Palestinian dies, Jews blamed: In the West Bank, Palestinians say that “settlers” shot and killed a Palestinian teenager who had been throwing stones at a passing Israeli vehicle. The fact that those stones are generally larger-than-fist-sized rocks that have injured and killed motorists driving past Palestinian villages is not brought up in the AP story.
Conference canceled, Jews blamed: Lebanon cancels the World Newspaper Conference, saying that economic issues are mostly to blame, but of course, then blames Israel. And the AP dutifully passes along the anti-Israel line:
An-Nahar said Thursday it deeply regretted the cancellation. It said the global financial crisis and “repeated Israeli war threats against Lebanon” scared away advertisers and sponsors of the event.
Student uses anti-Semitic trope, Jews blamed: Sure, the BBC and CNN are totally pro-Israel, so this Palestinian “journalist” was justified in claiming that in a student interview. Administration decides the quote is anti-Semitic and must be blacked out with marker; hilarity ensues. Just another day in the U.K. for Jews.
