Here’s how that AP story might be rewritten: The body of Ori Ansbacher, 19, was found in the woods in the West Bank near Jerusalem on Thursday with extensive stabbing wounds. She had been working as a volunteer at a youth center, and apparently went for a walk in the woods. She had been raped […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: How the AP Covered the Murder of Ori Ansbacher (Part Three)
The protesters frequently hurl rocks and firebombs, and Israeli soldiers respond with tear gas and live fire. Israel, which has been accused of using excessive force, says it does what it must to protect its borders. The protesters do more than “frequently” hurl rocks and firebombs. They keep trying to breach Israel’s security fence, and […]
CNN covers up national security analyst’s ties to Hamas-funding Qatar regime
It has been clear for quite some time that the establishment media is not providing news. It is a propaganda organ for the hard-Left and its jihadist allies. And now that is being definitively confirmed. CNN’s quiet deletion of Kayyem’s ties to jihad-funding Qatar demonstrate that it is aware that featuring such people undercuts its […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: How the AP Covered the Murder of Ori Ansbacher (Part Two)
In the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, meanwhile, thousands of Palestinians attended the funerals of the teenagers. The mother of 14-year-old Hassan Shalabi wailed as mourners brought his body on a stretcher for a final farewell at their home in the Nusseirat refugee camp. “He was everything beautiful at home; his voice, his happiness fills the house. […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: How the AP Covered the Murder of Ori Ansbacher (Part One)
The AP’s report on the murder of an Israeli girl, Ori Ansbacher, and on the deaths of two “Palestinian” teenagers, left much to be desired. The body of Ori Ansbacher, 19, was found in the woods in the West Bank near Jerusalem on Thursday with stabbing wounds. She was buried Friday in the Israeli settlement […]
New York Times admits that “withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal has paid dividends”
When even the New York Times and its house Never-Trumper Bret Stephens are applauding Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal, you know that the results have been decisively in Trump’s favor. I detail just how bad the Iran nuclear deal really was in The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran. That many, if […]
Washington Post hits “baffling argument” that “Islam is not a religion”
Merriam Webster defines “religion” as “a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices.” Islam certainly qualifies as a religion by that definition. Religions profess to connect human beings to the divine. Islam professes to do that. At the same time, however, it is also a political system that is authoritarian, supremacist, […]
UK: Labour MP slams establishment media for ignoring the slaughter of African Christians
“British Labour MP Kate Hoey has condemned the mainstream media for ignoring the ‘slaughter’ of over 100 Christians in Nigeria by Muslim militants over the past three weeks.” Hoey is correct. “Her criticism comes after Western networks and publishers have given extensive coverage to the murder of 50 Muslim worshippers who were gunned down in […]
Muslim “journalist” in UK blames Geert Wilders for Utrecht jihad massacre
Are you getting the new rules? When non-Muslims murder Muslims, it’s because of “Islamophobia.” And when Muslims murder non-Muslims, it’s because of “Islamophobia.” In all cases, the Infidels, not the Muslims, are to blame, and any and all criticism of Islam and even of jihad terror must be ruthlessly suppressed, so that there is no […]
Rep. Ilhan Omar accuses The Hill of “othering” her by mentioning that she posted “Muslim verse”
The Hill is actively Sharia-compliant and wouldn’t dare publish anything remotely critical of jihad terror or Sharia oppression of women and others, but that’s not good enough. Apparently The Hill was not even supposed to notice that the verse Ilhan Omar quoted was Islamic, and to do so is “othering” her, even though she is […]
