Always, the anti-Israel bias

Just in case you thought the AP might be reforming: Of course not. Look what it reports as the Palestinian preconditions to peace talks with Israel: Israeli media reported that Israel had called for renewed peace talks without preconditions. Palestinians … Continue reading

What the AP leaves out of its news on Israel

Once again, the whitewashing of Israel’s enemies is front and center in the AP narrative. While Reuters managed to at least mention, deeply buried that it is, that both Egyptian presidential candidates want to “review” the peace treaty with Israel, … Continue reading

Israel’s historic unity deal

Friday news roundup

Schadenfreude: It’s a guilty pleasure. Aw, I feel so bad for Turkey. Well, no, really, I don’t. They don’t like S&P downgrading them? They should probably stop concentrating on hating Israel and pushing Islamism and work on their economy instead. … Continue reading
