DO ISRAEL A FAVOR AND BACK OFF--PLEASE - APRIL 17, 2016

Don't want your honey and don't want your sting.

Published: Sunday, April 17, 2016 10:29 AM

Something feels rotten when Democrats start talking about Israel. Even their words of support sound fishy.


Bernie says, “Yes, Israel has a right to defend itself.” Wow. How generous. Keep it going like that and better than Brando in “On the Waterfront,” you will remain a contender. You will be somebody. But then he keeps talking and ruins everything. “But I question the disproportionate response.”


That’s approximately a direct quote. I couldn’t keep up as these two kept going at it during the Thursday night main event on CNN.


Well somebody had to watch it, and I did. I did it for you, to spare you the gibberish.  Yes this was some brawl between these two Democrat lightweights. Blitzer had to keep stepping in to keep them apart and the last time I saw anything like this was when Mike Tyson bit somebody’s ear off in the ring. (Evander Holyfield.)


The two contenders left standing for the Liberal side faced off over the banks, Wall Street, the economy, race relations, the minimum wage, gun control, but I can’t recall who was in favor of this or against that, because I do not believe a word of it anyway.


They’ll say anything to get elected and do unto us what Obama has been doing over the past nearly eight years – only double.


I do know that they love abortion, adore mass legal and illegal immigration, and have no problem with terrorists.


I took notes, but not fast enough to catch anything on foreign affairs, like say Iran, Iraq, Syria, North Korea or any of the other places that pose a danger to themselves and to the United States of America…not to mention Israel. My mistake. Israel is always mentioned. Israel always comes up.


The world has become a small place for Liberals. There’s us, and there’s Israel, and seldom in a good way. But hold on.


Hillary came back to say…I’m not sure what it was, but it sounded like she was taking Israel’s side, more or less.


Hillary, who takes advice from people like Sid Blumenthal and other anti-Israel hotshots, said Israel has a right to do anything to stop the bombing.



Which Hillary would we be getting if she gets herself to the White House heaven forbid? Bernie we know. Oh Bernie we know.
Or was that Trump? Yes it was Trump speaking someplace else. Go Trump!

But Hillary was not about to let Bernie get the upper hand on who’s the bigger fake Zionist.


She said, “Hamas uses human shields because Gaza is so densely populated. They have no choice.”


No, wait. That was January two years ago when Hillary excused Arab terrorism and placed the entire blame on the Jewish State.


Fast forward to Thursday night, and NOW she says quite the opposite, that Israel is on the spot against an enemy that uses every dirty trick in the book.


Or something like that, according to my notes. But clearly she was reaching for the Herzl Prize.

Which Hillary would we be getting if she gets herself to the White House heaven forbid? Bernie we know. Oh Bernie we know.


At a time when Israel needs a true and firm friend from the United States, both of these pretenders remain lukewarm, two-faced and hypocritical. Neither of them seems capable of getting it straight when
it comes Israel, a condition that seems to afflict so many Liberals from the top all the way across.


So why not just back off?


Israel, which ranks as the world’s sixth happiest country, does not need all that attention, not your curses or even your blessings.


As Rashi has it terms of an insect for the hypocritical Balaam: “I don’t want your honey and I don’t want your sting.”

"JEWS FOR BERNIE" - REALLY? APRIL 13, 2016

It can't be serious, it's almost like "Jews for Korach."

Published: Wednesday, April 13, 2016 11:58 PM

Honest, I don’t know if it’s ever been this bad. Every day I read something that makes it seem like American Jews have lost their minds.


Listen to this: “What he stands for is what my Judaism has been about my whole life,” Jeff Marker, a Jewish Renewal rabbi from Brooklyn, said in an interview at the brunch. “Social justice, and understanding that peace and security for Israel only comes when there is peace and justice for Palestinians.”


That came from a “Jews for Bernie” brunch in Manhattan, covered by JTA, and typifies what was being said at an event that could have been named “Jews for Farrakhan.”

