Come again?
TIME Magazine editor Richard Stengel told the Morning Joe folks today that it’s just too bad that Israeli wall worked so well keeping the terrorists out of Israel.
Yes. He really said that.

Time magazine editor Richard Stengel:
“They [Israel] haven’t had a car bombing in two and a half years and the sad truth, really, is that the wall with the West Bank has actually worked. I mean, most Israelis in the course of their lives don’t come into contact with any Palestinians at all, the wall is functioning.”

A very sick man……..you need to resign from Time……..

“Aiding and abetting.”
We’re taking names…
Gman commented:
Notice how liberals have really started to show their true colors over the last couple years by actually saying what they really believe. They used to lie about how they really felt. Chairman Obama has somehow given them the strength to reveal themselves.
Redwine commented:
Horrifying! I lived and worked in Israel during that period. I had to forbid my daughter from taking buses at the time for fear I’d never see her alive again. My children were afraid that they would never see me alive again, too. I was afraid to go shopping or go to a restaurant. There was a horrid bloody attack by some Palithug animals on Israeli civilians nearly every day. Thank G-d for that barrier! This amoral and repulsive Stengel is a sick POS.

Stengel is merely one of millions of typical anti-Semitic hate-filled American democrat liberals wishing death, disease, and destruction on Jews and anyone that dares oppose the elites marxist agenda.
Valerie commented:
Has anybody asked this moron whether he has read the Hamas Covenant?
donh commented:
So sad the Israelis don’t have to live with that constant chill up their spine that if they take the bus to work, it may deliver them to their grave. Living in a constant state of fear and anxiety is so much more interesting and morally superior than the state of bigotry represented by walls .

Fixed. Thanks.

What is truly a shame is we cannot create a “homeland” for these leftist twits and wall *it* off from America. If I could live another 500 years and not hear one more lying word from their foul lips, it wouldn’t compensate for but 0.00001% of the verbal and literal garbage they’ve strewn in this great nation in the last 100.
regularguy commented:
Satan manifests himself in our daily lives through the tools of the left, and in islam. And that’s not just hyperbole. These are existential threats to all us infidels and apostates, and Mr. Stengel is a shameful, willing accomplice to continuing the denial of the threat mohammedens pose. The wall and its happy results are blaring testaments of the savagery of Israel’s enemies, who would undoubtedly be killing Israelis everyday if they could.
eaglewingz08 commented:
No, Mr. terrorist supporting ‘reporter’, there are 1.5 million ‘palestinian’ arabs (i.e. Israeli arab citizens) whom many Israelis encounter every single day. How many Jews do Hamass arabs encounter every day? Only the ones they kill or attempt to kill. What a shame that a dreadful wall keeps them out of Israel. Time must also be lamenting the unspoken fear that if Israel can keep murderers out of Israel, then the republicans, if they get to build a wall on the rio grande, could also successfully keep out illegal aliens. That would be tragic, racist, xenophobic, yada, yada, yada.

regularguy,
You don’t have to convince me.
bigL commented:
Dennis Prager from KRLA 870 in LA, made a movie in Israel. He interviewed the people injured by the terrorist Pali bombs. They ahve bolts in the brain and body or lost limbs. Interviewed the guard at the entrance to a restaurant, who said it was a job, and important one. His job was to thwart entry of pal bombers.
The movie is available still.
donh commented:
I will bet this scum lives in a fancy secure NYC apartment building with a barred entryway guarded by a button down uniformed doorman like Ralph Hart of The Jeffersons.
Opus #6 commented:
This is the reason Obama halted construction on our southern wall.

“They [Israel] haven’t had a car bombing in two and a half years and the sad truth, really, is that the wall with the West Bank has actually worked.”
Wait. What?
The ‘sad truth’ is they haven’t had a car bombing in two and a half years.
There’s GOT to be more context than this. Nobody is stupid enough to say that straight up.

