There was controversy about a recent interview on C-span about terrorism with former CIA Bin Laden Unit Chief Michael Scheuer that many are complaining was anti-Semitic and were outraged that the C-SPAN host did not counter the remarks. The ADL said "we continue to receive many complaints from C-SPAN viewers about the unchallenged anti-Semitism and bigotry aired by callers to your shows, and we believe those complaints are justified. Recognizing that we share with you a commitment to freedom of speech and the marketplace of ideas, we also believe that respectable journalistic organizations have a responsibility and an obligation, consistent with the First Amendment, to speak out when the forum they provide is used to disseminate hate and anti-Semitism."
The caller who caused the controversy said , "I for one am sick and tired of all these Jews coming on C-SPAN and other stations and pushing us to go to war against our Muslim friends. They're willing to spend the last drop of American blood and treasure to get their way in the world. They have way too much power in this country. People like Wolfowitz and Feith and the other neo-cons -- that jewed us into Iraq -- and now we're going to spend the next 60 years rehabilitating our soldiers -- I'm sick and tired of it."
While his language may sound harsh, the reality is Americans are fed up with the power that the Israeli lobby has over our foreign policy which is costing us lives and treasure in the middle east and until recently has been taboo to even discuss. Those who speak out are labeled anti-Semites.
Michael Scheuer who is a critic of Israeli influence over our foreign policy basically agreed with the caller saying, "yeah. I think that of course American foreign policy is eventually up to the American people. One of the big things we have not been able to discuss for the past 30 years is our policy towards the Israelis. Whether we want to be involved in fighting Israel's wars in the future is something that Americans should be able to talk about. They may vote yes. They may want to see their kids killed in Iraq or Yemen or somewhere else to protect Israel. But the question is: we need to talk about it. Ultimately, Israel is a country that is of no particular worth to the United States."
The host asked Scheuer "strategically?" and he responded, "Strategically. They have no resources we need. Their manpower is minimal. Their association with us is a negative for the United States. Now that's a fact. What you want to do about that fact is entirely different. But for anyone to stand up in the United States and say that our support for Israel doesn't hurt us in the Muslim world, or our support for Hosni Mubarak's dictatorship doesn't hurt us, is to just defy reality."
In response to another called who asked "Why is it that the United States does not want to talk about Israel?," Scheuer said, "why don't we talk about that? Because AIPAC and other influential American Jewish groups are extraordinarily involved in the funding of American political campaigns and have the ability to reach out and make sure that people lose their jobs, or are otherwise hurt, if they dare to criticize Israel."
Scheuer has personal experience with this since he lost a job with the Jamestown Foundation think tank for comments about presidential Obama pandering to the Israeli lobby saying he was "doing the Tel-Aviv Two Step". He claims that the foundations pro-Israel donors ordered his termination. He said that "you know, you always talk about the Israel Lobby and its power, but to see it up close and personal aimed right at me was very educational. In fact, it was worth the experience of losing a job."
Scheuer says that "Israel has every right to do what it needs to do" to defend itself, including the development of nuclear weapons, Scheuer said that the U.S. has no real interest in either Israel or the Palestinian Authority. "That is a religious war in which we have no stake,"
Comments
Kudos to Dr.Scheuer and the two callers mentioned. It's high time people wake up and talk about the 800lb zionist gorilla in the room. We've kow-towed to these zionist extremist and tiny country at the expense of US dollars and lives for far too long now. Good to see people are FINALLY waking up and growing a pair to expose this sham. So the ADL thinks it's alright to expose or label people as white supremacists, but it's anti-semitc to expose zionist extremist, can you say hypocrite anyone.
I think that it is important to have free speech and not to be afraid of recourse or being labeled anti semetic. There are always two sides to a story. The Jews have religous traditions that bond them together. Marriage, business and just being jewish, they help fellow jews which contributes to their success. Their problems come from their racism and unwillingness to help people who are not jews.
The anti-semitic canard is finally running it's course like it's close cousin the race card, thank goodness. People need to stop letting the zionist falsely accuse them of anything that doesn't meet their agenda as anti-semitic, and stand-up boldly for the truth, instead of cowering at lies and childish name-calling.
Yo homeboy - you need to learn how to write, you need to learn how to place quotes properly, and you need to learn punctuation. Your errors here are embarrassing.
Good comments,the sad thing is maybe you will all end on the no-fly list...
Anti zionism = anti semitism = racism = terrorism
war is peace
total control is liberty
censorship is free speech
ignorance is knowledge...
and f....rs are leading the party.....
and sheeps are following..
It's true that the Bankster uses some jews to do their dirty work, but they also use naive commoners to build their proxy WarMachine. Also, all these groups like naacp, nation of islam, la raza, brown berets, kkk just more group against group stupidity. Attend your city council meetings, and support that which is lawful and moral.
An expressly Jewish state forced into multi-ethnic Palestine is violent state racism as plain as it can ever be; constant new 'Jewish Only' settlements only make it more blaring. The fact that most people don't realize this shows the extremity of our exploited trust and compassion: we can't believe that our Jewish friends and co-workers would brazenly lie about all this. But it's only natural that those who stand to gain from official Jewish advantage in the Middle East would organize to harvest these advantages: any ethnicity would do it if they could get away with it. The rest of us must wake up and stop financing it. Scheuer is wrong about one thing: this is not a religious conflict. It's a land-grab, pure and simple, wherein the organized power of one powerful, close-knit international group has dispossessed the native Palestinians, whose religion & ethnicity are purely incidental, except that they're not Jewish enough for the Jewish state. Time to stop financing Jewish supremacy.
Mr Kersting- Good comment, however, I don't believe any group would do as the isreilis have done. I find that the isreilis and jews in general are some of the most brainwashed people on earth. Yeah, they actually believe all the nonsense in the media, and that they are "chosen". Even more bizarre, they seem to think they are in charge, when they are led around by the nose by satanists.
It's now official - no actual shortage of Holocaust Survivors:
quote from The Holocaust Industry by Norman G. Finkelstein of the City University of New York, published by Verso in 2000:
'The Israeli Prime Minister's office recently put the number of "living Holocaust survivors" at nearly a million.' (page 83)

Everyone read the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and The International Jew, by the auto founder Henry Ford. Then you will be totally amazed and informed of the Zionist agenda in the USA.
By the way, Mel Gibson was right. Wake up Gentiles!!!
"That is a religious war in which we have no stake," educate yourself and you will see that this is a religious war which everyone on the planet has a stake.
One of the Jews' favorite passages in the Old Testament is Jeremiah 30:11
"For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished."
In the New American Standard Bible version, this passage is translated as:
"'For I am with you,' declares the LORD, 'to save you; For I will destroy completely all the nations where I have scattered you, Only I will not destroy you completely But I will chasten you justly And will by no means leave you unpunished.'."
The Jewish god, the Devil, clearly states in the Old Testament that he is going to kill off the human race and leave only Jews alive. This is precisely how the Jews interpret this passage. think
Good comments, but to reiterate, it's a Bankster run(Owned) Game.
Americans are slowly waking up. Why are we supporting apartheid?
