Reema Dodin Terrorist Supporting Bitch

Jihad Watch : āBut it was so long ago when she said that. Eighteen years! Canāt
people change?ā Yes, weāll get to that excuse a bit later on. āReema
Dodin to be first Palestinian-American White House staffer,ā by Tzvi
Joffre, Jerusalem Post, November 25, 2020:
Reema Dodin is a Palestinian-American who will
serve alongside Shuwanza Goff as a deputy director of the White House
Office of Legislative Affairs, President-elect Joe Biden announced on
November 23.
Dodin will be the first Palestinian-American to serve as a White House staffer, according to Palestinian media.
The new White House staffer was born to Jordanian-Palestinian
immigrants in the US. Dodinās family is originally from Dura, near
Hebron, according to Palestinian media.
Why is Dodin not a āJordanian-American,ā or more accurately still,
simply an āAmericanā? Itās because the āPalestinianā refugee identity
has uniquely been treated as something that can be handed down from
generation to generation. Henry Kissinger is a German Jewish refugee.
His son, born in America, is not. Vladimir Nabokov was a Russian
refugee; his son Dmitri, born in Berlin, was not. But the grandchildren,
the great-grandchildren, and so on, apparently forever, of āPalestinian
refugeesā ā born and raised all over the world ā continue to be
considered āPalestinian refugees,ā and remain, most beneficially for
themselves, on UNRWAās rolls. Of the tens of millions of refugees since
World War II, only one group ā the āPalestiniansā ā have this amazing
ability to inherit from their parents and grandparents the status of
āPalestinian refugees.ā Only 30,000 real refugees ā those who left
Mandatory Palestine/Israel between 1947 and 1949 ā are still alive. But
according to the U.N., once you count up all the descendants of those
who left Mandatory Palestine/Israel, there are five million āPalestinian
refugees.ā Indeed, Reema Dodin herself could right now be on those
rolls and receive aid from UNRWA, for she, too, counts as a āPalestinian
refugee,ā despite her parents being Jordanian citizens and she herself
being born in the U.S.
Dodin served as deputy chief of staff to
Democratic Senator Richard Durbin and has also served on the Judiciary
Subcommittee on Human Rights and the Law, among other positions.
She is a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley
and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She is also a
Truman National Security Fellow, a New Leaders Council Fellow, an Aspen
Socrates alum, a former term member of the Council on Foreign Relations,
and a member of the Jenkins Hill Society ā a consortium of women in
politics supporting female politicians.ā
A careerist, forsooth, a winner of fellowships in an age of
hypertrophied insistence upon ādiversity and inclusiveness,ā and a
joiner, who knows just what to join, someone who unobtrusively climbs,
step after step, the ladder of political success. A cheerful, smiling,
industrious and eye-on-the-main-chance Palestinian-American Sammy Glick.
So ask yourself: what makes Reema run?
During the Second Intifada, in 2002, Dodin spoke
about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict with residents of Lodi,
California, saying that āsuicide bombers were the last resort of a
desperate people,ā according to the Lodi News-Sentinel.
In 2001, Dodin took part in a demonstration at UC Berkeley
calling for the university to divest from Israel, according to the
Berkeley Daily Planet, a local news publication. The demonstrators
compared Israel to apartheid South Africaā¦.
What shall we say about this appalling choice? Yes, I know, sheās not
being made Secretary of State or National Security Adviser, but as one
of two deputy directors of the White House Office of Legislative
Affairs, she will be in a position to keep track of proposed or
impending or about-to-be-voted on legislation about Israel, Palestinian
Authority, Hamas, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, the whole Middle Eastern
works. She will know which Congressmen are āon our [Palestinian] side,ā
who can be persuaded to move toward the Palestinian position, who
supports Israel and cannot be moved; sheās in the perfect place to
inform or warn her allies in the pro-Palestinian camp of whatās to come,
and how best to promote or stop it. Sheāll know whatās going on in each
office in Congress: whoās in, whoās out, and where are the snows of
yesteryear. Halie Soifer, a former Hill aide who now serves as executive
director of the National Jewish Democratic Council, referred to Dodin
as āa fixture of the Senate, who knows whatās happening in the Senate
before most senators do.ā Think about that last remark for a minute.
For several years, she worked as the Deputy Chief of Staff for
Senator Dick Durbin, who tweeted his pleasure over the appointment:
āExcited that my Floor Director, Reema Dodin, will be joining
President-elect Bidenās Leg Affairs team. She is smart, trusted, &
has the respect of members on both sides of the aisle. Reema is just
what our new President needs to help him in the Senate. Thrilled with
the appointment.ā
Durbin used to be a strong supporter of Israel. But in the last few
years, he has become noticeably less so. He did not vote to condemn UNSC Resolution 2334,
a grotesque anti-Israel resolution adopted by the Security Councilās
kangaroo court on Dec. 23, 2019, after Samantha Power did as instructed
from Washington, and abstained, rather than veto the bill. A parting
fillip to Israel by Barack Obama. Durbin even held up a Senate
resolution to condemn UNSC Resolution 2334, as was revealed by his
fellow Democrat, Senator Tom Udall of New Mexico. Durbin voted āNayā on
the Strengthening Americaās Security in the Middle East Act of 2019,
which had mainly to do with military aid to Israel. He was one of only
23 Senators to do so, with almost all the pro-Israel Senators voting for
the bill. Durbin now believes the āsettlements are illegal.ā He has
never mentioned, and appears unaware of, the significance of the Mandate
for Palestine and the territories assigned by the League of Nations to
the future Jewish National Home, which include all of Judea and Samaria
(a/k/a the āWest Bankā). Nor does he appear to understand what U.N.
