Could a Kamala administration be any worse for the Jews than the Obama administration?
“Pressure is building in Congress for Biden to do more to halt Israel’s assault on Gaza,” he was asked in a 2021 interview as fighting raged to stop Hamas assaults on Israel .
“Hopefully he can use it as leverage to get the Israelis to stop,” Ilan Goldenberg, Kamala’s future Middle East advisor and new ‘liaison’ to the Jewish community, answered.
Could a Kamala administration be any worse for the Jews than the Obama administration?
An early answer arrived with the announcement that the Harris-Walz campaign had picked Ilan Goldenberg as its ‘liaison’ to the Jewish community. Freedom Center Investigates had previously profiled Goldenberg when he was serving as Kamala’s Middle East advisor.
A member of the Kerry team under Obama, whose biased attacks on Israel and support for Iran and Islamic terrorists in Israel helped lead to the current regional crisis, Goldenberg had spent the years leading up to Oct 7 doing everything possible to make the Hamas attack happen.
And the time afterward serving as a Kamala adviser and imposing sanctions on Israelis.
Ilan Goldenberg had previously advocated for a deal in which “Hamas would retain some of its military capabilities” and argued that “half the root causes are Israeli actions, in terms of — especially just focusing on Gaza, on the blockade. And the other half is Hamas’ choice to use violence and arm itself in response.” He had urged that more money should go into the Hamas territory and argued that Israel should in allow workers from Gaza. “You used to have 25,000, 100,000 Gazans working inside Israel. That needs to happen again.” That led to Oct 7.
Kamala’s new Jewish ‘liasion’ opposed every single pro-Israel move by both Republicans and Democrats, whether it was moving the embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing the Golan Heights or even cutting off aid to the ‘pay-to’slay’ program of the Palestinian Authority. Instead, he urged anti-Israel moves including a unilateral recognition of a ‘Palestinian’ state on Israel’s territory.
Ilan Goldenberg had been a vocal proponent of the Iran Deal, and attended an event by NIAC: the Iran Lobby. He had argued that “In the aftermath of a successful nuclear deal, U.S. relations with Iran should shift from that of an adversary to that of a competitor.” --->READ MORE HERE

As Israel faces an existential war, the 2024 U.S. presidential election is shaping up to be the most important the Jewish people and the State of Israel have ever seen.
With the stakes as high as they can be, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris has chosen Israeli-born Ilan Goldenberg as her Jewish outreach director. Goldenberg who joined the Biden Administration in 2021 will serve as “the campaign’s main liaison with Jewish community leaders and stakeholders and advise the campaign on issues related to the U.S.-Israel relationship, the war in Gaza and the broader Middle East.”
Goldenberg supportshttps://t.co/qoUYHk0TKV a return to Israel’s pre-1967 borders, dividing Jerusalem; a freeze on settlements; and “ending the practice of shielding Israel from international consequences.” He opposed American recognition of Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights. These radical viewpoints suggest that a Harris administration will be hostile to the Jewish state and American Jews who support Israel.
In 2017, Goldenberg criticized the Trump administration’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and moving of the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. He supports reopening the PLO mission in D.C., which was closed because the PA supports illegitimate anti-Israel actions at the International Criminal Court.
Furthermore, Goldenberg supported Obama’s abstention on the anti-Israel Security Council Resolution 2334, as well as Secretary of State John Kerry’s speech at the end of the Obama Administration, in which Kerry said: “Israel can either be Jewish or democratic—it cannot be both—and it won’t ever really be at peace” so long as settlement construction continues.
Goldenberg wrote that settlements “swallow up more land and, the more plugged into the Israeli economy and infrastructure they become, the more difficult they are to physically remove. They also become accepted by Jewish-Israeli society as part of Israel and raise the domestic political cost of removing them.” He asks, “How will Israeli society come to terms with the relocation of hundreds that would likely be part of a two-state solution.” In other words, he lamented that Israelis won’t support racist plans to make the biblical Land of Israel Judenrein.
Goldenberg also came close to legitimizing a boycott of the Jewish state, noting that Resolution 2334 calls “on states to ‘distinguish, in their relevant dealings’ between Israel and the occupied territories—a far cry from attacking tech companies in Tel Aviv.” --->READ MORE HERE
