Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's brother-in-law Dr. Hagai Ben-Artzi on Wednesday called U.S. President Barack Obama an anti-Semite in an interview with Army Radio. "It's not that Obama doesn't like Bibi," he referring to Netanyahu using his nickname. "He doesn't like the nation of Israel. When there is an anti-Semitic president in the United States, it is a test for us and we have to say: We will not concede. We are a nation dating back 4,000 years, and you in a year or two will be long forgotten. Who will remember you? But Jerusalem will dwell on forever."

Jimmy Carter has his brother Billy. Bibi has Hagai. We can't be responsible for our relations.

This anti-semite name calling bullshit is getting old and tired.

We are a nation dating back 4,000 years

The fuck you are you delusional shit stain. You can take your "anti-semitic" cop-out and cram it right up your ass. You're a nation with a government that advocates murder and bilks our country of billions through intense lobbying efforts and endless propaganda campaigns.

God forbid anyone's slightly critical of that.

if we don't do whatever israel wants then we are anti-semitic.

We are a nation dating back 4,000 years, and you in a year or two will be long forgotten. Who will remember you? But Jerusalem will dwell on forever.

As the Bible tells us, the Israelis got their asses kicked time after time. Judging by the way they're making enemies, it won't be the last.

Jerusalem may dwell on forever, but I wouldn't want to predict it will be occupied by Jews forever. The word "zealot" is derived from the fanatics who precipitated the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans.

Is he saying Barack is a bigot?

antisemite = anyone who disagrees with the divine right of the israeli government to do anything it wants to anyone it wants for any reason.

Matsop-
He seems to be saying that America better do whatever the current government of Israel wants or else...

With the hopeful exception of Iraq, Israel is the only functional democracy in the Middle East, surrounded by dictators and lunatics.

Why do Democrats hate democracy?

Besides, Israel is one of the least religious places on Earth. Aside from a few fringe groups it is completely secular, and on top of that very hedonistic.

A Liberal's paradise, it would seem.

isn't a Muslim Prez "anti-semitic" by definition?

it must be some kinda cycle . . .
Carter alienated our allies & emboldened our enemies & since Obama hasn't a clue about history, he's on the same tack

Why do Democrats hate democracy?

Where the fuck do you people come from?

Bush alienated our allies & emboldened our enemies

Yeah, he should have apologized and kissed them on the mouth, with the 911 families in attendance.

I understand---just making a point how people deflect legitimate points by name-calling such as "bigot", racist","anti-semitic" etc. Blacks and the left has been doing this for years whenever someone makes a legitimate statement that they don't like or agree with when it has to do with race, ethnicity, or other issues.

Turkey's a democracy too.

Let's not forget, they forced themselves on their neighbors through terrorism and war. If the Israelis want to live among enemies, they they should have to deal with it, not the US.

Barry better watch it for if the Jews turn on the Dems', put a fork in the entire Dem party!

Is he saying Barack is a bigot?

Who cares what he's saying. Bibi's bro-in-law is a fucking snake. You'll notice that Israeli hardliners never defend their actions... they only attacks those who criticize them.

Spokesmen and lobbyists for the Israeli right wing deliberately attempt to equate criticism of Israeli policy to anti-Semitism. Why? Many Israeli policies are indefensible. Only by attempting to discredit critics with moronic (but effective) deflections can they "defend" actions like settlement expansion and the excessive capaign in Gaza.

Second, many blind supporters of militant Israeli policies equate modern day Israel with a long-dead tribal nation of the same name. Why? Doing so very effectively invokes popular superstitions. By falsely equating a nation created by the UN less than a century ago to a nation mentioned in millenia-old sacred myths, Israeli policies can be constured as divinely sanctioned. Do not forget the infamous study in which Israeli schoolchildren were presented with two versions of the massacre at Jerico: the original version, and one in which the names and places were altered to refer to a warlords in China. It is summarized well here.

the are no democracies on earth larger than a cub scout club.

