Corporate Media FAIL: The Manufactured Controversy Over President Obama's Remarks on Israel

muslims dont want to kill the jews.
the muslim arabs in the region have had a social climate in wich the jews have served as the patsies up to the point of death, making them as a majority wanting to kill the jews.

not tricky stuff.

kind of like how our leaders (left and right alike) have sold us on the benefits to killing arabs wich has multitudes of us seeking that end.

at least they dont have free speech and can be excused to some degree.

as a people, jews dont hate mulsims.

of course you can find examples of how any peoples hate other peoples if ya want.but as a whole jews really dont waste energy hating others.

otherwise would thier be over a million palestinians living as israeli citizens?

Both you and Bambuu are correct. Most Americans do not realize that Netanyahu is a right-wing extremist like half the GOP. Very few News agencies in the States covered the fact that the President was praised by many in the Jewish community in the States for his speech. And as you say, many in Israel want peace as well and are not happy with Netanyahu.

Also, the President did not say anything new. All US Administrations since 1967 have said the same thing. But no, the MSM have to make it look like he is throwing Israel under the bus. They would rather cover the GOPs reaction, which if people would paid attention they would know by now that no matter what this President does, they are going to criticize him. This one-sided American media circus called the MSM is becoming an embrassment.

With the 24 hour news cycle, everyone wants to sensationalize everything that happens, regardless of if it is really an issue. The President is well liked and respected throughout the world. Just look at his reception in Ireland today. Many people in other countries cannot understand why this President is treated with such disrespect, especially after they fawned all over Bush, who was considered by many in the world as the most stupidest President ever.

RRRiiight...

President Obama did get Osama bin Laden and exposed the weaknesses of Al-Qaeda and the Radical Muslims. These terrorists have lost influence over many parts of the world, especially in the Middle East. Barack Obama appeals to moderates everywhere, regardless of religion or race. He has calmed the tensions in the two years he has been in office. It is only the Christian-Conservatives of the U.S. that have been fabricating these issues about Obama's ability to lead and make sure our country stays safe. If you have actual examples and evidence in which Obama is failing to keep the country safe, then by all means, share it. Just make sure it isn't coming from the same people that were pushing the B.S. that Obama was not born in Hawaii and he is a secret Muslim.

One more thing, "islamists" is a really dumb way of saying Muslim. There is no injury towards Muslims to call them "islamists". It only proves the stereotype of an ignorant, ethnocentric "Ameracun". By the way, I wonder how you can claim Hamas and terrorists have been trying to destroy Israel since 1948. Hamas was founded in 1987. At least you got the date right in which the Zionists claimed Palestine to be their promised land of Israel. Do you and your kind realize the territory had been called Palestine for well over a thousand years? It was only in 1967 that the U.N. recognized it as Israel. Hmmm, looks like you could use some "ed-you-kay-tion".

I'm not just another "lib-tard", as you typically label so many here on Current. I have my discrepancies with President Obama, so you can't go assuming I'm a die-hard fan. At the same time, with all Obama's faults, it sucks to admit, I think he has been one of the very people to show he is capable to lead this country in this new era. People like Sarah Palin and Donald Trump would have us going into war just because another leader hurt their precious feelings. As hyped up as Fox & talk radio used to get the ultra conservatives, they have lost their following. I am confident that more Americans would prefer to see religion take a seat and let the more rational minded leaders take the lead. You might get some sort of fulfillment from being snarky and brazen with your comments on Current. But you cant actually believe that you have hurt anyone's feelings or "stuck it to them" when not everyone here follows the same mentality. You just come off as a giant ass that isn't looking to have a discussion, but more interested in immature insults and rants. I pity you. As the saying goes, "Rudeness is a weak man's imitation of strength."

Very well said.

being against israeli policies doesnt make one an antisemite.
stating such things as "mass genocide" in regards to israel is a form of antisemtism, as israel is the only jewish state, and the claim isnt true but serves as a means to demonize them.

how does that assertion hold up to the reality that in 48 thier were about a million and a half palestinians and today thier are over 5 million?literaly genocide in reverse.

so its israels fault when the crazies hit us huh?not the crazies themselves?
it is because of support for israel, despite the reality that they have been up our ass's since before we supported israel?
despite the "big lie" being used, it is our fault not those who went on arab media and claimed the americans and british were bombing egypt in 67 when they werent?
jordan and turkey recieve almost no jihadist targeting despite thier open friendship with israel, but our attacks are cuz of israel?
is this the reality, or are you buying into the propaganda they want you to as part of an attempt to seperate allies in democracy?

we wont cuz thier are only so many free societies in the world willing to stand up to remain free in the face of tyrany and israel is one.everything else is secondary when it comes to the jihaist threat.that is why we are allies.cuz they make us allies, not the other way around that our alliance makes them jihadis.

like israeli land grabs.wich they use to trade for peace.making the land grabs not cuz they are expansionist, but the only choice they have thanks to the regional aggression.no aggression towards israel, no need to dangle a carrot to cease it.

I hope it happens in your and my life time...

the hold is freedom.we all love it and they are on the front lines defending it.

if those who actively seek to dismantle free societies were doing so from new zealand the relationship we have with israel would be the relationship we would have with australia, as they would be the front lines that we wouldnt want to fall.

the trade mark that seperates legitiamte criticism as opposed to racist espousals are the three d's.no matter what country this is applied to.
if ones method of criticizing another nation is to:
delegitimize
demonize
or disproportianalize standards in regards to them
it is a narrative based more in hate speech than legitimate criticism.that is why various people get booted from thier jobs.
from rick sanchez's error in this regard to juan williams doing the same thing to the muslim world.

I agree with you 100% but Israel will soon be isolating itself from the rest of the world if they keep up this up. And some of those on the left need to understand that Bibi is a far right-wing Israeli radical.

Yeah I know but when they have us by the Balls ie Goldman-Sachs and the Fed, we are really screwed...

That is true and everyone shares that exact sentiment.

Well bambuu I am not sure about Everyone... But I do agree with you... =)

"They are the trouble makers on the Block so let them defend themselves."

The attacked are the trouble makers. Please explain. I'm looking forward to a good laugh.

If they'd honored the Oslo Accords and not continued with the expanding settlements etc there was a good chance at having peace.

Extremism over Israel defending themselves against years of attacks? Now I'm laughing. You're an Obama lover. You'll defend anything he does even if he's wrong. Netanyahu schooled him. Now you're trying to defend Obama. Only anti-Semites don't see Israel's point of view. So are you a clinging Obama lover, an anti-Semite, or both?

Extremism is when you look at your man though rose colored glasses and can never admit he's wrong.

it is our concern about our own people that has us supporting israel.

unless the intel gathering on terrorist the cia has done is sufficient in your view?
cuz the gaff that was 9/11 in this regard isnt acceptable to me.wich the israelis knew about and let us know about in advance.too bad on that one we didnt remember how accurate and valuable israeli intel is.

but by all means lets not support israel.lets just hope free societies stand on thier own with our fingers crossed.lets just pretend that if israel falls that would b t end of it, and they wouldnt come after the great satan and just be content to destroy the little satan.

lets just risk our lives watching our cia struggle with thier learning curve, as thier assets keep blowing them up.what could go wrong right?

so now goldman-sachs is israeli?
but when we see the negative commentary swaying back and forth between a government and jewish people in the demonization department, we are totaly wrong to call foul on the hate speech front huh?

despite the palestinians not honoring anything really?
