NY Times Correspondent: Israeli 'Prejudice, Racism' Help Explain Obama Unpopularity
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 03/08/2010 3:25:59 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Are Israeli Jews much more bigoted than their American co-religionists? An astounding 77% of American Jews voted for Barack Obama. But according to the NY Times man in Jerusalem [with a little "help" from Chris Matthews], anti-black "racism" and anti-Arab "prejudice" are significant factors accounting for PBO's unpopularity in Israel.

Ethan Bronner, the Times' Jersusalem Bureau Chief, floated his theory to Matthews [in Israel this week] on this afternoon's Hardball. Asked by Matthews to rate American politicians from most to least popular in Israel, Bronner ranked them: Bill Clinton, Hillary clinton, Joe Biden, with PBO bringing up the rear.

Hmm, you mean it's not Obama's extensive flirtation with anti-semitism and it's sponsors?

Just what were those Israeli's thinking eh.

(/s) That'll be the day I ever believe anything in the NYT.

Hmmmmm, could Obama’s good buddy Jeremiah Wright have anything to do with it? After all he was Obama’s pastor for 20 years.

Yes, I heard about that, and how there was controversy over it. Sounds like son might have more sense than Dad.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Your dream has come true. I hate Obama because of the content of his character. I would hate the traitorous bastard even if he were white.

Any Jew that would trust Obama is a fool and suicidal.

So, the kid's in Israel and the old man is in New York ~ he's probably just floating ideas to show that he's an OK guy and not like those other Jews over there who will very soon need to defend themselves by exterminating Obama's close friends, the Ayatollahs.

Sorry Mr. Bronner, this is not the Middle Ages anymore, and Obama isn't the Prince of Padua.

Perhaps Israeli Jews don’t have white liberal guilt , and know that Obama is a white raised biracial, who is not only more aryan than Israelis but his bloodline is closer to himmler and goebbles

Like THESE racist Israelis? Wonder where Bonner has been that he doesn't seem to remember this color of Israeli Jews.
He sounds pretty racist to me.

Those are Ethiopian Jews and they have them. When I was in Israel I made frequent visits to a certain Yeshiva, there was always this same Ethiopian guy there studying Torah and participating in other activities. I kept looking at him ....I was somewhat amazed. He seemed quite happy there

Racism?

This Israeli has darker skin than Obama, and my father’s family trace themselves most recently to France. Sorry, the reasons Israeli Jewish people hate Obama are:

Obama went to the chuch of kill-the-Jews for 20 years

Obama’s first call was to Hamas.

Obama has always been close to kill-the-Jews Farakan.

Obama is a military illiterate.

Obama is weak and will weaken the USA and its allies, economically and militarily.

Obama has no balls to take care of Iran.

Obama hates Judeo-Christian society.

It’s really not that complicated.

American Jewish people need to get serious, or they are going to try to kill us -— again.
