Netanyahu Tactics Anger Many U.S. Jews, Deepening a Divide By LAURIE GOODSTEIN

MARCH 20, 2015

Long before the latest election in Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu was a polarizing figure among American Jews. But even many of his supporters said this week that they were appalled at his last-minute bid to mobilize Jewish voters by warning that Arabs were going to the polls in droves, and his renunciation of a two-state solution to the Palestinian crisis.

Mr. Netanyahu’s party won the election and cheers from harwkish American Jews. But in interviews this week, rabbis, scholars and Jews from across the country and a range of denominations said that with his campaign tactics, he had further divided American Jews and alienated even some conservatives, who had already suspected that he was more committed to building settlements than building peace with the Palestinians.

Of course the solution to any “deepening divide” is to increase the degree to which you ignore what is being said by those on the other side of the divide.

When the editorial staff of the NYTimes is frog-marched to the gas chambers, they will still be cheering for their poor misunderstood captors.

I think the NY Slimes meant to say anti-Israel Pro-Obama self-hating Jews in name only. Wait, the Slimes would never print the truth. What was I thinking?

SSDD.

The actual frontpage of The New York Times of November 11, 1938
did not mention that the German Nazi government actually initiated the NewYorkTimes-supported attacks.
Instead, the New York Times lied and protected the Nazis, falsely claiming that Goebbels called to stop it.

This is rich.

Jews, who are predominately Democrats, have their knickers in a twist over PM Netanyahu doing what US Democrats do before every domestic election—Work-up the base.

Not “many US Jews”,
“many US Liberals” who happen to be ethnically Jewish.

Well, I’m angry that US Jews keep voting for people who are (at best) soft on head-choppers, and (most likely) aiding them at every step. How many Jews have died because of Democrat complicity? The sooner we realize the left is incompatible with real Americans, the sooner we can go our separate ways and be happy.

Many NY Jews would support a nuclear bomb on Tel Aviv as would the NYT.

Benjamin Netanyahu was a polarizing figure among American Jews...

It never fails -- never. The unimaginative just never strays very far from their playbook.

Is there ever a popular conservative figure who isn't labeled by the left as divisive? Ever?

Have you ever seen guys who really are divisive, such as Obama, ever labeled "divisive? It's always the left's tactic to label the person who does not tow the liberal line as divisive. And then you see article after article asking who so and so conservative "is proving to be such a divisive figure..."

It never fails. Same old propaganda tools used to besmirch and impugn.

Oh yes, acting conservative ALWAYS “deepens divides” and “alienates even some conservatives”. Like clockwork. Do they get their articles out of a bag?

All the Jews I know loathe the dictator. Don’t know who these vermin are interviewing; perhaps a few Soros Capos, ya think?

Unfortunately the Jewish Elite in the USA are not Israel’s friend. They are mostly progressive, democrat liberals first, second, third and last. Their influence in the media and Hollywood is great. The media and Hollywood are mostly anti Israel.

Israel’s friends in the USA are the conservative right.
Mark Levin is Jewish. Mark Levin is also a hardcore conservative constitutionalist. Mark Levin is also a friend of Israel.

Those that love conservative values and The Constitution of The United States are Israel’s friends. Those that do not value this are either indifferent, as is the Jewish Elite, or actively hostile to Israel as is the President of The United States.
