Sure, you can call it a biased report since the video release is from Shraga Simmons at MediaGoliath.com, but why not watch the video and discuss the facts? It will be our featured video for the next few days.
Helen Thomas tells Israeli “occupiers” to go back to Europe, then the apology
This is just classic lefty “a few misplaced words stuff. First the Helen Thomas sound bite … then the apology. Is it good enough for you? My answer to that at the end.
Now the apology. Nicely worded, by a publicist?
In a written statement issued Friday, Thomas apologized, saying, “I deeply regret my comments I made last week regarding the Israelis and the Palestinians.”
She said the comments “do not reflect” her “heart-felt belief that peace will come to the Middle East only when all parties recognize the need for mutual respect and tolerance.”
So … satisfied? I am always happy when folks recognize silly stupid statements, and as a member of the WH Press Corps, she should apology. This is not a free speech issue, not for Helen. But I also am not satisfied. Read the apology again, and then watch the video. Ms Thomas claims that what she said is not her heart felt belief, but when you listen to video you can tell it is. Thus in my mind the apology is more a PR redo rather than a heartfelt apology.
If Helen Thomas believes that Israelis are occupiers, so be it. This is America, and those are her views. But as a journalist, she should keep it to herself, and spare us the carefully crafted apology. That’s my view, I hope over time she proves me wrong.
Krauthammer on Gaza blockade and Israel’s options
A clear and concise opinion piece from Charles Krauthammer listing out the options Israel has had during the last 50 years. Forward defense, then active defense and more recently with the blockade, passive defense. If none of these defensive approaches are acceptable, what’s left?
Obligatory video post: We Con the World
Here’s the video produced by Caroline Glick and Latma TV. Glick is the editor for the Hebrew-language media satire website, and she hopes the video is distributed far and wide. We’ll do our part, bringing you the infamous Flotilla Choir.
Gaza flotilla activists from Turkey wanted to be martyrs
Got what they wanted I guess. As I understand it, these activists have been praying to Allah asking for themselves to by martyred for years. We’ve even got a video interview with one of the activists hoping the third time is the charm. No word if it worked out for him.
Obama administration waiting for “facts” on Gaza flotilla attack
It’s amusing President Obama won’t release a statement concerning the Gaza flotilla “peace” activist’s attack on the Israeli defense forces, while he had no problem at all stating the Cambridge Police Department acted stupidly last summer.
Flotilla of Peace … not so much, says Israel – Video of “peace” weapons
Jim Hoft has done the aggregating … so I’m not reinventing the wheel here, but somehow this does not surprise me. As I posted yesterday (video), this was meant to provoke and it is indeed more than interesting as Peter Brooks told us yesterday that 5 of the boats “heaved to”, while one fought back. Can you say “terrorists”.
Video-Israeli Navy Raid on six ship aid flotilla
It’s a nightmare for Israel, and information is still coming in. But based on the four reports I have read so far it appears as if this “peace” flotilla was meant to either show the world it could break a blockade or turn the world against Israel, which these days, wouldn’t be hard. It’s the latter that occurred. But the video clearly shows these peace activists were anything but peaceful. [Read more...]
Keep Israel Safe
The Weekly Standard has got its hands on a new video produced by a new organization called “Keep Israel Safe”. Calling a couple friends to see who is behind it … but until then here’s the video.
Earlier this week Scott Bates from the Center For National Policy told us he is concerned that if the US does not do something within the next six months Israel will take matters into its own hands. No one is more in touch with the middle east than Scott and when he rings the alarm bell … time to pay attention.
