The Machinations of the Obama Iran Deal, Using Antisemitism

Recently, the editors of Tablet magazine–not a conservative publication–wrote:

The President in a networked phone call murmuring about “money” and “lobbying” and “foreign interests” who seek to drag America into war is a direct attempt to play the dual-loyalty card. It’s the kind of dark, nasty stuff we might expect to hear at a white power rally, not from the President of the United States—and it’s gotten so blatant that even many of us who are generally sympathetic to the administration, and even this deal, have been shaken by it.

But proof by opinion is not, in itself, conclusive. Let us consider, then, the facts:

There is a well-funded lobby that is opposed to the Iran deal. There is no harm in acknowledging that.

There is also, however, a well-funded lobby in favor of the Iran deal–and the president consistently fails to point that out. That suggests the possibility of bias.

True, that might be attributed instead to the typical hypocrisy of partisan discourse: Obama often complains about donations flowing to his opponents, for example, while raking in his own (amidst promises of reform).

Has Obama singled out non-Jewish opponents of the Iran deal in the same way? Yes, in fact, he has, in accusing Republicans of making “common cause” with the “hard-liners” in Iran–a damnable, corrosive slander.

Imperiously, Obama knows what he is doing.

That is not incitement, but what Obama is drumming up relies on antisemitism nonetheless.

Obama’s has not really reckoned with the nature of the enemy with whom he is dealing. These are people for whom hating Jews is more than a slim commitment. It is a total dynamic of life.
