US Condemns Israeli Singer for Comparing Obama to Hitler
inn ^ | 5/5/15 | Ari Yashar

Posted on 05/05/2015 6:02:51 PM PDT by Nachum

The popular and outspoken Israeli singer Amir Benayoun sharply criticized US President Barack Obama in a new song and went on to compare him with the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, to which the US Embassy in Tel Aviv responded with a condemnation.

The embassy's spokesperson told Walla!, "we were sorry to hear the repulsive descriptions. We condemn any provocative and racist language, whether it is against the president of the United States or against anyone else, and we believe that most Israelis think like us."

In the new song, which Benayoun posted in a video on Facebook this week, the singer allegorically describes how he got a cruel raven "with a small mustache" named "Obama" after the "ugly president," and tried to "inject him with a few drops of heart."

After his attempt to inject humanity in the raven failed, Benayoun sang that he was waiting for the cruel bird - which he referred to as "cruel trash" - to die, in an apparent metaphoric reference to Obama's term of office ending in 2016.

In the video a large raven is seen with a small picture of Obama's head placed in its mouth. This is not the first time Benayoun has released a song critical of Obama, after criticizing him over his attempts to try and divide Jerusalem last February.

How the song constitutes "racist language" as phrased by the embassy's condemnation remains unclear.

But it would have been OK to do the same thing to Bush (or any other Republican). This entertainer violated one of the commandments of the entertainment world.

I don’t recall any protest against those BusHitler bumper stickers. I expected the Left to cry out and say Bush is not like us! I actually think 0bama is more like Hugo Chavez with progressive take over by government and villifying private industry for each step.

My “drawing” of “Pizz Mohammed” was a real hit...on a couple of forums a decade or so ago.!

Unlike Free Republic...there were some posters there who were not ZOTED,,and NOT happy with my sense of humor.

We condemn any provocative and racist language

What is racist about comparing Obama to Hitler? These people have been trained to just puke out the "racist" epithet on anyone who doesn't kiss dear leader's ring. What astounds me is that there are still people for home the label "racist" still means something.

Little makes me happier in life than the misery of a liberal. there is so much there to enjoy. I wasn’t always like that. But since feeling the effects of their insanity for over two decades, now I have been enlightened.
