Last night’s debate was a farce of pandering to Israel. Apparently even Chris Matthews complained about the pandering a number of times last night. Good for you, Matthews! Liberal Zionists are upset because they know this is death to the two-state solution. J Street: “…we are disappointed that neither candidate mentioned the most pressing challenge to Israel’s survival as a Jewish and democratic homeland: the lack of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”
My friend Scott Roth took the debate hard, and angry. Here are some particularly piquant tweets I picked up off his feed. They read backwards in time, starting this morning:
[This morning]
Scott Roth: BHO knows better than to have made the “wipe off the map” remark last night.
Nima Shirazi Nima Shirazi @WideAsleepNima Yeah, but Boca was craving it like prune juice.
Scott Roth @scottroth76 @WideAsleepNima perhaps, but I don’t care. And if true then he’s part of the problem.
@WideAsleepNima I was being facetious. It was unconscionable.
@scottroth76: sorry, I’m in a rotten mood b/c of last night.
[Last night]
Scott Roth retweet: @TheDersh: Obama is Betty. Romney is Veronica. Israel is Archie. And I can sleep soundly knowing apartheid & colonialism are safe.
Scott Roth: Thanks for a great job, Schieffer. You didn’t seem a day over 101.
Scott Roth: Obama wants China to play by the same rules as everyone else. What about Israel?
Scott Roth : Romney said Palestinians! Cause he really cares about them.
Scott Roth: This Romney crap is what happens when 3rd rate minds like Dan Senor are your advisor(s).
Scott Roth: This is the choice we have Americans. Proud?
Retweeted by Scott Roth: @scottroth76 Um hm. Look at what you’ve helped create.“@JeffreyGoldberg: Oh my God, this is becoming like a speech I give at UJA-Federation meetings.”
Scott Roth: This has become a joke.
Scott Roth: I’m vomiting now.
Scott Roth: 10 grand says this idea of indicting Ahmadinejad came from Dan Senor.
Scott Roth: Any intelligent unbiased person watching this debate would ask themselves what’s with the US and Israel?
Scott Roth: How about Israeli apartheid, Romney, you dumb shit.
Scott Roth: Oh, so now we’re going to hang people for genocide without genocide. Virtual genocide.
Scott Roth: If after watching this debate you are not convinced that Israel is a serious problem for this country, then you’re deluded.
Scott Roth: Fuck I was wrong. Obama said the map phrase.
Scott Roth: Iran and its people are suffering, because that’s what Israel wants.- Obama.
Scott Roth: With friends like Israel, who needs enemies?
Scott Roth: Obama should just say, “I’m a bigger asshole than you want to be.”
Scott Roth: This is farcical. Nothing else to say. America must lead, by being the greatest purveyor of war.
Retweet Alex Kane: @alexbkane So now US politicians trashing Mubarak is the standard?
Retweet @TheDersh: Obama said Israel twice before Romney says it once, which means, basically, that Romney is like Hamas and Hitler rolled into one.
Scott Roth: Moderation in the Arab Spring, i.e., malleable people we can control like l’ancien regime. -Romney
Retweet Jake Tapper @jaketapper president of Lynn U. says it’s pronounced boca ra-TONE Scott Roth @scottroth76 @jaketapper that’s how they say it there. My grandparents lived there for 20 years, didn’t yours too?
Not to worry, Dick and Jane won’t get that the USA and Israel are not really the same, and the USA should look after its best interests, not Israel’s. I sure hope a military draft comes along to wake that couple up. So, vote for Mitt.
this is hysterical. i definitely have to follow roth now. virtual genocide…
This is the choice we have Americans.
When did you last have a choice? Was it during the 1950s? Was 1976 different?
Roth, my kinda guy. Hope his moods stay rotten if that’s what it takes.
”Scott Roth: This has become a joke.
Scott Roth: I’m vomiting now.”
