Bernie Comes in at #1

By Michael Moore, Michael Moore's Facebook Page

21 November 19

 

id you know in the last 6 weeks, in various polls in the early primary/caucus states, Bernie has come in at #1 in New Hampshire, #1 in Nevada, #1 in Georgia (Bernie beats Trump by a greater margin than any Democrat!) and, in this week�s CBS poll, Bernie�s currently tied at #1 in Iowa! Bernie�s also #1 NATIONWIDE in nearly every poll among Latinos and #1 with all young adults, 18-35 years old! Also - he�s #1 with young black women (Essence Magazine poll). Have you heard any of this? What�s the point with the media not running this news? We have a great field of Democratic candidates, so why not just be fair? It�s as if the fact that Bernie Sanders is beloved by millions must not be shared with the general public. To whose ends does this serve? Stop it! No censorship! The more he gets blacked-out, the more his popularity grows. The public senses the powers-that-be don�t want him elected. Well, that�s the SUREST way of getting him elected! I know how this works from personal experience. Back in 2004, when Disney tried to block anyone from seeing my movie �Fahrenheit 9/11�, all that did was make everyone want to go see it � and THAT made it the largest-grossing documentary of all time! So, on second thought, my good friends in the media, keep ignoring Bernie! Do NOT run a story on how he set an AMERICAN record yesterday with the most individual donors in a Presidential campaign ever (over 4 million), has the most volunteers of any candidate, and according to the NY Times poll last week, is the only candidate who beats Trump head-to-head in all three states Trump won the electoral college with in 2016 � MICHIGAN, WISCONSIN and PENNSYLVANIA. Just forget I even wrote that! Bernie who?! Bwwaaaaaaa!!

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.

General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.

Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

"This was more like a US police shooting of an innocent, unarmed victim."

Gee, we used to be famous for movies and fried chicken.

It's not a surprising correlation, given that many US police departments have now received Israeli training. What they do to the Palestinians will soon be done to US -- as black Americans can attest.

The other culprit? The US press, spewing disinformation to keep us dumb and compliant.

I'm reading Ronen Bergman's book about the Israeli government's policy of assassination. They've been doing it for decades. They've been doing it before Israel was a nation. It's no wonder that they shoot unarmed civilians without blinking. And the Americans copy them.
Yeah, some of the Gazans threw stones. I don't count them as weapons. If the Israelis would hand over some of their tanks, artillery, sniper rifles, and gunboats, I'm sure the Gazans would be happy to put down their stones.
And the Israelis, as we have seen, hate nonviolence. They respond to it with violence, often lethal violence.
Years ago I heard Mubarak Awad speak in Toronto. He is a Palestinian-Ame rican, and he was working in Palestine trying to teach nonviolence. The Israelis threw him out.

The Guardian is reporting that 1400 Palestinians were injured, some with gas and rubber bullets, but 773 shot with live ammunition.

C'mon, Sahlburger, tell us how this was okay. Caliban, got any platitudes for us?

No, the Guardian reports that Hamas claims this.

"Platitudes"? My occasional comments may be indeed be somewhat boring in their rationality and common sense.

However, since I do not support the murder of unarmed civilians, dragging me into this comment as if I do could be seen as a lying by made-up association.
 
 
+5 # librarian1984 2018-04-02 10:12
You're right. My criticism of your 'boring' (though neither rational nor sensible) platitudes was more general; the post makes it seem as if you've supported Israeli violence but you have not, as far as I remember. I apologize. It COULD be seen as lying but it was an erroneous inference, which I regret.

If the editing weren't messed up I would remove the last sentence.

I just ran across your reply n another thread on Israel in which you said we had to take into account that the Israelis were oppressed, as if that excused their current behavior. So I retract the apology.

Well, that is certainly an antisemitic interpretation of history. I am sorry to see that Cole has adopted this position, but I will bear his prejudice in mind when reading any future comment under his byline. Horrified to see that antisemitism is seeping into US political life both on the right and on the left.If I see any more of the from RSN I shall withhold my annual contribution to this previously respectable news outlet.

You need to study the real history and stop watching Fox News. The Brits promised the Jews the holy land and then made damned sure that they got it. Look up the Balfour declaration.

Don't confuse anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism.

