Tom Gross in the Jerusalem Post:
Had Israeli police shot dead an innocent foreigner on one of its buses or trains, confirming the kill with a barrage of bullets at close range in a mistaken effort to thwart a bombing, the UN would probably have been sitting in emergency session by late afternoon to unanimously denounce the Jewish state.
By evening, 12 hours had passed since the shooting, but the BBC still hadn’t interviewed a grieving family, no one had called for British universities to be boycotted, Chelsea and Arsenal soccer clubs hadn’t been ordered to play their matches in Cyprus, and The Guardian hadn’t yet called British policy against its Pakistani population “genocide”…
Britons will also need to stop listening to the lies propagated by large sections of their media. For example, the cover story of this week’s New Statesman, the favored publication of many in Britain’s ruling Labour party, says: “There were no suicide bombers in Palestine until Ariel Sharon, an accredited war criminal, sponsored by Bush and Blair, came to power.”
You begin to wonder whose side some in Britain’s media are on.
Indeed. Read the whole thing.
