The Sunday media bias post, now with extra hypocrisy!

Posted on 04/10/2011 by Meryl Yourish

When a war crime is not a war crime

Posted on 04/08/2011 by Meryl Yourish

The charge of “war crime” is thrown endlessly at Israel, to the point that the Goldstone Report was commissioned and issued by the United Nations Human Rights Committee. It dealt with supposed war crimes by Israel, yet did not once … Continue reading →

Posted on 04/08/2011 by Meryl Yourish

A Laser Guided War Crime

Posted on 04/08/2011 by Rabbi Kaufman

Hamas wants war with Israel; media wants to whitewash Hamas

Posted on 04/08/2011 by Meryl Yourish

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

Posted on 04/02/2011 by Meryl Yourish

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 →

Thursday news roundup

Posted on 03/24/2011 by Meryl Yourish

Watch the British reaction now: The woman who died was a British tourist. Watch for the sudden condemnation of Palestinian terror attacks from the British media. No, let’s get serious. They’ll blame Israel for the death. Also in the article: … Continue reading →

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

Posted on 03/22/2011 by Meryl Yourish

Let’s take a look at two different tales of dead civilians. The first is the AP narrative of what happened last Saturday, when terrorists stabbed three children and their parents to death. The details are grisly; they include stabbing a … Continue reading →

The AP: Hamas propagandists

Posted on 03/20/2011 by Meryl Yourish

Briefly

Posted on 03/17/2011 by Meryl Yourish

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 →

Yada yada, unions rock, yada yada, corporate thieves, yada yada: Sally Kohn, a “community organizer” (really, wtf is that supposed to mean?), sings the praises of unions. This part, however, is in great need of correction: There’s an old bumper … Continue reading →

Wednesday, briefly

Posted on 03/02/2011 by Meryl Yourish
