Netanyahu's Minions Place Hideous Ad in NYT

[kpete]

From The Jerusalem Post:

A wall-to-wall array of Jewish groups condemned an ad accusing National Security Adviser Susan Rice of turning a blind eye to genocide.

“Susan Rice has a blind spot: Genocide,” said the ad appearing in Saturday’s New York Times, touting a talk on Iran this week in Washington hosted by Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, the New Jersey-based author and pro-Israel advocate.

As soon as the Sabbath ended, Jewish groups rushed to condemn the ad. The American Jewish Committee called it “revolting,” the Anti-Defamation League called it “spurious and perverse”, the Jewish Federations of North America called it “outrageous” and Josh Block, the president of The Israel Project, said it was “entirely inappropriate.”

1. I've had it!

I am sick to fucking death of this absolute lunacy pitting this group against that group.

Fuck all the bigots, the liars, the racists, the extremists, the fanatics, the misogynists, the corporate asswipes using illegal laws to further the causes of the filthy rich, the oligarchs, the bankers and anyone and everyone else that says or does ANYTHING that in anyway tries to lessen anyone.

Just fuck them all!

12. They Are Wicked, Deceitful and Spiritually Filthy

When is this blowhard Bini going to stick up for the Armenians who were genocided? And how about the all the Palestinians Israel keeps murdering?

[marym625]

20. I am staying out of

The Israel/Palatine discussion. This is beyond that. And I have no respect for Bibi.

This shit is inexcusable and these people, This World, the value network, are Americans. They're based in New Jersey. This is dirty, disgusting, just makes me physically ill.

[cwydro]

14. Dayum.

I gotta agree.

[marym625]

21. Thanks.

[Gman]

19. Nice rant

And I couldn't agree more.

[marym625]

22. Thank you

2. Yes. and do you want to see some awesome tweets calling out the ad for what it is?

Ad in today's NYT slandering Susan Rice is wrong on the facts -- she's a fierce defender of human rights and Israel's security.

Ad in NYT is vile and contemptible and has no place in legitimate discourse. Susan Rice is owed an apology.

7. Thanks Cha.

Those are good tweets. I'm glad this is backfiring.

I am so angry. Just in case that wasn't obvious.

Mahalo nui loa, Cha.

[Cha]

9. You're welcome, Mary.. it was quite obvious.. so I thought the tweets would help.. they did me.

[marym625]

10. They did

Still in amazement and angry but calmer.

Seriously, don't know how much more has to happen before there's a real revolt.

[Nye Bevan]

3. Does the ad contain factual errors? (nt)

[Cha]

6. What do you think? There's more than a few intelligent, caring people sticking up for Susan Rice.

[Scootaloo]

8. A better question is, can you prove that all of its claims are factual? Start with the title.

Burden of proof, and all.

[GeoWilliam750]

30. George Schultz

I twice listened to a tape of his testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee, and I did not hear the statement quoted in the ad by Rabbi Boteach. Perhaps my hearing is bad.

I wonder if anyone else heard it.

[Scootaloo]

5. The organization's mission statement

This World: The Values Network’s mission is to disseminate universal Jewish values in politics, culture, and media, making the Jewish people a light unto the nations.

Grotesque and exploitative.

This part though, makes me laugh

the Anti-Defamation League called it “spurious and perverse”

They must have lost the bid to put their own ad on that page, i guess.

[spanone]

11. shame. shame. shame.

13. Maybe it's time to declare our independence from Israel eom

[leftynyc]

23. Except it wasn't an Israeli

who posted or paid for the ad. It was an American which is made quite plain in the article if you had bothered to read it.

[grossproffit]

33. +1

[whereisjustice]

35. I read it. So what? You think it was coincidence? Go start a fight somewhere else. I'm not playing

[leftynyc]

39. Then you know what I said

was 100% true. I know the truth is difficult for some people when it doesn't conform to their cartoon version of things but I've given you no reason to be so rude.

[Hekate]

15. Bibi is just not making any friends, is he? That ad is disgusting, and I'm glad to see so many ...

...Jewish groups condemning it for the lie that it is.

[leftynyc]

29. Bibi's approval rating has INCREASED this year

among Democrats and Republicans in the US:

[grossproffit]

32. Great to Israel support so strong.

[leftynyc]

40. I was surprised at those numbers

I obviously spend too much time here and have myself fallen for the delusion that DU is a cross section of the US.

[gregcrawford]

16. Netanyahu just sealed his own fate

He's been a world-class asshole since the first day he set foot on the international stage, and he's only gotten more arrogant and insufferable since then. Israel, and the world, deserve better.

[MBS]

24. + 100

Well said.

[oldandhappy]

17. Here is the email for ThisWorld.USA

Write and tell them what you think of the ad. Thanks.

27. ^^This^^

[sabrina 1]

36. Exactly! And If this isn't enough to get his visitor's visa removed

and a pernament ban on him coming to this country, then I don't know what would be.

Only someone who believes they have control over this country would dare to do something like this.

