Delegitimizing Israel, one sentence at a time

Fire in Israel

The largest forest fire in Israel’s history has already taken dozens of lives. Turkey is actually offering to help. The AP still can’t resist inserting its boilerplate about the flotilla (of course, never adding that the “bloody attack” was due … Continue reading

When a rise in unemployment is not a rise in unemployment

Observe the AP spinmeisters explaining how a more than 5% rise in unemployment is not a rise in unemployment: More Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week, but the broader trend in layoffs points to a slowly healing job market. … Continue reading

Yeah, sure, okay: Iran says that it chased half a dozen foreign jets out of its airspace during air defense drills. Also, sixteen UFOs, forty-five Zionist infiltrators, and Santa Claus on an early test run of the new RoboRudolph. Oh, … Continue reading

The It’s Tuesday briefs
