The report below states: “Following Wednesday night’s terror attack in Tel Aviv’s Sarona market that left four people dead and 16 wounded CNN inspired outrage with its headline when it put the word ‘terrorists’ in quotations on its Facebook page.” CNN then “swiftly removed the tweet and issued an apology via Twitter on Thursday evening, calling their use of quotation marks around the word terrorist in their news headline ‘a mistake.'”
Our media outlets need letters, lots of them. They need to be called out for removing the word “terror” because of loudmouth leftists. It is terrorism, and Jihadist terrorism at that. Likewise, BBC also was scared off using the word terrorism. This media collusion is not only cowardice, it is succumbing to dhimmitude.
“CNN deletes tweet, apologizes for headline which questioned Tel Aviv terror attack”, By Hannah Broad, Jerusalem Post, June 9, 2016:
Following Wednesday night’s terror attack in Tel Aviv’s Sarona market that left four people dead and 16 wounded CNN inspired outrage with its headline when it put the word “terrorists” in quotations on its Facebook page.
Additionally, the news agency failed to mention terrorism even once in the article reporting the ordeal.
Similarly, the British news network SKY also neglected to use the word “terror” or “terrorism” in their report of the attack at Sarona.
The BBC’s headline “Tel Aviv shooting: Three killed in attack in shopping centre attack” was also markedly void of the keywords.
The Telegraph as well as the Guardian also labeled the terror attack as “shooting” incidences in their headlines.
CNN swiftly removed the tweet and issued an apology via Twitter on Thursday evening, calling their use of quotation marks around the word terrorist in their news headline “a mistake.”
“The attacks were, without question, terrorist attacks,” the news agency said in a press release.
A previous – now removed – tweet appeared to call into question the Tel Aviv attack as an act of terrorism. It undoubtedly was.
— CNN International (@cnni) June 9, 2016
In contrast to the dismay generated by the news agencies’ misrepresentation of the terror attack, Fox news anchor Greta Van Susteren personally came to Israel’s defense when she posted a video “off the record” on her private Facebook page.
In the video, Van Susteren shared her condolences with the “innocent Israeli victims” who were at Sarona market last night “just out on a nice summer eve in Tel Aviv.”…

First, if the CNN executives actually feel that they need to apologize for using the word “Terrorists” then they have a problem. That hideous jihad attack was an act of terrorism. CNN of other news agency should be shy about calling things as they actually are. It’s reality . Second, just the day before yesterday a brutal and murderous jihad terror attack in the city of Tel Aviv in the State of Israel was heinous act of Islamic terrorism. Be it by operatives of ISIS, Hezbollah, Hamas, or members of some other like-minded jihad entity. Even if those two jihad-mind Muslims were engaging in a “lone Wolf” jihad attack. All such deadly violent action is sanctioned in the “holy book’ of Islam the Koran. Which instructs in violence and killing for the cause of Islam. As found in, for example, 4: 89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. In other words the Koran inspires and causes such hideous violence. Furthermore, another role the Koran has in such deadly Islamic terror attacks in the Jewish nation of Israel is that the Koran contains many negative about the Jewish people. The reason that the Koran reads as it does have much to do with the history of the founder and prophet of Islam, who is Muhammad. This is for a specific time period of his life Muhammad lived among many Jewish people and he liked them at first. Later then they would not accept his claim of being of prophet, Muhammad then took is dislike to them that then turned into bitterness and even hate for them. So in the hate and bitterness he spoke many derogatory things about the as even referring to them as “apes and swine.” Such word of bitterness and hate, along with other thing he said, where written down on things and then later after his death those words were together together and then eventually, in time went in the composition of the Koran. Therefore, that why the Koran reads and in does about the Jewish people, as in calling them descendants of “apes and swine.” As seen in the Koran in 2:65; 7:166.; 5:60. Furthermore, as a Christian I can keyboard that there is a chance the Muhammad actually might had been a prophet but the important thing to understand is that Muhammad was NOT a prophet send by God. Instead, Muhammad was a deceptive, lying false prophet send by Satan to lead many people astray and even and straight into hell. Jesus, in fact, had predicted and warned of the coming of such men as Muhammad. For Jesus taught “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Matthew 7:15. In addition, the Bible further warns that “many false prophets are gone out into the world.” First John 4:1. [K.J.V.]

