Whoops!…is the Alan Gross defense shifting gears?–shifting into full Cuba “Expert” mode?

“The control that Israelis (read: Jews) have over the United States is enormous.” (Fidel Castro, July 12, 2010)

As most know, Castro’s U.S. hostage Alan Gross is (coincidentally, perhaps) Jewish.

Alan Gross belonged to Rabbi David Shneyer’s congregation, Am Kolel, in Kensington, MD. Rabbi Schneyer is a frequent visitor to Cuba. Now, according to the Washington Post his group is:

set to hold a teach-in on U.S.-Cuban relations Wednesday, in cooperation with (that hotbed of Cuba “Expertise”) The Center for Democracy in the Americas.

If more Americans understood the complicated history between the United States and Cuba, Rabbi Shneyer believes there would be a better relationship.

He said the United States has not respected Cuban sovereignty, pointing to the Bay of Pigs — a failed CIA invasion of Cuba under President John F. Kennedy in 1961. But he said there are serious grievances on both sides, such as the 50-year-old Cuban embargo, which is hurting the Cuban people.

“It’s insane that this country, which is 90 miles from Florida, doesn’t have a normal relationship with the United States,” said Rabbi Shneyer. “It is wrong to deny Americans the right to travel freely to Cuba. It’s not right to think that Cuba is a threat to America.

Now where have we heard these talking-points before?….

Unreal

  1. I say they should all follow in Alan’s footsteps and experience the real Cuba, why should Alan Gross be the only one of their congregation afforded that luxury,after all, are they not all equal? Insert numerous swear words here…

  2. What I don’t understand is why is it that the American Jewish congregations that travel to Cuba so often [it’s become the vacation du jour] fail to see the 10 ton elephant sitting in front of them.

    Cuba had a prosperous, thriving Jewish community before castro, he ALONE [not Machado, Prio, Batista, etc..] single-handedly destroyed Cuba’s wonderful Jewish community [probably for ever]. And yet, nobody sees that. Nobody condemns that.

    To add insult to injury, castro creates the Hotel Raquel for Jewish tourists and they all go running to stay in that so-called “Jewish hotel.” What the hell is a Jewish hotel anyway? What does it have Kosher food and a mini-synagogue in the basement? Talk about shameless pandering to a group! And they accept it!

  3. A perfect Ron Paul moment.
    They wouldn’t have arrested Gross if ….If only America weren’t so obtuse. It’s all America’s fault. Castro is trying to make things better for his people.

    This replicates so many who see all the destruction Obama is creating for this country and the free world and they still won’t blame him. Whatever new tyranny he will inflict, whatever insult to Israel, umbrage will not be taken; it will be explained away. He’s trying his best. he was handed a bad economy, etc.

    I remain at a loss. There are no words, even curse words don’t satisfy.

  4. Sounds like Plan E (for expediency). However, Castro, Inc. wants more than “sympathy” and “understanding” in exchange for Gross. If that’s all it wanted, it would have been quite satisfied ages ago. Ask the MSM and the legions of usual suspects.
