Pro-Carter shill MJ Rosenberg is asking the far left to eschew anti-Semitic attacks on Emanuel. Not because anti-Semitic attacks are wrong per se - what would the contemporary DNC ever do? More because Emanuel is apparently one of those "good Jews" that DKos cretins compare to "Likud German/Jew Fascists" like Joe Lieberman:

Before the netroots starts attacking Emanuel as an AIPAC stooge, Likudnik, or whatever, let me weigh in. It's not true. His father is an Israeli and was active in the Irgun... I suspect that, if he was still a rightwinger, he would not have produced a bunch of liberal kids. (Rahm's brother, the Jeremy Piven one, writes often on HuffPo and is a total Hollywood liberal)... [Emanuel] was a key player in getting President Clinton to embrace Oslo and to hold the Rabin-Arafat signing ceremony. I remember standing on the lawn and watching George Stephanopoulos and Rahm Emanuel all teary over "the handshake."... My guess: he'll be the one encouraging Obama to go for an Israeli-Palestinian deal the first year. And, when the rightwing Jews complain, he'll tell them to stick it up their ass. And they will.

Well that makes sense. Anyone who was a key player in Oslo - obviously they understand the dynamics of the Middle East well enough to continue pushing for peace deals.

These tools know that Oslo failed right? They got that memo? Because seriously - spectacular failure. In the best case it died with Rabin. But dead it is. Really. The Palestinians even held a funeral for it. It's well past time that liberal American Jews - scientifically confirmed to be a little thick though they are - internalized this basic reality and got over their necrophilia.

For the record, I don't actually think that Emanuel will encourage Obama to push Israel to make potentially suicidal concessions. That's what Obama's foreign policy team is for - as if Obama needed any encouragement. But it's still worth mentioning the pathetic way that Jewish Democrats like Rosenberg beg liberal activists not to be so openly vicious about their anti-Semitism.
