Netanyahu's Brother-In-Law: Obama Is An Anti-Semite
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's brother-in-law Dr. Hagai Ben-Artzi on Wednesday called U.S. President Barack Obama an anti-Semite in an interview with Army Radio.
"It's not that Obama doesn't like Bibi," he referring to Netanyahu using his nickname. "He doesn't like the nation of Israel."
Netanyahu was quick to distance himself from Ben-Artzi's remarks, saying he completely disagrees with his brother-in-law.
Netanyahu said he has a deep appreciation for President Obama's commitment to Israel's security, which he has expressed many times, and also for the deep ties between the two countries.
Ben-Artzi was interviewed on Army Radio to provide background on the prime minister. He told the interview, "Look how symbolic it is that your son took part in and won a Bible quiz, whose theme this year is Jerusalem and its connection to Israel, and you, his father, are being tested and asked to prove the strength of the nation of Israel's ties to Jerusalem."

4. Oh, horseshit. Legitimate crticism is not
anti-semitism racism, I'm sick of that card being played all the time to shut down any reasonable debate whatsoever. Now, if he'd said something like "That's the way those Jews republicans are, so it doesn't surprise me", or "we have to talk money 'cause that's the only thing Jews conservatives understand", or anything else like that, THAT is anti-semitism racism. NOT legitimate concerns or criticism. And given that we provide billions and billions of dollars of aid, including military, per year, we have the right to express such legitimate concerns and criticism.
fixed it up so you can see the 'O'rany...
