Nazi propaganda took a sharp turn last night. CBS 60 Minutes set the stage for President Hussein and his Arab point man George Mitchell to put the screws to Israel.
Last night's story totally smeared Israel as warlike in regard to settlements and evil with regard to violating 'Palestinian" rights. BTW, they are not "settlers", they are Jews living in the Jewish homeland. Period. (hat tip Ken)
Drunk on jihad. Look at Simon's face -- you can see him manning the gates at Auschwitz Birkenau with his hat on straight.
BOB SIMON: Palestinians say they can't have a state with Israeli settlers all over it, which the settlers say is precisely the idea.
Notice how they say the Jews have to leave the land. The Jews have to be expelled from Judea and Samaria (Jewish land) but Muslims, Arabs etc. live in Israel and have the freedom to conduct mass demonstrations against Israeli policy! Bob Jew hater Simon says the Jews can't live there ............ why? Simon never mentions Islamic antisemitism and the vow to destroy Israel. Simon never mentions all the Jews expelled from Gaza and the gorgeous successful state Gaza turned out to be. Jew hater Simon never mentions the 950,000 Jews expelled from Arab lands ...
"I think that settlements prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state in the land of Israel. This is the goal. And this is the reality," Weiss told 60 Minutes correspondent Bob Simon.
See photos at the bottom of this post.
Bob Simon's 60 Minutes did a through hatchet job on the Gaza situation. Harcourt wrote me,
It would not be surprising that anyone without an in-depth understanding of the Gazan situation and Hamas/Hezbullah and Iran (i.e., most of the world) would come away from this with an extreme distaste of Israel and a love of Hamas.
Israel and the Jewish people should start suing these "media" organizations for their anti-semitic propaganda and incitement to Jewish genocide.
A word of advice to the Jewish American diaspora - you better pull your heads out of asses fast and back Israel hard, or you will have nowhere to go (see voyage of the damned
Time Running Out For A Two-State Solution?
60 Minutes: Growing Number Of Israelis, Palestinians Say Two-State Solution Is No Longer Possible
CBS (CBS) Getting a peace deal in the Middle East is such a priority to President Obama that his first foreign calls on his first day in office were to Arab and Israeli leaders. And on day two, the president made former Senator George Mitchell his special envoy for Middle East peace. Mr. Obama wants to shore up the ceasefire in Gaza, but a lasting peace really depends on the West Bank where Palestinians had hoped to create their state. The problem is, even before Israel invaded Gaza, a growing number of Israelis and Palestinians had concluded that peace between them was no longer possible, that history had passed it by. For peace to have a chance, Israel would have to withdraw from the West Bank, which would then become the Palestinian state.
It’s known as the "two-state" solution. But, while negotiations have been going on for 15 years, hundreds of thousands of Jewish settlers have moved in to occupy the West Bank. Palestinians say they can't have a state with Israeli settlers all over it, which the settlers say is precisely the idea.
Daniella Weiss moved from Israel to the West Bank 33 years ago. She has been the mayor of a large settlement.
"I think that settlements prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state in the land of Israel. This is the goal. And this is the reality," Weiss told 60 Minutes correspondent Bob Simon.
Though settlers and Palestinians don't agree on anything, most do agree now that a peace deal has been overtaken by events.
"While my heart still wants to believe that the two-state solution is possible, my brain keeps telling me the opposite because of what I see in terms of the building of settlements. So, these settlers are destroying the potential peace for both people that would have been created if we had a two-state solution," Dr. Mustafa Barghouti, once a former candidate for Palestinian president, told Simon.
And he told 60 Minutes Israel's invasion of Gaza - all the death and destruction - convinces him that Israel does not want a two-state solution. "My heart is deeply broken, and I am very worried that what Israel has done has furthered us much further from the possibility of [a] two-state solution."
Palestinians had hoped to establish their state on the West Bank, an area the size of Delaware. But Israelis have split it up with scores of settlements, and hundreds of miles of new highways that only settlers can use. Palestinians have to drive - or ride - on the older roads.
When they want to travel from one town to another, they have to submit to humiliating delays at checkpoints and roadblocks. There are more than 600 of them on the West Bank.
Asked why there are so many checkpoints, Dr. Barghouti said, "I think the main goal is to fragment the West Bank. Maybe a little bit of them can be justified because they say it's for security. But I think the vast majority of them are basically to block the movement of people from one place to another."
Here's how they block Barghouti: he was born in Jerusalem, grew up in Jerusalem and worked in a hospital there for 14 years. Four years ago he moved to a town just 10 miles away, but now, because he no longer lives in Jerusalem, he can't get back in - ever.
He says he can't get a permit to go. "I asked for a permit to go to Jerusalem during the last year, the last years about 16 times. And 16 times they were rejected. Like most Palestinians, I don't have a permit to go to the city I was born in, to the city I used to work in, to the city where my sister lives."
What he's up against are scores of Israeli settlements dominating the lowlands like crusader fortresses. Many are little cities, and none of them existed 40 years ago. The Israelis always take the high ground, sometimes the hills, and sometimes the homes. And sometimes Arabs are occupied inside their own homes.
UPDATE: Call 60 minutes. Be very polite, but very 'concerned'.
Here's the contact info.

