re: #470 amir

Joseph Dana from Max Blumenthals web page: ” These people reflect the sentiments shared by many people in this country and this city. These people and their families are the core of the opposition to meaningful peace between Israel and her neighbors. This is what Obama is up against.”

I’m speechless. These people are smart enough to make a movie and a web page (that’s a lot smarter than me) and yet lack any common sense or ability for simple analysis and reasoning. It’s these kind of liberal Jews (I’m assuming) that the rest of us are up against.

Well, notice that the filmmakers had separate statements….Dana’s obviously wrong to infer that this is indicative of what *Israelis* actually think.
Blumenthal’s statement read to me like he thinks the opposite—that it shows that some American Jews feels a sense of entitlement over Israeli politics.

For the record, I myself think it shows a bunch of drunken ill-informed kids in a party district who are only indicative of drunken ill-informed kids anywhere— you could make similarly offensive videos on any political topic in any late night party district filled with drunk kids.

It’s kind of like diving into the message boards at Free Republic or Democratic Underground and then claiming those comments are representative of anything.
