CNN has this dementedly-biased headline today:
World rallies around Palestinians amid Gaza offensive
If there were any honesty — moral, ethical, or professional — left in MSM journalism (there’s not, so don’t even bother to look) then the headline would read:
Jew-hating Liberals, Arab nations, and terrorist sympathizers rally around The Nation of Hamas (formerly known as Palestine)
Or, in a sane and rational world, the headline would read;
Everybody who doesn’t love terrorism rallies around Israel’s right to defend herself from terrorist attacks
The Liberal and media hand-wringing over Israels right to defend herself from Islamic terrorist who 1) don’t recognize Israel’s right to exist, and 2) have sworn to never stop trying to eradicate Israel from the face of the world — is nothing short of insanity.
And disgusting.

Back in July 2006, I wrote a post titled, Supporting Israel and Disproportionate Responses (in it’s fight against Hezbollah in Lebanon).
I wrote then, and still believe now:
- I believe that a country has a right to defend itself and its citizens — not only from attacks, but to prevent attacks.
- I believe that — when responding to threats or attacks against it — a country should respond, not proportionately, but by an order of magnitude greater than the initial threat/attack.
- I believe that the retaliation should be so severe as to punish the enemy while minimizing their ability for future attacks, while also serving as a deterrent to future attackers.
The people of Palestine freely elected Hamas. Hamas is Palestine. I fully support Israel’s attempt to turn back the clocks by 20 years in Palestine.

Jammie Wearing Fool responds to CNN’s biased headline:
Add up all the estimate from this bogus story and you probably count about 5000 people worldwide, including the professional protesters and other assorted human debris from the far left and sundry terror-supporting groups such as Code Pink and ANSWER.
But to CNN, that’s the world rallying around the terrorists from Hamas.
CNN’s dementedly-biased headline points to a story that should be examined.
“In London, England, dozens of protesters gathered outside the Israeli Embassy, waving flags and trying to push their way closer to the building, as police tried to hold them back and erect a barricade.”
Pictures not provided, but I”ll bet most of the protesters were not English.
“Police in Germany said about 2,000 protesters marched peacefully down Berlin’s Kurfuerstendamm Boulevard and dispersed after about three hours.”
Peacefully? Again not too many German born college aged kids, but more swarthy types That CNN would refer to as German Youths.

CNN did manage to artfully avoid showing many of the faces of the protesters in the above video montage, classic media liberalism. Think about the absence of suspect description when horrible crimes are reported on, when the suspect description includes black or hispanic/latino/chicano etc.
Why is it that slavish devotion to a jew only state makes one a conservative, yet criticism of the jew only state makes one a liberal who supports banning guns, queer marriages, open borders, higher taxes and abortion.?

Sorry but i don’t think it’s up to the writer of this blog to decide who is a terrorist or not. The UN doesn’t even have a definition for terrorism. Just because you are a pathetic slave to Israel doesn’t mean that Israel is not a terrorist state. There are millions around the world (many non arabs) who regard Israel as the world number 1 terrorist state, but it’s just you conservative retards who love sucking up to them because your all a bunch of bible bashing lunatics yourselves.
Sorry but i don’t think it’s up to the writer….

Oh, I so hope you don’t think you sound intelligent. This is truly one of your dumber (if that is possible) scree’s.
That kaffiyeh wrapped a little tight, perhaps? Or is it that the racist stereotypes filling your head are choking off the blood supply.
Should we concern ourselves over what the UN has decided what a terrorist is? Or maybe we should just look at, say, the World Trade Center and decide for ourselves. Bible bashing lunatics? what? Are Conservatives now Christian Haters? what? Maybe you mean we are all JOOS!
The writer of this blog cannot decide what he is writing about? OK. your dumb.
Millions regard Israel to be the “number 1″ terrorist state? Yeah millions of Religion Of Peace terrorists probably do. Retards? You got something against mentally handicapped citizens? One of them take your bus seat when you weren’t looking?
The UN doesn’t even have a definition for terrorism.
Yeah it figures the most worthless piece of crap ever designed. F— them and the horse they rode in on. I would rather be a proud Conservative than a Liberal hating American scum any day of the week.
