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 [...]
Hypocritical World

Steven Plaut had this perfect response to the hypocritical reaction of the rest of the world yesterday:
Tragic?
The whole world is speaking about the flotilla affair as “tragic.” The Israeli media and government are also calling it “tragic.”
It was not tragic. It was a terrorist aggression against Israel by Islamofascists and leftwing fascists. The tragedy is that the flotilla ships were not sunk by torpedos, as I proposed, rather than forcing IDF soldiers to risk injury.
The tragedy is that the idiotic Israeli politicians are agreeing to an “investigation” of the soldiers’ actions, so once again Israel proclaims itself guilty until proven innocent in order to appease the anti-Semites. Once again the world is demanding a Goldstone-style investigation, one whose conclusions were written before the ships even left Turkey.
Want an investigation? Let’s investigate why ONLY 9 terrorists on the ships were killed in the fighting. That seems to be the final tally. Investigate why the Sheikh SALAH was not tossed overboard in memory of Leon Klinghoffer. How about investigating the Arab students at the University of Haifa who injured a policeman yesterday in their violent pro-Hamas rally?
And what should be the appropriate response to Turkish involvement in the terrorist flotilla and the attack on Israeli soldiers?
The time has come to stop the pretense and to start calling a spade a spade. The Ankara regime is in control of Turkish-occupied Greek Anatolia. Greek Pontos must be freed. The lands of Homer must again fly the Greek flag. We will not even BEGIN to talk about Turkish crimes in Northern Cyprus.
The correct name for Istanbul is Constantinople, so let’s start using that name. Let’s start calling Turkey by its correct name – Occupied Greece. When will the Obama people start speaking out about construction activity in occupied Constantinople? It is time to end Turkish occupation, not only of Greece, but also of the homelands of the Kurds and the Armenians. Until those areas are liberated, the EU should dismiss the attempts by the Asiatic aggressors to gain admission as members of Europe. Let the EU tell them to go back to their Turkic homelands of origin.
And maybe the time has even come to demand that the legitimate Ottoman rulers of the Turkish people be restored. Sure, the Ottomans had their faults, but they were far more civilized than the criminal Ankara regime.
