Phyllis Chesler zeroes in on the dhimmi double standard of the Western media at JewishPress.com:
Leftists and “politically correct” progressives insist that Americans and Israelis are the real barbarians — that we purposely and sadistically shoot
innocent Arab civilian demonstrators from gunships and tanks and drop bombs
on wedding parties, hospitals, and children.I strongly disagree. Americans and Israelis only kill civilians by accident; Islamist terrorists kill civilians on purpose. The vast majority of American and Israeli soldiers have ethical standards that are far different from those of their Islamist opponents. The world, accordingly, holds them to a different, higher standard.
The world media are also quick to accuse the Israeli and American armies of crimes that they have not committed — and slow to print retractions. …
More recently, we have seen the international media gasp in horror — but not in response to the videotaped beheading of Nicholas Berg, and not in response to the pitiless slaughter of the pregnant Tali Hatuel and her four young children. Some journalists blamed Berg for having been there at all; others spread rumors that he was a Zionist agent. And some blamed Hatuel for having lived in Gaza.
What the world media focused on instead were the photos of the psychologically humiliated and abused Iraqi prisoners in American captivity. They did not focus on the sight of Palestinian terrorists in Gaza as they exhibited the “trophy” body parts of Israeli corpses and held the body parts aloft for ransom. …
May we have the strength of purpose to do whatever it takes to stop our
jihadic enemies for at least another 1000 years. If we don`t, they will annihilate
us.
