Congressman Jerry Nadler, "Worse than Kapo Jew"

Submitted by Robert (United States), Dec 18, 2016 at 20:49

Dear Daniel Pipes,

I just read your first paragraph, and I knew I was on the right track.
Immediately before that I was reading Congressman Jerry Nadler, and his rejection of the appointment of David Friedman as Ambassador to Israel (link below) by President-Elect Donald Trump.

That made me want to be the first to comment here.

Nadler just objected to the appointment on the grounds that Friedman described certain American Jews as worse than Kapos. This of course is Politically Incorrect.

Nevertheless, one needs to observe that many American Jews, including the American Jewish Committee did not support Zionism, fearing in part accusations of dual loyalty, of being accused of not being truly American.

During WWII certain Jews collaborated with the Nazis, a time when Jews had no choice but death. They are collectively known as Kapos.

However, today American Jews have the luxury of living in the United States as full citizens. And some of these American Jews have determined that the Jews in Israel must or should live, right away, as neighbors of Palestinians next door, in a new Palestinian state. This has been decided in the context of the Knife Intifada. Not not only that, but at a time when the Arab Spring is still unfolding into a Muslim Nightmare.

Congressman Jerry Nadler, Democrat of New York (my state) is one of those who still advocates a Two-State Solution. To me, that sounds like a bit milder version of the Final Solution (German: Endlösung) of Nazi Germany. But since Nadler is free to let Israelis decide their own fate, through their own legislature, the Knesset, doesn't that fact make him worse than a Kapo, a point that, though politically incorrect, is arguably true, a point made by implication by Conservative Jewish bankruptcy lawyer David Freedman ?
