It is amazing how much the world ignores the excesses of Islam while vilifying Israel, the only liberal democracy in the Middle East.
How can it be possible for Western media to ignore the highest ideal in Israeli society, which is to save a life?
How can it be possible for Western media to ignore the highest ideal in Arab society, which is to TAKE a life?
Does the truth mean so little to these people?
What an amazing reflection on Western culture. We actively ignore the vilest, most awful examples of depravity in Israel’s enemies while vilifying and calling awful, EVERYTHING about Israeli society.

Those of us who know something about media distortion are not surprised by how and where the lies start. But, are YOU surprised?
Probably not.
Journalism has been on a downward spiral for the last century, and they only have journalists and their editors to fault for this decline. When you distort the truth (i.e., lie) for long enough, people start to figure this out, and then start to look elsewhere to be informed.
That’s why established newspapers are losing subscribers everywhere, and why advertising dollars are fleeing to alternative media and the blogosphere. And, it all starts with Journalism School.

The Global March to Jerusalem (GMJ) was on Friday, so I would like to take a moment to highlight their claim of ethnic cleansing by Israel in Jerusalem.
As you know, ethnic cleansing is a horrendous act that should be stopped immediately. Here is the definition of Ethnic Cleansing:
ethnic cleansing, the attempt to create ethnically homogeneous geographic areas through the deportation or forcible displacement of persons belonging to particular ethnic groups. Ethnic cleansing sometimes involves the removal of all physical vestiges of the targeted group through the destruction of monuments, cemeteries, and houses of worship.

His name is Nicky Larkin, and he really did hate Israel.
Now, he doesn’t.
The reason why he doesn’t hate Israel anymore comes from his honest attempt to create a documentary film exposing Israel’s mistreatment of the Palestinians. When he went and interviewed both Israelis and Palestinians… and, when he looked into the situation…
He changed.
Or, maybe he hadn’t changed. His eyes just opened.
This is a fascinating story – a journey of discovery that I have seen many, many times from many sides. I’ve even made a couple journeys like that myself. This is why I’d rather have honest criticism than dishonest support.
