Guardian deletes reference to “Palestinians” as perps of synagogue jihad murders, CNN labels synagogue “mosque”

Nov 18, 2014 8:36 am By Robert Spencer

cnnsynagoguemosque“In a reporting gaffe, CNN superimposed their preliminary coverage of the terror attack with the headline: ‘Deadly attack on Jerusalem mosque.'” Isn’t it funny how all these mainstream media “gaffes” all go in one direction. You will never ever see an attack on a mosque labeled as an attack on a synagogue.

“‘Guardian’ deletes reference to Palestinians, CNN labels synagogue ‘mosque,'” Jerusalem Post, November 18, 2014:

From mistaking the Har Nof synagogue where Tuesday’s terror attack took place for a mosque, to deleting references to Palestinian perpetrators, some of the international media continued to report on the events in Israel in an eyebrow-raising manner on Tuesday.

The website of British newspaper The Guardian ran a story about the attack from Reuters. The wire dispatch the agency sent included the headline ‘Palestinians kill four in Jerusalem synagogue attack’ and led with the sentence: ”Two Palestinians armed with a meat cleaver and a gun killed four people in a Jerusalem synagogue on Tuesday before being shot dead by police….”
However The Guardian changed their headline to “Four worshipers killed in attack on Jerusalem synagogue” and in their lead, they also excised any reference to Palestinians, publishing: “Two men armed with axes, knives and a pistol have killed four Israelis and wounded several others in a Jerusalem synagogue …”

In another questionable slant on its coverage, CBC headline their report on the attack with: “Jerusalem police fatally shoot 2 after apparent synagogue attack.”

In a reporting gaffe, CNN superimposed their preliminary coverage of the terror attack with the headline: “Deadly attack on Jerusalem mosque.”

    This isn’t the place for your idiotic anti-semitism.

      Michael Jaffray King knows that.
      idiotic anti-Semitism isn’t his real purpose

      He is really just trying to cover up Islam’s foul stink.
      He hopes that commenters will focus on him instead of Islam’s unmitigated filth.

    Nothing to do with Islam???
    •Last year terrorism was dominated by four groups:
    the (Taliban, Boko Haram, ISIL, and al Qa’ida).

    According to reoort
    The three main factors associated with terrorism ?????
    1 state sponsored violence such as extra-judicial killings
    2 group grievances
    3 high levels of criminality

    This sort of drivel was repudiated at the Nuremburg Trials. Never again. What are the verifiable facts. Jews do not run the economy. Few Jews are at the top. HOWEVER, Protestants own and operate more big companies than members of any other group. Do the research.

    PROTESTANTS are in a conspiracy? Yeah, sure. Actually, they work hard and longer hours.

  7. mortimer says

    Nov 18, 2014 at 10:52 am

    Surprised they didn’t call the attackers “ASIANS” !!!

    But calling them ‘ASIAN’ would be ‘racist’, wouldn’t it.

    However, calling them ‘Muslim’ is apparently ‘racist’ as well because they believe in their twisted cultural Marxist narrative that ‘Muslim’ is a race!

  8. Alex says

    Yes, Michael. Uh-hu, uh-hu. And the Jews are planting all this to make the muslims look bad. They also organized 9-11, Michael, as you surely know. We all love you Michael, don’t you see all the love?

    Today the Guardian has some reasonably good coverage.

    I found that article in question – and it mentions Palestinians in the byline.

    “Palestinians armed with cleavers and gun attack synagogue”

    Here is their live page link:

    http://www.theguardian.com/world/middle-east-live/live/2014/nov/18/jerusalem-synagogue-attack-live-updates

    A cousin of the men, Sufian Abu Jamal, described the attack to the Guardian as a “heroic act and the normal reaction of what has been happening to Palestinians in Jerusalem and at the Al Aqsa mosque”.

    The problem with all this effort to carefully phrase it this or that way – doesn’t change the reality. These things keep happening.

    Here is an attack on people inside of a place of worship – a synagogue. But if it had been in reverse – people attacked and killed inside of a mosque – the whole of the Muslim world would be going ballistic.

    More grotesque antisemitism from Michael Jaffray King. Notice that he doesn’t bother to condemn this Muslim atrocity at all.

    And the truth is that even if one were an antisemitic creep and cared nothing about Jews, that Muslims are murderously attacking Christians as well—there have been stories almost identical to this one where the target was a church.

    The idea that peaceful Jews are the ‘real enemy’ is grotesque and false.

    The only good thing is that everyone here has this Jew-hating tool’s number.

        Hi Salah,

        Do you really think He is a Jew?
        It say’s a man and wife become one. Not to be separated. One in purpose. Not, being the same thing.

