Elder of Ziyon
It doesn't seem to have gotten too many fans.
Last week, his guest was Ben Rhodes (40 YouTube views). Rhodes, of course, was a Deputy National Security Advisor to President Obama and helped architect that administration's pro-Iran,. anti-Israel policies.
Here are three clips from the interview.
In this one, Rhodes claims that the US media is "pro-Likud." Really.
Here we see Rhodes say (to Beinart's delight) how sick he was to hear about Palestinian intransigence, because to his mind no one ever gave them a chance to accept a peace deal. Except maybe once.
Really.
He flatly says that the Obama administration never gave them an opportunity for peace either, when in fact the Palestinians ignored a framework that John Kerry gave them that would have given them far more than anyone else offered including a capital in Jerusalem.
Finally, here is Rhodes trying to get into Netanyahu's head, and the best he can guess is that since Jews have been persecuted throughout history, they justify being cruel as well. This is a watered down version of the antisemitic Jews as Nazis theme so popular amongst the Left.
Rhodes has literally no clue of what he is talking about - yet he is a contributor to NBC News.
