THE NEW YORK TIMES BACKS A FRIEND OF ISRAEL...AT LEAST IF HE'S NOT TOO FRIENDLY
Amazon-Connect Blog of John W. Cassell ^ | 19 June 2008 | John W. Cassell

"All the news that's fit to print." Remember that slogan? It used to...most likely still does...grace the masthead of the New York Times.

Little did fools like me suspect that the word "all" wasn't to be the universe, modified only by "fitness" [as in decency, respect for victims, etc.] ...no...no....NO! It turns out the word "Fit" is the universe...as in propaganda...political correctness...yes, even cultural suicide, the word "all" simply describes what's "fit"...not "news".

Take one of the more recent examples. In "Paper Cuts", the Times' book blog, Alan Dershowitz'new "novel" [you'll pardon me if I've already forgotten its title] is given a world class hawking. Alan Dershowitz is a friend of Israel, right? The book is about Israel, right?

Uh...huh. Well, the article is couched in the form of questions to Wise Old Mr. D. So I thought I'd ask a few. I asked him if his book was as hard hitting as Jack Engelhard's paperback The Bathsheba Deadline: An Original Novel ? I asked him if, like BATHSHEBA does on every page, his novel recognizes that Israel is approaching its Eleventh Hour? Does it clearly and courageously set forth the agenda these jihadists have for both Israel and the so-called Christian world?

Guess what? The BOOK BLOG wouldn't print it! They DID however print questions and comments like "what do you do to discourage [writer] wannabees?" "ask him what he drinks?" and my favorite: "I've had a crush on you since the Simpson trial."

Thinking it must have been a mistake, I tried again. The one decent comment out of the five printed mentioned the concept of ignorance. I decided to play off of that:

"What is ignorant is not recognizing that Israel is approaching its Eleventh Hour, as one by one the so-called Christian nations cower in the face of murder and hooliganism. I suppose I will be censored again,but the book I hope Mr. Dershowitz's measures up to is the BATHSHEBA DEADLINE....written by another American, Jack Engelhard. He also has written for the Jerusalem Post and, like me, ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS. He is also a veteran of the Israeli Defense Forces. Mr. Dershowitz enjoys the ear of the TIMES. I only hope he takes advantage of that ear to point out some of the vicious truths awaiting both America and Israel...truths on every page of BATHSHEBA DEADLINE. It's available in paperback so there is no excuse for anyone not to see it. If you are a friend of Israel I congratulate you, Mr. Dershowitz. I only hope your book is as good. Time is running out..."

Well, they didn't print that one either. Because his book isn't as good. You see Wise Old Mr. D. advocates the bogus "Two State Solution" which means Israel must give up security zones it took to prevent constant attacks being launched upon it. "Jews should be able to live anywhere," advocates Wise Old Mr. D., just so "anywhere" is no bigger than the few square miles of Israel MINUS her security zones taken in response to Arab genocidal attacks in the past.

All the news that's fit to print? That DOESN'T include standing up for Israel...as her Darkest Hour comes ever closer.

John W. Cassell has written seven novels on America's Cultural Revolution of the late 1960's-early 1970's, including Soldier of Aquarius: 1969-1970 . Since his 2006 retirement from a career in law enforcement that spanned from 1971, he has published four guest editorials in ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS and is a frequent contributor to the Amazon-Connect blog.

Personally, I’d say the eleventh hour has come and gone for Israel and America. Only G!d will end the carnage but a lot more blood and hatred must be overcome first. Anti-Semitism will reach horrible new heights exponentially in the next few years. This alleged armistice with Hamas must mean there’s a Russian arms shipment due,NK??, or maybe Iran via Syria? Peace in Israel is such a fleeting hope.
