Or they’ll frown in Syria’s general direction: The Arab League is giving Syria 15 days to stop murdering its own citizens. The vote was to suspend Syria from the league, and as you can see, even murdering over 3,000 civilians isn’t enough reason to be thrown out of the Arab League. Now, if it were Israelis, and a few terrorists got taken out, there’s be uninamous consent to do something nasty. But hey, when you run on Israeli Double Standard Time, that’s to be expected. Oh, and of course, Syria is claiming that it’s really Israel that’s causing all the trouble.
Syria’s ambassador to the Arab League, Youssef Ahmad, held up a document he said was shared with the Arab foreign ministers. In it, he alleged, was proof that weapons from Israel had been found in Syria among the protesters.
“The Syrian opposition is also getting logistical support from Arab countries,” he said in his public remarks to the body. The Syrian regime frequently claims outside forces are fomenting the violence. The opposition denies that, opposing foreign intervention.
Huh. That’s funny. I thought the AP standard was to get a quote from the ones being accused, or to say, “The AP was unable to confirm the ambassadors allegations.” [slap] What am I thinking? That the AP is going to keep to the same standard for Israel as it does for everyone else?
Who coudn’t see this coming? Egypt is now expecting Israel to release all Egyptian prisoners in exchange for the poor fool who was in Egypt during the protests and picked up as an “Israeli spy.” Great precedents there, guys. And Hamas vows to kidnap more Israelis and do the same as they did with Gilad Shalit. And oh, yeah, the new slogan: Today the prisoners, tomorrow al-Aqsa. With the help of thousands of Arab Israelis, no doubt.
The next war is going to be really, really, really bad.
No, no bias whatsoever: So what’s the AP headline over the terrorist being released for Gilad Shalit? You know, the ones responsible for the Sbarro, Dolphinium, and Passover Massacres?
Prominent Palestinian prisoners to be freed
“Prominent.” Like they did something important, or worthy of note. Oh, but don’t worry. Now it’s been updated to “Poll: Israelis widely support prisoner exchange”. And of course, they still aren’t naming the attacks. “A Jerusalem cafe”. “A hotel bombing that killed 30 people celebrating the Passover holiday”. No, why mention the Sbarro and Netanya massacres? That wouldn’t fit the narrative.