Even using the word ‘terror’ doesn’t cut it, for me.
The word Jihad has to be used. Letters to the news outlets must use, over and over, the word Jihad. If you mention this murder on social media – e.g. twitter, FB – or if it comes up in face-to-face conversation in the office or around the family BBQ, use the word Jihad. Refer to the murderers bluntly as “Muslim gunmen”; *do not* use the word ‘palestinian’. What matters is that they were MUSLIMS. They did the murder because they were Muslims who have been taught from birth to hate and despise Jews qua Jews, not just ‘Israelis’ but all Jews everywhere in the whole wide world. This was a *Muslim* murder of Jews, motivated at bottom by canonical Muslim Jew-hatred and the canonical Muslim desire for Total World Domination, a desire locally thwarted by those pesky non-Dhimmi Jews of Israel who stubbornly insist on exercising sovereignty and practising self-defence on Jewish traditional land…. land that the malignant narcissists of Islam desire to possess and control exclusively, just as they – the Muslims – in their megalomania desire to possess and control ALL lands everywhere in the world.
Letters of condolence to the Israeli embassies in our various countries must refer to this Muslim murder of Jews – a murder carried out as the great Jewish festival of Shavuot approaches – as “a Jihadi terror raid”.
Call things by their right names.
Jeff says
Agreed,
I get so frustrated to see so many people simply using the word “terrorist” and not citing islam as the source of muslim behavior. The teachings and sayings within the qur’an, hadith and sira are clear and should be apparent to everyone in regards to the atrocities carried out by muslims. Maybe one day people will realize the fantasy world they choose to live in is nothing more than delusion, embrace reality and start speaking the truth with conviction and not worrying about being labeled as a bigot, hater, islamaphobe or whatever else. islamic doctrine is what it is and we have over 1400 years of murder, torture, rape and slavery carried out by muslims in the name of their false prophet and satanic religion. islam is an offense to God and humanity, yet so many want to cater to those who would make slaves and corpses out of them. islam must be confronted and challenged on all levels by those of us who live, according to islamic teaching under “the house of war”.
Prayers for all who are subjected to and suffer from the horrors of this cult that worships death.

Something to cheer people up, just a little.
Australia’s Ambassador to Israel did not just send a letter of condolence or issue a condemnation of the murders.
He and the Aussie embassy staff marched down to the Sarona market and joined the Israelis in showing solidarity.

Again the subversive anti-Christian message of Islam is striking. The apostle Paul writes: “Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men.” In Islam it reads: knowing therefore the persuasion of Allah, we terrorize men.

Huge difference between meanings MUbarak. Can’t wait to be able to rattle off scripture like you guys can!

Linnte, Mubarak *sounds* plausibly Christian here, but he is *anything* but.
He has said that the West is decadent and so *deserves* Muslim violence. He has written here before lauding Muslim rape, and saying that if Christians are really Christians that we should invite in more Muslim rapists to atone for our sins.
He also has said that if the West were not so decadent that Muslims would not be attacking us–so Muslim violence is our fault. Never mind that Muslims are attacking Infidels all over the world.
He first showed up at Jihad Watch in the wake of the New Year’s Eve rapes of women in Cologne.
A really ugly stealth Jihadist.
He referred to me as an “enraged dog” for daring to call him on his applauding of Muslim savagery on this thread:

“Mubarak” means “blessed”–you will find Muslims wishing each other “Ramadan Mubarak”. Hosni Mubarak was also the name of the president of Egypt until the “Arab Spring”.
I don’t judge people by their names–I did not assume Mubarak was Muslim just because of his name. There are some Muslim apostates and some Arab Christians here who have Muslim or Muslim-sounding names.
But while Mubarak has implied he is non-Muslim, his agenda here has always pushed Muslim barbarism.
Stealth Jihadists like Mubarak tend to be even more dangerous than the overt ones like Rezali Mehil, sham, and Mazo.

Or Islamist terrorist. My personal favorite is radical violent extremist, which layers extremism atop extremism without ever identifying anybody, or anything. Moslem militant is better. But Moslem activist or Islamic activist is the most accurate.
linnte says