'democracy' is nothing more than a marketing term designed to deflect legitimate criticism of leaders who's only difference with ghengis khan is that he had the balls to do a lot of his own killing.

I guess the check hasn't cleared yet.

Don't think for a moment that you aren't completely transparent to me or anyone else.

Criticism of Israel, justified or unjustified, is always based upon bigotry.

At least that's what "they" always claim and to prove their point they have their own special absurd non-sensical word for it - anti-Semitism - whatever the fxck that means. They can't define it but they claim to know it when they see it.

There comes a time (in an objective, honest, sane mind) when you have to ask yourselves WHY everyone else doesn't care for you.

oops ... should read in honest, objective, sane minds

Sluggo- Spell it out for me. Who exactly does everyone not like?

Why does vermin love ladyboys?

Why ask why?

Israel's apartheid regime has alienated the entire world, with its USA, its obedient vassal, as virtually their only ally in the entire world. name one other country on the planet that supports Israel's apartheid regime? The USA has stood against the entire planet dozens of times, via its UN veto power, to protect Israel's apartheid practices, and inflame Muslim anamosity worldwide. Thus, Israel should be kissing the USA's ass to get back in good graces, no? Yet, they are the one's wagging their finger, as they see the US as a sucker to be used for its global military and political might. Just shows how confident they are that their obedient big brother will turn a blind eye to the apartheid and keep the billions in aid flowing, in this purely parasitic relationship that has no benefit to the US whatsoever.

"Blacks and the left has been doing this for years whenever someone makes a legitimate statement that they don't like or agree with when it has to do with race, ethnicity, or other issues."

There are incidents like you describe but to say "whenever someone makes a legitimate statement that they don't like or agree with when it has to do with race, ethnicity, or other issues." makes your comment idiotic.

I'll expand on that point since I'm feeling "idiotic"---you also saw it in high profile events with often visceral hysterical over-reaction establishing guilt based on assumptions instead of facts. Will concede that "whenever" was too general and pejorative and will change that to "frequently when".

Feeling generous and benevolent this morning----will change "frequently when" to "at times when"

"With the hopeful exception of Iraq, Israel is the only functional democracy in the Middle East, surrounded by dictators and lunatics.

Why do Democrats hate democracy?"

Israel takes our money, is useless as an ally (zero troops in Iraq, Afghanistan or anywhere else where they could be helping us) and routinely tells our leaders to go fuck themselves. Then there is the the Liberty incident, over which they still spit on the graves of our sailors they murdered by continuing to lie about it.

Why does Vernon hate America?

Oh, and Netanyahu's brother is almost as big an asshole as Vernon with his almost as idiotic anit-semite schtick....

"Why does Vernon hate America?"

would explain why left america.

unfortunately there won't be peace in that area for a while.

there is too much power and money in keeping up the pointless hatred between the citizens of the entire area.

the leaders on both sides are in it for themselves and who cares how many woman and children and young men die in the cross fire.

Obama doesn't love anybody who isn't Obama. So the Israelis are in great company.

"Obama doesn't love anybody who isn't Obama"

sounds like you sir.

Interestingly enough, Obama has about a 70 percent popularity in Israel, much better than any of their leaders.

our government is a reflection of our society.

selfish and divided.

The Israelis have a right to wonder what the hell Obama is talking about. Their agreement with him said that they would suspend new settlements, except in Jerusalem. This was one going into Jerusalem, and Obama went ballistic.

Lesson to all: don't enter into an agreement with Obama on anything, ever. He's a duplicitous, lying turd.

Drop Israel now! We can no longer afford to pay for their dirty work. I should be a matter of security.

"The Israelis have a right to wonder what the hell Obama is talking about. Their agreement with him said that they would suspend new settlements, except in Jerusalem. This was one going into Jerusalem, and Obama went ballistic."

