“We aren\u2019t going to do statements for every Jewish holiday unless she wants to do them for every religious holiday and trust me, this Catholic can give you a list of them,\u201d Houghton replied. \u201cAlso when she does an official statement it makes very little sense to have two statements out there in her voice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Banfill appeared to send a tongue-in-cheek response: \u201cThis is about remembering the Holocaust. Never forget.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYup\u2026 or Darfur or Armenia or Rwanda or Bosnia (which PS is where my husband served),\u201d Houghton replied. \u201cDoes she want us to do one for each other those remembrance days as well?\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the WikiLeaks email dump, DNC CFO Brad Marshall accused Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders of being an atheist who skates by on his Jewish heritage.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt might may [sic] no difference, but for KY and WVA can we get someone to ask his belief. Does he believe in a God. He had skated on saying he has a Jewish heritage. I think I read he is an atheist. This could make several points difference with my peeps. My Southern Baptist peeps would draw a big difference between a Jew and an atheist,\u201d Marshall wrote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How insensitive! Don’t they know that Jewish suffering is special?<\/p>\n

Chaim Amalek writes: “Why would any normal, healthy goy want to “commemorate” or mark Yom Hashoah? Do orthodox Hasids have such a commemoration? As I recall American Jews hardly ever mentioned any of this until Hollywood, in the seventies, figured out there was ratings gold in it. Then their interest became America’s, complete with a museum in Washington, DC. But what about everyone else? Maybe we should have a day to mark the Rwandan Holocaust, with a special recognition given to Bill Clinton for all that he did to stop it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
