‘The Protocols of the Elders of Saudi Arabia,’ by Joe Lieberman

by on November 10, 2008 8

The Connecticut senator has now put his name on the next version of Obsession, the video that says Islamists are in your town and about to burn down your church. "It's definitely here," Lieberman says. I wish I had made up that headline. Some rabbi said it in the Jewish Week: Jack Moline, a conservative in Alexandria, VA. Says the Jewish community needs to repudiate it.

    Why does the Clarion Fund share a mailing address with Aish HaTorah? Why is Obsession’s website hosted by Aish HaTorah? More importantly, this all raises the question of, “why is an Israeli organization with the mission of, ‘providing opportunities for Jews of all backgrounds to discover their heritage,’ participating in the production and distribution (in “swing states”) of anti-Muslim propaganda in the United States, and during an election campaign at that?"

    Again, tell me anything in the movie that you deem false.

    Why SAUDI Arabia, instead of just Arabia? Saudi Arabia takes its name after the ruling al-Saud family, nothing more nothing less. I think a better term would be The Protocols of the Elders of Arabia. I've used this term myself a number of times, to refer to the hysterical Islamophobic rantings of fascists and neo-Nazis, a good many of whom happen to be, shockingly, Jews.

    I sent a letter to SnagFilms to thank the company for dropping The Third Jihad from its online inventory.

    FROM "THE JEWISH WEEK":

    Atlantic Monthly staff writer Jeffrey Goldberg, a longtime critic of Islamist extremism, termed “Obsession” “the work of hysterics … designed to make naive Americans believe that B-52s filled with radical jihadists are about to carpet-bomb their churches, and are only awaiting Barack Obama’s ascension to launch the attack.

    “The tragedy of ‘Obsession’ is not that it is wrong,” he wrote in his Blog. “The tragedy is that it takes a serious issue, and a serious threat — that of Islamism — and makes it into a cartoon.”

    Tell me anything in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion that's false.

    To SOG:

    When you answer Ezra's question, please omit name-calling. Look at it as analyzing a computer model of a cabal, if you have the brains. Point to facts.
