events, Khalidi has called Israel and “apartheid system in creation” and a “destructive racist state”. He has multiple times expressed support for jihad terror against Jews, calling suicide bombings a response to “Israeli aggression”. He dedicated his 1986 book quote “Under Siege” to those “who gave their lives… in defense of the cause of Palestine and independence of Lebanon.” Critics assailed the book as excusing Palestinian terrorism.

In October 2008,  the Los Angeles times obtained video of it 2003 Arab American Action Network (AAAN) dinner attended by Barack Obama, terrorists Bill Ayers, Bernadette Dohrn and Khalidi, the Times refused to release the video, leading to angry accusations of journalistic bias since it is widely rumored that the video showed Obama making anti-Israel statements. One thing the Times did reveal was that Obama spoke warmly about his conversations with Khaldi  and his wife Mona saying that they had served for him as”consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases……. It’s for that reason I’m hoping that, for many years to come, we continue that conversation, a conversation that is necessary not just around Mona and Rashid’s dinner table” but on the big stage of “this entire world.”

To this day wight years later, The Los Angeles Times has refused to release the Rashid Khalidi/ Barack Obama tape. But evidence of Obama’s antisemitism was already there in abundance even then. Imagine if that was Trump…..

Obama has 24 hours left — pray hard he doesn’t attack the Jews and hurt the Jewish homeland one last time.

Palestinian-American Columbia Professor Rashid Khalidi: Pro-Israel Figures Will ‘Infest’ US Government After Trump Takes Office

Pro-Israel figures will “infest” President-elect Donald Trump’s administration, a Palestinian-American Columbia University professor and notorious critic of the Jewish state declared on Tuesday.

“There are a group of people, a lot of them in Israel and some of them in the United States, who live in a world of their own,” Rashid Khalidi — the Edward Said professor of Modern Arab Studies at Columbia — stated during an interview aired by Chicago’s WBEZ 91.5 public radio station. “That is to say, they think that whatever they want and whatever cockamamie schemes they can cook up can be substituted for reality.”

“So they have a vision whereby the occupied territories aren’t occupied,” Rashidi continued. “They have a vision whereby there is no such thing as the Palestinians. They have a vision whereby international law doesn’t exist. They have a vision whereby the United States can unilaterally cancel a decision of the United Nations. And unfortunately these people infest the Trump transition team, these people are going to infest our government as of January 20th. And they are hand in glove with a similar group of people in the Israeli government and in Israeli political life who think that whatever they think can be imposed on reality.”

Watchdogs lauded the recent decision by a New York academic institution to prevent a notoriously anti-Israel group from organizing on its campus. AMCHA…

“Well they will live in that little bubble for as long as the Trump administration is here, but there’s going to be a rude shock awaiting them, because most Americans don’t feel that way,” Khalidi claimed.
