I recently blogged about the trip Human Rights Watch took to Saudi Arabia to raise money for their crusade against Israel.

FBI Probe of AIPAC Partly Motivated By Anti-Semitism
In some pretty damning news, the Washington Times is reporting that the recent FBI probe of pro-Israel lobby, AIPAC, was motivated in part by anti-Semitism.

Jeffrey Goldberg, a correspondent for the Atlantic, cast a spotlight on yet another disgustingly overt example of pure bias in the mainstream media, particularly at the anti-Semitic Reuters newswire.