Point out serious errors, with credible sources, and I'd give you a thumbs up. I crave accurate data and this seems pretty authentic. (It's true, the Palestinians did not sit quietly under all this; would you?)

Criticism of Israel is not "antisemitism" even though the current right wing Israeli government of Netanyahu is trying to get all such criticism covered by this one definition. In fact there is very lttle genuine anti semitism which can be defined as an irrational hatred of Jews, just because they are Jews; growing dislike and yes, maybe hatred of Israeli policy toward the Palestinians is justified and needs moderation by the international community; which will not happen because too many US lawmakers rely on political donations/press ure from wealthy Jewish donors.In the "old days" Jews were known for their progressive and humanitarian views but that has now gone fueled by the irrational desire for "security" against who knows what foes? Israel has a persecution complex on which it thrives whereas in fact Israel is the persecutor and war criminal and seeks to cover up its behavior by imagining all the threats against it. In fact, if Israel would behave according to the norms of international law (which are actually pretty low) most of the antagonism would disappear. Reminds me of the saying: for those who would attain the whole world but lose their soul'; Israel has lost its soul and deserves its paraiah status.

Absolute bullshit. To criticize policy and actions is not anti-semitic -- or are you saying Israelis have absolute moral carte blanche because of the suffering of their grandfathers?

I am pretty sure I'm part Jewish. My ancestors have always been friendly people. I love the Jews but I hate what Israel does. No one can excuse their actions. THAT is what is being discussed, no matter who does it.

The ignorant GOP wraps itself in the flag, grabs a Bible and screws us over. The Likud cloaks itself in Holocaust and thinks it justifies any abominable sin. It is shameful. And to further it by screaming 'Antisemitism' is even shameful than Hillary calling everyone a misogynist.

You sully the blood of true victims to use their suffering to cover behavior they would never condone.

Shame on you.

CM: As others state here, you're conflating two very different things here. Listen to yourself and try to separate out the fact that Zionism (the quest...at all costs...for a jewish homeland) has little to do with the concept of Jews living peaceably in a pluralistic society. Juan Cole hasn't "adopted" this position. What he has laid out if the sad truth.
If you indeed see antisemitism seeping into US political life...you should call it out. The mainstream news outlets in this country repeatedly gloss over the fact that Israel has become an apartheid country. In front of the eyes (and with the support of) the United States...its primary benefactor. CM, these words are coming from a 59 y.o. jew.

Israeli snipers kill 17 people in Gaza. A crazed high school drop out kills 17 people in Parkland, Florida. Are these related. They should be. I hope the people demonstrating now against gun violence will include as "survivors" their brothers and sisters in Palestine. Palestinians have been shot at and killed by crazed Israelis now for 70 years. Time to protest the gun violence.

Parkland 17 = Gaza 17

Lord, Rodion, let's not turn this into a sporting event. There are all too many psychos in both populations who would welcome the challenge.

Remember that protestors in Ferguson were contacted by Palestinians who recognized the tear gas canisters from YouTube videos. They gave the Missourans tips on how to deal with them.

They even use the same weapons against Palestinians and Americans. Israelis train the police. That is why they shoot first and ask questions later. That didn't use to be the policy of US PDs.

This relationship between the US and Israel is toxic for many people around the world.

This does seem like an eerie parallel.

Parkland 17 = Gaza 17

There's a lot of blame to go around. People are choking on it, dying for it.

But NOTHING justifies shooting unarmed civilians.

Is that the world you want to live in, want your kids to live in?

On June 8,1967 the Israeli Military attacked the USS Liberty, a lightly armed surveillance ship in International Waters and killed 31 US sailors and wounded 171 more. The Israelis have no mercy, no ethics, and no values. They want 100 eyes for an eye when it comes to the Palestinians. Throwing a rock is grounds for execution! As long as the US supports these murderers the turmoil in the Middle East will be everlasting. Wake up Israel is a friend to no one.

Why does Juan Cole follow Netanyahu in his negative comment about Hamas? Doesn't he know what the Israeli military knows--that Hamas, when it was in power in Gaza, saved Israeli lives by preventing the other parties from shooting rockets into Israel? Haniya should be called a hero not a "terrorist."

Apparently Facebook, under an agreement with the Israeli government has been deleting posts by Palestinians, deeming them to be incitements". Meanwhile many hateful posts by Israelis are allowed through.
