Is Netanyahu Just Sarah Palin With A Much Bigger Army?

Well, things have gone from bad to worse today, after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the deported and/or detained Gaza “flotilla” activists as “Not the Love Boat,” which, the mind was already boggling. In the tradition of Sarah Palin, he’s also taken to his Facebook and Twitter (I know: seriously?) to spread a propaganda video.

Says the Times:

The video, called “Keeping Lies Afloat,” splices together some of the annotated clips of the raid released by Israel’s military with clips from the flotilla that an anti-Palestinian group says are proof that the activists were prepared for violence. It also adds a soundtrack and some titles written in the sort of faux-hip lingo employed by ad copywriters who want to reach out to young people. For instance, the titles promise to explain “the real deal” about “what went down” during the raid.

This video was apparently made by a New York-based advocacy group called Fuel For Truth.

You can read all about Fuel for Truth on their website. “Fuel For Truth equips young Americans with the basic facts and skills necessary to advocate to young adults, to increase support for Israel and America through education of radical Islamic terror.” Oh, to advocate… about… the Islamic terror… of the Palestinians??? Hmm. Yes, I can see how that would be confusing for young people who don’t know anything.

They also have fun facts! Like: “DID YOU KNOW? Al Qaeda attacked the United States on 9/11 and aims to install fundamentalist Islamic rule throughout the world?” That’s so funny, I had heard that already. But it’s nice to be reminded of that ongoing struggle, so that we should make sure Israeli soldiers… fire on Turks and Americans… in Gaza?