Consider me in the dark as to what the heck is going on with my landsmen here in America.

Obviously there is something I’m not getting when I hear “peace and justice for the Palestinians” as if it’s Israel’s fault for every Arab stabbing attack.


What is a “Jewish Renewal rabbi” anyway? What’s there to renew after 3,500 years? Is Bernie coming to renew with his new blood libel?


He told the New York Daily News that he really wasn’t sure what happened in Gaza back in 2014. "Anybody help me out here, because I don't remember the figures, but my recollection is over 10,000 innocent people were killed in Gaza. Does that sound right?"


That remark alone should have cancelled the event on the spot.

But the “Jews for Bernie” showed up and keep showing up as I insist in this thriller that’s begun selling out where it’s not boycotted for being too “anti-Hamas.”


With Jews like that, who needs BDS? In fact these so-called Jews are BDS and certainly they are cheerleaders for SJP, Students for Justice in
About 80 percent voted for Obama twice. Does this mean that 80 percent have fully converted from Judaism to Liberalism?
‘Palestine’…and never mind that it’s these thugs who are tormenting Jewish kids on Campus…obviously with a handshake from “Jews for Bernie” and a pat on the back from Bernie himself.


For my part, I choose to believe that we’re talking about a minority among my landsmen. Most American Jews are not that far gone.


We have hope. We have Zionists among us, people who understand that a strong Israel means a strong America.


Let’s recall the high number of Americans who rushed to Israel at the coming of every war. Plenty would do so again.


But so what do I do with this picture? About 80 percent voted for Obama twice. Does this mean that 80 percent have fully converted from Judaism to Liberalism?


I refuse to buy this. We, the people of the Book, the people who produce Einsteins, cannot have lost our good senses in a single generation.


Actually, this is not so new after all. Our history is full of rebellious sons. Our Book itself tells about uprisings, yes, even outside of America.


Our Book of Scriptures devotes an entire chapter to Korach and his revolt against Moses.


So we had them right from the start and the Torah does not shy from mentioning them by name.


Korach wasn’t alone. Korach was joined by other malcontents who came as “Jews for Bernie.”


Our sages of 2,000 years ago, the men who during the Age of Rome compiled our liturgies, were so threatened by turncoats that they added the following to our 18 Benedictions: “May there be no hope for informers.” King David suffered greatly from scoffers, including Torah giant Doeg, and his own father-in-law, King Saul.


So it runs in the family, I suppose. But those were exceptions.


According to the rules, the majority of us stayed true to our kinsmen, our faith, our love of Zion.


So I’ll stick to the belief that the “Jews for Bernie” are (allegorically) destined for the same pit that swallowed the “Jews for Korach

NEW YORK NOT YOUR KIND OF TOWN, BERNIE OR HILLARY - APRIL 10, 2016

New York can't be romanced with a smile and a shine.

Published: Sunday, April 10, 2016 10:17 PM

Stay off our streets. Please. We don’t tolerate fakers, pretenders and phonies who come as if they belong but never paid their dues.


Riding our subways, eating our hot dogs, mingling with the locals in Brooklyn and the Bronx – you can’t really suppose that’ll do the trick.


So forget your posters and slogans that wowed them in Bridgewater, Iowa.


We’re wise to the difference between the real deal and a yokel. We may be smart-alecky and brash, but we visit the sick and we’ll also give you the shirt off our back.

We’ll take that instead of the smooth-talk that brings blood-libelous false charges against the Jewish people, Bernie.


We have no tolerance for backstabbers.


We’ll match our rudeness against your snoozing while Benghazi burned, Hillary.


We can spot a flim flam routine a mile away.


We have enough Three Card Monte Street Hustlers. Or had them until Rudy busted them, once and for all, or so we thought, until you two came along… came along schnorring for votes and whoring for Primary delegates toward a Democratic National Convention that misses no opportunity to jeer the Jewish State whenever Israel is mentioned.


