The Quartet of nations (remember them? the architects of the Road Map?) has released a statement that says (among other things) the PA should not allow terrorists in its cabinet.
Interesting spins on this statement. The AP actually spins it exactly as I state above.
The Reuters spin? Anti-Israel, of course.
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) – Major-power mediators for the Middle East conflict urged Israel on Wednesday to work with the Palestinian Authority to ensure Palestinians in East Jerusalem can vote in next month’s parliamentary elections.
The quartet of the United States, Russia, the European Union and the United Nations also urged the Palestinian Authority to assure the security of polling stations and employees of its Central Election Committee.
If you read the statement, all but the last two sentences are focused directly on the PA working towards free, fair, and democratic elections, safeguarding the voters, and working to eliminate terrorists from the PA lists. The first two paragraphs bear directly on those issues, and insist the PA must renounce terrorism.
Two sentences call on Israel directly for actions. Two. The gist of the four-paragraph statement is for the PA to clean up its act.
So what is Reuters’ headline?
Mideast quartet pushes for East Jerusalem voting
What objective media?
