==Profile of Hezbollah supporter: racist Ben Norton==
Radical racist Ben Norton, long supporter of Islamic republic of Iran, its terrorist Hezbollah proxy, and the brutsl Asad regime in [[Syria]] and Hezbollah, has been called out in August 2020, after denouncing Arab Lebanese who denounced Hezbollah after Beirut explosion, as "sellouts".<ref>[https://www.algemeiner.com/2020/08/14/some-people-are-so-antisemitic-they-support-hezbollah/
Some People Are So Antisemitic, They Support Hezbollah". ''The Algemeiner,'' August 14, 2020] ...plenty of Lebanese people hate Hezbollah. The comments on Naharnet are filled with people arguing about Israel — with plenty of them defending the Jewish state.
But Ben Norton, a pseudo-journalist who works for Max Blumenthal’s Grayzone site, is incensed at the Haddad tweet: A white Westerner who considers himself a liberal is saying that Lebanese people who disagree with his rabid hate of Israel are “sellouts” for hating Hezbollah more. This is a typical, racist attitude — that the only Arabs allowed to have an opinion are those whose opinions match a leftist white man. The Grayzone’s apologetics for the Hezbollah terror group are something to behold. Here’s a video where they blame everyone but Hezbollah for Lebanon’s problems, and where the person being interviewed says flatly that Israel doesn’t want a functioning, civil Lebanon but prefers that it be divided into sectarian groups that hate each other, because that is what ‘Zionism’ demands (starting at 20:00).
In the end, these people’s hate for Israel is so crazy that they feel they must support any group that opposes the Jewish state, no matter how illiberal or murderous they might be.
This is the power of antisemitism — that anyone who hates Jews is an ally.</ref>
On Jun 25, 2019 Norton protested the uniqueness of the Holocaust on twitter.
(Acting as if he doesn't know the uniqueness of the Holocaust, the extraordinary historical unparallel, from planning to annihilate an entire people, till the enormous unparalleled systematic attempts and the sheer numbers).
A twitter under user name Kaveh, an Arab replied to it: "non Jews don't count" without objection from Ben Norton.
Ben Norton is a [[BDS]] supporter, a shoddy (so-called) "reporter" for Salon, <ref>

In a factually challenged piece in Salon, Ben Norton displays a dazzling skepticism of information from Israeli sources alongside a great acceptance of unfounded anti-Israel conspiracy theories (“ Prominent American professor proposes that Israel ‘flatten’ Beirut – a million-person city it previously decimated,” Feb. 19).
Norton’s article, a critical response to a Feb. 15 Haaretz Op-Ed by Professor Amitai Etzioni, is first and foremost based on the false premise that the professor called for flattening Beirut. Norton, a politics staff writer at Salon, avers: “Etzioni concludes his piece implying Israel has no other option but to bomb the city of Beirut]

Writing about an Israeli airstrike on Hamas facilities in Gaza, Salon’s Ben Norton selectively cites context, downplaying the rocket threat and depicting Palestinian attackers as victims. He also presents outdated information as if it’s current.]

Z. Raymond.Jun 8, 2016 · New York Governor Andrew Cuomo issued an executive order against BDS... In the Salon article Norton’s description of BDS is false in itself, as its goal is not merely to pressure Israel to “comply with international law” and cease its alleged “violations of Palestinian human rights” – but actually for the delegitimization and destruction of the only Jewish state. Clearly a BDS supporter himself, Norton then moves on to his own delegitimization of Israel. He exaggerates Bernie Sanders’ criticism of Israel, and implies Israel indiscriminately bombs innocent Palestinians in Gaza, with no mention of Hamas..]</ref>
Norton is as radical as they come. In September 2 2020 he twitted:
<blockquote>Who else saw this coming? Nathan Robinson is yet another staunchly anti-Marxist "libertarian socialist" / anarcho-liberal who is now openly endorsing right-wing war criminal Joe Biden for president. Trump and Biden are almost politically indistinguishable on most major issues. The writer there, on the extreme, anti Biden, Ben Norton on Twitter: “ Who else saw this coming? Nathan Robinson is yet another staunchly anti-Marxist “libertarian socialist” / anarcho-liberal who is now openly endorsing right-wing war criminal Joe Biden for president. Trump and Biden are almost politically indistinguishable on most major issues”</blockquote>
Some of Ben Norton’s 2020 articles (with his co “activist” Blumenthal) via his Grayzone, including sugarcoating Soleimani and lying Hezbollah and Asad regime don't target civilians.
The Grayzone - Jan 6, 2020:
<blockquote>Iraqi PM reveals Soleimani was on peace mission when assassinated, exploding Trump’s lie o‘imminent attacks’</blockquote>
The Grayzone - Jan 7, 2020:
<blockquote>Iranian and Hezbollah leaders oppose attacking civilians as Trump threatens to bomb cultural sites</blockquote>
The Grayzone - Jan 8 2020:
<blockquote>Who are the real terrorists? Iran/Hezbollah vs. Trump
The Grayzone - May 13, 2020
In banning Hezbollah, Germany responds to far-right, US and Israeli pressure – not any security threat</blockquote>
