“Pressure is building in Congress for Biden to do more to halt Israel’s assault on Gaza,” he was asked in a 2021 interview as fighting raged to stop Hamas assaults on Israel .
“Hopefully he can use it as leverage to get the Israelis to stop,” Ilan Goldenberg, Kamala’s future Middle East advisor and new ‘liaison’ to the Jewish community, answered.
Could a Kamala administration be any worse for the Jews than the Obama administration?
An early answer arrived with the announcement that the Harris-Walz campaign had picked Ilan Goldenberg as its ‘liaison’ to the Jewish community. Freedom Center Investigates had previously profiled Goldenberg when he was serving as Kamala’s Middle East advisor.
A member of the Kerry team under Obama, whose biased attacks on Israel and support for Iran and Islamic terrorists in Israel helped lead to the current regional crisis, Goldenberg had spent the years leading up to Oct 7 doing everything possible to make the Hamas attack happen.
And the time afterward serving as a Kamala adviser and imposing sanctions on Israelis.
Ilan Goldenberg had previously advocated for a deal in which “Hamas would retain some of its military capabilities” and argued that “half the root causes are Israeli actions, in terms of — especially just focusing on Gaza, on the blockade. And the other half is Hamas’ choice to use violence and arm itself in response.” He had urged that more money should go into the Hamas territory and argued that Israel should in allow workers from Gaza. “You used to have 25,000, 100,000 Gazans working inside Israel. That needs to happen again.” That led to Oct 7.
Kamala’s new Jewish ‘liasion’ opposed every single pro-Israel move by both Republicans and Democrats, whether it was moving the embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing the Golan Heights or even cutting off aid to the ‘pay-to’slay’ program of the Palestinian Authority. Instead, he urged anti-Israel moves including a unilateral recognition of a ‘Palestinian’ state on Israel’s territory.
Ilan Goldenberg had been a vocal proponent of the Iran Deal, and attended an event by NIAC: the Iran Lobby. He had argued that “In the aftermath of a successful nuclear deal, U.S. relations with Iran should shift from that of an adversary to that of a competitor.”
And Ilan Goldenberg had been part of the team that was responsible for and had defended the Obama administration’s opposition to Israel at the UN.
A recent Tablet article by Michael Doran of the Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East had described Goldenberg as playing a “very enthusiastic role” in the Biden administration’s program to sanction Jews in Israel. So far those sanctions have targeted an Israeli goat farm, an Israeli baker who shot a terrorist, and an Israeli mother of 8, who worked with survivors of sexual assault and led protests against the Biden policies that rewarded Hamas.
Rather than being associated with the Jewish community, Goldenberg was tied to anti-Israel groups including J Street, Peace Now and the Israel Policy Forum: which hailed the pick. Goldenberg had a scant history with Jewish groups, but he had attended an event for NIAC, the Iran Lobby, and had been a vigorous champion of the deal that empowered Iran’s terrorism.
But all of that may not even be the most disturbing part of the move by VP Kamala Harris.
Previous Jewish liaisons were usually involved with Jewish communal life and could speak to a variety of issues. Ilan Goldenberg is simply an anti-Israel activist whose only issues are empowering Iran and Hamas. Kamala just reduced the Jewish community to support for her anti-Israel program without even any acknowledgement that there are American Jews.
A Kamala aide stated that Goldenberg would be “the campaign’s main liaison with Jewish community leaders and stakeholders and advise the campaign on issues related to the U.S.-Israel relationship, the war in Gaza and the broader Middle East.”
There’s no mention of anything American Jews might be interested in inside America.
American Jews are not the Israeli government or an arm of it. And yet to Kamala, that is all they are. Kamala’s aide couldn’t think of American Jews except in terms of foreign policy.
Kamala’s mouthpieces in the Jewish community claimed that because her husband is of Jewish ancestry, that she understands Jews. If anything, American Jews are apparently alien to her.
Instead of selecting someone from the Jewish community or any of her political aides, Kamala chose someone whose sole function will be to justify her anti-Israel policies to the Jewish community, and who will filter any efforts by the Jewish community to push back against them.
What can American Jews expect from Ilan Goldenberg and by extent from Kamala Harris?
During the 2021 battles with Hamas, Goldenberg explained why Biden was only pretending to support Israel. “What Biden has decided to do for the moment is privately tell the Israelis to stop or to stop soon while publicly continuing to support them. This helps him build political support… but when there does come a moment, hopefully soon… where Biden says, ‘OK, enough is enough, you must stop or our public position is going to start to shift. Our position at the UN Security Council where we’ve been defending you is going to start to shift. You need to make this end.’”
“But if he had just started by publicly criticizing, I think that the belief, at least in the Biden administration, is that it might have actually been a moment for Prime Minister Netanyahu to. stand up to the United States and say we don’t take our orders from the United States. We have to do what’s best for our security and kind of use the disagreement with the U.S. as a political rallying cry for himself at home. And so I think this is one of the reasons why the Biden administration chose to, at least at the beginning, publicly support Israel.”
Lies, deceit and manipulation with the aim of empowering Hamas and destroying Israel.
Every single ‘rabbi’ featured on the ‘Jewish Americans for Kamala Harris’ virtually rally organized by Haile Sofer, Kamala’s former adviser, and her Jewish Democratic Council of America, was an anti-Israel activist. Sofer and the JDCA, who had formerly hailed Sen. Schumer’s demand that Israel stop fighting Hamas, celebrated Goldenberg’s appointment.
The Kamala campaign and her political allies are leading a fundamental break with Israel, even before the election, while disguising it with happy talk for the benefit of some of their donors.
The appointment of one of the most persistently hostile foreign policy figures as a ‘liaison’ to the Jewish community sends a powerful message that this administration will be as anti-Israel as him and that Kamala will reconfigure her relationship with American Jews around her anti-Israel policies. Not even Obama went that far. What does it say that Kamala is already doing it now?

