Israel Behind the News

The agenda to "get" Israel is not necessarily run by anti-Semites, Arabs, or John Birchers. Sometimes, the agenda drivers live in Tel Aviv. Some of you may have seen a recent exhortation by the liberal Ha'aretz editor that he had a "wet dream" that the United States would "rape" Israel in the aftermath of the Annapolis conference. The statement is offensive on so many levels that is beyond the mission of this blog to address or analyze.

The key point of this coverage is that the liberal agenda, in this case, of the MSM, in this case in Israel, prevents Israelis from getting accurate information about their government. The United States and Israel have decided that a peace process must exist, so they have a puppet government, with no real power, in the form of Abu Mazen, or Mohammed Abbas. The real power, Hamas, still is sworn to destroy Israel. As a result, coverage is tilted to prevent accurate information about Abu Mazen's role, his two-facedness,and his support for terror from coming to light.

The issue is not who owns the land, or what the contours of a peace settlement ought to be, but the lack of truth of the reporting that is driven to support a narrow agenda. Of the many sites devoted to the Middle East, one stands out: David Bedein's Israel Behind the News. Bedein is a reporter who writes what is said, not what is supposed to be the party line.
