Another Lie… Brian Williams Said He Was Flying With Israeli 4 Star General …(Israel Does Not Have 4 Star Generals) Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, February 10, 2015, 10:55 PM Lt. General Thomas McInerney told Sean Hannity tonight that Brian Williams also lied about flying with an Israeli Four Star General in Israel. In 2008 Brian Williams told a Jon Stewart on Comedy Central that he was almost hit by a Katyusha rocket while covering the 2006 Israeli War with Hezbollah. “We’ve got the gunner doors on this thing. And I’m saying to the general, some four star, so if we’re at 1,500 feet it wouldn’t really take much for them to just adjust the aim and try to do ring toss right through our open doors would it? But, they’re firing real bullets over there. Any time you want to cross over to the other side, baby, travel with me.” But Lt. General McInerney told Hannity that this was also a lie because the Israelis do not have four star generals. Via Hannity: VIDEO HERE

Turkish President Erdogan: If You Think I’m a Chauvinist, What About the Jews? Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, February 10, 2015, 9:40 PM President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, who has regularly been accused of disparaging comments against women, attempted to deflect the heat by blaming Jews for misogynist prayers. YNEt News reported: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has regularly been accused of violating women’s rights throughout his career, attempted to shift the heat towards a different direction last week, calling on his critics to direct their attacks towards the Jewish people, whose prayers he said were degrading towards women. According to a report in the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet, Erdogan made the remarks while accepting an award from members of the Roma community in Bursa. While condemning racism, Islamophobia and discrimination, he wondered why his critics never blasted the Jews for their treatment of women. “I am addressing to those who talk about women’s rights. Why don’t you raise your voice against the Jews who thank God in their prayers that they were not created as women? Was there any other understanding, a logic as demeaning for women as this one?” Erdogan, a devout Muslim, often courts controversy with divisive public comments. He has previously angered women’s groups by stating that women should bear at least three children and by attempting to outlaw abortion and adultery. In other recent comments, he declared that women are not equal to men and accused feminists of not understanding the special status that Islam attributes to mothers. While addressing a meeting in Istanbul on women and justice, Erdogan said men and women are created differently, that women cannot be expected to undertake the same work as men, and that mothers enjoy a high position that only they can reach.