I’m not sure that Democrats ever question themselves on anything but one question that I’m certain about one thing. They Never ask is “what are the American People going to think about this?”

Don’t worry, the jino vote will be D on election day.

As well as most of the donation money between now and election day.
I can support Israel. But fck any American Jew who supports the Dems.
Mo de Profit says
What links does he have to the military industrial complex? Tempting Iran with nuclear weapons is perfect for keeping the taxpayer dollars pounds and euros flowing.
Allan Goldstein says
American Jews should hang these kapos, just as the kapos were hanged by the newly liberated Jews in ’45 – ’48.
Roark says
We need a Star Chamber to deal with these reprobates. They need to disappear in the night.
We need a new Jewish brigade to mete out justice to these vile creatures.
John Glueck says
I’m angry too… they will be hanged by those they support in the end…

Wicked, wicked people:
-Kamala is indeed the border czar, but it’s the from-the-river-to-the-sea border czar. She is the voice and face of evil.
-Walz was tapped to be her domestic ethnicity czar.
-Obama, worker of iniquity.
-Goldenberg, another disputational ‘Pablo Christiani’ type Jew used by the administration against Jews. Purportedly circumcised, but obviously assigned a false spiritual identity at birth, and clearly of uncircumcised heart, mind and lips. He spoke the truth behind policy. May 2021 was a sadistic, planned tease. Disgusting. He tracked the course from Obama to Harris accurately.
Wicked, wicked people.
They will fail. No matter what they plan.
The nation of Israel lives.
Israel prays and yearns for all of her beloved children dispersed throughout the world, and held captive in Gaza, to return home.
To quote the end of psalm 53:
When God returns the captivity of His people, Jacob will exalt, Israel will rejoice.
Steve says
This would be as if Kamala had a member of the Westboro Bapist Church as her LGBTQIA liaison. That of course, would never happen because Kamala at least makes the pretense of caring about LGBTQIA (unless they’re shown off a roof in Gaza or Tehran).
RS says
We are definitely at a point where we say, “Our lives matter too, we aren’t going away.”
Allan Goldstein says
What an insult that we would feel a need to say it in the first place. This truth is self evident.
Only the Godless would think otherwise.

“Get Ready for Food Lines/Food Shortages on Day 1 of Kamala” – Michael J. Hurd
“Brace Yoursleves: Kamala REALLY IS a Communist
Kamala is expected to announce the imposition of Soviet-style price controls on food/groceries, in her first 100 days in office. This should truly frighten you…”
Intrepid says
Maybe you should quit whining about conservatives, quit crapping on Trump and help to get him elected.
Personally I think you are voting for Kamala.
Stalin says
Communism doesn’t cause food shortages, how could you be so foolish to believe your own eyes?
TruthLaser says
In Moscow under communism people had to steal light bulbs, not because of their price, but their unavailability, in order to believe their own eyes when lining up in the hope that that line was a food shopping line. The subway had light bulbs to steal.
Motti says
The Times of Israel describes Golderberg as “Israeli-born” and states “He renounced his Israeli citizenship to work in the US government”
Does that not say enough?
Like Ilan Goldenberg, most of Israel’s enemies come from their own tribe. Like Ben Ami of JStreet, Noemi Chazan of New Israel Fund, etc. – the most rabid antisemites and haters of Israel ever!
Allan Goldstein says
There are a lot more Jews moving to Israel than from Israel.
Horace Yo says
Jews like Goldenburg don’t have a monopoly on betraying their people. He is a communist traitor first and a Jew incidentally. Most homegrown non Jewish American communists are traitors to their own people too. Basically all types of communists are traitors to humanity and are working evil as best they can every chance they get. They prefer screwing over their own people.

