Media Silent On Abuse of Jewish Rights

MEDIA SILENT, AS JEWISH RIGHTS ABUSED 14865 - Shulman

HOW MEDIA SPIN DISTORTS A STORY

The initial story was that six Muslim clerics publicly prayed before
boarding an airplane in Minneapolis, from which they were removed
before the flight. They were unarmed and not part of a terrorist
plot. American prejudice against Muslims. The imams are suing US
Airways.

Now come additional facts that put matters in a different light. One
of the imams prayed uncharacteristically loudly, as if to draw
attention to himself and his faith. When the six boarded, they
requested different seats -- a pair at the front, another pair in the
middle, and the last two in the rear, as if to control all exits. Why
else would the group separate?

Three of average build asked for seatbelt extenders, and slipped them
under their seats, instead of using them. Seatbelt extenders have
heavy metal buckles, not suitable for cushions but useful as weapons.
Apparently they were performing to arouse suspicion, be expelled, and
have a basis for lawsuit. One of the imams who seemed to be
reenacting 9/11 duly complained he was treated as criminal. He must
hope to profit from the American reflex against discrimination and to
propagandize against US self-defense, (John McWhorter, NY Sun, 3/15,
Op.-Ed.).

ABUSE OF JEWISH RIGHTS; MEDIA SILENT

The federal government indicted two Americans for talking to a
newspaper reporter about publicly known information that happened also
to be classified. This is an unprecedented crackdown, for no public
benefit, on what hardly is a crime, but the government is treating it
as espionage. The prosecutor wants to keep the evidence secret from
the public. Secret trials usually outrage the ACLU and the like.

Not this time. Those usually voluble groups, which devote bountiful
resources to the rights of enemy combatants, are not following this
case. Could that be because this case involves officials of AIPAC,
the Israel lobby, not enemies of our country? (NY Sun, 3/15, Ed..)
Is that why the crackdown?

HOLOCAUST DENIAL

During the Holocaust, denial was the mode. Although reporters
witnessed Nazi "round-up of Jews, the railroad lines of cattle cars,
the work camps, the death camps, the gas chambers and the crematoria,"
the major media, such as the NY Times and Chicago Tribune buried that
news on the back pages as unconfirmed" (Winston Mid East Analysis,
3/6).

Calling it "unconfirmed" is unconscionable!
