Checkpoint “misery” exaggerated by the AP
This get-out-your-hankie story is the latest profile by the AP of the horrors the Palestinians have to go through—all, of course, caused by Israel. This one is an AP correspondent who spent a week (five days, actually) going through the … Continue reading
The whole world is wrong
I don’t really want to encourage the anti-Israel troll from my previous post, but there is a concept that he brought up that bears further examination. It is the world’s contention that Israel must be wrong, because the whole world … Continue reading
