Barry Rubin on Blatant Media Lies About Israel

Elder of Ziyon

via Barry Rubin on media lies.

Israel is subject daily to scores of false claims and slanders that receive a remarkable amount of credibility in Western media, academic, and intellectual circles even when no proof is offered.

Palestinian groups (including the Gaza and Palestinian Authority regimes), associated local and allied foreign non-government organizations, Western radical and anti-Israel groups, and politically committed journalists are eager to act as propaganda agents making up false stories or transmitting them without serious thought or checking.

So the key question is to understand the deliberateness of this anti-Israel propaganda and evaluating the credibility of the sources.

Muslim FBI informant ostracized by Muslim community in U.S.

via Muslim FBI informant ostracized by Muslim community in U.S..

One would have thought that the Vast Majority of loyal, patriotic American Muslims would celebrate Mahmoud Omar as a hero. Why don’t they? Why does a man who helped the FBI against jihadists say, “I lost my people. I lost my religion”? And why don’t authorities ask that question, and seek answers to it? “From star FBI witness to ostracism, loss,” by George Anastasia for the Philadelphia Inquirer, June 27 (thanks to all who sent this in):

Israels Ambassador to U.S. says “tectonic rift” has developed between U.S. and Israel

Jihad Watch

via Israels Ambassador to U.S. says “tectonic rift” has developed between U.S. and Israel.

Michael Oren, Israel’s ambassador to Washington, told foreign ministry colleagues at a private briefing in Jerusalem that they were facing a long and potentially irrevocable estrangement.

Sources said Mr Oren told the meeting: “There is no crisis in Israel-US relations because in a crisis there are ups and downs. [Instead] relations are in a state of tectonic rift in which continents are drifting apart.”…

According to Mr Oren, attempts to gain leverage over President Obama through some of his “pro-Israel” aides – believed to be a reference to Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief-of-staff, and Dennis Ross, a senior State Department official – had failed….

Supremes Say “Yes” To Guns

via Supremes Say “Yes” To Guns.

10:45 am:

The Supreme Court just ruled that the Second Amendment is an individual right. Justice Alito wrote in the majority opinion and concluded:

“The 14th Amendment incorporates the 2nd Amendment right… to keep and bear arms for the purpose of self-defense.”

In 2008, the Supreme Court decided in DC v. Heller that the Second Amendment gives individuals a right to keep and bear arms, but that case only applied to DC, and other federal property. This new case, McDonald vs. Chicago, challenged all gun bans.

Aggressive Miami Model police tactics make their way north of the border

Photography is Not a Crime

via Aggressive Miami Model police tactics make their way north of the border.

So essentially you have two groups of masked thugs; one wearing indistinguishable black uniforms, the other wearing indistinguishable riot gear.

And the real victims are the hundreds who get arrested who have broken no law as well as the taxpayers who end up dishing out thousands in lawsuits.

Islamic hatefest should open Canadians’ eyes, but it probably won’t

“Islamist hatefest should open Canadians’ eyes,” by Licia Corbella for the Calgary Herald, June 26 (thanks to Banafsheh):

More than 10,000 people are expected to attend the Journey of Faith Conference in Toronto on July 2, 3 and 4. That may sound benign, but that fact alone should alarm this entire country.

The conference, sold as one of the largest Islamic conferences in North America, headlines speakers with such vile and repugnant views, that to repeat them almost smacks of satire and farce.

Gee, if only your newspaper had thought to ask those fascinating questions oh, say, a month before the Iowa caucuses.
