      The dude compared the start of the war to 9/11. He either demonstrably or intentionally compared things that have no commonality. One group attacked in the name of extremism, twisted and misunderstood religious ideology. The other wants to eliminate a whole ethnic group because of where they live.

        Ehhh, it’s closer than you think. People in the Middle East hated Americans for the decades of war we brought to their land. We killed their brothers, uncles, fathers, children, etc. - it’s not hard to understand how that might cause extremist attitudes against the US. Please don’t forget or whitewash the horrible things America has done.

        Palestinians hated Israel for all the same reasons, (plus several more).

        In addition, a terrorist act against civilians was the instigation of both events, leading to a one-sided war obliterating the offending nation.

        This in no way excuses Israel for what they are doing. Killing and starving civilians is wrong, and only serves to embolden the extremists. We know because that’s what happened to the US.

    This was just an exercise in manufacturing consent. He went on tv. Every part of the speech received raucous applause. The newspapers like the NYT wrote glowing headlines. And causal U.S. observers saw Israel positively; while the rest of the world watched in horror as the US government welcomed the modern day Hitler into the halls of Congress.

      Actually all the things they checked have some sort of truth to them. But obviously omitting details is also a form of lying etc.

    They don’t care if he’s honest or not, all that matters is that he receives billions of dollars in aid and hands it to American billionaires in exchange for weapons.

      yamaka

      I think you mean Yarmulke?

      Actually, according to Wikipedia that’s an accepted spelling, but I’ve never ever seen it spelled that way before, and the source for that spelling is “jewish.shop”, so I don’t know.

        Oh! I never realized. Maybe the spelling I used comes from people hearing it and having no idea how to spell it and eventually it became “accepted”.
