Meet Jeb Bush's Anti-Semitic Foreign Policy Advisor

by JASmius


You all probably know him already, as he's an old Bush family friend:

Leading talk show host and best-selling author Mark Levin assailed Jeb Bush last night over the revelation that one of his top foreign policy advisers, James Baker, will keynote an anti-Israel conference this weekend.

The annual conference of the [extremist] group J Street features an array of anti-Israel speakers, including proponents of the Boycott, Sanctions, and Divest (BDS) movement, which seeks Israel’s destruction, and advocates for the terrorist group Hamas.

Jeb Bush’s selection of Baker as a foreign policy adviser has sparked concern among conservatives and in the Jewish and pro-Israel communities. Baker is infamous for his hostility to Israel, having said during his tenure as secretary of state in the George H.W. Bush administration, “Fuck the Jews, they don’t vote for us anyway.” Baker is also a supporter of [Barack] Obama’s Iran negotiations.

“Jim Baker, much like Barack Obama, has always had a hate on for Israel,” Levin said. “This antipathy toward Israel is well documented. Baker wanted the U.S. to punish Israel for destroying Iraq’s Osirak nuclear reactor [in a 1981 airstrike that preempted Saddam Hussein having nuclear weapons to use against us in Kuwait, and against Israel, a decade later]. He hated Netanyahu as early as 1990, barring him from entering the State Department’s building. And last but not least, Baker co-wrote the Iraq Study Group’s 2006 paper that recommended among other things that the United States tilt its foreign policy away from Israel and toward Syria and Iran — advice that Obama seems to have taken to heart.”

Haven't we had enough of anti-Israel antipathy and Jew-hatred and jihadi-symp-ism vomiting out of the White House?  Haven't we had enough of presidential sellouts of our allies and embracing of our enemies?

Haven't we had enough of the Bushes?  To last several lifetimes?  Because Jeb will drag all the RINOism, and now, apparently, another stout snootful of anti-Semitism, and all the other Bush baggage along with him.

Put another way, don't we want to change the nation's suicidal direction?  How would nominating and electing Bush III possibly accomplish that?
