Racism. Pure and pristine anti-Arab racism in the U.S. Why do they hate us? Because this is the most important foreign policy issue the US faces, and we are about to hear from a rightwing Jewish leader, but the Arab moderate making a case for Palestinian rights is denied a platform. MSNBC cut away from a segment of the speech just as Abbas was saying “another Nakba.” To what? To Andrea Mitchell talking to Dennis Ross about the need to attack Iran. What planet are they living on?
Oh and here is rightwinger Netanyahu getting his full speech aired…
Planet zio, of course. The US media is a full stop accomplice in the zionist enterprise, more so even than the sychophantic, ass-kissing US government.
Really, it’s the Arabs who should be asking “why do they hate us?”. Pretty much every day America and israel are killing either Arabs or moslems, have done so for years – since way before 9/11.
And don’t be so shocked, Phil, American zionist jews in the media always smother Arab (free) speech every day of the week – have done so since way before 9/11 too.
Oh yeah and btw I hear Arab TV stations were broadcasting both Natanyahy and Abbas in full.
And one more thing: I find the combination of zionism, plastic surgery and copious botox (read Andrea Mitchell) utterly repulsive and “savage” to behold. One of the main reasons I tore up my cable contract 4 years ago – too many ugly people saying too many ugly lies.
I feel sorry for mainstreammedia monitors like Phil Weiss – to have to watch that evil garbage day in and day out – man that really sucks when life’s so short.
Good point about anti-Arab racism in the U.S. But calling Abbas an Arab moderate is a bit of a stretch. Let’s not forget that he is no longer the elected President of the Palestinian National Authority. His term expired in 2009 and he now serves at the pleasure of the U.S. and Israel. If he were ever to do anything other than provide cover for their interests he would be gone in a jiffy. Let’s hope there is a special place in someone’s hell for people like Abbas. And frankly, I think giving either him or Netanyahu an international forum is absurd. But that’s the world we live in. We always let the sociopaths run our planet.
“What planet are they living on?” The Israeli lobby planet. Those cut over to Dennis Ross and Andrea Mitchell interviews on Iran is just more evidence about who controls what those cameras cover. No I lobby influence there. At least becoming more obvious to folks.
As Chris Matthews said to me when I challenged him in person on his lack of coverage on the I/P issue. Chris “I don’t control the programming”
So how is it that Chris Hayes is stepping out where none of the other MSNBC talking heads will go. In fact Al Sharpton corrected Chris Hayes when he stepped out of line during that panel discussion of the Jerusalem and God vote at the Dem convention.