In “The Days of the Bitter End,” the best novel I ever wrote about the days of my youth in New York, I said that the same thrills can never come round again.



We don’t like sneaks, Bernie, and we don’t like cheats, Hillary.
Still true – but also true that this is still a town of big dreams. New York is always different but New York is always the same. No time for Babbitts who come with a Willy Loman pitch to sell goods that what nobody wants. New Yorkers can’t get romanced with a smile and a shine.


We invented Advertising and the Huckster trade, right there on Mad Ave., but we don’t like sneaks, Bernie, and we don’t like cheats, Hillary.

That is so backwoods, so Hicksville. Rehearsals are over. This is Broadway, remember. You can’t make it there with an act so sleazy.

Small-timers, singles hitters, don’t get cheered around here. A strike out is okay. It proves you tried. But hypocrites have no shot.


Not today and not then, back when New York was my New York and Lenny Bruce (as I wrote) was shpritzing his Seven Forbidden Words on Bleecker.

No, New York never changed. Not really. The young got older, that’s all. It can be a town without pity but mostly it’s a big-hearted town. Everybody gets a chance and it’s always worth a try. Some succeed. Many fail. That’s not New York’s fault. That’s life.


Bill de Blasio, you say? Or Mayor Pu**, as the New York Post calls him – yes, that was a mistake. Don’t expect us to do it again with more corrupt Liberals.


We’re big. It’s the Democrat Party that got small. Listen to this:

“America will pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.”


That was JFK, of course, Hillary. That was a Democrat without the Socialist/Communism, Bernie.


Please don’t bring up the joke about the out of towner on Broadway who asks: “Excuse me, Sir, can you tell me how to get to 72nd Street?”


“Or should I just go to hell and take a hike?”


Funny, maybe, but it’ll do for a hint.

TIME TO CALL BERNIE MOST DANGEROUS MAN IN AMERICA - APRIL 6,2016

Bernie presents a clear and present danger.

Published: Wednesday, April 06, 2016 8:21 PM

The joke is over. Done. Finished. Time to quit laughing. What a creepy character this man has turned out to be.


After that comment accusing Israel of “killing 10,000 innocents in Gaza,” Bernie Sanders is no longer a cuddly, lovable old man. His ability to charm millions, this time with an awesome blood libel, Bernie, this Communist Senator from Vermont, is now officially the creepiest and most dangerous man in America.


He speaks. People listen. Millions pay attention. He tells socialist fairytales, people swoon.


So now he’s into full-blown “Jews poisoned the wells” territory. Now, as Jewish students are being tormented on campus by BDS and SJP bullies, and as BDS piles up boycott-Israel wins throughout the United States and around the world -- Bernie piles it on with stereotypes borrowed from the darkest of the Dark Ages.


Bernie presents a clear and present danger. He is toxic and he is poisonous. Who thought the day would come when I would root for Hillary, at least among the decaying Democrats. Last night he won Wisconsin. That makes it seven out of eight primaries for his campaign, which brought in $44 million in a single month.


His influence is big, especially toward the young. His lies are bigger.

This Pied Piper has turned to indoctrinating a whole new generation with eye-rolling canards.

From rally to rally, he corrupts everywhere he goes. Every word of his is false.



Bernie does not know what the hell he is talking about. But he keeps on talking and people keep listening and believing this mamzer.
Overnight and day after day, kids who know nothing are being converted to smash-mouth Jew-hatred by an old coot who knows nothing.


He told the New York Daily News that he really wasn’t sure what happened in Gaza back in 2014. "Anybody help me out here, because I don't remember the figures, but my recollection is over 10,000 innocent people were killed in Gaza. Does that sound right?"


