Israel/Palestine

(5,397 posts)Ruby_the_liberal asked you for some liberal Israeli sources and you responded with "Or you may try Satmar and Neturei Karta." That implied to me that you thought them to be liberal.
I said Haaretz sympathizes with Palestinians but it definitely has published anti-Iran articles.
So the left-leaning newspaper was critical of the right-wing authoritarian theocracy? Okay. That seems to make a lot of sense to me. Do you know of any leftists who support Iran?
Let's not have double standards. If Rense should be banned from here because someone in it is bigoted, then Jerusalem Post should be banned as well for its blatant Islamophobia.
There are no double standards. JP is a right-leaning publication, but it IS a legitimate newspaper with a fact-checking department and credibility and journalistic standards. (What "blatant Islamophobia" are you talking about? Link it up please.)
And Rense is a racist blog written by conspiracy theorists to advance a political agenda. And a disgusting political agenda at that. Your attempt at minimizing the impact of the fact that a man as odious as David Duke is a regular contributor by referring to it as "...someone in it is bigoted..." is truly alarming. What kind of publication has David Duke write for them? I'll tell you who... the same kind of site that regularly links to RealJewNews, an anti-Semitic Web site run by Milton Kapner, a die-hard anti-semite. The kind of place that denies the Nazis were involved in the Holocaust, and that Jews orchestrated 9/11. The kind of place that runs articles asserting that Monica Lewinsky was a Mossad agent who blew Clinton to then blackmail him. Basically the kind of place that features dozens and dozens of blatantly anti-semitic, hate-filled diatribes that bear little or no resemblance to basic historical facts known to anyone with a rudimentary education on their subjects.
Please re-read my posts.
Okay
For the record, antiwar and Rense are libertarian, not right wing. They oppose war as well as right/left wing extremism. It just happens that they are opposed to the crimes committed by Israel and the endless array of lies used by that country's apologists to defend it. That is why they are so vehemently attacked by neocons.
Wait a sec... you actually consider Rense to be a legitimate site??? That they are attacked by "neo-cons"
?) because they are opposed to lies told by Israeli apologists? Meaning you think they are speaking truth to power I suppose. Wow. I'm speechless. Are you really unable to detect the extremely high levels of anti-semitic hatred, insane conspiracy myths. Or do you really believe that Monica Lewinsky is some kind of Mossad super-spy relying on oral sex as the keystone in her intricate plan to crush the Palestinians?
No wonder you have trouble discerning which publications are liberal versus conservative and so on.
