THE MEDIA IS VILE - VERY IMPORTANT FOR ALL FREEPERS - CONSIDER THE SOURCE - That is absolutely NOT what Bibi said.

That was a tweet from a reporter at Haaretz, a leftist rag in Israel.

This is what Bibi actually said:

“Benjamin Netanyahu issued his statement late Wednesday, hours after it was announced that Trump will be visiting Israel at the end of the month.

“The state of Israel respects all religions and strictly guarantees the rights of all its citizens,” the statement said. “At the same time, Israel is fighting against militant Islam that targets Muslims, Christians and Jews alike and threatens the entire world.”

This is from the US News & World Report here...

http://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2015/12/09/israels-netanyahu-rejects-trump-comments-on-muslims

Note how the magazine leads the article...

“Israel’s prime minister on Wednesday rejected Donald Trump’s recent statements about Muslims, saying Israel “respects all religions” as he faced calls to call off an upcoming visit by the Republican front-runner.”

In other words they take that tame statement from Bibi and spins it into “rejects Trump”. Absolutely vile.

So my advice to all of us here, before we start throwing people on our side under the bus, do a bit of due diligence on what you’re reacting to.

And that goes especially for the posters - poisoning us with the other side’s propaganda does us no good.

Thank you for the back story on this. The tweet quote did seem out of character for Netanyahu.

THANK YOU! I was trying to find what was actually said. Somewhat different than the headline. Surprise, surprise.

Thank You for taking the time to research this, Aquila48!

I was wondering about this myself (I know that's easy to write) and you found the truth. Way to go!

In other words they take that tame statement from Bibi and spins it into â€œrejects Trumpâ€.

Still it's hardly a ringing endorsement of Trump's scheme, is it?

You mean how the Trump supporters twised and spun Ted Cruz’s response to Donald Trump’s statement yesterday about keeping Muslims out of the US ?

Thanks for doing the homework. I’m glad to have this clarification.
