U.S. Commentator Mike Harris: Israel Carried Out Newtown Massacre, Operates Death Squads in the U.S.

In an earlier post, I reported that Iran's Press TV had reported that Israel was behind the Newtown school massacre. This video was the basis for that post.

This rant by US commentator Mike Harris is so incredibly anti-Semitic that even Press TV's host tried to interrupt him.

Let's go to the videotape (Hat Tip: Debbie R).



Those of you in the US, aren't you glad this filth lives among you? What could go wrong?

Of course: Iran's Press TV says 'Israeli agents' behind Newtown school massacre, Daily Kos says Press TV is as reliable as Fox News

The image came from a blog that thankfully I was unable to access. I am hoping that the blog was taken down. Adam Lanza, who murdered 20 children and six adults in Connecticut on Friday was neither a Jew nor connected to Israel. But that hasn't stopped the usual anti-Semitic freakazoids from coming out of the closet to blame both Jews and Israelis for the massacre. Including Iran's Press TV.
Today, Michael Harris, former Republican candidate for governor of Arizona and GOP campaign finance chairman, in an internationally televised news broadcast, cited “Israeli revenge” in, what he called, “the terrorist attack in Connecticut.”

Harris cited Israeli “rage” against the US and against President Barack Obama. By “Israel,” we mean “Netanyahu.”

The mission was to teach America a lesson, knowing that “America would take the punishment, keep “quiet,” and let a ‘fall guy’ take the blame.”

A “fall guy” is another word for “patsy.”

Harris, citing the flood of inconsistencies in the “cover story,” pointed out the following, “The facts are now becoming obvious. This is another case where Israel has chosen violence and terrorism where their bullying in Washington has failed. Israel believes the US “threw them under the bus,” particularly after the recent Gaza war, allowing Israel to be humiliated in the United Nations. Their response was to stage a terror attack, targeting America in the most hideous and brutal way possible, in fact, an Israeli “signature attack,” one that butchers children, one reminiscent of the attacks that killed so many children in Gaza?”

Washington is terrified of Israel, their powerful lobby and its relationship with organized crime. Now, a key former Senator, Chuck Hagel, who has helped expose this fact, is likely to be nominated as the secretary of defense, despite vocal protests from Israel.

Today, Israeli news gave further credence to Harris’ analysis when they issued the following statements regarding the probable nomination of Hegel:

“Chuck Hagel’s statements and actions regarding Israel have raised serious concerns for many Americans who care about Israel,” said the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) Executive Director, Matt Brooks. “The Jewish community and every American who supports a strong US-Israel relationship have cause for alarm if the president taps Hagel for such an important post.”

“The appointment of Chuck Hagel would be a slap in the face for every American who is concerned about the safety of Israel,” he asserted.
It goes on from there. Read the whole thing

Incredibly, a blogger at Daily Kos uses this story as an occasion to compare Press TV to Fox News.
In the world of Tehran and it's supporters, who number in the millions of people around the world, people like Michael Harris (who has appeared with Neo-Nazi's and supported all kinds of nutty things), and Gordon Duff are legitimate sources of information.
As is said: "Information is Power". It is and when we get it, it is important to understand what is being conveyed. Of course, Press is going to get loons like Harris and Duff for their information. They merely reinforce the meme that Iran wants to perpetrate. They want to blame Israel for everything so is it a surprise that they try to hang this one on Israel as well. BUT, as consumers of news it is important that we understand what is being peddled. Same as information coming from FOX. One pretty much needs to triple check their sources to see if the story is true. One difference though between FOX and Press TV... That is that Press TV is a semi-official source of information and reflects the Governments thinking in Iran while FOX is the media arm of a political group that got beaten like a drum in the last election.
What's the difference between the US Left and Iran?  One's a group of anti-Semitic raving lunatics and the other is an Islamic Republic.

Priceless: Israeli hackers bring down Press TV, Iranian government ministry

As of the moment that I am posting this, you cannot access Iran's English language Press TV, but if you could, the picture above is what you would see.
Israeli hackers have brought down Press TV, as well as two websites belonging to Iran's Ministry of Health and Medical Education. The hackers, who call themselves "IDF Team," said their actions were a response to a series of attacks on Israeli sites the previous day.

Three additional Iranian sites were hacked and their servers altered to display an Israeli flag and anti-Arab text in English.

The website of Press TV, the Iranian regime's English-language satellite channel, was unavailable for a short period of time following the hackers' announcement.

"At 16:30 Israel Clock the Iranian Ministry of Health and Medical Education website will be down until further notice. In addition to Iran's television network, broadcasting in English round-the-clock, based in Tehran that [is] called Press TV will be down until further notice," the hackers wrote in a message.

"Ahmadinejad what do you have to say about that?" they added.
Two Tel Aviv-area hospitals had their websites taken down on Wednesday.

16:30 Israel time was about two hours ago.

We can play this game too.

Heh.

Iran's English language propaganda arm off the air in the UK

Press TV, Iran's English-language propaganda arm, has been taken off the air in the UK.
Today it was announced that Press TV, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Iranian regime, had its Ofcom license revoked owning to multiple violations of the broadcasting code. In 2009, the station aired an "interview" that was in fact a prison interrogation of a Newsweek journalist arrested for chronicling the Green Revolution. In December, Henry Jackson Society Research Fellow Houriya Ahmed called for the shuttering of Press TV after a regime-sponsored mob sacked the British embassy in Tehran.
Read the whole thing.

I understand from contacts in the UK that this is not quite the big deal it's being made out to be. You can still access Press TV online in the UK, and its absence from the telly is just going to make it more likely that people watch the BBC, which is not exactly pro-Israel either.

Balanced reporting, AFP style

At least they're less biased than Press TV (Iran), which published the picture at top left (can you tell from the picture at left that the person who is either starting - or trying to put out - the fire is a 'settler'?) and claimed that 'settlers' had burned 'hundreds' of olive trees in the 'West Bank.'

But AFP could not tell a balanced story that noted doubtful 'Palestinian' claims that Israelis burned their olive trees - balanced against the fact that no incidents of burning trees were reported by the 'Palestinians' or anyone else - without throwing in an unsubstantiated accusation against Israelis that was left hanging.
Since the start of the olive harvest last month, there have been scores of Palestinian complaints about settlers cutting down trees, stealing olives or preventing farmers from harvesting their crops, rights groups and police say.

A senior Israeli intelligence officer acknowledged that there had been acts of violence and vandalism by Jews in the West Bank, noting in particular recent attacks against mosques there.

"We are not happy about the situation connected with Jewish extremists in the West Bank," he told a group of foreign journalists on Sunday, speaking on condition of anonymity.

"It needs big efforts in order to stop this wave of violence. We know who are these people. Hopefully we will be able to stop this wave of violence", he added.
There has not been a single 'recent' instance in which Jews have been shown to have burned mosques or anything else. However, the 'Palestinians' and their Leftist supporters have been caught on video burning fields and trees.

Tell that to AFP.
