Delegitimizing Israel, one sentence at a time
It’s not my imagination, it’s a real anti-Israel bias. The AP put out an update on the Israeli fires, and the overnight editor appears not to hate Israel at all. (H/T: Y from the comments.) “Fire extinguishing planes were on … Continue reading

The whitewashing a of terrorist mass murderer
Arafat’s dead, but the tongue-baths and whitewashing live on. Wow, what a nifty-keen profile of the Yasser Arafat museum in the AP! Why, if you read this profile, you would hardly know that the biggest mass-murderer of Jews since Adolf … Continue reading
Compare and contrast: A tale of two “protests”
