Russia Today host Abby Martin got back on her high-horse recently, accusing Israel of using “Hitler’s methods” to maintain a “Jewish majority.” The host on the Russian state-funded channel adopted her inimitable posture of disbelief and outrage to brandish her accusations.
Martin has a history of spewing anti-Israel propaganda and of lashing out at The Algemeiner. This should come as no surprise, however, as RT has developed a reputation of being no more than a government mouthpiece purporting to “tell the truth,” as this 2010 article by former New Yorker writer and current New Republic staffer Julia Ioffe explains.
Watch a video of Martin below:

I love her i absolutely love her

I’ve watched a few of her videos and I don’t really see much substance. Her segments consist of a lot of speculation and stirring the pot, and I see little in the way of actual journalism here. Her ‘reportage’ appears to be of the whining type, not unlike having to put up with a barking dog in the middle of the night. Furthermore, I did some research on Russia Today and I see that RT is a state-sponsored media arm of the Russian government. Wiki suggests that RT is part of an attempt to infiltrate American politics. Yeah, she’s attractive, but that wears pretty thin after a while. I think there should be a clearer distinction between reporting and commenting. Martin is a commentator, and not old enough to have wisdom behind her comments.

Please tell me you’re trying to be funny.

Abby Martin puts on the sexuality, and don’t the shallow American audience, brainwashed on mind-numbing sex, love it! However, it makes a nice change from the pro-Zionist mainstream media line. The trouble is that RT is just plain repetitive and dull. The news isn’t exactly up to the minute either.
There is an amusing contradiction between the line that Martin and the irritatingly left-wing uber-liberal Thom Hartmann (a white self-loather) take on homosexuality. They both sneer at critics of homosexuality and label them ‘homophobe’, yet it is also Russian state policy to restrict homosexuality.

I don’t think you could have made it any more obvious that you’re clueless about RT, Abby Martin and Breaking The Set. The question is: What motivated you to post this clueless, slanderous comment?
4:42 pm
I love Abby Martin and she just tells the truth. Sometimes the truth isn’t flattering for Israel, so learn to deal with it. Don’t expect everyone to say only good things about Israel 24/7

Abby Martin is awesome.
No doubt the mainstream media reporters (really little more than shills at this point) will be trying to attack her, just as they have all jumped on board with attacking Julian Assange.
Actual journalism which tackles controversial issues and reveals unpopular truths was on the verge of extinction.
We desperately need to defend people like Abby Martin and Julian Assange.

Its shameful and sad how any criticism of Israel is perceived as anti-semitism. Although comparing Israel to Nazi Germany is exaggeration, Israel has plenty of human right violation on its hands. Case in point:
“A Israeli government official has for the first time acknowledged the practice of injecting women of Ethiopian origin with the long-acting contraceptive Depo-Provera.”

@Jerry
The powers-that-be try to use accusations of antisemitism against anyone who threatens their agendas. They’ve been doing it for years now. If you start revealing too much truth about them and their agendas, they’ll try to find a way to paint you as an antisemite in an effort to rally the Jewish community against you.
You’ll often find comments online which claim that ‘the Jews’ were behind 9/11. These comments don’t actually come from members of the 9/11 truth movement; they come from people who are trying to paint the 9/11 truth movement as an antisemitic movement.

Well,
If she really means what she says, she needs to pack her stuff and GETTA HELL OUT of Northern America (back to whatever country her parents came from).

This stupid women’s hysteric and hateful attitude must be something personal nothing really related to her job in the madia. Russia’s “campaign” in Chechnia, Assad’s mass murders in Syria, Arab-Islamic persecutions-torture and killings of Christians and endless massacres of their own people are “Hitler’s methods”. No such things ever happen in Israel!

Abby Martin’s Antisemitic and anti-Western past has followed her to Washington. The hints are in her working previously for the vociferously anti-Israel Pacifica radio network. No Wikipedia entry on her – but let’s assume that will be next in discovering this deeply pro-Russian broadcaster’s background.
10:58 pm
So is she saying the Holocaust actually did happen?
9:43 am
yea, she’s controlled
9:45 pm
This is what pretends to be “journalism”? Where’d they get this cheerleader reject from anyway …
6:31 pm
Abby Martin of Russia Today, comparing Israeli policy to Hitlerian policy is downright immoral. May your tongue be forever transfixed to the roof of your mouth.
9:44 am
actually no, it’s not immoral to critically think!
5:21 pm
Oh my goodness. What are terrible simpleton. She looks so terribly frustrated haha. An aggresive woman no man will go near her hence her frustating outbursts.
12:02 am
I am afraid that I must defer to our aristocratic sounding friend Mr. Van der Linden. Perhaps he is right and we are dealing with a frustrated woman. But even if that were true, why would she target Israel for her outbursts?
Could it be that Mr. Van Linden is failing to look past the feminine aspect (or lack thereof) of this woman because he is perhaps immune himself to expressions of anti-semitism? I am not so immune, and therefore not as easily prone to let somebody off the hood simply because they may be frustrated.
4:30 pm
The real question is, why does this repulsive looking Nazi slut have to wear – of all things a mini skirt while getting her point across. Perhaps the answer is simply what Marshall McCluhan said, “the medium IS the message.”

Propaganda, particularly anti-semetic propagands is something the Russians know about. Wasn’t it the Okrana that created “The Protocols….”?
Problem is the unsophisticated, the naive and the ignorant believe in Coca Cola, Mickey Mouse and the pogrom as the panacea to all conundrums. Thousand million Muslims, five and one half million Jewish Israelis. Who is the scapegoat here?
RT, Russia’s media equivalent of the Republican’s Fox?
