Israel Naval Blockade Is Legal, According to the U.N.
Tom Gross, an renowned and influential journalist with years of expertise in Middle East reporting, reported on the recent UN commission that found Israel’s naval blockade to be legal, as reported in Israel’s Haaretz newspaper. As he often does, Gross added some great commentary of his own to the story: The Israeli paper Ha’aretz reports that “The... »
The Tide Turns For Israel
The tide of public relations is slowly turning in Israel’s favor, as more and more people are learning the details of the Mavi Marmara incident, seeing the videos put out by Israel, and starting to question the Turkish government’s involvement, as well as that of the Turkish terrorist-affiliated group, IHH (İnsani Yardım Vakfı). For... »
Investigate Turkey!
There’s a great editorial in today’s WSJ, shifting the spotlight of scrutiny from Israel to Turkey, and the role that the Turkish government played in this fiasco: So the Prime Minister of Turkey calls Israel “a festering boil in the Middle East that spreads hate and enmity,” while his foreign minister compares Monday’s Israeli... »
Is Turkey Looking For War?
The Jerusalem Post is reporting that Turkey may be sending a navy escort with the next two Gaza-bound “peace activist” ships. Besides the obvious absurdity of sending armed and chomping-at-the-bit warships to demand peace, this would be an incredibly confrontational decision on the part of Turkey, as it would put the final strenuous test to... »

This has been evident for a while in the news, with many Turkish diplomats (all the way up to the Prime Minister) slamming Israel, snubbing Israel, etc. (e.g., Turkey recently banning Israel from a joint NATO air force drill). Now, though, this... »

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 [...]
