Media Silent on Egyptian Anti-Semitic Mob Assault
Diana West has written a great piece on the silence of the mainstream media regarding the terrible ordeal that CBS News’ Lara Logan recently suffered at the hands of an Egyptian mob. For those who don’t know the story (which might not be so far-fetched, considering the lack of reporting and outrage), ten days... »
Let The Saudis Bankroll Egypt
A report from Fox News today, citing the Times of London, has revealed that “Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah reportedly told President Obama not to humiliate Mubarak and warned that he would step in to bankroll Egypt if the U.S. withdrew its aid program, worth $1.5 billion annually.” Besides the obvious question of what the... »
Palestinian Paranoia Knows No Bounds
In light of the recent shark attack in Egypt, which Egypt is bizarrely trying to pin on Israel, Khaled Abu Toameh, a Palestinian journalist, points out the absurdly boundless paranoia that grips the Palestinians and extends to Israel’s other neighbors, like Egypt. Reading some of these allegations, you can’t help but wonder why the... »
Egypt’s “Apartheid Wall”
Herbert I. London wrote a great post for the HudsonNY blog, entitled “Egyptian Chutzpah“, in which he discusses Egypt’s new “apartheid wall” initiative. Of course, they wouldn’t call it an “apartheid wall”—that distinction apparently only applies when it’s done by Israel. Nevertheless, it’s the exact same thing (a wall) for the exact same reason... »
Global Double Standard Re Palestinians
When it comes to Palestinians there is a monumental double standard in the world, such that Israel gets condemned right and left for their supposed “treatment” of the Palestinians, while Arab countries get a complete free pass for doing the exact same things (and often worse). Squalid Palestinian refugee camps are not only found... »
Komen Controversy
Susan G. Komen for the Cure just narrowly escaped from a major PR problem. They are holding a conference in Alexandria, Egypt which is being touted as an example of “unprecedented cooperation” in the region. The only problem with that regional cooperation is that Israeli doctors and participants were disinvited at the last minute... »

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 [...]
