WASHINGTON (VINnews) — A senior White House advisor falsely accused Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu of interfering in U.S. politics. It was an egregious claim, and according to Breitbart’s Joel Pollak, it reeked of antisemitism.

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan made the antisemitic claim Monday in a White House press briefing. He provided no evidence of his claim that Israel interfered in American politics, and admitted that it had nothing to do with the question he had been asked.
Sullivan was asked to respond to Netanyahu’s claim that he had the support of the majority of the Israeli people in his plans to attack Rafah.
He replied: “Well, first of all, inherent in the question is a kind of an interesting irony, which is you have the prime minister speaking on American television about his concerns about Americans interfering in Israeli politics, and then your question is should Americans be speaking into Israeli politics, which in fact we don’t do nearly as much as they speak into ours.”.
He then conceded, “But that’s not a constructive answer to your question, just an observation.”.
Pollak wrote: “The Anti-Defamation League has specifically identified the claim that Israel or Jews control American politics as a form of antisemitism, common in anti-Israel propaganda in the Middle East.”
He added, “There is no known example of Israel interfering in an American election — and certainly no Israeli leader has ever demanded that the U.S. replace its president, as President Joe Biden did last week with regard to Netanyahu.”
Netanyahu’s observation about having the overwhelming support of the Israeli people is backed by polls. One survey found that 75% of Israelis support an attack in Rafah.
I guess we’re lucky they haven’t started yet accusing the Jews of drinking blood and trying to RULE THE WORLD!!!
The left is known, for accusing others, with what they are themselves guilty of כל הפוסל במומו פוסל
“Israel interfered in American politics”
Oh come on. Everyone knows that Netanyahu tried to get Romney elected President in 2012 and that he lied to Congress about the Iran Deal. Both backfired. Romney lost and when the exten of Netanyahu’s lies about the Iran deal the opposition realized that it wasn’t with the effort to stop it. Those failures actually disprove the anti-Semitic meme that Israel controls the US government!
Unfortunately Biden and Schumer didn’t learn from that history. Interference in another democracy’s politics usually backfires.
Sullivan you’re going down together with the old farttt of an idiot boss of yours, who truly belongs in an asylum, NOT the White House !!!
Looks like VINnews is censoring comments that don’t fit the party line.
Yet it is Okay for the o Biden administration to clearly attempt to interfere with Israeli politics and government!
Of course he does, the biden admin does all it can to undermine Israel on the world stage, now they even spread anti semitic tropes. They need the hamas democrat vote so badly.
If Israel did that, Trump would be president right now.
sullivan should go back to germany where he belongs
Wow.. I even see Karma standing in the corner practicing their Throat punch technique for the whole of the Biden/Obama lying machine
Question for any rabbi out there.
Are throat punches kosher?
