From The Jerusalem Post:
Benjamin Netanyahu’s choice to serve as the next chief media adviser in the Prime Minister’s Office posted controversial statuses on his Facebook page, including one in which he refers to US President Barack Obama’s response to the premier’s Iran speech in Congress as “modern anti-Semitism.”
Ran Baratz, who was tapped by Netanyahu as Israel’s next “media czar,” once criticized Obama for the president’s response to the prime minister’s planned speech before Congress against the Iran nuclear deal.
“Allow me to be a bit blunt, which is a break from my usual moderation,” Baratz wrote. “This is what modern anti-Semitism in a liberal Western country looks like. And, of course, it comes with a great deal of tolerance and understanding for Islamic anti-Semitism. The tolerance and understanding is so great that [Obama] is willing to give it a nuclear bomb.”