Resolution 242 was all about ā as explained by its author, British
Ambassador to the U.N. Lord Caradon ā which was to ensure that Israel
could retain territories won in the ārecent conflictā (the Six-Day War)
that it needed if it was to have, in that Resolutionās key phrase,
āsecure [i.e. defensible] and recognized boundaries.ā
I suspect Senator Durbin has been greatly influenced by in recent
years by his Deputy Chief of Staff, the āJordanian-Palestinianā or
āPalestinian-Americanā Ms. Reema Dodin, articulate, well-organized, a
master of parliamentary procedure, a pleasure to work with, who has
provided Senator Durbin with a different āperspectiveā on the
Arab-Israeli dispute. Now he has been told, I have a feeling, from Ms.
Dodin, of the āterrible plightā of the āPalestinian people,ā knows that
there are things he can learn from the personal testimony she is ready
to provide ā goodness, what luck to have someone who can testify, almost
at first-hand, about what the āPalestinian peopleā have endured. Reema
Dodin is pleased to set him straight. To wit, I would guess, sheās
explained that āsettlements are illegalā as āthe U.N. has said so many
times,ā that āif there is ever to be a genuine peace,ā then Israel must
go back to something close to the 1949 armistice lines, back to that
nine-mile-wide waist from Qalqilya to the sea, that the āPalestinian
peopleā have suffered terribly; that the only way that peace will come
is if there are ātwo states, living side by side in peace,ā and itās
long past time that Israel accepted āthe outstretched hand of peace that
the Palestinians have been offering for so long.ā Just imagine over how
many weeks, months, years of working so diligently for him, how many
occasions there must have been for her to provide a stealthy stillicide
of misrepresentation and misinformation. Reema Dodin has managed as a
real āPalestinianā to serve as his native informant, all the while
gently, carefully, first a little thence to more, providing her
impressionable boss with the Palestinian Received Version of the
Arab-Israel. dispute. āWell done, thou good and faithful servantā
someone in Ramallah must be saying on hearing the news of her
appointment, and as for CAIR, how could it not be delighted?
Given her intolerable remark, her appointment raises questions.
Did Biden not know when he appointed Reema D., that she had once
offered an appeal for āunderstandingā suicide bombers ā almost
justifying them as driven to such acts because there was simply no other
way for them to express their despair: āsuicide bombers are the last
resort of a desperate peopleā? Or did he not know, which raises
questions about the transition teamās vetting of candidates? Think about
that. Suicide bombers are the last resort of a ādesperate people.ā
There are hundreds of millions of desperate people in this world, and
they do not resort to āsuicide bombings.ā Think of the Christians
persecuted in many Muslim lands: Pakistan, Egypt, Iran, Nigeria.. Have
any of them ever resorted to āsuicide bombingsā? When Jewish refugees
were desperate to get to Mandatory Palestine, before, during, and after
World War II, but were prevented from doing so by the British ā in
direct violation of Great Britainās duty as Mandatory to āfacilitateā
Jewish immigration ā did any those tragic Jewish refugees turned back
ever become āsuicide bombersā? Did Zionists in England, driven half-mad
by the British refusal to rescue their coreligionists by letting them
into Palestine, ever engage in the āsuicide bombingā of crowds in
Selfridges or Oxford Street or the Burlington Arcade or the
Victoria-and-Albert Hall? Do the truly desperate people, far more
wretched and desperate than the Palestinians ā in Bolivia or Haiti or
the Congo or Nepal, blow themselves up in a crowd of visiting NGO
dignitaries because they needed to be heard, and that was only way they
could get the indifferent worldās attention, with this ālast resort of a
desperate peopleā?
Of course, the Palestinians are not exactly ādesperateā in the sense
of not being attended to. Their cause is a regular item on the U.N.ās
docket; itās discussed, as Agenda Item #7, at every session of the UNHRC
(U.N. Human Rights Council). The Palestinians are the object of more
sympathetic attention than any other group in the world; they are not
ādesperateā for attention. Palestinian suicide bombers donāt need to
attract the worldās attention ā they already have that ā they simply
want to kill as many Jews as they can.
Letās keep in mind that what Reema Dodin said was much more sinister
than her expressing her support for the Palestinian Arabs, or her
conviction ā assuming she has it ā that Israel was built on āoccupied
land,ā or that Israel must āreturn to the 1949 armistice lines.ā No, she
said that she understood what led Palestinians to become suicide
bombers ā these were the ālast resort of a desperate people.ā Reema
Dodin was explaining ā and justifying ā the cold-blooded murder of
innocent civilians.
