Don't be Hatin'

Have you seen this video from Max Blumenthal yet? He and a partner strolled the streets of Jerusalem on the night before Obama's speech in Cairo. These people are mostly American Jews living in Israel, or Israeli Jews with American roots.

It's pretty damned embarrassing for the Jews that we gave birth to children (and I use that term in the figurative sense) like these. I assumed that we'd see people like that in the States coming out of KKK rallies and watching Jerry Springer.

In particular, I love the girl who claims that Obama is a Muslim and not an American citizen (and she "knows her shit" because she's a poli sci major). When she's asked who Benjamin Netanyahu is, she draws a blank (!?) and calls him "Benjamin Yahoo?" Classic!

I understand why Huffpost pulled this video from its website. It does nothing to advance dialogue, nothing but show that stupid people come in all stripes, in all religions, and in all countries. It's just shameful.
