Israeli PM Calls Emanuel and Axelrod "Self-Hating Jews": Paper

Haaretz:

[...] Netanyahu appears to be suffering from confusion and paranoia. He is convinced that the media are after him, that his aides are leaking information against him and that the American administration wants him out of office. Two months after his visit to Washington, he is still finding it difficult to communication normally with the White House. To appreciate the depth of his paranoia, it is enough to hear how he refers to Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod, Obama's senior aides: as "self-hating Jews."

Does BeeBee realize what a favor he's doing for Axelrod and Emanuel? Of course he does.

[Hdaryl01]

Gee........sounds pretty ANTISEMITIC to me................

[Lasnoe]

You guys don't get it..... Rahm and Axelrod's policies aren't only endangering Israel they are also endangering America..... unless you all think...

-closing Gitmo
-mirandizing enemy combatants
-cutting missile defense spending (when N.K. is testing nukes)
-driving the US into massive debt
-not displaying leadership (wont meddle with Iran, will meddle with Honduras)
-Putting pressure on allies like Israel not on enemies.
-cold with Netanyahu, warm with leaders of tyrannic regimes

...all make the US, Israel and the world a safer place.

Part I

:-))))))))­))))))))))­))))))))))­)

Brilliant! Thanks for the weekend laugh; I LOVE nonsensical humor!

But you forgot a few lines:
"They hate our freedoms"
"We go into countries to bring them democracy"
"You're either with us or against us"
"(Pick your bête noire) form an Axis of Evil"
“I BELIEVE that God wants me to be president."

Last but not least:
"The economy is going down the tubes with Obama’s Presidency"

And I’ll take the liberty to give some food for thought as well:
“An American-led overthrow of Saddam Hussein & and the replacement of the radical Baathist dictatorship with a new government more closely aligned with the United States would put America more wholly in charge of the region than any power since the Ottomans, or maybe even the Romans.": David Frum, speechwriter for USA president, George W Bush

"For bureaucratic reasons we settled on one issue, weapons of mass destruction, because it was the one reason everyone could agree on.” Paul Wolfowitz, USA Deputy Defence Secretary in an interview in the July 2003 issue of magazine Vanity Fair

[Lasnoe]

after making my way through most of your nonsensical clutter i agree with your final point.... which really isn't the point your making....

the second they said WMD's i said they are making a mistake by putting all their eggs in one WMD basket.... why??? what if they didn't find any.....

Fact of the matter is if you wanna argue Iraq thats a whole other debate.... I think going into Iraq was the right move for various reasons... I'll be more than happy to discuss them if you want to take the debate there....

judging from your earlier post though.... i would assume i'd be wasting my time

Part II

"This fight has nothing to do with soldierly gallantry or principles of the Geneva Convention. If the fight against the partisans is not waged with the most brutal means, we will shortly reach the point where the available forces are insufficient to control the area. It is therefore not only justified, but it is the duty of the troops to use all means without restriction, even against women and children, so long as it ensures success". - - Wilhelm Keitel, chief of staff of the Supreme Command of the Armed Forces of Germany [Dec. 16, 1942]”

"One of the great attractions to patriotism, it fulfils our worst wishes. In the person of a nation we are able, vicariously; to bully and cheat while feeling we're profoundly virtuous.” Aldous Huxley

“Our real enemies are the people who make us feel so good that we are slowly, but inexorably, pulled down into the quicksand of smugness and self-satisfaction": Sydney Harris

[Lasnoe]

did you cut and paste or actually commit these quotes to memory....?

[piul05]

Part III

“The constitutional right of free speech has been declared to be the same in peace and war. In peace, too, men may differ widely as to what loyalty to our country demands, and an intolerant majority, swayed by passion or by fear, may be prone in the future, as it has been in the past, to stamp as disloyal opinions with which it disagrees": Louis D. Brandeis

“The worst forms of tyranny, or certainly the most successful ones, are not those we rail against but those that so insinuate themselves into the imagery of our consciousness, and the fabric of our lives, as not to be perceived as tyranny": Michael Parenti
"Treason doth never prosper: what's the reason? Why if it prospers, none dare call it treason": Sir John Harrington

"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge", Charles Darwin

Have a nice weekend.

