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 [...]
Your Tax Dollars To Teach About Martyrdom

In the last 15 years, your tax dollars has pumped $2.4 billion to the Palestinians for programs that supposedly “reduce poverty, improve health and education, create jobs and advance democracy.” This is all done through a program called “USAID”.
Of course there is the obvious fact that there has been zero improvement in terms of health, education, jobs, and democracy, while the Palestinian Authority took that $2.4 billion dollars and funneled it to weapons, terror training, and—of course—the personal bank accounts of the corrupt PA leaders.
But, besides those lovely expenditures, we can now include hate indoctrination of children in the list of things our tax dollars have been funding. Yup, teaching children about the joys of martyrdom, the virgins waiting for them, and the “evils” of the enemy, Israel.
Arutz Sheva provides this exposé:
The massive USAID program for the Palestinian Authority helps build schools where children learn incitement and that the State of Israel does not exist, investigative journalist David Bedein revealed to Arutz Sheva.
“This is a catastrophe,” he said. “The government of the United States prohibits Palestinian Authority incitement against Israel while it builds the infrastructure for continuing the incitement.”
He said that a USAID official told him that the agency does not examine the PA curriculum and does not check to see if any of the assistance ends up in the hands of terrorists.” Bedein asserted, “They teach children about ‘martyrdom’, praise violent resistance and teach that the entire State of Israel does not exist.”
The USAID program has pumped $2.4 billion into the Palestinian Authority since 1994 for what it says are programs that “reduce poverty, improve health and education, create jobs and advance democracy.” USAID says it plans to invest another $153 million in 2010 for the development of PA infrastructure in Judea and Samaria.
Congressmembers visiting Israel this past summer were surprised to hear from Bedein about continuing incitement in PA textbooks, despite its specific prohibition in the American Roadmap plan.
As far back as six years ago, Bedein reported that the U.S. government funded an Arab lobby group in Jerusalem that “trains media professionals in the art of transforming the image of the Arab-Israeli struggle into an Arab David against an Israeli Goliath.”
