Bill Bartlett responds to a criticism of Martin only heeding Zionist
conceptions..... by quoting Bejamin Netanyahu!!!!

He takes the right-wing former Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu's statement
on face value that "the religion" is threatened-- precisely what the U.S.
media would also like us to believe. Was Hitler correct when he said the
"Aryan race" was being threatened in Germany?

Another question, Bill: Are you paid to distribute the Zionist state party
line? Or do you do it for free?
