Det är inte bara svärsonen Jared Kushner utan även andra unga ortodoxa judar och fanatiska sionister som har följt med in i Vita Huset.
En 28-årig jude vid namn Avi Berkowitz är nu kanske en av de mest inflytelserika personerna i kretsen kring Donald Trump.
Jared Kushner's 28-year-old protégé is his right-hand man in the White House

Citat:
Avi Berkowitz was an undergrad at Queens College when he met Jared Kushner during a game of pick-up basketball at a Passover celebration in Phoenix, Arizona.
Kushner, then a young real-estate mogul from New Jersey, took a liking to Berkowitz - who, like Kushner, was raised in an Orthodox Jewish home in the New York City suburbs.
Citat:
At the time, neither could have predicted that just a few years later Kushner, senior adviser to his father-in-law, President Donald Trump, would be one of the most powerful people in the country and Berkowitz his right-hand man.
Berkowitz, now 28, is in many ways Kushner's protégé, following him to Kushner companies, then to Trump's campaign, and now to the West Wing. Both Ivy League-educated lawyers, the two have matching dispositions and similar worldviews, influenced by their Jewish schooling and deep ties to Israel, according to several of Berkowitz's friends who spoke with Business Insider. Berkowitz reflects a larger trend in a White House staffed by friends and family of the president that prizes loyalty and deprioritizes political experience.
Citat:
In the spring of 2016 - around the same time that Kushner asked Berkowitz to join Trump's campaign - Berkowitz began writing about campus issues for the New York Observer, the weekly newspaper Kushner bought in 2006.
Berkowitz börjar plötsigt skriva för en tidning som polaren Kushner äger och positionerar sig som "höger" genom att vara lite kritisk mot överdriven PK, precis innan han hoppar på Trumps kampanj...
Citat:
Berkowitz didn't take a strong position on the vandalism or the removal of the school shield, but suggested in an op-ed that labeling the black-tape incident a hate crime, as many did, was an overreaction - a testament to the left's exaggerated political correctness. He also accused liberal student activists of stifling dissent, censoring conservatives on campus.
Berkowitz's opinions surprised some who knew him, including Colin Ross, a Harvard classmate who told Business Insider that Berkowitz's writing, and his decision to join Trump's campaign, came "kind of out of nowhere."
Ett skolboksexempel på hur judar infiltrerar och undergräver alla partier, rörelser och fenomen som kan tänkas få något som helst inflytande. Ett bra svenskt exempel är den liberala HBTQ-vurmande judinnan Paula Bieler i SD.
Citat:
But Jonathan Gartner, a former president of the Jewish Law Students Association, said he didn't think of Berkowitz as ideological.
"He was pragmatic about what his political views were," Gartner told Business Insider. "He was the type of person who was able to see other people's sides, who was able to have a thought-out discussion."
While an outspoken free speech advocate when the speech fit his politics, Berkowitz was quick to condemn that which offended him personally, including when a fellow law student asked former Israeli foreign minister Tzipi Livni why she was "so smelly" at a Harvard-sponsored discussion on Israeli-Palestinian relations.
På ett typiskt manér så är Berkowitz för yttrandefrihet när det gynnar judar men starkt emot när judar kritiseras eller missgynnas av yttranderiheten.
Citat:
Berkowitz and Kushner have similar approaches, however, to the question of Israel. Both men have deep ties to the country.
Kushner's family has donated millions of dollars to Israeli institutions, including schools and hospitals, some located in settlements, and has a longstanding relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Growing up, Kushner attended Jewish schools and was taught to "protect Israel, remember the genocide and assure the survival of the Jewish people," The New York Times reported recently. The report cited people close to him who said Kushner's Judaism and support of Israel are inextricably intertwined.
While Kushner's political stances are often not well understood, his approach to Israel has remained consistent and central to his politics. He is widely credited with shaping Trump's policy toward Israel, and the president has assigned him the monumental task of brokering peace between Israel and Palestine.
Citat:
Israel and Judaism have played similarly central roles in Berkowitz's life. His family is also tied to powerful leaders in the Jewish community. Berkowitz's cousin, Howard Friedman, was the first Orthodox president of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the most influential pro-Israel lobbying group in the US.
De här unga judarna har alltså personliga familjeband och kontakter både med den politiska toppen i Israel och med AIPAC och de mest inflytelserika judiska organisationerna och nätverken i USA.
Citat:
Growing up in Lawrence, Long Island, an affluent, largely Jewish town 45 minutes from Manhattan, Berkowitz was educated at a local Orthodox day school. After high school, he spent two years studying religious texts at Yeshiva Kol Torah in Jerusalem, a prestigious Israeli Orthodox seminary. Berkowitz came back to the US in 2009 to attend Ner Israel Rabbinical College in Baltimore, where he started his undergrad studies before transferring to Queens College.
Det är inga judar vilka som helst utan djupt religiösa och ideologiskt fanatiska ortodoxa judar och sionister, med direktlina till de mäktigaste judarna i Israel och USA, som Trump har i sin närmsta krets. Det är därmed inte så konstigt att politiken blir därefter, oavsett tidigare löften och uttalanden.
