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.""

Jpost: Israeli victims don't count at State

This is not an oversight, or a slight. It represents a considered (however absurd it might seem) position on a deadly serious issue. American Jews: If you think this doesn't affect your life, you need to go back and read some Holocaust books.

Ruth Matar in Tidewater, Virginia

I just returned from an evening with Ruth Matar, founder of Women in Green, the down-to-earth movement in support of Israel. It was inspiring to be in her presence! I urge you to check out Women in Green, and get behind it if you can. This is a volunteer organization; nobody takes any money for the wonderful work they do. Visit their Web site, and find a way to participate. Every dollar you invest goes into the work, not into fundraising.

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. That is, a Jewish youngster shot dead by Arabs while sitting at home is: Israeli youth killed as Palestinians infiltrate settlement, but an Arab youth killed while threatening Jewish lives is "Israeli soldiers shoot dead Palestinian boy"."

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.

Netanya Market: (1 killed, 48 injured) Update: 3 killed, 50 injured

This Ha'aretz article reports how Arafat is not attacking Israeli civlilians....As we've noted here, just look at any of the pseudo-military patches of any of Arafat's groups - his own, Tanzim. El-Aksa Martyrs Brigade, Hamas, PFLP, et nauseating al - and you'll see a map of the area whose residents are considered fair game by him and his ghouls. It is all of Israel.
