Media Matters slammed for anti Semtitism

[keck553]

As Obama stands before AIPAC and lies about his support for Israel, his cozy partner and adviser, Media Matters hires anti-Semetic staff.

From Alan Dershowitz via Fox News (the "re-elect Obama" mainstream media is engaged in their usual blackout of negative news related to Obama)

"When you accuse Jews of dual loyalty, you invoke a canard that goes back hundreds of years and falls into the category of anti-semitism," Dershowitz said. "To the extent that Media Matters hired him to do that and is tolerating him, they have crossed the line into anti-semitism."
Dershowitz called on Media Matters to fire Rosenberg, but also called on the White House to disassociate itself from Media Matters -- warning that their cozy relationship would cause problems in the 2012 reelection campaign"

The professor directed his complaints at one staffer in particular, M.J. Rosenberg, for downplaying the Iranian nuclear threat and repeatedly employing the term "Israel firster" -- an epithet that implies somebody's loyalties are to Israel before America.

I still don't fully understand the concept of American/Israeli dual citizenship, so I really can't comment too much on this.

Is Media Matters fringe left or mainstream left?

I'll just say that it is George Soros funded and leave it at that.

It's not about dual citizenship. It's about accusing Jews of being more loyal to another country than to the one in which they live. Antisemites have been using it since Pharaoh, way back in Exodus 1.

8 Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph. 9 And he said unto his people: 'Behold, the people of the children of Israel are too many and too mighty for us; 10 come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there befalleth us any war, they also join themselves unto our enemies, and fight against us, and get them up out of the land.'

Is he mainstream left or fringe left?

He's a sad, sad man who needs a whole lot of prayer.

But to try and answer the question, I don't think you can categorize him with a left, right, middle or what ever silly names we've come to associate with politics because doing so marginalizes the serious worldwide repercussions of his machinations.

[Fenris]

He's just a troublemaker, IOW.

[Free Indeed]

Is he mainstream left or fringe left?

He's mainstream left. I'm fringe.

But it's ridiculous to accuse people of anti-Semitism for simply pointing out that dual citizens have dual loyalty. That's pretty obvious.

[BrianW]

LOL. I would rate that as one of the funniest understatements of the year so far.

All supporters of Israel do not have dual citizenship. Most American Jews don't.

Of course, that hasn't stopped antisemites from Pharaoh to Hitler of accusing Jews of dual loyalty.

I'm a proud American and just as patriotic as any one else out there. Having said that let me clarify that as a Christian and a child of God my God comes before my country.

We know that in the end all other nations will turn against Israel and if America is still standing when that day comes that means that America will turn against her too.

If this happens in my lifetime you can bet your bottom dollar & everything else you have that I would make my way to Israel any way that I could to take my stand on God's side of the battle.

Fringe left treated my the mainstream media as mainstream.

Your governing authority is the US constitution. You are bound by God to abide in it. (Romans 13). Failure to do so will find yourself being against God's will.

My governing authority is God Himself. After that we have a little thing called the constitution which, by the way, gives me the freedom to renounce my citizenship if I so desire. IF it comes down to a choice between America and God? Bye Bye America!

In the end times, when all other nations are at war against Israel and God has told us the He Himself will fight the battle for Israel..........you would still be waving an American flag and cheering on our troops? Against God?
