- Rolling Stone’s Bizarre Cheap Shot At Sarah Palin
March 28, 2011
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, [...] - More Disgustingly Overt Reuters Bias
March 24, 2011
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 [...] - Bloomberg’s “Crash Tax”
March 24, 2011While reading last month’s issue of AAA’s Car & Travel magazine, I was surprised to discover that Bloomberg (with the FDNY behind him) is now trying to push a “crash tax” on anyone involved in a car accident, with such taxes ranging from $365 up to $490, depending on the severity of the crash. The [...]
- Obama’s Abu Ghraib
March 21, 2011The latest news out of Afghanistan is going to be really interesting to follow, if only to see how the media handles it. According to the Guardian and other (so far relatively few) sources, pictures have now made their way out of Afghanistan (courtesy of Germany’s Der Spiegel) showing brutal and psychopathic activities by U.S. [...]
- Sympathy For Israel? Time To Restore “Balance”!
March 16, 2011
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... »
Netanyahu 1, Obama 0
Score one for Netanyahu. Haaretz is reporting that the United States has dropped demands for freezing any construction in Jerusalem, indicating that Netanyahu’s firm stance and consistent message of Jerusalem being off the table is paying off. Just as laudable, though, were the other stipulations that Netanyahu insisted be part of this new “gesture”... »
No Respect In The Middle East
Ronald S. Lauder, the president of the World Jewish Congress, has written an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal today, on the lack of respect being one of the main problems causing the elusiveness of peace in the Middle East: the lack of respect by the Palestinians for Israel as an established state,... »
British Interference In Jerusalem
In some unbelievably outrageous news, Arutz 7 is reporting that Britain is funding organizations that buy up land in Jerusalem for Arabs, so as to stem the Jewish population tide, or as admitted by a British diplomat, to “halt Israeli expansion”: Israel is awaiting clarifications from Britain regarding a British diplomat’s remarks that his... »
The New York Times: Just the Facts?
New York Times coverage often supports the Palestinian narrative without placing events in greater context. Headlines, eyewitness accounts, and images depicted the Gaza conflict as Israeli aggression against Palestinian civilians. Settlements are misrepresented by having images of tiny outposts accompany articles about settlements. Issues such as Palestinian incitement are downplayed or ignored. »
Ignoring The Facts In Jerusalem Apartments Dispute
Rafael Broch published an article in the Guardian essentially yelling "stop the madness" and trying to call attention to the actual facts in this apartment dispute case, none of which even remotely resemble the story hyped up in the media. »
U.S. Condemnation of Israel Escalates
A couple of days ago, I blogged about America’s ridiculous condemnation of Israel regarding a legal title dispute over property in Jerusalem. It looks like that situation seems to be escalating now, as Arutz 7 is reporting that the U.S. has summoned Israel Ambassador Michael Oren for a dress-down. Arutz 7 indicates that this is... »
Obama Trend Continues: U.S. Condemns Israel
In what seems to be the solidifying policy of Obama’s administration, the United States has struck yet another blow against its supposed “friend”, Israel. The State Department lashed out against Israel for evicting a couple of Palestinian families who were squatting on Jerusalem land that clearly belonged to others (unfortunately the “others” in this... »
No Qualms About ‘Meddling’ In Israel for Obama
Mackubin Thomas Owens wrote a great piece in the Wall Street Journal in which he juxtaposes Obama’s hesitation to ‘meddle’ in Iran with his eagerness to straighten out Netanyahu with some tough talk just weeks into his new position as prime minister of Israel. This absurd policy of “curry favor with our adversaries at... »
Obama Advocates Apartheid
Jeff Jacoby of the Jewish World Review points out the incredible irony of Obama’s policy on Jerusalem and the construction within, in that we have a black president who, having finally broken through the glass ceiling of the until-now white presidency, is now calling for apartheid and segregation in Jerusalem! Furthermore, the restrictions that... »
United States Must Keep Its Word
Israeli cabinet minister Dan Meridor has come out strongly in response to the attacks by Obama and his State Department on the construction in the Israeli capital of Jerusalem. As I pointed out previously on this blog, there was an agreement between the United States and Israel on the issue of settlement construction, and... »
Netanyahu Stands Firm on Jerusalem
In his remarks to his Cabinet, Netanyahu has thankfully expressed his firm stance on continuing building in east Jerusalem and his sharp disagreement with any policy attempting to render east Jerusalem judenrein. He stresses the status of Jerusalem as an “undivided city” and says: I would like to re-emphasize that the united Jerusalem is... »
NY Times Can’t Keep Its Story Straight
Seventeenth century English politician Algernon Sydney said that “liars need to have good memories.” Well, the folks at the New York Times should learn a lesson from that because they spend so much time spinning (and outright lying), that they sometimes lose track of their “facts” in the stories they spin. James Taranto of the... »
L.A. Times Bashes Settlements, As Usual
Steven Plaut, a professor, writer, and blogger living in Haifa recently posted on his blog the eye-catching headline: “L.A. Times runs a pro-settlement column!”. Naturally, I had to check it out. While the headline was technically accurate, what he must have missed was the fact that the L.A. Times also simultaneously ran not one,... »
There WAS an Agreement On The Settlements
Elliot Abrams, a senior fellow for Middle Eastern Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, and a U.S. official who handled Middle East affairs at the National Security Council from 2001 to 2009, has written a forceful op-ed piece in today’s Wall Street Journal on the agreement between the United States and Israel on... »
