Kamala Harris Picks Terror Supporter as "Liaison" to American Jews

A member of John Kerry's team under President Barack Obama, whose biased attacks on Israel and support for Iran and Islamic terrorists in Israel helped lead to the current regional crisis, [Ilan] Goldenberg had spent the years leading up to October 7, 2023 doing everything possible to make the Hamas attack happen.
He had urged that more money should go into the Hamas territory and argued that Israel should allow in workers from Gaza. "You used to have 25,000, 100,000 Gazans working inside Israel. That needs to happen again." That led to Oct 7.
Harris's new Jewish "liaison" opposed every single pro-Israel move by both Republicans and Democrats, whether it was moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, or even cutting off aid to the "pay-for-slay" program of the Palestinian Authority. Instead, he urged anti-Israel moves, including a unilateral recognition of a "Palestinian" state on Israel's territory.
Goldenberg had been a vocal proponent of the Iran nuclear deal, and attended an event by National Iranian American Council (NIAC): the Iran lobby. He had argued that, "In the aftermath of a successful nuclear deal, U.S. relations with Iran should shift from that of an adversary to that of a competitor."
And Goldenberg had been part of the team that was responsible for and had defended the Obama administration's opposition to Israel at the UN.
Previous Jewish liaisons were usually involved with Jewish communal life and could speak to a variety of issues. Goldenberg is simply an anti-Israel activist whose only issues are empowering Iran and Hamas.
Instead of selecting someone from the Jewish community or any of her political aides, Harris chose someone whose sole function will be to justify her anti-Israel policies to the Jewish community, and who will filter any efforts by the Jewish community to push back against them.
During the 2021 battles with Hamas, Goldenberg explained why Biden was only pretending to support Israel.
Lies, deceit and manipulation with the aim of empowering Hamas and destroying Israel.
The Kamala campaign and her political allies are leading a fundamental break with Israel, even before the election, while disguising it with happy talk for the benefit of some of their donors.
The appointment of one of the most persistently hostile foreign policy figures as a 'liaison' to the Jewish community sends a powerful message that this administration will be as anti-Israel as him and that Kamala will reconfigure her relationship with American Jews around her anti-Israel policies. Not even Obama went that far. What does it say that Kamala is already doing it now?