No, Bernie, that sounds wrong – and we won’t even begin to explain that at the time Israel was being bombarded with thousands of rockets from Hamas in Gaza. More than two million Israelis had to run for their lives every hour on the hour until Israel finally had to do something to make this stop –here for the drama of it all.


In other words, Bernie does not know what the hell he is talking about. But he keeps on talking and people keep listening and believing this mamzer.


The kids who flock to him now have anti-Semitism validated through Bernie Sanders, the one-man wrecking crew who knows nothing about anything. His interview at the Daily News, as
ridiculed here by The Washington Post, revealed him to be clueless on everything. Everything!


On the economy, on Wall Street, on social issues, on foreign affairs, he proved himself to be totally in the dark. Bernie Sanders is a fraud.


He spent nearly two decades in Congress. He accomplished nothing. Zero. Except to promote Communism (along with anti-Semitism) as a cure for America.


Thanks, Bernie, and do fill us in.


Tell us more about the glories of Stalin and the Castro brothers and the millions they’ve murdered and enslaved to make that system work.


Call it socialism, call it Communism, it never worked and it never will, and whatever our ills, we’ll keep Democracy, thank you.


Bernie Sanders is a joke. The question is whether the kids are really buying his routine or whether they’re laughing at him.


He is what we used to call “a happening.” He’s fun. He’s a sit-in. He’s a love-in. He is flower power.


He brings back the 1960s, which gave us the good, the bad and the ugly.


Bernie Sanders has chosen ugly. That may be all he has to give.


Even among the Democrats there ought to be something better than this creep whom we now find so terrible and so absolutely dangerous.

WHY TRUMP AND ONLY TRUMP CAN BEAT HILLARY - MARCH 10, 2016

The others are good guys, but no one knows them.

Published: Thursday, March 10, 2016 9:45 PM

The crux of it is that Hillary Clinton is the most famous woman in America. To beat her in the general election you will need someone equally famous.


Does the name Kasich come to mind? Rubio? Cruz?


Americans don’t know these people.

They’re good guys, as good as anyone, I suppose, but they are strangers and have no shot.


You and me – we watch Fox News, occasionally CNN and MSNBC for the laughs, but our neighbors are watching “Dancing with the Stars.”


So it’s Trump and only Trump and only Trump is as well-known as Hillary the crook.

It should not be that way, I know. It should be about issues and sometimes it is, but mostly it isn’t. It’s about fame.


Anybody will do so long as that yenta doesn’t get it in.
Americans – we gravitate to fame. Maybe it’s the same all over, but in this country it’s like King Solomon said; a good name is more precious than silver and gold.


Don’t look to me for an endorsement. So this is not a pitch to Vote Trump.

This is a pitch to vote for anybody except Hillary.



Anybody will do so long as that yenta doesn’t get it in. Imagine getting up in the morning to that scold! Four years of that? Eight years?


Republicans who say they are staying home if Trump gets the nomination, your peeve, your snit may well come crashing upon all our heads.


How stupid! How selfish!


So happens that I do like Trump; liked him from the start. He’s too brash, too unscripted? That’s what I like. No teleprompter for him.


We’ve already got the perfect politician sitting in the White House – how’s that working out?


Ditto Hillary the opportunist. She’ll say anything to make a sale. Even people who vote for her do not like her. Nobody likes her. Bill doesn’t like her and what a disgrace to find a former President of the United States, instead of sitting grandly retired, there he is, from coast to coast, reduced to pimping for votes.


No wonder. She needs all the help she can get, so in this age where everybody gets a gold star, she calls it a triumph even when she loses.


The other day she lost Michigan to Bernie Sanders, the Communist Senator from Vermont. Did she give a concession speech?


No, she gave a victory speech.


The Republicans do likewise. Kasich, Cruz and Rubio keep losing and keep explaining how it is they really won.


They give victory speeches for coming in second, third and fourth.


No guys, you lost. Trump won.


To keep him going and to save us from Hillary or any Democrat in the next White House – think Hollywood.


