I am soooo sick of the NYT and their fellow travelers who incessantly target Israel for critism.
I wonder what it will take? A direct attack by the Islamofascist, when they feel the time is right to bring the MSM to heel.
I wonder if they think bowing to the Islamofascist will somehow protect them from their rath. Boy are they in for a surprise.
I can’t say what the NY Times’ problem was, because they had that problem in 1948 and 1967 as well. They have always been down on Israel, perhaps because as wealthy, high-brow assimilated Jews, they feel threatened by a rebirth of Jewish nationalism.
As for the rest of MSM, the Jewish state was very much in fashion when it was sending semi-skilled pilots up in rickety second-hand planes, armed with hand-held submachine guns and seltzer bottles, trying to fight Arab pilots in second-hand Messerschmidts and other relics of WW II, because then the Jews were the underdog. Now, however, the Jews have nice, computer-age F-16s and heat-seaking missiles, flown by top-notch combat pilots who know exactly what they are about, as well as tanks, state-of-the-art automatic weapons, night-vision goggles, and other goodies. The Arabs, by contrast, have the second-hand AKs, the knives, the rocks, and the suicide vests, so now they’re the underdogs.
It never occurs to the MSM, however, that instead of bravely fighting the better-armed and better-trained Israeli soldiers, they are instead murdering babies in their sleep. The Irgun would warn civilians to stay away from areas where they would be fighting the British imperial troops, circulating notices in English, Hebrew and Arabic. The Arabs, however, seek out civilians while the Israeli Defense Forces are elsewhere, perhaps bulldozing “settlers’” unauthorized shacks and caravans. We “settlers” are the true underdogs, with no NGOs to look out for our rights. But like the Irgun before us, we are vilified in the MSM. If only we would go up in a biplane with a seltzer bottle and an M1, maybe they’d think differently.
