Israeli leader resists calls to criticize Trump

Israel’s prime minister faced growing calls on Thursday to denounce President Donald Trump’s response to the racially charged violence and anti-Semitic displays in Charlottesville, Virginia, even at the risk of angering the American leader.

Benjamin Netanyahu has remained largely silent during the unfolding crisis in Virginia. While issuing a terse condemnation of neo-Nazis and racists, he has said nothing about Trump’s apparent defense of the actions of white supremacists during last weekend’s deadly violence. […]

Trump has acknowledged there were some “very bad people” at Saturday’s rally, where a woman was killed when a car slammed into a crowd of counter-protesters. But he also said there were “very fine people” on both sides.

The president’s equation of extremist hate groups and left-wing demonstrators brought condemnation from across the American political spectrum.

In Israel, most major newspapers condemned Trump’s comments on Wednesday. …

The left-wing and their media buddies are liars and frauds and inflame people with their BS rhetoric and narrative. How many times have we seen this dog and pony show? Duke Lacrosse, Zimmerman, Mike Brown “hands up don’t shoot”, Freddie Gray and on and on. Now Charlottesville and the Nazi terrorist.

Watch when this guy gets agitated, when the evidence comes out in court. He’ll get charged the highest charge as a political statement, but convicted? We’ll see, but these things never go well for the lefty liars and frauds.

Wouldn’t be a full day at the AP if they weren’t casting down the truth to the ground.

Yeah, they weave it in so seamlessly.

Reminds me of some (unknown) FReeper commenting on Josh Earnest lying for Obama - said he did so .... effortlessly.

Ha - look at this about Josh Earnest - tells quite the story:


Immediately following college, he worked in the Houston mayoral election, 1997 for Lee P. Brown.[5] Earnest served as a congressional aide to U.S. congressman Robert Marion Berry, from 2002–03, after working on Michael Bloomberg’s first campaign for mayor of New York City.[6]

After working on Capitol Hill, Earnest worked for the Democratic National Committee, from 2003–06, under both Terry McAuliffe and Howard Dean.[7] Earnest was communications director on Jim Davis’ campaign for governor of Florida, in 2006. He moved to Iowa, in December 2006, to serve as national communications director for then-Iowa governor Tom Vilsack’s presidential campaign.[8]

He then joined then Barack Obama’s presidential campaign in March 2007 as Obama’s Iowa communications director. After Obama’s Iowa caucus victory, Earnest worked as a top communications aide in several primary contests including South Carolina, Texas and Pennsylvania. During the 2008 general election, Earnest served as the campaign’s deputy communication director.[9] After Obama was elected president, Earnest moved to Washington, D.C. and served as the communications director for the presidential inaugural committee.

They DO work every angle.

Yahoo had an “article” where they found an Al-Qaeda guy IN SOMALIA that didn’t like our President!

Now THERE’S some fine “news” pimping by liberal Yahoo!

I’m waiting for them to find somebody in Upper North Elbonia, too.

I would bet $100 that Bibi won’t denounce Trump.
