- Democratic Senator Hits Back at ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt: ‘He’s Losing’...
Zeteo Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) responded to Anti-Defamation League head Jonathan Greenblatt, who suggested the senator peddled anti-Semitism by criticizing a pro-Israel lobbying group. Earlier this month, Van Hollen spoke at an event sponsored by J Street, a pro-Israel organization formed in 2007 as a more liberal and less hawkish alternative to the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee, which has long been a force in U.S. politics. The senator has been one of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s most vocal critics in the Senate. Van Hollen has said that Netanyahu had long sought a U.S. president “stupid enough” to start a war with Iran, and now the prime minister has found one in President Donald Trump. “I will tell you that AIPAC may call itself pro-American. They may call themselves pro-Israel,” Van Hollen told the J Street crowd. “But they are neither. They have been a very destructive influence. And it is time to call them out. And the American people are catching on.” Giving the ADL’s “State of Hate” address on Monday, Greenblatt said Van Hollen was blaming the Jews, even though the senator received applause from the pro-Israel audience when he made the comments in question. “The blame, as it so often does, was placed at the feet of who else but the Jews,” Greenblatt said. “For some, they pointed fingers at the Israelis, who they claimed whispered a few too many times in President Trump’s ear.” On Wednesday, Van Hollen was interviewed by Zeteo’s Mehdi Hasan, who asked for the senator’s reaction. “Jonathan Greenblatt, the head of the ADL, the Anti-Defamation League, which claims to be this, you know, monitor of anti-Semitism, but is really a defender of Israel,” Hasan began. “He says that when you attacked AIPAC for lobbying on behalf of Israel, for lobbying the American government to back Israel, you are perpetuating anti-Semitism. What do you say to Jonathan Greenblatt?” “I say that he is undermining his own mission and a mission that I share, which we should be fighting and defeating anti-Semitism,” Van Hollen responded. “But when he equates criticism of the government of Israel, when he acquits criticism of a political organization like AIPAC with anti-Semitism, all he’s doing is cheapening the effort to fight real anti-Semitism. And so I think a lot of folks– put it this way. I’m hearing from a lot of folks in the Jewish community that… [TheTopNews] Read More.9 hours ago - ‘Shut the F*ck Up!’ Cenk Uygur Has Nuclear Meltdown on Piers Morgan’s Show
Since 1990, the International Atomic Energy Agency has graded nuclear disasters on a scale of 1 to 7, with 7 being the most catastrophic. Only two – Chernobyl and Fukushima – have received this notorious distinction over the past 36 years. Of course, that was before Cenk Uygur had a cataclysmic meltdown on Wednesday’s edition of Piers Morgan Uncensored, in what may be a strong entry for a Level 7 event. Piers Morgan’s panel discussed the war on Iran launched by President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The panelists were Uygur, conservative talkshow host Ben Ferguson, former U.S. Army officer Ben Hodges, and former U.K. Ambassador Sir Richard Dalton. Uygur and Ferguson engaged in a four-and-a-half-minute back-and-forth in which Uygur cursed and literally screamed while Hodges and Dalton observed the exchange in stunned silence: UYGUR: You notice before the war, people like Ben Ferguson were saying “Oh, we’re not necessarily going to attack Donald Trump’s a peace president. FERGUSON: That’s not what I said, ever. [CROSSTALK] FERGUSON: Listen to any one of my shows. I never said that. Not one damn time. UYGUR: Piers, this is why I should on your program, because every time I start talking, some Israel first son of a bitch comes in and starts talking over me. Hey, you’ve made– [CROSSTALK] UYGUR: Oh, yeah, yeah. My ass. MORGAN: Cenk, for 50 minutes, you’ve managed to stay relatively calm. Don’t blow it now. UYGUR: Yeah, ok, that’s what Israel First does. They just jabber jabber jabber. Anyway, so here we go. So, then Ben said, and all that Israel First clown said, “Oh we’re doing this for the Iranian protesters, and once we start bombing them and murdering them they’re gonna love us.” And now he– FERGUSON: Never said that, either. You make up a lotta shit, man. It’s pretty impressive. [CROSSTALK] UYGUR: Will you shut the f*ck up? Will you shut up? Will– [CROSSTALK] UYGUR: We already heard your stupid Israeli talking points. [CROSSTALK] UYGUR: I know! That’s why we have to shout on this show, because these a**holes won’t shut the f*ck up! MORGAN: Just to be clear– [CROSSTALK] MORGAN: I think there are actually less chances of Ben Ferguson shutting the f*ck up than there are of the Bob Hope analogy I gave earlier. So why don’t we just assume both of you can be equally garrulous? Cenk, finish… [TheTopNews] Read More.11 hours ago - Trump Calls Out Israel for Bombing Gas Field: ‘NO MORE ATTACKS’
