America apologizes to Prime Minister Netanyahu for 60 Minutes' outrageous interview
By Jen Shroder
Dear Prime Minister Netanyahu,
America was horrified to see our corrupt media disrespect you so shamefully with Leslie Stahl's insulting interview on 60 Minutes. The majority of Americans are sickened at what our media has become, but the outrageous accusations and insults that you so graciously endured have proved our media has reached a new low.
"With Trump," Stahl snapped with a puckered frown and clear disdain of President-elect Donald Trump, "With Trump, do you think that Israel will not be as 'at-odds' with the United States as you have been under the Obama administration?"
After your gracious answers, she went on to accuse you of taking things personally and said about our nation and yours, "The relationship, often rocky, hit bottom when Mr. Natanyahu..." (how long have you been PRIME MINISTER now?) ..."Mr. Netanyahu took the provocative step last year of lobbying against the Iran nuclear deal and by extension President Obama in his speech before Congress."
Stahl apparently forgot Obama's apology tour to your adversaries. I would say Obama threw the first rock of this "rocky" relationship when he announced at the United Nations, "We continue to emphasize that America does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements."
You have had to endure insult after insult alongside outrageous demands and we are sickened. (Pre-1967 borders? Really?!?) The American people have not forgotten how Obama was caught on open mic assuring Russia that this was his last election and would soon have more flexibility. Where was Leslie Stahl then? And yet she has the audacity to try to paint you as "inching toward an anti-American block" just because you spoke with Putin?
Then Stahl went on to attack you for 50 years of "occupation" of Israel. Americans are not stupid. We know how Israel was attacked and won that land and has given up too much in negotiations for peace already. Stahl pretended to speak for America by bringing up the anti-Semitic boycotts of Israel on U.S. campuses. Prime Minister Netanyahu, our students are reacting to what they are wrongly being taught on college campuses by people like Leslie Stahl! America is getting FED UP with the brainwashing of our youth! It's one of many reasons that America elected Donald Trump and Stahl has no clue of what America really thinks or how completely ashamed we are of the disrespectful tone and dripping insults in a completely biased "interview" of desperation by the liberal left.
Please pay no attention to this "journalistic" excuse of a newsource. America has ceased to listen to our media and if they don't return to reality, I'm afraid the right is going to rise up and fight for far more than a correction of it. Our Constitution is clearly under attack and has been for eight years now, but hopefully this is turning around.
It is our deepest regret that so many that claim to represent America have had a platform to behave so shamefully. Please know that few are listening to shows such as "60 Minutes," and their ratings reflect it. Most of America prays for and supports Israel. God bless you and keep you.
Sincerely,
America
