Shameful!? Perverse!
Shameful? Perverse?
This is Islamist normalcy.
I meant it is Islamist normalcy, and MSM normalcy to 1) blame the Jews and 2) make the Muslims the "victims." We live in a very f***ed up world, to put it mildly. This is the new normal, which bears a strong resemblance to the old normal: Jews as objects of hate and scapegoat for everything wrong in non-Jewish societies and within the souls of non-Jewish persons. If the Jews are murdered, they are to blame. If someone else dies, the Jews are to blame. Sic semper anti-Semitism. Every day I wake up and wonder if I can become more cynical, and every day the world succeeds in making me so.
Shameful.
My thoughts exactly when the photo totally negated the welcome coverage of news from Israel.
It sounds like the work of the religion of peace.
Unfortunately it also sounds like it was triggered by cellphone or radio. So there may be no remains of a suicide freak to bury with 'reverence'.Sad.
I'm sick of this bias and misleading news coverage...FOX headline said that 'Militants' sent rockets into Israel from Gaza...Militants...Where are the photo's of dead and battered children?
Did they mention the airstrike was meant to prevent the Arabs from continuing to fire rockets and mortars?
This kind of "reporting" might also have something to do with the threat to journos who publish things the Muslims don't like:
In the past few days, at least eight journalists were severly beaten with clubs or summoned for questioning while doing their job in the Hamas-cointrolled Gaza Strip when Hamas policemen in civilian clothes began attacking demonstrators.
...
Although some of the journalists who were assaulted work with international news organizations, many of these foreign media outlets ignored the story, apparently out of fear of retribution by the Hamas authorities.
The deadly wounded woman from the attack just passed away.

On the "Jihad Attack in Jerusalem" thread, poster David, Thailand wrote:
"The lamestream media will as with the Fogel family atrocity, shift the focus onto settlements and Israel's remonstrable refusal to slit its own throat in exchange for a temporary peace."

And that's exactly what happened as noted in the article. David could not have seen the above story when he wrote his comments—they were posted, quite literally, at the same minute.
It was just so drearily predictable.
Is this the same guy that fell off a stretcher and jumped back on . Or the little boy that got off the stretcher at the Hospital and was pushed back on for the Camera as Palestinians men yelled and rushed him in to the ER.
If THIS guy isn't really dead, he will be later to keep him quiet.
Hamas just has to label him a Informer for Israel or that he's gay. Poooooof,problem gone.
The Reuters version made it sound as though the bus bombing was a response to Israel's "rocket attack which killed .. Gaza civilians". It does get so predictable. These media outlets seem to be concerned that Israel not get one iota of sympathy for the killing of its citizens. They go into their "cycle of violence" spin with plenty of pictures of Palestinians. They never make clear just who always begins the violence and who targets civilians. Why can't they just report the truth?
What I wonder about is how many Muslims sit on the editorial boards and on the board of directors of the large news publishers/broadcasters. Further how many are owned by Muslims outright. What was interesting to me and makes me ask these questions was an article I read about a Muslim broadcaster in New York being tried for murdering his wife because she was going to divorce him. It just jumped out at me that he was a broadcaster. Of course it makes sense that the Muslims would try to control the press since they are against freedom of speech.