Time Running Out For A Two-State Solution?
60 Minutes: Growing Number Of Israelis, Palestinians Say Two-State Solution
Is No Longer Possible
But one very important Israeli says she intends to move them out. She's
Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, a candidate to become prime minister in
elections next month. She's also Israel's chief negotiator with the
Palestinians, and she told 60 Minutes peace is unthinkable with the settlers
where they are.
"Can you really imagine evacuating the tens of thousands of settlers who say
they will not leave?" Simon asked.
"It's not going to be easy. But this is the only solution," she replied.
"But you know that there are settlers who say, 'We will fight. We will not
leave. We will fight,'" Simon asked.
"So this is the responsibility of the government and police to stop them. As
simple as that. Israel is a state of law and order," Livni said.

I have a number of friends who cling to the belief that the only reliable news sources are printed newsapapers and network news agencies. Any information I may confront them with that is not sourced from these MSM is immediately discounted.
"Investors Business Daily? What's that? Some sort of blog? You just can't believe what you read on the internet." It's a shame that we as a nation are so pitifully benighted. It's why we have BHO as president in the first place.
And the liberal media blitz is working. I know lots of MSM-aholics who truly believe Israel is the aggressor. These folks are confident in their beliefs because they've been fed the liberal agenda. These are people who couldn't find Gaza or the West Bank on a map. They don't know that Palestine is a ancient Roman place name and that there is not truly a Palestinian people.
I feel that Israel should control the West Bank and retake Gaza. Let those Gazan and West Bank arabs who insist on self-identifying as "Palestinian" move to Jordan.

A couple of thoughts:
1) They are not settlers but Re-settelers of the land.
2) There is no "West Bank", it is Judea and Samaria. There never has been a nation there that called it the west bank.
3) Jordan controlled Judea and Samaria from 1948 to 1967. Why did they not rename it Palestine?
4) Egypt used to control Gaza, same thing, why did they not name it Palestine?

Maybe I'm just pi$$ing in the wind asking this but why don't these Jewish groups ban together and bring a lawsuit against Scott Pelley and CBS and every freaking news service and individual and company, whatever or whomever, for slandering Jews? Isn't that what CAIR does every day of the damn week? Isn't it time to ban together and give back before it's too late?

