Reuters Hits Rock Bottom
Posted by avideditor on March 8, 2008
Charles as LGF shows how low Reuters has gone.
Just when you think the mainstream wire services couldn’t possibly debase themselves any further, they release a photograph like this one, taken by Reuters Palestinian propagandist Ibraheem Abu Mustafa, with an unbelievably sick and distorted caption:
Palestinian Hamas activists take part in an anti-Israel rally organized by the Hamas movement in Gaza March 7, 2008. REUTERS/Ibraheem Abu Mustafa (GAZA)
‘Activists!’
Those are children. And in fact, they’re Hamas child soldiers.
Reuters should be utterly ashamed of themselves for this.

Perhaps if Israel wasn’t ghettoizing the families of these Palestinian children from Gaza in the much the same way that the jews were forced to lived in the Warsaw Ghetto, they wouldn’t need to be activists or soldiers.
Reuters is in fact just reporting news. It just happens that the brutal truth they report doesn’t paint Israel as a country of saints being attacked on all sides by their Arab neighbours as you would apparently like. Israeli propaganda has been highly successful, but the truth eventually gets out.
Just to clarify something. This is not anti-semitism. I hope for peace in the Middle East as much as anyone. I truly want the people of Israel to live in a climate of safety and security. I believe the jewish people have a right to a homeland, but I just don’t people you can drive millions of people out of their land and oppress them to achieve it.

1. Are you aware that the Disputed Territories never belonged to the “Palestinians” and only came into Israeli possession as a result of the 1967 six day war in which Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon all massed forces at Israel’s border in order to “push the Jews into the sea”. The Arabs lost and Israel took control of the land. Do you agree that if the Koranimals don’t want to lose territory to Israel, then they shouldn’t start wars? Do you agree that there is justice that Israel, who as far back as 1948 has always sought peace with her far larger neighbors, should live in prosperity – making the desert bloom – while the residents of 19 adjacent Arab countries who are blessed with far more land as well as oil wealth live in their own feces?
2. Did you know that the “Palestinians” could have had their own country as far back as 1948 had they accepted the UN sponsored partition plan which gave Israel AND the Palestinians a countries of their own on land which Jews had lived on for thousands of years before Mohammed ever had a wet dream about virgins? The Arabs rejected the UN offer and went to war with the infant Israeli nation. The Arabs lost and have been whining about it ever since. Do you agree this is like a murderer who kills his parents and asks for special treatment since he is now an orphan?
3. Can you tell us ANY Arab country which offers Jews the right to be citizens, vote, own property, businesses, be a part of the government or have ANY of the rights which Israeli Arabs enjoy? Any Arab country which gives those rights to Christians? How about to other Arabs? Wouldn’t you just LOVE to be a citizen of Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Iran, or Syria?
4. Since as many Jews (approximately 850,000) were kicked out of Arab countries as were Arabs who left present day Israel (despite being literally begged to stay), why should Arabs be permitted to return to Israel if Jews aren’t allowed to set foot in Arab countries? Can you explain why Arabs can worship freely in Israel but Jews would certainly be hung from street lamps after having their intestines devoured by an Arab mob if they so much as entered an Arab country?
5. Israel resettled and absorbed all of the Jews from Arab countries who wished to become Israelis. Why haven’t any Arab countries offered to resettle Arabs who were displaced from Israel, leaving them to rot for 60 years in squalid refugee camps? And why are those refugee camps still there? Could it be that the billions of dollars that the UNWRA has sent there goes to terrorist groups like Hamas, Islamic Jihad, El Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, or Hezbollah? How did Yassir Arafat achieve his $300 million in wealth? Why aren’t these funds distributed for humanitarian use?
6. Did you know that the Arabs in the disputed territories (conquered by Israel in the 1967 war which was started by Arabs) and who are not Israelis already have two countries right now? And that they are called Egypt and Jordan?
7. If your complaint is about the security fence which Israel is finally building in the Disputed Territories, are you aware that it is built solely to keep the “brave” Arab terrorists out so that they can no longer self detonate on busses, in dining halls or pizzerias and kill Jewish grandmothers and schoolchildren? Why are the Arabs so brave when they target unarmed civilians but even when they outnumber their opponents they get their sandy asses kicked all the way to Mecca when they are faced with Jewish soldiers? Why do Arab soldiers make the French look like super heroes?
8. Please explain why you are so concerned about Arabs, who possess 99% of the land in this region and are in control of the world’s greatest natural resource, which literally flows out of the ground? Can’t their brother muslims offer some of the surplus land and nature’s riches to the “Palestinians”? Or is it true that Arabs are willing to die right down to the last “Palestinian”?
9. Why do you not exhibit the same level of concern for say, people in Saudi Arabia who are beheaded, subject to amputation, stoning, honor killing etc.? What about women who are denied any semblance of basic civil rights, including the right not to be treated as property for the entertainment and abuse of her father, brothers, or husbands? What about the Muslims in Sudan and Egypt who are still enslaved, or the women there whose genitalia are barbarically cut off? How about the oppression of Shiites by Sunnis, the gassing of the Kurds by Iraq, or the massacre of “Palestinians” by Jordan (Black September)? Why doesn’t this concern you?
10. Did you ever stop to wonder how much better off everyone in the region would be if Arabs stopped trying to kill Jews and destroy Israel? What would happen if the Israelis gave up their weapons and disarmed? Would they live to see the next day? But what would happen if the Arabs completely disarmed? You know the answer: They would all be AT PEACE! And if there is no war to rile them up, the Arabs would be forced to look at their own repressive, pre-medieval societies. Why would they want to do that when there are Jews to kill?
11. Have you heard “People who define themselves primarily by what they hate, rather than who they love, are doomed to failure and misery”? Can you see the parallels to the Arabs, who are blessed with land and oil, but still gladly train their children to kill themselves in order to kill Jews? Have you heard Golda Meir’s words to the effect of “There will be peace when the Arabs love their children more than they hate ours”? Why do the Arabs hate so much?