When the studios spend millions to bring out a picture they need a big name, a star, to “open.”


To “open” means to attract moviegoers with a familiar name, like say Tom Hanks, and thus guarantee automatic box office.


Yes, Tom Hanks can open for the movies.


Donald Trump and only Donald Trump can open for the White House.

STOPPING BERNIE: WHERE ARE THE ANTI-SEMITES WHEN WE NEED THEM? - FEBRUARY 11, 2016

 Bernie is not harmless, he is dangerous, and for more reasons than one.

Published: Thursday, February 11, 2016 9:40 AM

Seriously? Yes, seriously. After trouncing Hillary in New Hampshire, Bernie Sanders could go all the way – even to the White House.


Never thought I’d say that, but there it is, kids, and speaking of kids, 84 percent of the Youth Vote went to Bernie.


College kids love him, which makes no sense. Do they know he’s Jewish?


From the Campus Front Lines we have it that our universities are turning out a generation of anti-Semites, due to an infiltration, a plague, an infestation of brutes sent over from Arab lands… Yes, BDS, SJP or whatever else they call themselves to make life miserable for Jewish students.


So with that many of the non-Jewish (and some Jewish) young infected with the virus – how to explain their love for Bernie?


Or are we mistaken? It’s really not that bad for Jewish kids on campus. Oh but it is. It’s terrible. I’ve just met a few sophomores and seniors. We talked.



Bernie is mostly anti-Israel, and that makes him cool.
Later I will disclose some possible solutions we arrived at to combat the terror on campus, but meanwhile there’s Bernie.


They’re all in for Bernie despite everything. He’s Jewish but among anti-Semites it’s okay to be Jewish so long as you are not too Jewish.


Bernie is mostly anti-Israel, and that makes him cool. He boycotted Bibi’s address to Congress, is for splitting Israel in half and against supplying the Jewish State with needed weaponry. Did you hear? In his 50-minute New Hampshire victory speech he paused from politics for a personal touch.


He said that he was brought up by parents who came from Poland, period. So he was raised by Polish parents. Not Jewish. Necessarily.


Please notice that campus bullies never target Polish students. So Bernie left it at that and the kids kept cheering.


Do they know anything else about him? Well, he is not Hillary and between you and me, that could be his big secret. Nobody likes Hillary.


It is no secret however that he is a socialist, which makes him a Communist. I am still catching raves and flak from what I wrote about all this in a recent column. But I repeat that this country cannot afford another Democrat in the White House, neither Hillary nor Bernie.


Do they love Bernie because he appears to be a harmless old man? Socialists are never harmless, old or young.


Obama is young and look what he did to us.


Do they love Bernie because he intends give everything away for free, even college tuition?

Kids adore that kind of talk. Kids tend to be Liberal. Later they will be asked to pay 90 percent of their incomes for taxes. (Bernie says so.)


Meanwhile they are young, young and in love, in love with Bernie.


No, appearances to the country, Bernie is not harmless. Bernie is dangerous.


So are all those 1960s Radicals who aim to bring back some of that old time religion, Liberal Dogma, the hazards of which we covered in thisthriller that foretold the damage being done to our young through professorial, political and cultural indoctrination. That is why the kids know nothing. They sure don’t know socialism.


People who love the idea of a Jewish President – do you know what you are asking?  His first job will be to prove how un-Jewish he can be. Think Kissinger.


If you think Israel is in the doghouse now with President Obama, just wait for President Sanders.


When he makes a mistake, as Presidents always do, he won’t be a liberal anymore. He won’t be Polish. He will be a Jew.


If by chance he shows any sign of favoritism for the Jewish State, be prepared for anti-Semites to come storming out of the closet.


Better, I say, to have them show their true colors now, or better yet, disperse and disappear.

Rather now than later, when it will be too late.