AP Photo/Evan Vucci President Donald Trump issued a rare public rebuke of Israel on Wednesday after the Israeli military bombed a natural gas field jointly owned by Iran and Qatar. Iranian state media reported that Israel attacked the South Pars natural gas field in the Persian Gulf, and that some of the field’s facilities were ablaze. In response, Iran attacked a major fuel hub in Qatar. The strike comes as Iran continues to effectively block the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world’s oil flows. Oil and gas prices have surged since Feb. 28, when Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu started the war with Iran. Writing on Truth Social, Trump expressed his displeasure with the South Pars strikes and at one point said, “NO MORE ATTACKS WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL” in the area: Israel, out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East, has violently lashed out at a major facility known as South Pars Gas Field in Iran. A relatively small section of the whole has been hit. The United States knew nothing about this particular attack, and the country of Qatar was in no way, shape, or form, involved with it, nor did it have any idea that it was going to happen. Unfortunately, Iran did not know this, or any of the pertinent facts pertaining to the South Pars attack, and unjustifiably and unfairly attacked a portion of Qatar’s LNG Gas facility. NO MORE ATTACKS WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL pertaining to this extremely important and valuable South Pars Field unless Iran unwisely decides to attack a very innocent, in this case, Qatar – In which instance the United States of America, with or without the help or consent of Israel, will massively blow up the entirety of the South Pars Gas Field at an amount of strength and power that Iran has never seen or witnessed before. I do not want to authorize this level of violence and destruction because of the long term implications that it will have on the future of Iran, but if Qatar’s LNG is again attacked, I will not hesitate to do so. Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP Just six minutes after Trump posted the missive, Barak Ravid of Axios cited anonymous U.S. and Israeli officials who said the U.S. did have prior knowledge of the… [TheTopNews] Read More.11 hours ago - Joe Kent Reportedly Under FBI Investigation for Potentially Leaking Classified I...
AP Photo/Jenny Kane Joe Kent, the former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, is reportedly under FBI investigation over a potential information leak. Kent sent shockwaves throughout the political world on Tuesday when he announced his resignation. In a letter published online, Kent expressed disapproval over the war in Iran and insisted that the country posed no “imminent threat” to the United States. President Donald Trump’s administration, in response, has maintained that there was a threat. According to a Wednesday night report from Semafor, the FBI is investigating Kent for potentially sharing classified information. The report added: The investigation into former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent is focused on allegations that he improperly shared classified information, four people with direct knowledge of the investigation told Semafor. In his resignation letter, Kent wrote that Iran “posed no imminent threat to our nation” and accused President Donald Trump of starting the war because of “pressure from Israel.” The investigation, Semafor added, “predates Kent’s departure.” Sources told the outlet that it had been in the works for months. Just hours before that report was published, Kent appeared in a sit-down interview with Tucker Carlson. He claimed that Iran was not on the verge of acquiring a nuclear weapon, and even suggested that the U.S.’s involvement in the conflict came after “pressure” from Israel.The post Joe Kent Reportedly Under FBI Investigation for Potentially Leaking Classified Info first appeared on Mediaite.