Yo glen,
Don’t call Jews murders on my blog with out backing it up. There would be peace if palistian love their children more then they hate the jews.
glenn said
Well, by erasing my last comment, you have just proved that you are a propagandist IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD. The truth hurts and being compared to the Nazis is the sad but horrible truth of the matter.
The fact that you can’t see Palestinians as people shows that you are filled with hate and you will never understand how purely tribal that is.
avideditor said
I will give you one more chance to answer the 11 questions I post above before I ban you from my blog. The Israel is not acting like the nazis. Some times I wish Israel would. But Israel respects the life of innocents way too much.
So answer the questions or get banned.

Ha ha, you just handle the truth!

Glenn,
You have fallen straight into the Pali propaganda machine. The Palis stage events to make it look worse than it is. The Palis are the aggressors in this confrontation. As explained above, the Palistinians have had ample opportunity to establish a state. The 1948 British Mandate itself created a Palistinian state. But because these barbarians hate Jews so much, they have been killing Jews for much of this century. So now the Jews have the power to defend themselves from attacks, suicide bombers, the terrorists have resorted to DAILY ROCKET ATTACKS on civilian targets in Israel. The Israeli government must protect its citizens. So the Palis, in typical propagandist fashion, hide behind their women and young using them as human shields, even launching weapons from schoolhouses. These people are pure evil and they are the ones who target innocent Israelis.
The Media is biased against Israel. Listen to reports from the area. Seldom is it reported that Gaza is the launch site of 100s of missiles a day. Israel needs to respond to these provocations by shutting down the cities and towns which are used to attack. I personally would call for Israel re-taking Gaza and expelling all Arabs. They have lost the privelege of using Israels land to launch missiles against it. Maybe when a true peace partner rises from the ranks of the barbarians, maybe then a true peace can take place.
Your ignorance is expected. You have heard the Pali propaganda without learning the history of the region. The Jews have had a constant presence in the holy land for over 3500 years, long before there even existed a cult called Islam. Please do some research before sounding so ignorant.