Slap the Jews. These are Leon Trotsky’s of Jewish origin. These are the fifth son on Passover. The one who says, I wish I could kill you all.

” Lies, deceit and manipulation with the aim of empowering Hamas and destroying Israel. ”
The Laughing Hyena Harris and her Traitorous Pimp Walz need to be crushed and vanquished in November 2024.
Depraved psychopathic murderous Islam has been a scourge on humanity for 1400 years.
Enough already.
Steven Brizel says
Goldenberg is utterly unqualified to be a liason to the American Jewish community-he is an apologist for and appeaser for Iranian based and supported terrorism

Disgusting filth, all of them.
I hope Mosad takes them all out.

TAKE OFF THE KID GLOVES
1. Taking off the gloves is facing the reality of our having a psychopathic enemy and that every previous capitulation for the sake of “peace” has allowed for the deaths and maiming of more
Israelis!
2. Taking off the gloves means knowing that Israel and our people living there are part of a sovereign nation that has the primary responsibility for protecting the people and the borders.
3. Taking off the gloves means the rubber-room left in Israel, who live in a perpetual state of cognitive dissonance, and as such are willing to sacrifice the Israeli people on the altars of their secular, ideological gods are causing irreparable harm. They refuse to acknowledge that their ever-growing self “conception” has led those believing this destructive and errant ideology to influence many others holding important strategic positions in our intelligence agencies, IDF and government. Their results: the current war, the loss of life and the plight of our people held captive.
Taking off the gloves means remembering our collective history and REFUSING to forget how we have repeatedly been treated by the nations no matter how outstanding our contributions and commitments to them.
5. Taking off the gloves means placing extraordinary value on our being returned to our ancient homeland and understanding that thankfulness and gratitude for being here, when after WWII nobody wanted to accept any of us, demands fighting our enemies when necessary with steadfast courage and national resolve–no cowardice allowed!!
And unfortunately there are still many trying desperately to save themselves from reality but many in Israel have finally awakened and the price for doing so a horrendous war and loss of life!!!
Rob A says
Realistically speaking, Hillary Clinton was the last democrat to actively campaign for president. Joe Biden literally sat in his basement while the mainstream media campaigned for him. He made the required physical appearance every now and then but it was the MSM did all the work.
And now they’re doing it again for Kamala Harris who is even worse than Biden at campaigning. In essence the DNC and their MSM sycophants are running a fill-in-the-blank” residential campaign.
If this keeps up then at some point in the not to distant future, the DNC/MSM will run a presidential campaign and name a candidates a few weeks or days before the actual election. But first they’ll run every Tom, Dick and Jane Q. Democrat’s name through a poll to see who get the best polling numbers to determine what name to put on that democrat fill-in-the-blank line on the ballot.
At some point in the not to distant future, polling will replace actual voting. Our election system is already trending in that direction. Even now, people are growing more interested in poll numbers than actual elections. On the bright side, elections will cost far less than they do today. On the dark side, The Marxists (aka democrats) will never lose another election.
In effect, the Marxists will have “legally” taken over America without a single shot being fired in protest. After all, the law is the law and law abiding American citizens will quietly accept Marxist totalitarian rule without much protest and justify it as: “well, they did legally win fair & square.”.
The American chumps (people) got played!!

The Laughing Harris Hyena and her American Traitor Pimp Walz ….
Their Demonic laughter. High pitched psychotic laughter.
Insane laughter like you would hear in a mental institution.
These are very very very dangerous people.

Why do all lefties look like Goldenturd?
I guess they have no shame. If I looked that dorky, I would STFU and never draw attention.
Leftists are SCUM.
James Schultz says
LMAO Imagine if they named one of our aircraft carriers after Kamala (like the carrier named after Obama, quite literally, in Black Ops 2, which I’m playing on PS3 atm).
Talk about projecting an absolute circlejerk.