[malaise]

37. Sadly too many administrations have made the likes of Bibi feel

indispensable.

[sabrina 1]

38. Hopefully that is going to change. Frankly I think we only support Israel because we use it as a

base in the ME. Israel should watch what we do to those we support when they are no longer useful to us and start making friends with their neighbors.

[leftynyc]

41. It's not going to change

By large numbers, Americans support Israel - and according to the recent poll referenced in the thread posted at TPM, they also approve of Bibi in numbers that I found surprisingly high. And no, that's not the only reason we support Israel and we have 43 American military personnel there so no, we're not using it as a base of operations. (I got that number of troops here: https://www.vetfriends.com/US-deployments-overseas/historical-military-troop-data.cfm )

[sabrina 1]

42. It will change it's already changing.

[leftynyc]

45. Just going to ignore that poll

that shows bibi's numbers rising among both Democrats and Republicans? Alrighty then. I guess I can also expect you to ignore the recent Pew poll that showed a 16% approval rating for the Palestinians also. And I'm sure I'm going to get that pony any day now because I really, really want it.

[RKP5637]

26. Outrageous! n/t

[Gothmog]

28. This ad is disgusting

Bibi and his allies are losing it

[AtomicKitten]

31. Jackasses.

[hifiguy]

34. No wonder Netanyahoo gets along so well with Captain Bourbonator

Two disgusting scumbags cut from precisely the same rancid. moldy cloth.

[Octafish]

43. Anybody remember Rachel Corrie?

She was crushed by an Israeli bulldozer razing a Palestinian's home.

http://www.rachelcorrie.org/

[leftynyc]

47. And what does that have to do

with an American rabbi putting this ad in an American paper?

[Octafish]

48. Rachel Corrie should be remembered as one who opposed terror, murder and hypocrisy.

What's your problem with me mentioning her?

[leftynyc]

49. Other than it having

absolutely nothing to do with an American rabbi putting an ad in an American paper and you feel it important to bring up a issue from Israel? Now - let's think for a second. Should I be mentioning the fact it's snowing again? It would as much to do with this AMERICAN story as what you posted. Unless, of course, you think a story about Jews anywhere makes bringing up something that happened in Israel appropriate. Is that what you're claiming?

[Octafish]

50. No. I'm trying to post about Rachel Corrie also opposing that kind of hypocrisy.

You know: Where one person thinks they're better than another. On tee vee, they're called republicans. In the world, they're called fascists.

[leftynyc]

51. Sigh

No, that's not what fascist means. Just like yesterday had nothing to do with treason although so many DUers are throwing that word around as well. It's gotten to the point where people are just making shit up now. What does Rachel Corrie have to do with this story at all? We both know what you were trying to do - tie Israel into a story about Jews. Why don't you just admit it?

[Octafish]

52. Why should I clear what I post with you?

"We both know what you were trying to do - tie Israel into a story about Jews."

[leftynyc]

53. I never said you had to clear

anything with me - where on earth did you get that stupid idea? I'm asking you why - in a story about an American rabbi putting an ad in an American paper - you felt the need to throw in a subject that has nothing to do with Americans at all but about something that happened in Israel. Which you still have not answered and I'm guessing that by now, everyone knows why.

[Octafish]

54. Don't call me stupid, leftynyc. You don't want to know what I think of you.

BTW: As long as it's within SOP, I can post what I want without having to explain anything to you.

[leftynyc]

55. And yet again you

misrepresent what I said. I said the idea that you had to clear anything with me was stupid. And you can post whatever you want just like I can ask for an explanation whenever I want. It hasn't gone unnoticed that you still haven't answered my very simple question but I think I've made my point clearly. And frankly, I couldn't possibly care less what you think of me.

[Octafish]

56. Did you Alert because I mentioned Rachel Corrie?

"It hasn't gone unnoticed that you still haven't answered my very simple question but I think I've made my point clearly."

What does that mean? I've answered you several times, all politely. If you don't like my answer, too bad -- so sad.

[leftynyc]

57. I don't whine to the moderators

about posts unless it's clearly a troll which you clearly are not. I just think you're eager to conflate a story about Americans into something that will bash Israel. I thought I had made that clear. And no - you still haven't explained what Rachel Corrie has to do with the topic of this thread. You've danced around an explanation but frankly, that's all I expected.

[Octafish]

58. Then what business is it of yours how I reply to ''Netanyahu's Minions Place Hideous Ad in NYT''?

I'm interested in justice -- for Israel, for victims of the Holocaust, for Palestine and the people of the Occupied Territories, and for Rachel Corrie.

Clear now?

[leftynyc]

59. It was clear before

You find it appropriate to bring Rachel Corrie into any story having to do with Jews (that HAS to be it since this story has nothing to do with Israel). I got it. I think everyone has gotten it.

[Octafish]

60. Yeah, because Netanyahu is an atheist private citizen.

BTW: I find it telling that you have not expressed any concern for Rachel Corrie.

[leftynyc]

61. And there it is

Thank you.

44. Disgusting. They have no shame. nt
