Disregard for Truth in the Media

Israel News : Jerusalem Post Internet Edition reports: "WHEN NINE TIMES as many Israeli dead as Palestinian ones are women, it's awfully hard to believe in allegations of indiscriminate Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians, to say nothing of an even division of claims on victimhood and blame. It's such a nagging little truth - and so easy to ignore. Then again, as a sage British politician once observed, "nagging is the repitition of unpalatable truths.""

Capitulation Breeds Contempt

Daniel Pipes in the Jerusalem Post: "When Israel retreats before an enemy that seeks its destruction, it is perceived as weak. This in turn emboldens that enemy to step up its attacks. The lesson: Israel should consider pulling out of disputed territories only after having achieved true and permanent acceptance of its existence by its enemies."

WorldNetDaily: The day Arafat was offered power

Joseph Farah comments on Arafat's past:

"What's the lesson here?

"It is one that has been overlooked by history. Arafat will settle for nothing less than all of Israel. There is little point in negotiating with him. Other Arab leaders have learned this first hand – which is why he will never again be allowed to operate on their turf. "

Active vs. Passive Voice

Judean Voice observes: "When reading the newspaper, take a second to notice how the death of Israelis is always described in the passive and the death of Arabs, in the active.

NO "CLEAR EVIDENCE"?!?

State Department tells Congress there was `no clear evidence' Arafat directed terror attacks. All this means is that the perenially anti-Israel State Department (see "The Secret War Against the Jews," among MANY others) has something horrible up its sleeve.
