Such an embarrassment for non-Jews to see

Dear Editor:

The other day I was having a conversation with some friends. During the discussion I was asked if I had ever heard of Sidney Blumenthal and his son Max.

I responded, “No, should I have heard of them ?”  

It was suggested to me that I go on line and do a search for my own benefit. Later that day, I did. Well, what an eye opener that was!

According to the information I found, the father, Sidney Blumenthal has been a close adviser to both former President Bill Clinton and also to former Secretary of State and presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton. It turns out that he could easily be classified as a virulent anti-Israel/anti-Semite, outspoken detractor of Israel. I guess some could use the term “a self-hating Jew!”

I wonder what would his grandmother say? That’s always an important question to ask. 

The son, Max, is even worse than the father in terms of his anti-Israel expressions. This is well documented.

I seriously question how someone of the Clintons’ stature could continue to be associated with the likes of the Blumenthals. To have the two of them in positions of influence with Hillary Clinton is very disturbing to me. This doesn’t pass my “Israel security taste test.”

Do the research for yourself. “A shanda fur die goyim,” as they say.
