Pigs are flying: A Gaza story that doesn’t mention Israel

I’m in shock. The AP reported on Gaza power outages truthfully. There isn’t a single word blaming Israel for the Palestinian-caused shortage. Hamas and the PA are fighting over who has to pay for the fuel, and the poorer Gazans … Continue reading

Shimon Peres and British anti-Semitism

The Telegraph reports that Britons are “furious” that Israeli president Shimon Peres said that the U.K. is anti-Israel. (By the way, the Telegraph reports that he said the U.K. is anti-Semitic. That’s not what he said.) Let us examine the … Continue reading

AP and Reuters rocket attack spin: Newest members of Journolist?

The AP has been ignoring the many kassam rocket and mortar attacks on Israel (except, of course, for the ones in which the IDF manages to kill a few terrorists before they get off the missiles). But when a Grad … Continue reading

The anti-Bibi media narrative

Interesting that the Washington Post, in an interview with Ehud Barak, chose to portray the lack of direct negotiations in this manner: U.S. Middle East envoy George J. Mitchell has been trying for months to broker a resumption of direct … Continue reading

Thursday briefs

And if they were Palestinian prisoners, this would be the number one news story in the world: Cuban political prisoners tell of horrible prison conditions, only 50 stories so far in the Google News aggregator. Because if it ain’t Jews, … Continue reading

The media anti-Israel narrative strikes again

There’s a new AP boilerplate on the Mavi Marmara incident. It used to be two-sided. At least, in some stories, the AP put the fact that Israeli commandos were attacked halfway down the story, like this: Israel has sought to … Continue reading