MEMO TO IDIOTS CHEERING BERNIE AND HILLARY - FEBRUARY 5, 2016

Communism sucks. Socialism does too. Ask the people who survived both systems.

Published: Friday, February 05, 2016 8:07 AM

As Fidel came to power in 1959, how many Americans slid onto rafts to get into Cuba? Or took the last ship to Havana? I’ll need actual names.


Attention to all you college kids out there so starry-eyed for Bernie – are you serious?


But you’re young. Far and wide you’ve been educated by Liberal pro-BDS professors, so you’re not expected to know too much except that the two most reliable beacons of tolerance and liberty, the United States and Israel, are on the wrong side of history.


Pure brainwashing, but you will grow up. There is no excuse however for people already grown up who still cheer for Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton.


You really think socialism is okay?


Let’s be clear. There is no difference between socialists, liberals and progressives. They are all Communists, or shades of the same mentality.


Either way, it’s about taking from the rich and giving it to the poor in order to make everybody equal, meaning equally miserable. It’s also about a one-man show. No checks. No balances. Like Obama visiting a Baltimore mosque to offer Muslims his love and concern.


But Obama visited no synagogue to share Jewish grief for loved ones being slain in Israel, most recently the 19-year-old woman of valor Hadar Cohen.


Nor has Mr. Obama ever shared concern for Jews being tormented on campus.

One man, one rule, can be so arbitrary.


Communism sucks. Ask the people who lived there. Call it by its more pleasant and more acceptable name, socialism; same answer. Unbearable.

The only people who win under that system are the medaled guys on the Kremlin balcony waving down to the impoverished suckers.



The system is so rotten that even Putin isn’t a socialist/Communist anymore. Russia gave it up, more or less, for its own type of free enterprise.
The system works beautifully for those who rule. Like Stalin and all the rest. They get the fat. The people get the lean. If that much.


The rulers own chalets and mistresses and vacation on the Riviera. The masses stand miles deep waiting for a loaf of bread.


That’s the deal Bernie and Hillary are selling. In fact the two of them are out there dueling for the most extreme spot on the Left.


The system is so rotten that even Putin isn’t a socialist/Communist anymore. Russia gave it up, more or less, for its own type of free enterprise


The people actually living under Communism hated the damned thing. The Soviets needed tanks to keep the folks roped in.


The burghers of East Berlin looked over at West Berlin and asked, why can’t we too have food, clothing, bright lights, big cities – freedom and chocolates?


Since the turn of the 1900s, we’ve always had Americans infatuated by the lures of Marxist-Leninism so long as they remained infatuated from Beverly Hills, or Fifth Avenue. These fellow travelers gushed for Communism from such places as The New York Times and The New York Review of Books.


Would they actually want to live in a Communist Paradise? Are you kidding? Leave my table at Saju Bistro and Katz’s Deli?


The Times did have a particularly famous correspondent who reported from the Soviet Union. That was Walter Duranty. Yes he did win a Pulitzer. But he remains famous for whitewashing the sins of Communism, like forgetting to mention the 1932-1933 widespread famines in the USSR, particularly the mass starvation in the Ukraine.


More recently Warren Beatty comes to mind as among our elites so taken in by “Reds,” the name of a (1981) movie he made about American John Reed who went over to Russia to join the Socialist Revolution. Beatty made it seem so romantic and dandy. Notice, however, that after the filming and following the Oscar for Best Director, Beatty still lunches at Wolfgang Puck’s Spago.


Communism sounds terrific, but only from a dreamy distance.

For some reason, to this day the attraction still holds among the young and the stupid.

There is no cure, I suppose, for such a grand delusion.


I once worked for a guy in Philly who, as usual, called himself a socialist but was, as usual, actually a Communist.


Over coffee, I said, “But Lou, don’t you know that Stalin murdered 90 million of his own people?”

“He did not!” Lou shot back in Stalin’s defense. “Only 60 million.”


Who can argue with that?
