Headlines like that one used to be antisemitic. Fox seems to be using it as a selling point. Here's the Fox story's lead:
As Barack Obama continues to absorb accusations that he is not
committed to maintaining America's staunch support for Israel,
knowledgeable Democrats have leaked word that he is considering a
well-known, pro-Israeli Jewish congressman to be his chief of staff if
elected.
And all thru the story, it's a virtue to be Pro-Isrul. I say it again: the religious right is over. It's the religious left the media should be covering. I wonder whether Emanuel's elevation, should it occur, will get the dual-loyalty issue back in play. In 2006 Kyra Phillips of CNN, bless her heart, asked a Jewish kid from Long Island who was going off to fight for Israel why he wasn't joining the U.S. military. Well can that question be asked of Emanuel going off to fight for or serve Israel during Gulf War?

From the article: “Emanuel belongs to an orthodox Jewish congregation in Chicago and worked as a volunteer in Israel during the first Gulf War. His father was a pediatrician who grew up in Israel and worked for the Israeli underground before independence.”
The “Israeli underground” referred to is Irgun, which was a Jewish terrorist organization. Now why isn’t the media referring to Emanuel as a “Zionist spokesperson” and highlighting his ties to Jewish terrorists? Compare the treatment of Khalid, who by rights should be the one being considered for position in an Obama administration, to the fawning treatment of Emanuel. And compare Obama’s treatment of Khalid to his treatment of Emanuel. Obama=Zionist Uncle Tom.
Oh man, they're playing the press like a violin with these targeted leaks.
Just today they got a "who might be who in an Obama cabinet" story on the AP. Pretty much everyone who's named is a swing state governor.
This is the same kind of thing…sop for the Jews in Florida and Philly.
Sorry, "Khalidi." Khalid was an Islamic terrorist, which is why the Khalidi name was invoked by right-wing media and the McCain campaign so close to the election. They get you coming and going…
If Obama chose Biden as VP to remove him from the senate and clear the way for some banking and credit card reform, that was great planning. There is no reason to put Emanuel in Obama's cabinet, or anywhere close to the president. If the rumor is true, it is a signal to Obama's base there will be no change on Middle East policies.

And who once described himself as a Zionist:
