While FOX News has traditionally been critical of the anti-Israel attitude of the Obama White House, Gillian Turner has been a notable exception. Turner, a FOX News commentator of Jim Jones' group, was brought on in the aftermath of Obama's backstabbing at the UN.
Gillian Turner bent over backward to attack Israel and defend Obama. She not only rejected Netanyahu's conviction that Obama had orchestrated events, but accused him of being willing to say "anything" because he was so angry at Obama.
"The Netanyahu administration is so upset with President Obama," Gillian Turner said, bobbing her head and appearing to be chewing gum during the serious discussion, "that they're sorta willing to say anything."
Perhaps Gillian Turner had confused Netanyahu and herself. As she appeared to be willing to say anything. Without having any idea of what she was talking about. Gillian Turner had come under fire for her left-wing biases before.
And here Gillian Turner defended Obama's war on Israel and apartheid demands that Jews be prevented from living in some parts of the Jewish State.
Turner bizarrely insisted that "there's millions of Israelis there and around the world that agree with President Obama on this."
Considering that the entire population of Israelis is in the millions and that Netanyahu and the center-right have repeatedly won elections, Turner is clearly wrong and doesn't even know basic facts about Israel.
In her best Valley Girl intonation, Gillian Turner accused members of the Israeli government of wanting "Israel to reign supreme." She whined that Trump's pick for Ambassador, David Friedman, has the "potential to cause damage in the bilateral relationship."
It's unclear how a man whom both Trump and Netanyahu approve of is going to cause damage to the bilateral relationship, but Gillian Turner's appearance had made it obvious that she hates Israel and has no idea what in the world she's talking about.
Turner's first Google result is her appearance on the "50 Most Beautiful on the Hill." It's unclear what other qualifications she has to discuss Israel.
Gillian Turner accused Netanyahu of "exploiting our political system". She ranted that he had "completely allied with Republicans, with conservatives, and hasn't really cared about the Democrats"
Then Gillian Turner broke into a complete lie when she misrepresented Ambassador David Friedman's criticisms of J Street as "contemporary Jews in the United States and in the diaspora who sorta go against West Bank expansion and settlement policy are as bad as Jews who during the Holocaust supported Nazis."
This is not only a lie. Friedman was talking about J Street, an anti-Israel lobby. Gillian Turner attributed highly specific comments to Ambassador David Friedman that he never made. Furthermore she showed a basic ignorance of what he was even talking about in terms of Jewish history during the Holocaust.
Gillian Turner is hopelessly ignorant, bigoted and biased. She should not be appearing on FOX News as an expert on Israel. And FOX News should insist that she apologize and withdraw her smear of Trump's pick for Ambassador to Israel.
