Some People Are So Antisemitic, They Support Hezbollah
AUGUST 14, 2020 9:54 AM
... plenty of Lebanese people hate Hezbollah. The comments on Naharnet are filled with people arguing about Israel with plenty of them defending the Jewish state.
But Ben Norton, a pseudo-journalist who works for Max Blumenthals Grayzone site, is incensed at the Haddad tweet:
A white Westerner who considers himself a liberal is saying that Lebanese people who disagree with his rabid hate of Israel are sellouts for hating Hezbollah more. This is a typical, racist attitude that the only Arabs allowed to have an opinion are those whose opinions match a leftist white man.
The Grayzones apologetics for the Hezbollah terror group are something to behold. Heres a video where they blame everyone but Hezbollah for Lebanons problems, and where the person being interviewed says flatly that Israel doesnt want a functioning, civil Lebanon but prefers that it be divided into sectarian groups that hate each other, because that is what Zionism demands (starting at 20:00).
In the end, these peoples hate for Israel is so crazy that they feel they must support any group that opposes the Jewish state, no matter how illiberal or murderous they might be.
This is the power of antisemitism that anyone who hates Jews is an ally.

Here is more salute for Hezbolah, in 2017, attacking those that dare criticize Hezbollah...
Jacobin runs absurd piece on Lebanon by pro-Syrian rebel, anti-Hezbollah writer
30 November 2017
In an article on Saad Hariri and the political situation Lebanon for the worlds premier neo-Kautskyite magazine Jacobin, Elia El Khazen, a proud self-declared Trotskyite who despises Hezbollah, ludicrously claims that it is collaborating with the US.
Even more preposterously, El Khazens Jacobin essay tries to link Hezbollah to the US-led so-called war on terror, despite the US governments avowed commitment to crushing the group, and despite the fact that the US government has used the bogeyman of the war on terror to attack Hezbollah.
For context, El Khazen has outlandishly referred to Hezbollah as a fascist reactionary party, part of Syrian government-allied forces, which he called the most reactionary factions history has ever seen.
He wrote this in a 2016 screed condemning pseudo-leftists for not supporting (CIA-backed) Syrian rebels, published on the blog of Joey Ayoub, another fanatically pro-opposition troll who has relentlessly lobbied for regime change in Syria....Sectarians who portray Hezbollah as evil extremists...

Radical as they come:::
The writer there, on the extreme, anti Biden, Ben Norton on Twitter: Who else saw this coming? Nathan Robinson is yet another staunchly anti-Marxist libertarian socialist / anarcho-liberal who is now openly endorsing right-wing war criminal Joe Biden for president. Trump and Biden are almost politically indistinguishable on most major issues / Twitter

Shameful. The US Holocaust Memorial Museum is explicitly saying the Nazi Holocaust cannot be compared to anything else in history
This makes the phrase never again meaningless, erasing & whitewashing other genocides. Its a form of holocaust revisionism

THE SELECTIVE SKEPTICISM OF SALONS BEN NORTON
BY: GIDON SHAVIV FEBRUARY 23, 2016
In a factually challenged piece in Salon, Ben Norton displays a dazzling skepticism of information from Israeli sources alongside a great acceptance of unfounded anti-Israel conspiracy theories ( Prominent American professor proposes that Israel flatten Beirut a million-person city it previously decimated, Feb. 19).
Nortons article, a critical response to a Feb. 15 Haaretz Op-Ed by Professor Amitai Etzioni, is first and foremost based on the false premise that the professor called for flattening Beirut. Norton, a politics staff writer at Salon, avers: Etzioni concludes his piece implying Israel has no other option but to bomb the city of Beirut

BEN NORTONS SELECTIVE AND SHODDY REPORTING IN SALON
Writing about an Israeli airstrike on Hamas facilities in Gaza, Salons Ben Norton selectively cites context, downplaying the rocket threat and depicting Palestinian attackers as victims. He also presents outdated information as if its current.

BDS Cries Mccarthyism
Z. Raymond
Jun 8, 2016 · New York Governor Andrew Cuomo issued an executive order against BDS... In the Salon article Nortons description of BDS is false in itself, as its goal is not merely to pressure Israel to comply with international law and cease its alleged violations of Palestinian human rights but actually for the delegitimization and destruction of the only Jewish state.
Clearly a BDS supporter himself, Norton then moves on to his own delegitimization of Israel. He exaggerates Bernie Sanders criticism of Israel, and implies Israel indiscriminately bombs innocent Palestinians in Gaza, with no mention of Hamas
