JERUSALEM POST

The American jewish committee has called on the US military to stop denying security clearances to Jews who have family living in Israel.

The practice, which the AJC describes as disturbing and discriminatory, resurfaced last week when a retired dentist from Brooklyn, Dr. Gershon Pincus, who had initially received a recommendation approving the necessary clearance to work at a naval clinic in Saratoga Springs, New York, was denied his clearance because his mother and siblings live in Israel.

The decision was made after a subsequent security interview in September. Pincus’s story became known after it appeared in The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday.

According to the article, the dentist, who had ran a successful private dental practice in New York City for 35 years, applied to serve in the United States military to “give something back to his country,” and had only been to Israel three times in the past 10 years.

Since President Barack Obama took office, there have been 58 similar cases, in which Israeli ties were a significant factor in the decision to deny security clearance, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Sixty-two percent of those denied clearance appealed the decision and lost.

“For comparison, there has been just one case of a French citizen losing an appeal and being denied a clearance, and zero involving British citizens,” the article said.

Marc Stern, general counsel of the American Jewish Committee, said that even though the US government “must evaluate every candidate” and conduct thorough background checks, “what is truly stunning is that our armed forces make judgments on the loyalty of certain American citizens based solely on their Jewish identity and any family ties to Israel.

“To be sure, this questionable practice resurrecting the shopworn canard of dual loyalty has been taking place for years, over several administrations,” Stern added. “For the good of the country, it is high time that it be brought to an end.”

  1. EVERY major spy against the United States has been a Jew ….everyone !
    Harry Hopkins ,Alger Hiss,Harry Dexter White , Oppenheimer , Silvermasters ,up to and including Rosenbergs ,and Jonathon Pollard !
    Many ,many more …some never revealed .
    This is why Senator Joe Mc Carthy was vilified .
    He was defacto showing this .
    Jews are ONLY loyal to ANY nation ,cause ,or ideology as it is useful to them .
    Lesson : He hired two Jews, Roy Cohen ,and David Shine as aides to cover charges of ” Anti Semitism ” against himself …..it did not work, and never does !

  2. So loyal American Marc Stern would have us believe that the issue of “dual loyalty” is nothing but a “shopworn canard” which should be disregarded “for the good of the country”.
    One wonders why he didn’t specify “for the good of America”.
    It seems that the issue of loyalty and disloyalty has become a mere platitude for the people of western societies.
    Such an attitude is extreme folly.
    Of course loyalty is important: the loyalty of dual citizens, the loyalty of elected leaders too.
    And disloyalty to the host nation should be a very serious offence.
    Common sense would seem to dictate that dual citizens should – as a matter of course – be denied responsibilities where their dual citizenship COULD pose a conflict of interest.
    And disloyal officials should – at the very least – be prohibited from sensitive responsibilities for life.

  3. Hmmm
    It is important to note:
    1) that is other dual citizen Jews that are demanding the US government lower their standards to allow dual citizen Jewish Israelis to have access to our secrets.
    2) These same dual citizens are not demanding that any other dual citizens be granted special privileges, only Jewish dual citizen Israelis
    3)As noted above, the biggest security breaches and acts of espionage perpetrated against America have been carried out by dual citizen Israelis.
    4)Any American Jew born of a Jewish mother is automatically granted Israeli citizenship. And all it takes to request this is walking into the nearest Israeli consulate. Which means at any time those Jews who don’t physically hold an Israeli passport can obtain one quickly, easily and quietly. And this has been done thousands of times.
    5)Bernie Sanders is in fact a massive security risk as a Jewish American born of a Jewish mother who has incredibly close ties to Israel as demonstrated by his unfailing support for Israel even when it was and is clearly detrimental to America and Americans.
    A man that tried to dodge the draft by filing as a conscientious objector and then turned around and when to israel to serve on a Kibbutz. All of which were still militarized in the 1960’s. Furthermore he went on to be one of the most hawkish pro war, pro Military industrial complex Democratic members of Congress in the last 30 years. He is a devout socialist which is far more in line with Israel than the United States. And while he publicly denies being a dual citizen, there is absolutely no way to know if he is or not given his many trips to Israel over the years.
    6) In a time when other Americans are routinely denied their Constitutional rights simply because someone decided to put their name on a list, the idea that we should compromise national security in such a reckless manner is literally an act of treason.

  4. Excellent points DDearborn….Sanders is what ALL of the Neo ( New) Conservatives Jews where before taking on the Jews mission of controlling ” Right ” ,” Conservatism ,”. ” Republican Party !
    He is a throw back to the far Left ,War Hawk which personified the pre Mc Govern 72 Democrat Party.
    People don’t get this…the obtuse ” Liberals ” and certainly not the GOP base.

  5. After 3 solid years of dealing with them we should throw them in interment camps, chip them & execute the traitors, oh, sterilize them to protect the world.
