I previously posted about the latest rash of scandalous photos coming out of Afghanistan showing U.S. military atrocities under Obama’s command, and wondering if the media would pick up on it the way they did when it was Bush’s army… Well, here’s a twist I wasn’t expecting: yes, one of the U.S. media, Rolling Stone, [...]
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. He points to a Reuters news item which contains the following despicable sentences: Police said it was a “terrorist attack” — Israel’s term for a Palestinian [...]
In the [sparse] reporting of the Palestinians’ massacre of the Fogel family, several newspapers stand out with their distorted sense of “balance”, i.e., where they feel overwhelmingly uncomfortable describing the barbarity of the Palestinians without at least taking a swipe or two at the Israelis, no matter how patently irrelevant or disgustingly disrespectful it comes [...]
Palestinians Killing Palestinians

In what the Jerusalem Post calls the worst clashes since Hamas drove the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority out of Gaza two years ago, Hamas and a hitherto-unknown group, Jund Ansar Allah (“Soldiers of the Companions of God”), had an all-out battle at a mosque, resulting in 28 Palestinians killed and more than 120 wounded.
(And, of course, all of the mainstream media will be sure to include those figures in the numbers of Palestinians dead and wounded in the “Middle-East conflict”, as though Israel had anything to do with these casualties—or half the others represented in their inflated accounting.)
Taher a-Nunu, a spokesman for the Hamas government, accused the unknown group of a spate of bombings against coffee shops, hair salons, Internet outlets and restaurants throughout the Gaza Strip over the past few years, and said that Hamas “won’t allow lawlessness and anarchy to return to the Gaza Strip.”
(When did it ever leave?)
“No one will be above the law. All members of this group must surrender and hand in their weapons; otherwise, they will be severely punished,” he said.
(“Severely punished”? Is there any kind of punishment that Hamas ever metes out that does not qualify as “severe”?)
The Jerusalem Post reports that journalists in the Gaza Strip are saying that Hamas’s success in eliminating the radical group would consolidate the movement’s authority and frighten its rivals.
(Hopefully, all those terrorist animals will keep each other busy killing one another and forget about Israeli civilians for a while.)
