Hamas Apologist Beinart: Orthodox Jews Should Be Ashamed Of Jared Kushner

Ben Shapiro

On Wednesday, Obama apologist and Hamas would-be spokesman Peter Beinart issued a broadside at Forward, ripping into Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law. Kushner, he said, could not be a true observant Jew. Why? Because Kushner is part of the administration that has promulgated immigration and refugee restrictions designed to minimize the threat of radical Islamic terrorism. Here’s Beinart, implying that Jared Kushner is an evil human being:

Slavery, in other words, was meant to ensure that Jews would remember powerlessness once they gained power. Jared Kushner is what happens when that memory fails…. In remarkable ways, modern Jewish history echoes the passage from powerlessness to power that begins in the Book of Exodus. Therefore, the challenge for Jared Kushner, and everyone in our extraordinarily privileged generation, is to remember our ancestors’ suffering and honor their memories by defending the weak, vulnerable and oppressed today.
