Last night I watched a documentary that was very enlightening. It was called, GAZA, WITNESS TO WAR. It included the history of Gaza and the Palestinians. I learned several new facts. I had no idea that Gaza was called, “The largest prison in the world.” Millions of Palestinians live in a fishbowl and there's no way out. Gaza is 25 miles long and about 4.5 miles deep. Israel allows the Palestinians some beach front property in which to walk around, but fishing boats that get too close to the water border are shot at. I also wasn’t aware just how much the Palestinians are suffering at the current time. Their lives really are a living hell. After I watched the show I started thinking about a different show I watched on Fox News and I remembered the horrible things that were being said about the war in Gaza. It correlates with what the divisive Ann Coulter was boldly saying. So let me talk about her first so you can see how other people at Fox News now seem to be jumping on the band wagon to literally give a thumbs up to the deaths of the Palestinians. Yes, there are “mean girls” at Fox who make Lindsey Lohan look quite angelic.
We all know that Ann Coulter gets a lot of media attention when she says “stupid things.” But this time …. she topped “stupid” with mean and cruel comments, as she sounded a lot like she was advocating ethnic cleansing of our own borders. She said, “ “I just wish we would talk about our border the way we talk about Israel’s border.” “The straight talk is that Israel has currently been engaging in what certainly looks like ethnic cleansing, with almost 1900 people killed and over 9000 wounded. The U.N., the USA and many other nations have condemned Israel for the way they are securing their southern border against Palestinians. This fact seems to make Coulter smile from ear to ear when she goes on to say this:
“We need a Netanyahu here. Can you imagine all these – yes, sometimes Palestinian kids get killed. That’s because they are, they’re associated with a terrorist organization that is harming Israel, and Netanyahu doesn’t care what the religious leaders say, weeping about Palestinian children. He doesn’t care what the UN says. He doesn’t care what the media says!”
“We are a country, we have borders, and Netanyahu enforces them. Why can’t we do that in America?

There are several female hosts on various shows at Fox who recently got into the game of supporting Israel to the point of saying, “It’s okay if Israel blows the Palestinians off the face of the earth.” One of those shows is called, The Five …. In which there are four very right wing opinionated Republicans (one calls himself a Libertarian) to one Democrat. That’s right, 4 to 1. It’s totally unfair and unbalanced, but that’s how Fox operates, we are all aware of this fact. There are three women on the show who rotate their time on the air. Okay, I might sound like a “mean girl,” but I am pointing out the obvious here: Kimberly Guilfoyle (also known as KG) is the “beauty queen” with the double layer of false eye lashes (Tammy Faye style) and a long wig. She seems starved for attention as she frequently shows her cleavage to the point she’d be a better fit for the Playboy channel. She sits at the end of table which is often referred to “the leg table.” For a woman who was absent the day God gave out curvaceous calves, it makes you wonder. But, you get the picture. Oddly enough, KG seems to brag about her multiple divorces quite often as well as predicting dates in which she will be remarried again. How is that relevant to politics and is it professional? Can you imagine female news hosts on other shows doing this? No, it wouldn’t fly with the producers. There’s also Dana Perino (former press secretary for the GW Bush administration .... who raises her voice quite often, even though she wants you to think she’s the quiet one) and Andrea Tanteros, who had a failed radio show, but appears on other Fox shows as well. If there was a Presidential position for the I HATE OBAMA CLUB, no doubt she would hold that honor. When she goes on one of her tirades about our POTUS, you can see her nearly edge up out of her chair (demonically) several inches. Tanteros is often heard saying, “does President Obama have a clue?” Guess what? He still has millions of supporters. So the question is, does Tantaros have a clue that she has a very bad case of Obama Derangement Syndrome? Another fact most people are aware of is that our sitting President, no matter what he does, will be wrong in the eyes of those who hate him. If Obama said the sky is blue, the RW would say, “well, that’s not actually the case,” then they would go on a tangent to explain their whacked out position.
On Friday, August 1, the three women of The Five (Guilfoyle, Perinio and Tanteros) all appeared at the same time … which is rare. It was like, LET THE HATEFEST BEGIN!! Of course, there was the daily Obama-BashaThon segment. After that the debate heated up about Israel. These “mean girls” went too far. Way too far … when each of them repeated, “Let Israel be Israel and do what they need to do. John Kerry needs to stay out of this and mind his own business.” The “mean girls” wholeheartedly agreed that John Kerry had “bungled” the cease fire diplomacy and he needed to just go away. Juan Williams was on that day. The look on his face after those women spoke in that tone was priceless. He was dumbfounded at the cruelty. He commented on the plight of the Palestinians, but was shot down when Kimberly mocked their deaths and hinted that if Israel needed to clear all of Gaza out, so be it. Further she added, if it was what Israel needed to do to be safe, then every American should side with Israel. This is advocating ethnic cleansing, but this is typical Fox News. On other networks, words like they chose would mean they would be submitting their resignation letters or getting fired! The hosts (they are certainly not journalists) are full of hatred and rage towards Democrats and will twist the truth every chance they get. Many people comment on how the people at Fox have shown our President utter disrespect. They started well before he was ever sworn into office and continue their denunciation of him every single day. That’s why many of us call Fox News, the Fox Entertainment News Channel. It's a La La TV Land where people rarely tell the truth, spin the facts and you never know what is going to come out of their mouths!
On Monday, Sean Hannity appeared on The Five and he was speaking from Israel. The panel asked him questions, slanted, of course. Hannity said how horrible it was for the Israeli's to be sitting in a cafe and eating a meal when the siren goes off. It interrupts their meal and they have to go to one of the many local bomb shelters. The unguided missiles have not struck a civilian area, so .... life goes on there pretty much as usual. I thought, wow .. journalists covering the story in Gaza, like Fox's own Rick Leventhal, have said that the Palestinians are often not getting any kind of regular warnings and they have no where to run to. Maybe Fox hosts like Hannity ignore this true reporter!? It kind of makes Hannity look like a schmuck. No civilian buildings have been harmed in Israel, but there are over 10,000 buildings in ruins in Gaza. The people there have no electricity now as Israel bombed their only power plant ….. as well as Gaza's water plant. You will see zero pictures of what is happening in Gaza because they want you to side with Israel 100%, while sane folks are diversifying our news and seeing BOTH sides. There is a true humanitarian crisis in Palestine, but you would never know this from watching certain shows on Fox. Don't get me wrong, I do feel bad for the Israeli's. These wars that the Israeli leaders engage in every few years to "mow the lawn in Palestine now and then" (part of their ethnic cleansing strategy) takes a toll on civilian life, no doubt.

The truth be told, we don’t know for certain when this bloody war will be over, but … more and more Americans are coming forward to show compassion towards the innocent Palestinians. Celebrities are sharply divided in who they support, but some are speaking out loud and clear and don’t care if they are scorned. Celebrities like Penélope Cruz, Rhianna, Mark Ruffalo, Russell Brand and Selena Gomez are doing a major No No in Tinsel Town. They are criticizing Israel and supporting the Palestinians. Good for them. Good for freedom of speech! But what do the Fox News hosts call these celebrites? “Terrorist sympathizers,” of course.
