He went on to say that Obama's anti-Semitism stems from years of indoctrination by controversial preacher Rev. Jeremiah Wright, whom Obama distanced himself from during the election campaign.
"When there is an anti-Semitic president in the United States, it is a test for us and we have to say: We will not concede. We are a nation dating back 4,000 years, and you in a year or two will be long forgotten. Who will remember you? But Jerusalem will dwell on forever."
Ben-Artzi added that Netanyahu is aware of his views, but declined to say what the two discuss in private conversations.
On Tuesday a group of far-right activists announced their plan to hang hundreds of posters across the country depicting Obama under the headline "agent of the PLO." The banner is already on display in the office of National Union MK Michael Ben Ari.
I laughed so hard reading this drivel. Obama should go out and tell the American people the truth , what the support for Israel is costing America in lives and $$. Tell the Truth and i stress the truth. Is there a problem with telling the truth ?
30 years ago if you heard somebody was an anti-smite, you thought, `Wow, that`s a bad man. He`s like Hitler or the SS.`
Now idiots like these accuse people like Obama of being an anti-semite. There`s going to be a whole generation growing up thinking that being an anti-semite can`t be that bad. Guess he don't mind leeching 3 Billion dollar a year out of hands of anti-semite. Talk about Mixed messages.
3 Billion Dollars a year - If only all Jew haters were so generous and schizophrenic. What Bibi`s brother-in-Law means is Obama won`t worship Israel like it was a religious cult.
Self Appointed people busy bodies who think they have a monopoly on truth.
There are real antisemite out there, really evil people, but abuse of the term antisemitism risks making antisemitism acceptable. That`s pretty dangerous and counter-productive. People like Ben-Artzi risk making antisemitism acceptable.
Why is it these days that criticism of Israeli policies is considered some as antisemitism ? The obvious answer must be that it is just a ploy to stop the criticism. Cry victim all the time and no one will listen to you in the end.
