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 [...]
Former IDF Soldiers Rescue U.S. Citizen Held Captive In West Bank

A woman from the United States who married a Palestinian man she met while he was here in the U.S. was held captive in his West Bank home for three years, where he lives with his other wife and four children. The Palestinian man used violence along with the threat that she’ll never see their two-and-a-half-year-old son again in order to keep her captive.
Her parents reached out to a former combat soldier from the Israeli army who put together a rescue operation with a team of 10 former IDF soldiers. Keeping the U.S. consulate abreast of the operation, they successfully rescued both her and her son and she finally went back to the U.S. yesterday with her son.
Of course, you probably won’t see this story in the NY Times (unless it’s captioned by something like “IDF Soldiers Kidnap Wife and Son From Palestinian Home”).
So, when are we going to make “Not Without My Daughter“ required reading for all women here in the United States (or at least make the movie required viewing)?
