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 [...]
Did Netanyahu Lose His Backbone?

After reading this news item yesterday, which reports that Netanyahu actually asked permission from Obama to construct housing in settlements and got a “one-time permission” from him… I am a bit in shock. Did Netanyahu lose his backbone? Is he going the path of Sharon and many of his other predecessors who apparently went spineless not too long after assuming the prime ministerial position?
If there was ever a time for any world leader to take a stand against a U.S. president, this is it. After all, you’re talking about a president who is used to getting denied his requests all the time (remember this great post?), and who bows down to dictators and despots the world over.
In fact, for a man who has a humongous individual superiority complex, he has what is amazingly an equally humongous national inferiority complex.
So, for Netanyahu to be one of the only world leaders to actually give a damn about what Obama thinks, is just monumentally disappointing and not a good sign of things to come in Israel.
