British press sympathizes with Jew-killers
http://www.jnewswire.com/news_archive/04/02/040219_british.asp

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and England's Sky News Thursday ran reports sympathetic to the "Palestinian" jihadist bombers who have mass-murdered hundreds of Jews over the last 11 years.

The BBC lionized disgraced MP Jenny Tonge, who was recently forced to relinquish her front-bench seat in the House of Commons after saying she might consider becoming a "suicide" bomber herself, and who subsequently intimated she thought these killers were "brave."

Simultaneously, Sky News played and replayed an "exclusive report" on a meeting between its Middle East correspondent and a "Palestinian" woman would-be jihadist bomber who is serving five years in an Israeli prison.

By trying to raise sympathy for the terrorists, both stations were following a century-old British tradition of pro-Arabism.

From early Thursday morning to late in the afternoon, in its top news slot for a considerable part of the day, Sky News TV ran a "special report" on what it called a "new breed of militants" - "Palestinian" women bombers prepared to die for their cause.

Sky correspondent Emma Hurd had been given access to an Israeli prison holding "young Palestinian women whose smiling faces belie their crimes."

One of them was a "placid 27 year old," Obeida Khalil, who was serving a five-year sentence for planning to carry out a "suicide" attack.

"For me," Khalil said in Arabic, "all the Jews are soldiers and I wanted to kill as many as I could."

2. That is fucking lies
I saw both reports, and it takes some real nerve to lie this blatantly.

The BBC actually ran heavily negative reports of the Tonge incident (barely allowing her to respond), including multiple interviews with conservative spokesmen, as well as Israeli lobby spokesmen.

As for the Sky report on suicide bombers, it was extremely well done and actually left you with a feeling of disgust at the (attempted) actions of these criminals (as they were termed, accurately). There was no "sympathy" whatsoever, and access was okay-ed by Israel.

Oh, and what's with the quotes around "Palestinians"?

Is somebody trying to delegitimise the existence of a people? Not even the right-wing Israeli press bothers doing that anymore (Jpost partially excepted).

4. Well if you're going to kick it....
...more good stuff from JNewswire:

http://www.jnewswire.com/editorial/03/11/031103_parade.asp

Our chief joy, their chief target

<snip>

"An international organization representing people who take pride in publicly parading perverse sexual lifestyles has set its sights on the streets of Jerusalem.

The "International Association of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered Pride Coordinators" (PRIDE) plans to bring thousands of people to cavort and conduct themselves lewdly in the holy city two years from now. *

According to the local sponsors of "Jerusalem World Pride 2005," the event will bring "a new focus to an ancient city through a massive demonstration of … boundary-crossing celebration."

<snip>

"What, then, should our response be to the planned homosexual assault on Jerusalem? While we hate the way of the wicked, railing in rage against them is not the answer."

<snip>

"Are we going to let the people in this perversion-parade outnumber those of us from the nations who know that this city is to be the primary focus of our concerns and prayers in the coming years?


There may be a few million homosexuals on the planet, but there are many millions more true Gentile believers who will not bow the knee to the god of this world, and who still respect the LORD God and His word enough to want to obey His voice."


Oh, my!
