Even the AP can’t hide the hate anymore, but don’t worry, they’re working hard on trying.
Remember all that bullshit about the Muslim Brotherhood “moderating”? The media has decided to be honest about the Israel hatred in Egypt these days. And here’s the kicker: The AP covered it in the first three paragraphs of their news article–the ones that don’t get cut from your World News section.
Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood staged an anti-Israel rally in Cairo on Friday, the first such protest by the main backers of President Mohammed Morsi since they rose to prominence in the wake of the country’s 2011 uprising.
Emerging from weekly services at Al-Azhar mosque — the centuries-old seat of Sunni Muslim learning — demonstrators chanted “the people want the destruction of Israel” in protest of recent Israeli airstrikes in Syria and the detention of a Palestinian Muslim cleric.
At one point, leading Brotherhood member Mohammed el-Beltagy took the microphone and shouted: “we will repeat it over and over, Israel is our enemy.” Others echoed the call, and one organizer whipped up the crowd in a chant urging the army to launch a war against Israel to “liberate Palestine … from the sons of monkeys and pigs.”
Oh, but don’t worry, the AP isn’t reforming anytime soon. Damaging quotes that prove Israel is right about a group dedicated to its destruction? The AP knows just what to do with them in the updated article: Relegate them to the bottom of the story so the short-attention-span readers would miss them, and the World News section wouldn’t get the “sons of monkeys and pigs” quote.
We can’t have anyone breaking the narrative that Israel is being the recalitrant player in the Middle East, can we? Or that Islamists are willing to either moderate or deal with Israel?
No. Because this is the Muslim Brotherhood’s credo, and anyone who says otherwise is lying.
“Allah is our objective; the Quran is our law, the Prophet is our leader; Jihad is our way; and death for the sake of Allah is the highest of our aspirations.”
You can’t make peace with that.