Sometimes there IS a black and white difference between good and evil, not just shades of gray.

oh but they are, the sad truth is some people sympathize with the Hamas cause and just like their hero Alinsky taught, the ends justify the means. Unless he follows that statement with a just playing or a “psyche” it seems pretty clear to me, “sad truth is the wall has worked”
Helen commented:
Would be nice if this useful idiot came in close contact with one of his beloved Arab suicide bombers. He could even try to discuss the benefits of Peace between Hamas terrorists and Fatah terrorists.
Do you think time will give him a promotion?
Militant Conservative commented:
Evil is walking the land and good people need to prepair for the final days. It is going to get worse before it gets better. (Wheather you beleive in God or not this is true). A storm is coming ,powder is dry.
Granny commented:
This idiot said this TODAY? Does he not bother to read the news? Does he not know that in the last several days four people in Israel have died at the hands of Hamas and another two barely escaped with their lives? He should be forced to go and live at Sderot with his family for a year or two!
Meanwhile, boycott Time. Who do we complain to, since this guy is an “editor”?
Highlander commented:
Once again we have a Democrat president who badly needs a peace agreement in the Middle East to save his presidency. If that means peace by way of Israel’s destruction – so much the better. Any peace will do. I hope that Netanyahu and Israel can stand up to the tremendous pressure that will now be applied. Obama is desperate for a win.
Mr. Stengel’s obscenity is likely the result of his fervent wish for Obama’s success. He cares not a whit for Israel, or, for that matter, the Palestinians. It’s all about Obama.
Granny commented:
I have to tell you, I’ve been having my doubts about HotAir lately. It seems like everything they link to is left-wing. Now, I’m beginning to wonder if they even read their email.
About the same time that the dude holding hostages at the Discovery Channel was shot dead, HotAir posted that he was in custody. And so it remained. Yesterday I wrote to them to let them know that the dude had been dead for nearly 18 hours. And yet, that headline STILL, more than 36 hours later, says that the gunman is in custody! Now that HotAir sold for megabucks, I guess the new owners don’t give a rat’s behind about their credibility.
Old One commented:
Granny,
Contact Time’s advertisers and tell them you will cease buying their products and services if they continue to advertise in Time and other useful idiot media outlets.
Betsy Ross commented:
Yeah, too bad that wall-thingy is working…with that stupid wall that is working how is he going to blame Israel for all the problems in the Middle East?
Ginger commented:
PM Netanyahu must always remember that no matter what he MUST NOT trust Hillary and the fraud she works for. You put them both in a sack and shake it up they both will fall out at the same time.
NEVER… NEVER…NEVER trust the frauds!
Ginger commented:
Well we now know most of the American hating traitors of America. When we take back our country in November those enemies of our country will try and crawl back into their cock roach infested baseboards. Keep an eye on them! We must never forget. We know them now!
Stanley commented:
How pathetic, when your own human life only reflects the life of an inanimate object.
Ruebacca commented:
Libs want a peace process, a rose garden signing ceremony and have warm fuzzies over Obama.
Actual peace is besides the point. Any PA official who signs a meaningful agreement will be assassinated.
Andreas K. commented:
He’s the kind of infidel pig who should experience the true face if sharia law and islam first hand. Send him to Iran or Saudi Arabia.
steve commented:
“Tear down this wall Mr. Netanyahu. Open up yourself to more bombing possibilities.” This from a guy who went on national TV (assuming it’s Joe in the morning TV) with a “man-purse” ??
Joanne commented:
I think this fellow is speaking to the fact that ‘a wall’ actually could help, because he doesn’t like the idea of ‘a wall’ in the first place. I don’t think he wants the people of the State of Israel to be killed, but that ‘a wall’ is actually effective.
It would be like saying, it is sad that locking females in their bedrooms at night actually works at keeping teenagers virgins, but it is a sad thing to actually have to lock them away to do this.
I don’t know….maybe I am being too nice.
Radegunda commented:
Joanne, yes, that’s probably what he meant. But he still seems to think the safety of Israelis is less important than his multiculti fantasies. It reminds me of that Army general who believes that losing “diversity” in the military would be worse than losing soldiers to jihadi terrorists within their ranks.
greenfairie commented:
Goes to show you these douches would rather see you die than not see their utopian delusions come true. This is why Time mag is worth less than a pile of crap.
Andreas K. commented:
I think it comes down to one think: he wants Jews to be killed. I mean, look at it. He is obviously unhappy that the wall is there and it is working. The purpose of the wall is what? Keep terrorists ou, stop them from killing women and children. That is working.
So the wall is keeping out the terrorists, and that guy doesn’t like it.
Sheila commented:
Amazing, isn’t it, that a wall can work in Israel but here in America, all the liberal Jews insist that any immigration restrictions (on legals or illegals) is racist and besides, walls just don’t work. Israel’s right to defend its borders and define its people is sacrosanct; America’s, not so much.
Granny – I, too, have noticed the marked deterioration in Hot Air since Michelle Malkin sold it. Lots of errors, loads of liberal linkage, and a daily barrage of pro-gay articles. Abandon movement conservative websites and visit truly conservative ones.
