The Sunday media bias post, now with extra hypocrisy!

Hamas wants war with Israel; media wants to whitewash Hamas

Yesterday, Hamas declared their pretend unilateral cease-fire, after lobbing 45 missiles—including a Grad rocket shot down by the Iron Dome defense system before it could hit Ashdod—into southern Israel. The reason for the cease-fire? Well, this time, Netanyahu unleashed the … Continue reading

Richard Goldstone’s not-mea culpa in the WaPo

Shorter Richard Goldstone: Oops, maybe Israel didn’t commit war crimes after all, but it’s their fault my report sucked because they wouldn’t cooperate with me. Oh, and you know, those Hamas guys may be war criminals. By the way, this … Continue reading

There’s dead, and then there’s killed by Israel

Briefly

Uninformed people, understandable. Uninformed journalists, no: So religious Jews wrapping themselves in tefillin and praying is an “elaborate ritual“? Really? Because I’ve seen people put on tefillin, and it’s not all that elaborate. The AP can’t even get something this … Continue reading
