And the Israeli accent didn’t clue anyone in?

Joseph Dana does the same thing. He is a political activist, like many at 972, and sells himself as a journalist. Same same.

I think the most hilarious part of this is that we’re supposed to believe that this guy is American.

Email address is dead.This video as a poster pointed out is an Israeli Government promoted oppurtunism.What more needs to be said about it!?Democracy doesn’t need propaganda for itself.That is, a functioning reasonable analysis when the population calls for it.Alas in the history of Democracies ,they do tend to propagandise.The money every year from the U.S.A. taxpayer,if one could accept conventional treatments for AIDS and HIV would easily cover that problem as a reduction in that conventionally described medical problem.I usually like Israeli women,even if they are very good liars.Maybe Israeli lesbians are even more deadly opponents and are ambitious beyond the normal for them, disruption of accepting males as such.So clownish is Israeli attitudes towards the Palestinians,that with all the support of the World’s media the Clownish AIPAC sends people to Australia claiming Friendships,flying in and out.Everyday in Australia there is on the hour a Jew being promoted in the Media.Gee!You Israelis have another source of weaponry!You Boring Sods!

As a born and raised gay Israeli, I find this article to be hilarious. When ever I had to categorized a country or society as “Evil” or “Just” I looked into its LGBT community. Usually its very easy to determine (i.e. Hamas regime kills gays – hence EVIL). You can do the same drill with women rights and position in the society.

So for me its not about PINK-WASH (or which ever other fancy academic phrases out there), but rather a PINK-FEAR – a fear that one day the country I was born and raised in, the country that allowed me the freedom, justice and equality to live my life as a gay guy, will be taken over by fascist Islamic EVIL forces. Very simple. Very true.

But than again – if you are that convinced that Israel is only a brutal settler-colony state, then … I guess you were successfully ISLAMOFASCIST-WASHED.

Oh Ruchard give it up son. Everyone can see the hasbara hat you wear. You clowns need to get a new act and people are not so stupid any of your apologies for a terrorist regime turn any heads. The best you can do with your feeble irrational smoke and mirrors efforts is to slow down the rate of decline, you can’t turn anybody back from the truth once they have seen through the Zionist bulls#it.

Gays who wish to take part in activism in other moral campaigns need to leace their sexual proclivities at the door. Making a song and dance about being a “Gay Palestinian supporter” is ridiculous and against the spirit of Palestinian activism. It has as much relevance as me announcing my favorite sexual position or how many times my wife and I have sex in a night as part of my support for Palestine. Who cares except me? So leave your sexuality out of this, it is not relevant and represents another cause which is not related anyway.

“Next time, we won’t get caught. Hopefully.” It’s way to late to think that you will not ever get caught at anything Israel tries to do. Even if something good was done, the entire world would look under the rocks to find out just what it truly is that you would be up to.

This guy– I am not bashing him, he is doing his best–is laughable as an “American” who fought against “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and who earnestly wnated to join the flotilla… Can’t they get better script writers, better actors?
After decades and decades and free money to subsidize it (thanks, Uncle Sam) hasbara is still so pathetically inept?!? Go figure.
