Netanyahu’s new top media adviser called Obama an anti-Semite

The Washington Post reports:
Just a few days before he heads to Washington to try to mend fences with the White House and secure billions of dollars in U.S. military aid, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appointed a new chief of public diplomacy who called President Obama a modern-day anti-Semite and wrote that Secretary of State John F. Kerry has the intellectual acuity of a 12-year-old.

Netanyahu’s choice of Ran Baratz was pounced upon by Israeli news media and the political opposition, which quickly combed through his social media posts and past articles to find a string of provocative opinions that were anything but diplomatic.

Israelis joked that Baratz apparently did not heed the advice given to all college graduates to scrub their Facebook pages before sending out résumés.
Everyone doesn't think of Obama in the same way MSNBC does.