This is probably the worse CBS has produced since Rathergate.
It even had the famous "Jews poison the well" story, Settlers get the water, Arabs remain dry,
This is the mantra I encounter when trolling Euro Leftist blogs, "Israel is stealing water".
The "wall" which is actually a fence for 80% of its length, cuts into Arabs farms.
Well no shit sherlock. It isn't built for them but against them so that they send no suicide bombers across the border.
The highway is closed to Arabs because they attack it.
A friend of mine lives in Gilo, a short drive out of Jerusalem. He gets shot at almost every week!!
He keeps a metal plate between his car door and his legs as he drives.
I suppose people should just put up with a "Twisted Metal" video game reality when going to work in the morning but Arabs should not be cut off of their olives by a fence keeping out mass murderers.
Lies lies and lies.
I talk to Israelis almost daily. Most, about 65% support a two state solution. It is Arabs and the Euro left (The real Neo-Nazis) Obama has courted which call for a One state Holocaust of Jews. As do the Fatah liars who say they support Israels right to exist as long as they accept 4 million Arabs born in Tunisia, Lebanon and Europe to move in with them.
Israel, the nominal state. That is the goal of Palestinianists world wide. 3 states for Palestinians.
The greatest people in world history who, unlike anybody else deserve, 3 states: Jordan, WB-Gaza and Israel with its new Arab majority.
But unlike Gaza, Jordan and the WB, in Israel I suppose Jews will have the right to live, in some places....like Warsaw.
"we will let them live in a ghetto near Tel Aviv"
And on holidays we will allow the "people" to celebrate by throwing rocks at them or block UN food shipments to them.
This is their end game and Obummer will also find it out as did the other naive idiot, Clinton. They want all of Israel and soon all of Europe.
CBS then can go on and become the broadcaster of daily prayers and but a burka on Katie Curic.
Israel kicked the settlers out of Gaza. They were kicking and screaming but they left. CBS made no mention of it but showed the scene of 3 years ago when Jews pelted the army with eggs as who on earth would be happy when evicted from their homes?
CBS made no mention of the fact that what Jews left behind in Gaza, green houses, orange groves and soda bottling plants, the Arabs destroyed and used whatever they could from what remained to building rockets.
Before Gaza we heard the same reports, in fact if I recall it was also CBS which predicted a civil war in Israel and a military dictatorship.
It didn't happen so there goes CBS trying the same BS setting up the stage to vilify Israel once more so that Mitchell can be seen as some impartial peacenik.
Can anybody imagine what reporting would have come out of the Dhimmi media had Bush appointed a Jew to negotiate peace in the ME!!!
Well we now have an Arab representing America and no complaints. He got the endorsement from Zogby....should be fair right?
What hypocrisy.
What is truly shocking is that reports like this assume that no Palestinian state can exist within which Jews exist. Only a Nazi style Judenrhein status can assure the safety and freedom of others.
As if it would be impossible for Jews to live in a Palestinian state the way Arabs live in the Jewish state.
Of course they couldn't practically as unlike the Jews in Israel, Arabs in the West Bank would wanna slaughter all Jews and burn their homes.
I suppose that is why CBS showed the house demolitions in Jerusalem, more than a few of which were homes of terrorists driving construction equipment into buses and pedestrians and flying Hamas/Hezbollah flags celebrating those acts despite living on Israeli soil.
Can Bob Simon imagine if a NY born Muslim had driven a tractor into a transit bus on Broadway and his family flying Al Queda flags handing out sweets to neighbors celebrating it.
What would DHS and the NYPD do? Hand then a new building permit?
"Israel calls these homes illegally built".
Has Bob Simon ever tried to build a house in NY state without a building permit?
Hasn't he ever been to Rio or Caracas and saw the slums built without any concern for safety or sanitation?
The misery and crime they bring?
Or does Bob Simon wish that Jerusalem should be home to a new Khan Yunis so that in the near future Idf boys will need to die to clean it out of terrorists behind human shields?
Arabs will build homes in Paris without permits. And anywhere else in Europe.
Why is it that when Jews get chased out of a land, it is for its viability whereas when Arabs, it is ethnic cleansing?
I ask, if that were so then why not call for the removal of Arabs from Israel to make it "viable"?
If Jews can live in West Chester, why could not they live in Ramallah, or Jericho?
If Arabs can live in Jerusalem and Haifa...or Rome for that matter... why couldn't Jews live near Jewish holy places?
The assumption here is that Jews cannot exist anywhere but Israel but even in Israel, they are ethnic cleansers.
This Serbianization of Israel is what we will see under the Obama admin.
That they are unreasonable racists wanting to cleanse all others from their holy land while Jews existing elsewhere are a threat to peace requiring their removal.
Is that not ethnic cleansing? Removing Jews from Ramallah and Jericho or Jenin?
I always thought it was but it seems CBS has found a way to define Jews outside of ethnicity.
I wonder what do they define them as?

