CNNs Chief International Anchor Christiane Amanpour identified Haifa in northern Israel as being located in the 'West Bank,' the Jordanian name for Judea and Samaria, in introducing a Palestinian Arab human rights lawyer.
Amanpour made the gaffe on Wednesday during her global affairs interview program on CNN. She introduced human rights lawyer Diana Buttu to respond to an interview with Israels Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon, who discussed the as yet unveiled United States peace plan.
Diana Buttu is a human rights lawyer and she joins me from Haifa, on the West Bank, Amanpour said.
In a segment of the interview posted on the CNN website, the introduction is left off.
The clip of the introduction was tweeted by Hillel Neuer, executive director of the NGO UN Watch. He said in his tweet that Haifa is not on the West Bank. Its in Israel. Where Jews & Arabs live together in harmony.
Haifa, located in northern Israel, is the third largest city in Israel...

“Sadly, she skipped attendance on the days that the First Amendment was discussed as it relates to the rights of the people to freely exercise free speech.”
Wiki used these words? Maybe they think she’s to the right of William Kunstler.

Christiana has a secret identity and a package as well? I’m not taking that bet.

Yes, I copied that from the Wiki site. My first thought was that it was inserted by a troll. But considering the subject, it might well be true.

It is true, but that Wiki said it means that it’s really really really undeniable and obvious.

There is no such people as a Palestinian. There was no such nation nor region until the UN divided the formerly English territory into Trans-Jordan, then Jordan proper, then Israel, and then Palestine, a made up name for Jordanians, Syrians, Lebanonese, Egyptians and other surrounding Arab migrants. The UN bastardized the ancient name of Philistine into Palestine.
I always ask, why it is that so many Arab nations with so much expanse have never offered the "palis" their own small territory. Of course we know that those Arab countries think little of "palis" and don't want them in their sovereign nations to cause problems.
Long live Israel in peace! A nation/people who have our same values and ideals of liberty and prosperity. Screw the socialists secular jews here in the US. They are an embarrassment to the Jewish supporters of Israel. Disclaimer: I'm agnostic.

CNN should move to the West Bank.
To: Eleutheria5
Well she got it “half” right because Haifa is on the “western bank” of the Jordan River if you consider all the land between the Jordan and the Mediterranean the “west” bank of the river.
Let’s nickname her “Half Deck Full Amanpour”. She’s earned it.

To have an anti- American news anchor is what CNN is all about. Its deplorable, sickening really, and we never watch CNN because of this
