"The Palestine Information Center" is not a credible source. Palestinians are known to be pathological liars.
Through lying like a pornstar, of course.And this happened how?"The Palestine Information Center" is not a credible source. Palestinians are known to be pathological liars.
Hilarious indeed, an occupation of throwing rocks must have a workplace!OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- A number of Palestinian young men from Issawiya district in occupied Jerusalem were badly wounded last night when an Israeli military force stormed their area all of a sudden and started to open fire at them. Eyewitnesses said one of the young men called Ahmed Al-Masri sustained a serious injury in his neck as he was near his workplace in the area.
Santoro in turn shouted at Annunziata, calling her criticism "idiocy." She stood up, detached her microphone and walked off the set.
The incident touched off a political firestorm. Both Santoro and Annunziata are leftists. Rightwing leader Gianfranco Fini, the president of the chamber of deputies, expressed "solidarity and appreciation" to Annunziata and said the Annozero show "surpassed the level of decency."
"If you ask Muslims today what do they feel like, they feel like the Jews of Europe," he told a documentary to be shown on Channel 4 television next week, marking the third anniversary of the attacks on July 7, 2005.
"I don't mean to equate that with the Holocaust but in the way that it was legitimate almost -- still is in some parts -- to target Jews. Many Muslims would say that we feel the exact same way."
What do you call Hamas in Gaza?
Target practice.
What do you call a Hamas operative in the Red Sea?
Pollution.
ooops, sorry, wrong thread

No, seriously, I'm fine with criticizing Israel. I do it all the time. (I think the sentiment is, "Bibi may be an asshole, but he's our asshole.")
There are plenty of papers who get slammed for allegedly having pro-Palestinian bias. I get pissed at papers picking up OTHER PAPER'S reporting without checking anything...like that completely fabricated story about the rabbi who allegedly sentenced a dog to death,
?p=23730or saying that Gilo is part of "East Jerusalem" or that X number of Syrians were killed as a matter of fact when it's the downward spiraling Syrian government's state media you're quoting.
He's right when he makes fun of politicians who claim to be even-handed when they're not. *Shrug* And they don't have to be [even-handed]. But Stewart likes to pick on Fox News (and politicians, and war, and things like 'fighting for peace'), so it's really no surprise...unfortunately, he's now become a terrorist sympathizer's tool.
Looks like a successful death of the palistani jihading dog.A 19-year-old Palestinian university student was killed at the hands of the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) which stormed Faraa refugee camp north of Nablus in a pre dawn raid on Wednesday.

Huh, you should have seen the BBC in Cast Lead. Unrecognisable. One Palestine supporter, one Israeli and the questions, your view, your view - no proper probing questioning. As I understand it this was from hard rules from Israel that every questioning, every fault found with Israel must be followed by an equal fault with the Palestinians. It is absurd reporting particularly as none of our reporters were inside Gaza.
Jeremy Paxman of course was unable to stop himself from being himself and asked some questioning questions of the Israeli spokesman on Newsnight. This was met by a look of incredulity by the Israeli and ended quickly.
However, unable to have reporters on the ground we did have people inside who sent us pictures and told us what was going on and that spoke volumes.
Good reporting does attempt to get at the truth from both sides but that is not the same as what we saw from the BBC during cast lead - as I understand at the orders of Israel. That was a pantomime which I doubt anyone took seriously.

I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you just said in this rambling.
Israel does not control its media (unlike the PA). It also does not require that 'equal fault must be found' everytime there is a criticism or they make an error. Israel supporters only question why you don't care that the PA blows up kids and teaches hatred of Jews in their schools...apparently that is OK with you.
In 2005 Thompson flew to Jerusalem and met the then Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon and the Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas. He assured them the BBC's coverage would be totally impartial. On his return to London, the corporation instituted the Middle East reporting regime that exists today and which, many believe, influenced the decision to refuse to show the charity aid appeal for Gaza.
According to sources inside the corporation tensions over Israeli-Palestinian coverage have induced a state of near psychosis among BBC executives and policy-makers. One insider told the Standard: "They are in a complete white funk. To describe them as like headless chickens running all over the place would be to convey an impression of too much order and cohesion. They are cowering in corners. The fear is palpable."
How did it come to this? A view held by a number of BBC veterans suggests pressure applied by Israel and its supporters has created nervousness and led executives and editorial managers to over-compensate in the face of allegations of pro-Palestinian bias. A former senior editor said: "Whatever we did was contentious. There was a formidable lobby backing Israel and the letters would stream in. The pressure was immense."
"I have investigated this and I am convinced the policy is dictated from the top because of the enormous sensitivity," he said. "The BBC treats the Israel-Palestinian conflict like no other story. The message is: don't antagonise the Israelis." He seeks to prove his point with revelations about the BBC's internal teaching module for journalists covering the Middle East. Reporters are instructed to abide by a series of rules based on what Barkho called a "glossary", a collection of words and phrases reporters should use - or avoid.
"Only 24 of these terms have been made public," he said. "The rest are confidential." He says he has seen the glossary in its entirety and claims it supports his view that BBC policy is aimed at not provoking Israel.
