Israel TV: Bad. Syrian TV: Good. Every news organization in the world is quoting Syrian TV as if it’s an accurate count of dead and wounded from the border incursion yesterday. Bloomberg. Reuters. VOA. The AP, of course. Remember when the AP refused to acknowledge the videos released by the IDF that showed the “activists” attacking the IDF with knives and metal rods?
So, who’s got the most unbiased report? Hold onto your hats: It’s the Guardian, which is also reporting that the Lebanese paid “protesters” to come to the border.
Abbas to French: Okay, I’ll talk to Israel since you’re setting the 1967 lines as borders and only giving Israel a year to settle Jerusalem and the refugee issues. Article.
Palestinians to Abbas: WTF? You’re talking to Israel? Hell no! We want the 1947 lines, moron! Article.
Egypt, Hamas close Gaza crossing; nobody cares: Yeah, it’s not news if it’s not done by Jews. Article.
UN has a pretty broad view of what constitutes human rights: Yes, that’s right. Internet access is now a human right, according to the bureaucrats at the UN. Outstanding. Funny, the copy machine and fax machine were just as valuable in the spreading of information (not to mention the telephone), and yet, none of those was designated a human right. Go figure.