BC says
As has been explained the use of radical is inaccurate. A radical is one who wishes to change things. So radicals are almost non existent in Islam as Islam resists change and in fact wants to return to the fundamentals of Islam.
eduardo odraude says
They do indeed want to change things. They want to make sharia the law everywhere in the world, and to do so by force and violence if need be or if possible. It’s true that the change they want to bring will bring the end of change and quite static societies. The same was true of the communists. But to achieve their utopias, communists and jihadists first have to revolutionize much of the world. So “radical” has a certain validity. But better is “orthodox Muslim,” or maybe “imitator of Muhammad.” Or maybe “Muhammad copycat terrorist.”
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Allah and the Holy Prophet declared their participation in terror, so now it’s a thought crime to call a Jihad mass murder terrorist what he calls himself?
CNN has so much to apologize for, and I’m not just talking about its puny ratings. They were able to take down Mitt Romney at that debate four years ago, but he was a fall guy in the first place so that doesn’t count.
David, Thailand says
He may be a “Jihad mass murder terrorist” in your view, but to him as to Islam he is an innocent Jihadist killing terrorists for Allah.
If we could bring ourselves to note the subtle difference, Western civilisation might stand an outside chance at survival.
Dean says
Like so many college cupcakes, CNN has come to believe that the nasty Jews have been bullying their oppressed Arab neighbors for thousands of years and then doubled the oppression after they got organized by the Prophet. So, we need to understand, these are just resistance fighters like some of the French against their Nazi oppressors. CNN has been the voice of moral bankruptcy since its beginning so this is just the recent chapter.

When is the last time the Israeli Defense force rated homes and sometimes killed some people? Probably the last time brainwashed Islamic zealots fired 600 missiles over the course of seven months. You know in your heart that the Israelis would gladly allow each and every one of you to move and live anywhere in Israel or Palestine as you call it as you would like if you were trying to kill every single one of them. Just the fact that while Islam is G hotties with nothing but hate in their heart came over to Israel to kill innocent people men women and children have done nothing except were shopping on the nice evening day were not out killing Palestinians just enjoying themselves proves that you are brainwashed in an evil cult that teaches nothing but hate, murder, rape, sex slaves, and pedophilia these are all practices of the devil himself. If you want the Israelis to stop killing Palestinians once every few months or years even just stop trying to kill Israelis I know you have been brainwashed since your children but for God’s sake think for yourselves.

Jews are not right 100 % of the time but Muslims have an Islamic propensity to cause conflict and have no right to live anywhere in the ancient land of Israel. All they do is bring hate and animosity wherever they go. Just look at Europe or Syria.
“Ichmad” wishes to play the innocent victim but his supremacist genocidal intolerance shows what years of Islamic grievance mongering does.
Without others to blame Muslims are forced to stare into the bleak emptiness of Muhammad’s sociopathy.

linnte says
Robert Spencer has a whole book on it. I don’t have the book but I have listened to his different videos about it. Also, I watched another non related documentary about this issue, and the archaeologist deliberately set out to find any physical or written era evidence of Muhammad and he found non! I have bad short term memory so I don’t retain names at all! It’s bad and sad. Anyway. This archaeologist searched all written material done during the supposed time of Muhammad and the period of time between his supposed death till when the Qur’an was finally compiled about 150-200 years AFTER his death and he found absolutely no other cultures mention of Islam, Muhammad, or Muslim. Nor did he find physical evidence such as coins, pottery, or mosques. So the bottom line is, Arabs were a warrior band that grew to overtake countries and they needed a cohesive ideology for the overthrown people and Islam was that glue. Robert came to this same conclusion. I watched this unrelated video on Netflix. I will try to find it and get back to you with the title of it.

The vile Ichmad Abbas wrote:
I’m glad they didn’t say Zonist Terrorists – you know, the ones who kill innocent Palestinians in their homes?
……………………………….
When Mohammedans condemn “terrorism”, this is often what they mean–that they have no problems with Muslims murdering unarmed people, but that they regard any *defense* against Jihad as “terrorism”.
Another point: under Islam it is *only* and always Muslims who are “innocent”–Infidels are regarded as not innocent simply because they are not Muslims.
Clearly, he has no trouble with his coreligionists massacring Infidels–especially Jews.
More:
All of you JWatchers are ass-licking Jew Lovers who deserve to have your heads on pikes.
……………………………….
And, as is so common, this Muslim ends with a threat.
Note what he is saying–that anyone who dares oppose the horror of Muslim violence deserves to suffer Muslim violence.

By the way, “Ichmad” and “Abbas” are the names of two Muslim “Palestinian” brothers in a well-known novel “The Almond Tree”, where the first is non-violent and the other is a Jihad terrorist.

CNN did not apologize for using the word terror, folks. Read it again. CNN apologized for using quotation marks around the word terror. CNN’s apology thus admits the attack was indeed terror, and that they were wrong to suggest, by the use of quotation marks, that there was any doubt about it. The question is, who at CNN put the word in quotation marks? Was it a dumb journalist? A leftie journalist? A Muslim journalist? Or all three in one?
