A CAMERA analysis by @shaykhatiri has triggered former Obama spokesman @tvietor08. Vietor jumped to the defense of the press, denying that it applies a double standard when it comes to Israel lobbying the U.S. in the foreign policy arena. He claims that it is in fact Israel that benefits from a double standard because “no one calls you Francophobic” for observing that the French pushed Obama to go to war in Libya. We’d humbly ask Vietor to consider Khatiri’s rebuttal: Laser-focused coverage of the role the U.K. and France played in pushing the U.S. to war in Libya is virtually nonexistent compared to the obsessive attention to Israel’s lobbying of President Trump. @NuritBaytch also makes a good point, noting that the rhetoric on Israeli lobbying routinely goes far beyond mere criticism. Referencing @mehdirhasan regularly praising @TuckerCarlson and mentioning Carlson's remarks insinuating Israel had "cast a spell" on Trump and that the spell needed to be lifted to save the world, Baytch asks: "you don't see how this is antisemitic? and different from discourse on France/Libya?" So again, why the double standard? Thanks for reading CAMERA, Tommy!