To announce new settlements at a time when it seems that peace talks might be possible in the near future is a deliberate move designed to anger the other side into backing away.

You'd have to be pretty naive not to see this was a calculated, intentional move.

That is a whole lot of "what ifs." When are peace talks not a possibility in the near future?

"That is a whole lot of "what ifs." When are peace talks not a possibility in the near future?"

99% of the time. For years, the Palestinians weren't even trying to negotiate, mostly because they don't have a real leader. There was a recent announcement that the Palestinians were opening up to negotiations again. The real question is whether those numbnuts could have sent anyone to the negotiating table that could actually deliver peace because usually what happens is that Hamas is allowed to veto any arrangement the two sides are discussing.

Israel's response was to announce more settlements in hopes of riling the Palestinians, who are a bunch of easily manipulated jackasses. That they timed this with the Biden visit was also a blatant and intentional slap in the face.

Funny thing is, I usually get accused of being zionist on this site over my criticism of Palestinians due to my refusal to think of them as grown babies who are not responsible for their actions.

I'm all for pulling out of foreign aid for everybody. But this was agreed to months ago, and now Obama wants to pretend it never happened. As to Biden, that dumbass manages to embarrass himself on a daily basis, with no help from anyone else.

There will never be peace in the Middle East, and pretending otherwise is a fool's errand.

Bibi's bro-in-law Ben-Artzi sed wot?!

That Obama is an anti-semite?

* facepalm *

Cos mildy rebuking Israel for their obstinacy vis a vis the renewed peace process while continuing to support them practically unconditionally to the tune of billions annually is EXACTLY the same thing as instituting pogroms and buying zyklon B wholesale?

S'rsly?

When you reduce real anti-semitism to that ridiculous, wide brush definition you diminish the word's power and risk people losing patience with Israeli stalling tactics on the road to peace.

Israel has been America's number one recipient of foreign aid for decades now alongside being one of the Pentagon's better customers.

Millions of dollars out of the Billions Israel gets annually go back to US politicians through the AIPAC lobby and other sources thus perpetuating the cycle endlessly.

There will never be peace in the Middle East, and pretending otherwise is a fool's errand.

Admitting defeat is not an option here.

Lead follow or get the fuck outta the way.

Be Well.

I'll get out of the way. America should too.

LMAO. I'll let you "lead". Go Canada!

Who are those supporters who claim anti-Semitism is in opposition to free speech, or is their opposition totally BS?

While I dislike claims of true anti-Semitism when it deals with the Jewish, I despise the claims when it comes from ZIONISTS. Their goal is about muzzling free speech and enhancing Israel at the expense of many.

It's not that Obama doesn't like Bibi," he referring to Netanyahu using his nickname. "He doesn't like the nation of Israel. When there is an anti-Semitic president in the United States, it is a test for us and we have to say: We will not concede. We are a nation dating back 4,000 years, and you in a year or two will be long forgotten. Who will remember you? But Jerusalem will dwell on forever."

it is not YOU we don't like. It is your BEHAVIOR.

I like jews. But jews like this guy are making me reconsider.

He sounds like their hannity. put out there to say the things their right wing politicians WANT to say, but aren't allowed to. So they can just broadcast a COMMENTATOR's voice to the world, and allow him to take the backlash instead of the leader who shares the same views.

4000 years?

try 62 years.

The nuance here is that Israel never indicated these developments would be taken off the drawing board.

They agreed to suspend them in the interest of the talks.

Talks took too long, so the development is now going forward.

Curiously announced when Biden made his trip over there and arrived late to the meeting.

Yes. Curious. So its Biden's fault. Nice logic glenn beck.

"try 62 years."

Now that's funny! But on a serious note, it amazes me, all the anti-semites on this thread.

The US populace should demand their so-called "representatives" disengage from the Middle East and end all foreign aid to the Middle Eastern regions (Israel included).

The words "foreign entanglements" come to mind.

The Lavon Affair and the USS Liberty do as well.
