The “Is it Friday Yet?” briefs
Wikileaks to al-Jazeera: Hey, we hate the Jews, too! Okay, perhaps that’s a little strong, but read between the lines of this article (or even just read the actual text), and it’s clear that Julian Assange is assuring the Arab … Continue reading
The AP anti-Israel slant, updated
