1. probably because the source is an antisemitic website.

2. I would like to know that too - why is the truth anathema?

[oberliner]

3. Perhaps because

It's source was Jeff Rense's website: rense.com

Excerpt on Jeff Rense from Wikipedia:

He believes that Zionists are "in control of the world" through their dominance of central banking and global finance. Rense claims that the ultimate goal of the Zionist illuminati is to bring in a "New World Order" - a system of government in which all nation states are dissolved and replaced by an undemocratic, global government. Some of guests have criticized the Jewish religion, and have allegedly repeated false quotes from the Jewish Talmud. He has also given airtime to Holocaust deniers such as Ernst Zündel and Mark Weber, and backs theories that the Holocaust has been greatly exaggerated and used in various ways by "Jewish supremacists" for political power and that "Jewish financiers and bankers were ultimately responsible for hostility towards Jews."

4. Good grief! Were the photos of a US base there real? Were they?

5. Who knows? You would have to trust the website and given who they are

it would take more than their word to even consider it.

6. I don't know...but I sure think that the post should've remained up..isn't

this supposed to be a free exchange of news and ideas?

[global1]

12. Unfortunately - Anytime Anybody Mentions Israel In A Way That....

can be - even the slightest - sound negative - a lot of people get uncomfortable. Just look at the Dems. Some of them might not agree with what's going on in the mideast right now - but are fearful of even opening up their mouths for fear they will be chastised.

Unfortunately - this prohibits any free exchange of ideas.

7. 99% sure they were not

Think of all the military that would be needed to support a base like that and nobody knows about it but that one site. :shrug:

10. I don't think I would want to use that as a source.

there is plenty enough legit critique out there without resorting to that crap.

11. I guess this thread makes the point for those who asked a few days ago

about antisemitism on DU.

rense.com is antisemitic. Those here who dont have any problem with this are either totally ignorant or antisemitic. Your choice.

I think you need a better web designer.

15. He Seems Like A Swell Guy

By virtue of his non-conventional views, Jeff Rense has often courted controversy. Rense has been accused of racism, anti-Semitism<1> and Holocaust denial, though he claims he is actually pro-Jewish yet anti-Zionist. He believes that Zionists are "in control of the world" through their dominance of central banking and global finance. Rense claims that the ultimate goal of the Zionist illuminati is to bring in a "New World Order" - a system of government in which all nation states are dissolved and replaced by an undemocratic, global government. Some of guests have criticized the Jewish religion, and have allegedly repeated false quotes from the Jewish Talmud. He has also given airtime to Holocaust deniers such as Ernst Zündel and Mark Weber, and backs theories that the Holocaust has been greatly exaggerated and used in various ways by "Jewish supremacists" for political power and that "Jewish financiers and bankers were ultimately responsible for hostility towards Jews."

His website once contained reprints from the conspiratorial Spotlight magazine, known anti-Semitic forgeries such as the A Racial Program for the Twentieth Century, and Holocaust denial material reprinted from the Institute for Historical Review, which the journal History Teacher called "shockingly racist and anti-Semitic". (History Teacher, Vol 28, No.4, p 526)

He justifies this by claiming he is defending free speech and does not necessarily support all of what his guests have to say, and states that he is anti-Zionist rather than anti-Semitic. Jeff Rense has interviewed many non-whites and Jews on his show including conspiracy theorist Barry Chamish and also advertised the Neturei Karta affiliate Jews Against Zionism.

Rense and several of his guests and columnists claim to have been victims of death threats and intimidation from critics that he considers "Zionists." <2>, <3> and <4>
