1). Richard Perle----One of Bush's foreign policy advisors, he is the
chairman of the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board. A very likely Israeli government agent, Perle was expelled from Senator Henry Jackson's office in the 1970's after the National Security Agency (NSA) caught him passing Highly-Classified (National Security) documents to the Israeli Embassy

2). Paul Wolfowitz----Deputy Defense Secretary

3). Douglas Feith----Under Secretary of Defense

4). Edward Luttwak----Member of the National Security Study Group of the Department of Defence

5). Henry Kissinger

6). Dov Zakheim----Under Secretary of Defense

8). I. Lewis Libby

12). Richard Haass-----Director of Policy Planning at the State Department and Ambassador at large

14). Ari Fleischer

32). Colin Powell-----Secretary of State, ex-chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, of Jamaican origin, he has one Jewish ancestor

Answer 1

Not a racist question in the least.... It demands an answer. Like when I ask, was it Islam that wiped Palestine off the face of the earth? The dishonest never answer questions like this.

Answer 2

Let's put it like this: close your eyes and for the next five minutes, seriously, imagine YOU are Jewish.

Would you find the question somewhat offensive?

Be honest, with yourself, if not with us!

I don't know how many Jewish people work in the White House; presumably those that are there got there through effort and being good at their jobs!

And you surely can't have a problem with that....can you?

EDIT

Colin Powell is not Jewish. Frankly, the fact that you have gone to the trouble of actually counting how many Jews work there, suggests you have a bit of an obsession!

Even if there are eight Jews there - SO WHAT???

Answer 3

I don't think it is racist. Considering that the problems we are confronting in the middle east have alot to do with the creation of the nation of Israel in 1948. Add Bush's outspoken religious beliefs and it is clear that he thinks the jews are God's chosen people, so we should know why they are working together on this stuff.

I noticed the racist jew informing you that jews are better than you. That's why Hitler wanted to wipe them off of the face of the earth. They don't know how to fit in. They are either being persecuted and begging for help or acting like they are the only real people on the planet and the rest of us are pathetic unclean animals. They still haven't figured out that it is there arrogance that keeps getting them in trouble with God.

I'm not a racist, but I can spot it anywhere and I despise it. Any time race can be used as a shield in an argument people who despise truth will take advantage of the opportunity.

Another example is the whole illegal immigration issue. It has nothing to do with race, but mexicans and americans who profit from illegal immigration will try to shame you into silence by calling you a racist for speaking up.

Answer 4

I guess it depends on your purpose for asking the question.
If you're trying to find out how many Jews, Christians, Catholics, atheists, agnostics, blacks, Hispanics, females, liberals or conservatives are working in the White House advising Bush on Iraq and Iran - then it might be a non-racist (although irrelevant) question.
If, on the other hand, you're trying to make a point that in some way is degrading, biased or bigoted toward Jews just because you hate them, then it is, indeed, a racist - and repulsive - question.
I suspect you're a conservative bigot who 'hates' everyone that doesn't fit your description of the perfect Aryan race. There was another person like that about 70 years ago: his name was Adolph. -RKO- 09/08/07

Answer 5

Sure it's a racist question. There's no way to form that question without it being racist. But a crime to ask it? No, of course not.

To pick out any group of people and say "hey there's more of them working there than there is {insert whatever}" is not only racist but immaterial. It sort of begs the response of "So what?"

Answer 6

I don`t know how many Jews are working in the White House, but I know that the Jewish lobby is very powerfull and have too much to say about foreign policy in the middle east. The lobby is favoring Israel, no matter how foolish they behave. ( I am not saying Palestinians are behaving better ). Their lobby-ism makes it impossible for The US to be impartial and that creates a lot of sufferings and prevents peace. The question must be: why is the Jewish lobby so powerfull? and that is not a racist question.

Answer 7

yes,it definitely is racist and objectionable if what you are specifically questioning is their belonging to an ethnic group and suggesting that this disqualifies them from the job!.

if you are wondering why their policies only ever favour the State of Israel, even when clearly against the long term interests of the U.S.,that is a legitimate question.

if you are wondering if any of the white house advisory staff hold dual citizenship with Israel,that too is a legitimate non racist question.

Answer 8

This is actually a foolish question, and might also come off as being anti-semitic.
I bet lots of people from many faiths and religions are advising Bush on foreign policy.

Answer 9

No, Jews are not a race, they are an ethnicity so it's not a racial matter. There were a lot of Jewish members of the Bush administration who strongly favored invading Iraq. Could it be that they wanted the US to invade Iraq in order to protect Israel? Richard Clarke, in his book, thought that one of the reasons that Bush wanted to invade Iraq was to protect Israel, and I agree.

Answer 10

Any remark that does not offer evidence but just makes an unjust statement is bias. Racist?? Sticks and stones.... There are no more Jewish advisers (for their knowledge) than Arabic, Blacks or any other American types in the White House. The answer is unanswerable.
Spartawo...

Answer 11

Only to Jewish people. Everyone else should be asking why. I hope you don't get this question removed or get a violation because of asking for such a simple answer..
