President Obama appointed *Hannah Rosenthal* to serve as the State Department's Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism. Rosenthal is the former head of the *Jewish Council for Public Affairs*, and an aggressive advocate for feminism <http://www.politico.com/blogs/laurarozen/1109/Rosenthal_expecting_to_be_named_Obama_envoy_to_combat_antiSemitism.html>. [image: Hannah Rosenthal] *Hannah Rosenthal* The Obama government has created a state paid propaganda and pressure organization for jewish interests in the USA and the whole world. A tiny ethnic minority (2 - 3 %) gets special rights and government sponsored and backed official US institution to advocate their ethnic group's special interests! This special department and envoy to monitor anti-semitism was established by the *Global Anti-Semitism Review Act of 2004*, sponsored by the late Rep. *Tom Lantos* (D-CA), Rep. *Chris Smith* (R-NJ) and Sen. *George Voinovich* (R-OH). It mandates the State Department monitor and act against anti-Semitism. Even main stream journalists such as the LA Examiner's *Robert Stark* are now beginning to ask questions: 'If these special interest groups really wanted to end anti-semitism they would lobby for equal rights for all Americans and not special privileges for themselves.'
