It doesn’t happen that often, but occasionally the good guys win one.
I wrote about Sarah Margon all the way back in the spring of 2021.
Margon was active on social media “urging companies to pull out of the Israeli Settlements”, but her hatred for the Jewish State goes beyond an economic war of BDS in all its forms.
When Peter Beinart put out his infamous, “I No Longer Believe in a Jewish State” op-ed, Margon highlighted an excerpt calling for one state and the destruction of Israel.
“Peter Beinart on fire,” she cheered.
That’s Biden’s Assistant Secretary for Human Rights supporting the destruction of Israel.
As Hamas supporters rioted at Israel’s border fence with the terrorist statelet, a New York Times puff piece celebrated one of the rioters who was “screaming ‘Allahu akbar!’ and hurling stones”.
Sarah Margon tweeted a link to it with the comment, “Extra important read when the new US SecState comes out of the gate noting Israel has a right to defend itself.”
After HRW, Sarah Margon joined one of George Soros’ Open Society Foundations as its director of foreign policy advocacy.
Biden has stacked his administration with assorted extremists, including those linked to Soros, but this is one he didn’t get.
It took a while, but under two years later, her nomination has been pulled.
President Joe Biden’s nominee for a top human rights position is withdrawing from contention in the face of unrelenting opposition from a Senate Republican who questions her support for Israel.
Questions her support? She pathologically hates Israel.
“At present, I don’t see a path forward for confirmation, and after 1 ½ years, it’s time to move on,” Margon said in the statement. “I will continue to work on democracy and human rights, and am grateful to President Biden and Secretary [of State Antony] Blinken for their confidence in me and the honor of a nomination.”
Margon faced opposition from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee’s ranking Republican, Jim Risch of Idaho. Risch, citing past tweets of hers, accused Margon of supporting the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, which targets Israel due to its policies toward the Palestinians.
Good for Senator Risch. Politico can cry as hard as it likes, but this is a win for actual human rights.
Margon denied supporting the BDS movement, but her attempts to clarify the tweets didn’t sway Risch. Neither did a letter of support from a bipartisan group of foreign policy professionals, some of them prominent in the Jewish community, who dismissed the anti-Israel allegations against Margon.
Who could that have been? The letter was signed by the head of Soros’ J Street hate group, Rosa Brooks and Ben Rhodes. Yasser Arafat’s rotting corpse apparently wasn’t available. If there’s anyone word we can take on antisemitism, it’s the enablers of antisemitism and the murder of Jews.
“Peter Beinart on fire”
That’s enough to disqualify her right there.
She looks like a man to me. I prefer my chicks to be feminine.
Great to hear some good news.
Anyone with any connections with Soros should never hold any such a job in America.
“Yasser Arafat’s rotting corpse apparently wasn’t available”,. Now that’s a great line, and it’s funny!!!!
SOROS IS DIVISIONIST BARACK OBAMA’S GODFATHER

“Obama would declare himself president for life with Soros really running the show, as he did for the entire Obama presidency.”
“Of course, one of the main reasons the nation is now “divided, resentful and angry” is because race-baiting, Islamist, class warrior Barack Hussein Obama was president for eight long years. MATTHEW VADUM
“Then we suffered the rattling election of Barack Obama, whose active membership in a white-, Jewish-, and America-hating church was well known to the electorate. His close personal relationship with the likes of his adored Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakhan was no secret. Obama was open about his goals. He told us he was out to “fundamentally transform America” and the world.” ALAN BERGSTEIN
This is BO’s 3rd term. He engineered it with the help of a fellow racist, Congressman Jim Clyburn of SC, during the SC Democratic primary. Joe is just his puppet.