I'm telling you, it's getting very very bad for the Jews. I live in a tiny town without a Jewish community or an Arab community and the biggest newspaper around just printed a letter to the editor written by a muslim acusing the Jews in Gaza of all sorts of things, killing innocents, destoying every thing, including the trees! I wrote a letter of my own but it wasn't published, I complained, bottom line I canceled the newspaper subscription. What bothers me is only one side is getting out. Unless the Jewish groups get as loud as these muslim groups a lot of people who just don't know a Jew from an Arab from anything else will believe the propaganda. Remember the squeaky wheel gets all the attention.

Christians feel welcome in Israel because they don't threaten same with extinction.
What if a US President asserted Christian Heritage rights in Judaea and Samaria? Most Israelis would respect same because these wouldn't encroach on Jewish rights. I have long favored creation of dual Christian and Jewish states in ALL Palestine. That is something between Kahanism and Peacenowism.
Western Civilization needs to question our serial deference to Arab Muslims. They can retreat to 634 AD regions for all I care.
The West made a huge mistake by not seeking to split Syria from the Arab horde. That can happen. In fact, I have Syrian contacts who want exactly that.

As soon as I saw this story appear on 60 Minutes, I knew it was going to be a hit piece. Even so, the bias was astounding. If I knew nothing more than what I saw in that story, even I would be out on the streets supporting the Palestinian Arabs. The sad thing is that many people will rely on this reporting and point to it to support their position that the peace-loving Arabs are being treated horribly by the war-mongering Israelis. It's enough to make a person puke.

When Jesse Jackson was running in 1984, I saw Bob Simon interviewing the leader of the protest, Fern Sidman, on the termirty of our group protesting the anti-Semite, Jesse Jackson.
Bob Simon gave Fern Sidman a look that she was to be completely ridiculed. Bob hasn't changed in his smug evil all these years.

I can't tell the difference between Pelley and Simon - but one interesting thing about the Livni comment: CBS set it up as if Livni were talking about the total number of "settlers" that the Palestinians claim are in Judea/Samaria (there are NONE in Gaza anymore). That number is approximately 500,000. That's right - half a million. Livni, very clearly, is talking about a very limited number of settlements with "tens of thousands", not "hundreds of thousands" at issue. This much smaller number is consistant (whether one agrees with the policy or not) with the Israeli government's ultimate map of where they would withdraw to - much less than 5% of the "settler" population is covered in what Livni is talking about. Bob Simon (and CBS) would have you believe that Livni is agreeing to remove all of the "settlers" and completely accede to Palestinian demands. That is patently untrue and, in fact, libelous. If you didn't know better, you would think that even the foreign minister of Israel agrees with Hamas that Jews have no right to be in the "settlements". In actuality (again, whether you believe in the policy of ethnic cleansing of some Jewish "settlers" or not), Kadima's (Livni's party's) policy is to hold on to most of the major "settlements" in any final resolution of the issue. This is a difference of 450,000 plus people that Bob Simon carefully edits into Livni's position as being deserving of transfer. Since it is clearly a distortion of Livni's (even Ehud Barak's) views - that any neophyte with Google can research - the only reasonable and possible explanation for CBS to broadcast it this way is as an extremely biased propaganda technique.

"60 Minutes" presented a NAKED EXAMPLE of the Left-Wing MSM ACTING in it's new "ASSUMED" role of PARTICIPANT rather than RECORDER of Events, Partisan ,rather than Neautral OBSERVER, and in THIS CASE ,TOTALLY on the side of WRONG and EVIL!
Also, the PROBABILITY EXISTS that JIHADIST MONEY , in some way ,shape ,or form, MADE IT HAPPEN,ie. the MONEY WEAPON!
Bob Simon,a Former Prisoner/Hostage of Iraqi Jihadists quite obviously has an ACUTE CASE of UNTREATED STOCKHOLM SYNDROME.
