US Condemns Israeli Singer for Comparing Obama to Hitler
inn ^ | 5/5/15 | Ari Yashar

Posted on 05/05/2015 6:02:51 PM PDT by Nachum

The popular and outspoken Israeli singer Amir Benayoun sharply criticized US President Barack Obama in a new song and went on to compare him with the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, to which the US Embassy in Tel Aviv responded with a condemnation.

The embassy's spokesperson told Walla!, "we were sorry to hear the repulsive descriptions. We condemn any provocative and racist language, whether it is against the president of the United States or against anyone else, and we believe that most Israelis think like us."

In the new song, which Benayoun posted in a video on Facebook this week, the singer allegorically describes how he got a cruel raven "with a small mustache" named "Obama" after the "ugly president," and tried to "inject him with a few drops of heart."

After his attempt to inject humanity in the raven failed, Benayoun sang that he was waiting for the cruel bird - which he referred to as "cruel trash" - to die, in an apparent metaphoric reference to Obama's term of office ending in 2016.

In the video a large raven is seen with a small picture of Obama's head placed in its mouth. This is not the first time Benayoun has released a song critical of Obama, after criticizing him over his attempts to try and divide Jerusalem last February.

How the song constitutes "racist language" as phrased by the embassy's condemnation remains unclear.

The only difference between Obama and Hitler are the Mustache and False Teeth

I wonder what this administration would do if we had an Obama cartoon contest? He is so thin skinned.

It’s absurd to compare a German national socialist petty tyrant who has no respect for the rule of law or his country’s constitution with a citizen-of-the-world socialist petty tyrant who has no respect for the rule of law or his country’s constitution. After all, Obama doesn’t have a nationalist bone in his body. He hates the country he is destroying, and that’s the big difference between Barack the First and his German twin.

Nothing racist, but to this administration everything is racist. From the article

In an interview with Walla! on Monday, Benayoun argued that Obama is working to destroy Israel through his desperate attempts to sign a nuclear deal with Iran, which even Obama has admitted will allow it to build a nuclear weapon.

In the new song, which Benayoun posted in a video on Facebook this week, the singer allegorically describes how he got a cruel raven "with a small mustache" named "Obama" after the "ugly president," and tried to "inject him with a few drops of heart."

After his attempt to inject humanity in the raven failed, Benayoun sang that he was waiting for the cruel bird - which he referred to as "cruel trash" - to die, in an apparent metaphoric reference to Obama's term of office ending in 2016.

"Obama armed Iran, he's about to give them the seal, Iran wants to destroy us," he reasoned. Referencing his song lyrics, he added, "I'm waiting for the death of this creature that is called a hater of Israel, I wish for the death of this raven called Pharaoh, called Hitler, called (Joseph) Stalin, all of these types."

Elaborating on his song, he said, "it's not necessarily Obama. I intended for the death of this creature that each time wants our death - at the moment the one working on that the most is Obama."

Hardly rap lyrics. Heck, if he'd said Mohammed, who wanted Jews dead too, instead of Pharaoh, Hitler, and Stalin he'd be invited to an Embassy party. Probably the mustache on the bird that upset them.

LOL! Hitler loved his country, whereas Bammy McThugger hates the country he's leading...

Hitler had a socialist health care plan.

I think it's safe to say that Hitler was anti-semitic.

Hitler was not a fan of the free market.

So there could be some valid comparisons.

But we don’t criticize Iran for calling the USA the Great Satan. That’s just dismissed as “for domestic consumption”.

All dictators have very thin skins. Dissent from the masses is not tolerated.
