| Stephen K. Bannon: Friend of the Jewish People, Defender of Israel |
| 2016-11-15 |
| [Breitbart] I have worked with Stephen K. Bannon, President-elect Donald Trump’s new chief strategist and senior counselor, for nearly six years at Breitbart News. I can say, without hesitation, that Steve is a friend of the Jewish people and a defender of Israel, as well as being a passionate American patriot and a great leader. A word or two about my credentials: I am an Orthodox Jew, and I hold a Master of Arts degree in Jewish Studies. My thesis at the Isaac and Jesse Kaplan Centre at the University of Cape Town dealt with the troubled status of Jews in an increasingly anti-Israel, and antisemitic, post-apartheid South Africa. I believe myself to be a qualified judge of what is, and is not, antisemitic. It defies logic that a man who was a close friend, confidant, and adviser to the late Andrew Breitbart -- a proud Jew -- could have any negative feelings towards Jews. As I can testify from years of work together with Steve in close quarters, the opposite is the case: Steve is outraged by antisemitism. If anything, he is overly sensitive about it, and often takes offense on Jews’ behalf. Steve cares deeply about the fate of Jewish communities in America and throughout the world, a fact that is reflected in Breitbart News’ daily coverage. It was in that spirit that Steve joined Breitbart News CEO Larry Solov (also Jewish) in launching Breitbart Jerusalem last year, fulfilling Andrew’s dream of opening a bureau in Israel specifically to cover the region from an unabashedly Zionist perspective. |

| #7 My black massage therapist asked me today what I thought of him. She isn't very political, so it's clearly getting wide play. On the other hand, she wasn't able to get away to vote last week (she's a very good massage therapist, and a lovely person) which didn't bother her, as she'd declared a pox on both major candidates. She said everyone she knew decided not to vote for Mrs. Clinton after the tape of her calling black men "super-predators" came out. I seem to recall that was something she said back when she was a senator... does anyone remember how it happened to come out again this year? |

| #3 Stephen K. Bannon: Friend of the Jewish People, Defender of Israel. Not according to that hateful Soros-funded organization Media Matters for America. They are pushing the meme that Bannon is an anti-Semite but then they, like Hillary, lie a lot. |
