Netanyahu Attacks US Media As 'Fake News'
thehill.com ^ | 05/08/17

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu borrowed a line from President Trump on Sunday, referring to CNN, the New York Times and other outlets as “fake news.”

Netanyahu was upset with reporting by the two news groups about a new political document from the Palestinian group Hamas.

“Ever wonder what fake news is?” Netanyahu asked in a social media posting. “Last week, headlines in CNN, Al Jazeera and The Guardian said Hamas now accepts a Palestinian state along the 1967 lines. The New York Times headline called this ‘moderation.’”

“The intimation is that Hamas now accepts the State of Israel,” Netanyahu continued. “Great news, right? Well except for one small detail: This is a complete distortion of the truth.” CNN’s headline on the new Hamas document reads: “Hamas says it accepts '67 borders, but doesn't recognize Israel.”

The New York Times in a May 1 front-page headline wrote: “Hamas Tempers Extreme Stances In Bid For Power."

While the Hamas document states a willingness for a Palestinian state along the 1967 borders, the group continues to back terrorism, Netanyahu argued, and has no interest in peace with Israel.

“It's bad enough Hamas lies to the world, we don't also have to lie to ourselves,” Netanyahu said. “Hamas murders women and children. Its launched thousands of missile attacks at our homes. It brainwashes Palestinian kids in suicide kindergarten camps.

The only reason an entity whose name means “Violence” would “accept” a state of Israel on the 1967 “borders” (actually armistice lines), or pretend to, is because those lines were always indefensible and they would be the perfect staging areas for a final assault on the Jewish state.

The “moderate” position is for you to surrender your life, your liberty, your property.

Whenever the MSM uses that word run for your life!

Do secular Jews have a death wish? “Jews primarily live in 4 areas of the US: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, and New York with smaller populations in Chicago, Denver, Las Vegas, the rest of the Northeast, and King County Washington.

Most of the heavily Jewish areas are also among the most Democrat-leaning places in the country. A Jewish person living in New York or New Jersey will have a social circle of people that are almost all Democrats; the same is true is for San Francisco and Los Angeles.”

It is a “virtue signaling” issue :-)

Half of America’s Jews live in around 40 Congressional Districts that are overwhelmingly Democrat in any case. Around 20 CDs have a Jewish population of 10% or more. No CD comes very close to having a Jewish majority. Three-quarters of America’s Jews live in fewer than 100 CDs.

I don't know where you got this data from, but it is incorrect where you say that the SF area is in the top 4 Jewish population areas. San Francisco and environs has a significantly smaller Jewish population than quite a number of others, a lot of which you didn't even mention.

Nonetheless, your point that Jews in the US tend to live in 'Rat infested areas is true. But the Jewish population as a whole, with rare exception, is too small to make the difference in voting 'Rats into major offices.

Amen! That's the crux of the matter, even the lefty media knows it but is afraid to tell its customers the truth.

If they aren't "Russian" ie Jews from Warsaw-Pact occupied countries who came here as refugees from communism, then statistically yes. (I'm kind of an exception) Over 75% of Ashkenazi Non-Orthodox, non-Russian Jews are liberal and among younger Jews, many wouldn't even see the end of Israel as a personal tragedy. Non-Orthodox Sephardic and Yemeni Jews (esp Syrian) are generally better. I fear that barring an acceleration of Muslim (and other POC) attacks on Jews in America, American Jewry will become bifurcated on politics, culture, and Israel.
