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

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.

Oh, c’mon. It’s obviously racist because anything critical of a person of color is racist.

The Bush administration never condemned the left for the same.

Obama Nazi posters on telephone poles all over America, for miles and miles.

I love it. It is like the third verse of my The Trayvon Martin Lied. Great minds and artists think alike.

There’s a big difference between Hitler and Obama!

For one thing, we know Hitler was not the Anti-Christ...

Barack Hussein Obama is an affirmative action Hitler. This is not a Godwin either. While Obama needs a teleprompter to go to the bathroom; Hitler had a great memory and would not have needed such a device. While Hitler built the autobahn and it is still in use today; Obama...built Solyndra and that was a real boondoggle. Hitler murdered six million Jews directly; Obama wants to lead from behind in such an endeavor; i.e., having Iran murder ; the six million Jews of Israel.

Also, the Germans did not vote Hitler into office (even though he was wildly popular); however, America voted the affirmative action moron into office twice. America can be so proud /sarc

It seems like an extremely fair comparison to me. “Fuhrer” is one of his many nicknames around our house.

No doubt, Hitler was a monster. But Hitler was very popular in the 1930s all the way up to 1942-3 or so until the war went against Germany.
But whatever you say about Hitler, he was passionate and obsessed (unhealthily of course) about Germany as a great, powerful and superior society.
0bama is not yet a monster. But 0bama is not a nationalist. He is a globalist and has a passion for destroying America as an economic and military power. He wants America to be weak and poor like a 3rd world country out of a desire for revenge and restitution. He has an unmet psychological need since childhood (no father figure) that has resulted in a unconscious sense of inferiority that is manifested in excessive narcissism. Communist ideology and delusions of racial victimhood have provided 0bama with the perfect rationalization for him to remain highly functional despite his psychopathology. Like many totalitarian ideologues, these beliefs have rendered his psyche impervious to the reality and consequences of his disastrous policies.
The globalists selected the perfect totalitarian nut job to destroy America.

You people just don't get it yet- ANY adverse criticism of the American mulatto illegal alien president is obviously wacis.

To whom was Charlie Chaplin cruel? His ex-wives? He had a mustache, didn’t he. He even imitated Hitler and imitated a Jewish barber who was imitating Hitler. Whom else could he have meant?

Comparing Obama to Hitler is racist? Who’s running the embassy over there, Farakan?

Likely the US Embassy in Tel Aviv condemning the song was good publicity. Hope it really takes off!
