And thus Glenn Greenwald destroyed an Israel lobby lapdog

UPDATE: Unfortunately the BBC doesn’t fare any better when it comes to kowtowing to the lobby. But Channel 4 has a formidable anchor in the person of Jon Snow. See below for a video of Snow’s interview with Israel’s chief propagandist Mark Regev.
Glenn Greenwald lays out the context for the confrontation:
I was just on MSNBC talking about Israel, the Gaza blockade and the flotilla attack with Eliot Spitzer, who was guest-hosting for Dylan Ratigan. It was a rather contentious discussion, though quite illustrative of how Israel is (and is not) typically discussed on American television, so I’m posting the whole 8-minute segment below. Two points: (1) before I was on, Spitzer had on an Israel-defending law professor, followed by Netanyahu’s former Chief of Staff, and both of them (along with Spitzer) were spewing pure Israeli propaganda in uninterrupted and unchallenged fashion; at the end of Spitzer’s discussions with them, he asked them to “stick around just in case,” and once I was left, he brought at least one of them back on to respond to what I said without challenge; (2) literally 90 seconds before my segment was about to begin, the new cam and sound system I just acquired stopped working, forcing me to unplug everything and use only my laptop cam and mic, which caused the technical aspects to be less than ideal (though still perfectly workable).
Spitzer is a pathetic man

Omigod I needed that! I’m starting to hear Mark Regev in my dreams — which makes them into nightmares.
Thank you again!
Genius.
You’re halfway to getting your jihad pass. (hot tip, it expires as soon as they are done with your help).
READ SOME HISTORY, you moron.
The ship was named for the sea from which the ottomans (muslim turks to those who spent their time in college smoking dope and cruising for sex) launched their successful occupation of Constantinople.
