Those who read my blog posts are aware that I consider Beijing Joe Biden’s acquisition of residence in the White House the result of a nefarious election coup committed by the Democratic Party (which usually refer as Dem-Marxists) and an unholy collusion of RINOs desiring to depose President Trump.
So I am a bit surprised that Beijing Biden has actually a
great person Deborah
Lipstadt to the Ambassadorial position of U.S. special envoy to monitor and
combat anti-Semitism. Her best claim to fame was winning a 5-year
civil suit against Holocaust Denier David Irving in 2000 in the UK.

I don’t know much about Lipstadt other than her defense for
truth. I pray her leanings are not Left-Wing, but if they are, at least she can
be counted on to battle another growing generation of Jew-Haters beginning to
show their ugly heads in public.

Let Us Rejoice

Ever since the departure of Elan Carr and his team from the
State Department, even prior to the end of President Trump’s term, I had a
wish, that President Biden would nominate Professor Deborah Lipstadt to the
job.
I realize of course that it is the Secretary of State who
will be the Special Envoy’s boss, and that an actual confirmation will be
necessary, as the position was uplifted to an Ambassador’s rank, but much like
the case of Carr, this position originates with the President.
Professor Lipstadt was not only the natural choice, she is
the best candidate to serve as the US Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat
Antisemitism. It was so obvious to me, that when the President visited
Emory University, I wrote Prof. Lipstadt asking her is she is ready (for an
announcement) on that most special day. It was not to be on that day, but
a short few months later.
Before the appointment of Carr, the position was vacant for
a long time, until the Adelsons introduced Carr as their candidate for the job
(they previously supported his failed run against Ted Lieu for the
Congressional seat). We should all be grateful to President Biden for
placing this appointment on his priority list and for acting on it.
The job is immensely important, not only to us – the Jewish
People – but to all people. History, Six Million Jews (of whom about 1.5
million were children) and most of my family that perished in the Holocaust
taught us what happens when good people do not speak and act against
evil. We vowed Never Again.
So first, we celebrate the nominee. Second, we are
grateful for the importance shown to the subject matter by the timing of the
appointment.
Professor Lipstadt is a common household name today, due to
a movie depicting her struggle and triumph, court tribulation and vindication
when she was wrongly sued for liable in the UK and had to prove that the
Holocaust did happen. A person who fought against all odds will forever
be dedicated to the cause.
Professor Lipstadt is the most known brand name in the field
of fighting Antisemitism. When Yair Lapid, Israel’s current Alternate
Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, commented about “Antisemites from the BDS
(Boycott, Divest and Sanction) movement,” he said as part of the same sentence
“that Deborah Lipstadt and many others – including me – dedicate time and
effort to combat its corrupt, deviant and evil positions.” Professor
Lipstadt brand (or name or just being) is synonymous with fighting Antisemitism
in all its modern-day forms and manifestations.
Professor Lipstadt was not chosen because she will target
only white extremists, nor was she chosen to be a mouthpiece of the radical
left that is threatening the Democratic Party as we once knew it.
Professor Lipstadt is an independent thinker, encourages her students (I was
one of them, some three and a half decades ago) to use their common sense,
knowledge and training, and will do the same herself. She will unite us
in purpose and unwavering resolve.
If anything, Professor Lipstadt’s nomination is based on
merit, which she earned over the decades. She is the expert in the
field, and she uniquely combines a classroom theory with real-life
experience. A few years ago she appeared at the annual Holocaust
Remembrance Lecture-Lunch at Cedar-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles (an
annual event by Dr. Joel Geiderman), before hundreds of doctors, nurses, staff
and a few Survivors who were still alive. As she did in the classroom,
she mesmerized all attendees with her knowledge, clarity of thought and
expression, dedication and experience. In a way, she is Professor-Judge Amy
Coney Barrett, and unlike Justice Coney Barrett’s confirmation, maybe Professor
Lipstadt will receive a better, apolitical treatment by Democrats and
Republicans alike.
If there is one thing that is generally accepted by Jews –
who are otherwise divided on anything and everything – it is that Antisemitism
is on the rise. President Biden is giving us a gift, in the form of
Professor – soon to be Ambassador – Lipstadt to the job. We should be
most grateful for that.
Israel just went through a process similar to the last
Presidential election in the US: After more than 12 years in office,
Prime Minister Netanyahu was ousted in the fourth election in less than two
years. Prime Minister Bennett’s current coalition government’s oldest
minister is Dr. Nachman Shai, who recently spent a sabbatical at Emory
University and met Professor Lipstadt.
Minister of Diaspora Affairs Shai is tasked with regaining the hearts and minds
of American Jews who seem to have drifted away from Israel. Based on my
friendship with him for the past 13 years, I know he is the best person for the
job. Likewise, I remember Professor Lipstadt when I was a graduating
senior at UCLA, one of several hundred students in her class. That was before
she became famous. We kept in touch over the decades, and there is no
doubt in my mind she is the best person for the job. Both are uniquely
qualified to unite us in purpose, as the Prophet Ezekiel said (37:19), making
us one: “and make them one stick, and they shall be one in
My hand.”
A new day is dawning, in Israel and in the US, where we are
reminded that there is more that unites than divides us. Let us rejoice
in this day, and be grateful that such an excellent candidate is to be
confirmed as the new Special Envoy of the State Department to Monitor and
Combat Antisemitism.
If Carr has left a legacy, it is that the job entails
action, not only words (or filing paperwork). If Lipstadt is to leave a
mark, it is that fighting Antisemitism is neither a “Republican” or “Democrat”
task nor a tool against anyone but Antisemites. She will undoubtedly
leave a lasting mark that is more important than ever.
My parents, both Holocaust Survivors, are the last of the
generation of first-hand witnesses, the remnants that rose from the ashes of
the Holocaust. After them, there will not be any direct accounts of the
Holocaust. The task of maintaining the promise “NEVER AGAIN” and pouring
action into faith is upon us. May God the Almighty provide
Professor Lipstadt the wisdom and strength to make this appointment into a
living reminder of our promise, a breathing and kicking one that endures long
after we are no longer here.