        Clearly Jesus states His Creator has knowledge beyond Himself.
        You probably only believe in the Trinity because it’s common.
        Look at the state of Christianity today. Yes, there is a problem.

      • Salah says

        Nov 19, 2014 at 11:01 pm

        @Dan,
        Yes, Dan. My God is a Jew, whether you like it or not.
        I don’t believe in the Holy Trinity because “it’s common,” I believe because this is the faith I freely chose to believe in.
        Besides, this site is not about Christianity, it’s about jihad and its murderous Islamic ideology.

    Guardian deletes reference to “Palestinians” as perps of synagogue jihad murders, CNN labels synagogue “mosque”
    ……………………………

    *Appalling*—especially the crap from CNN.

    FOX News got it pretty much right—they did call the perpetrators “Palestinian terrorists”, said the targeted a Synagogue, and identified the victims as including Rabbis, some of whom were Americans.

    Of course, they did not identify the perpetrators as Muslims, nor the attack as Jihad, but by today’s standards—and those of the Guardian and CNN—this wasn’t bad.

  13. Mirren10 says

    Nov 18, 2014 at 4:29 pm

    So, the ‘palestinians’ who murdered the Jews in the synagogue, were, actually, **Joooos** ??

    Calling a synogogue a mosque while headlining an attack was not a ‘gaffe’. Such a level of incompetence headlining a major news event on the website of a major news organization does not exist. They have people called ‘editors’ in major news organizations. This was deliberate.

    It is called Orwellian abuse of language towards an end. Few will notice or care about the following ‘correction’ to the story hours or days later. That is by design.

    I get my news from aljazeera.com for a reason. The reporting is dramatically superior and the bias is explicit and is easily filtered out.

    Jesus was sent to die for our sins. He was a Jew, one of God’s chosen people. It is His death which gives us salvation, nothing else would do. We Christians do not condemn His people for doing His will. In fact, we know well that God will bless those who bless israel and curse those who curse Israel. Mohammedans curse them, Christians bless them. Read our Book and know God loves you and wants you to come to Him. As to your rant about the Jews’ power. Hogwash. We Christians have used that as an excuse to slaughter Jews whenever things get bad. And we have earned God’s curse every time. Leave us out of your nonsense.

    I have worked as a journalist for 30 years. Pongidae rex is absolutely correct re: “Orwellian abuse of language toward an end.” The CBC in Canada is guilty of this kind of manipulation of words all the time. There headline for the latest atrocity committed by Palestinians against Jews in Jerusalem was, to paraphrase, Two Palestinians shot by Israeli police in Jerusalem.

    Gee, Michael, I’m a Jew (or as you scream “JEW”) and I don’t hate Jesus Christ. I am also a Zionist and it’s obvious that we JEWS piss you off. Is it our Nobel Prizes in physics, medicine or literature that has you so riled up? Is it our advances in technology? If so, you wouldn’t be reading this nor have written your rant above. You’re the one who seems to hate Jesus and there’s no doubt, even the dumbest Muslim and dhimmie can see how much you hate us Jews. Is it because Mohammad (peas be up in him) couldn’t find Jews to follow his carnage? You seem like such an angry person (I refrain from using the term “man” in your case), and I hope and pray that you get what G-d knows you deserve. (Notice, I also refrained from using the word allah, because he’s mohammad, which makes him the devil.) Piss be upon you, my not so much friend.

    OH shove off, Mohammedan, and quit spamming.

    Care to try to explain the many, many Jew-hating verses in the Quran? Not to mention assorted very nasty episodes in the Sira and Hadith? How about what Mohammed did to the peaceful Jewish oasis farmers of Khaybar, and the rape of Safiyya, after he (Mohammed) had had her husband tortured to death earlier in the day? Care to explain the shrieks in the bazaars, “First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people”???

    Care to explain why Maimonides said the Arabs (who were the Muslims) were *the* worst persecutors of the Jewish people, EVER?

    I’ve read Bat Yeor and Andrew Bostom on Islamic antisemitism – a massive, devastating compendium of horrors – and Mark Durie on the dhimma and I *know* that your source is, to say the least, obscuring or leaving out a very great deal.

    I do not see *any* Jews clamouring to return under Mohammedan rule. I don’t see any Jews wanting to return to Islamic Egypt, or Islamic Iraq, let alone Syria or Yemen. And if Iran were not preventing their exit, and basically holding them hostage, I’d hazard the guess that every last Jew still remaining in Islamic Iran (a tiny remnant; most of them exited as fast as they could, just before or just after the Ayatollah came to power; funny that, if Islam is so **wonderful** for Jews, that their community flourished under the less-Islamic Shah, then ran to get away from the more-Islamic Khomeini) would leave.