[Lasnoe]

your quotes mean nothing without context.....see, not everyone has the same voices ringing in their heads as you might..... you can't just paste quotes on here and pretend you've some how made a case.......

here's one i can use against you and your ilk

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences." - C.S. Lewis

Sounds a lot like what you libs are trying

[arle]

You just keep /right/ on attacking the only friends you have in the world that will turn a blind eye to your crimes, Israel. Sooner or later the Obama administration will get it through their skulls that you guys just are /not/ worth the billions we waste arming you just so you can wage massacres on trapped civilian populations.

[forpeacealways]

Well I guesse your wrong because he is still "waste" arming.

But your right, Hamas is waging massacres on a trapped civilian population in Gaza.

[MaxExpose]

Well I guesse your wrong because he is still "waste" arming.

But your right, Israel is waging massacres on a trapped civilian population in Gaza.

[Whinger]

Sounds like Bibi is fixing to throw his comforter out of his cot, you always hurt the one you love!

[MarcusT]

He doesn't need them:

"...but any agreement with the Palestinian people must preserve Israel's identity as a Jewish state with secure, recognized, defensible borders. And Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel and it must remain undivided."

Barak Obama, June 4, 2008. Addressing the AIPAC conference 12 hours after securing his party's nomination

[Layman23]

Sorry Benjamin. US cant be a puppet to your whim and fancy anymore. You were transplanted on someone else's land due to the sympathy of the holocaust. Learn to live together. We have paid a heavy price over the years babysitting thankless people like you.

And yeah, thanks for planting false intelligence on iraq and handing it over to your buddy paul wolfowitz.

[TheBaffler]

Does Bibi really think the ziovermin Emanuel isn't on his side?

[roshni]

Netanyahu is the Israeli Cheney.
Cancel all aid to Israel!!!.

[who38]

And he has the power to order an airstrike on Iran. Anybody scared yet?

[AmazingChicken]

OK, if that's what he says, let's go with that. I'm good with it.

um, Henry, cancel that subsidy check for Israel, would you please?

[peacegurl48]

Why? Because they are not right wing-ideologues like him?

[Adam11]

you will NEVER hear or see

Italian American who says Italia first
irish American who says Irland first
Swedish, Polish, Hungerian..so on..if they born usa they Americans first.. why not the J.e.w.s.??

[Tuckerndfw]

In the interest of accuracy, I've known lots of Jews.

In real life, I have never heard a Jewish person say, "I'm Jewish-American."

I've never known anyone who announced he was Jewish unless it was relevant to the conversation.

[unclefesta]

Yes, we also have to remember the magnificent work many Jews have done on behalf of the underdog.

It's a pity the community has been hijacked by some disastrous people who use the term self-hating to intimidate other Jews into toeing the line. It's a type of McCarthyism

[who38]

But you will admit that for many Jewish voters in the US. one of the questions is always...."Is this good for Israel?" This question is not even broached in private but is discussed in public and is pandered to by politicians. Ever heard anyone say...."Is this good for Italy...or Ireland....or Sweden?"

I believe that the only question should be.... "Is this good for the US?"

[Palemoon]

Just in the last few weeks, I did see Italian-Americans cheering against the USA in the Confederation Cup in South Africa when the US played Italy. Also, when the US played Honduras in a tuneup match prior to that Cup tourney, with the US as the hometown, the crowd was heavily in favor of Honduras, lol. I guess all of the Honduran-Americans aren't loyal to their own country of birth either.

I could go and on, but keep in mind, some of our most infamous spy scandals involved people who were something-American and loyal to a country in the middle east they never saw or ever visited. ;o)

[Ponderus]

Sowhatdoes­thatmakeBi­bi?Self-de­structive?

[unclefesta]

I'm sure Axelrod and Emanuel's self-esteem is just fine but maybe they're not mad about you Bibi

[magnolialiberal]

I'll bet!

I don't know a lot about Rahm Emanuel, but I would not try to piss him off. Or manipulate him through the media.

[who38]

On the other hand, Benny's statement may be a false flag.

[grumbles]

Oh Benny! We hardly know ya!
