BBC CAUGHT IN REPEATED FALSE REPORTING 15671 - Shulman
DEMOCRACY'S DISADVANTAGE
Israel has a life-and-death struggle over foreign policy and critical
domestic issues. Instead of giving those issues full attention,
Israeli politicians use their government to distribute revenues for
the support of interest groups. "The Olmert team would rather stay in
power for an extra month than entertain
action for the Jewish State's survival for years to come." They don't
want to think about the real issues (IMRA, 3/8).
It is not just a lust for power and the concomitant power. It's also
Olmert's means of evading imprisonment for corruption. It's not just
that. Olmert and his associates are post-Zionists. They don't care
about Jewish rights, duties, people, and state, and they lack
scruples.
The use of government to maintain political power is galloping along
in the US presidential election, too. Although faced with large
deficits, New York State politicians want greatly to increase instead
of to decrease spending.
REACTIONS TO MURDER OF 8 YESHIVA STUDENTS
The P.A. daily accorded the murderer its highest accolade, that of
martyr (IMRA, 3/9). The family of the slain murderer wanted to
celebrate in Jordan and in Jerusalem, as a "brave" martyrdom, their
relative's shooting unarmed students, during which he eventually got
slain. They set up a tent from which they raised banners of Hamas and
Hizbullah.
Authorities in Jordan took down banners and tent. No recognition or
advocacy of of terrorist organizations there. Israeli authorities let
the enemy banners wave for days, until protests prompted them to
follow Jordan's example (IMRA, 3/6).
The Israeli government prides itself on decency, but how decent was it
to let enemy banners rise in its capital to celebrate the murder of
innocent Israelis? That is the shame of appeasement. It also is
further indication that the regime is maneuvering to get at least that
part of its capital into enemy hands.
SECOND BBC APOLOGY FOR FALSE REPORTING
The first time, it had taken a UNO statement out of context, so Israel
would seem specifically to have attacked civilians. The current
apology came after CAMERA caught BBC falsely claiming that right after
the Jerusalem Arab murdered eight yeshiva students, Israel bulldozed
his house. Israel didn't. The BBC used an eight-year-old photo of
some other house being bulldozed (Arutz-7, 3/24). Israel's Security
Min. suggests deporting the families of terrorists (Arutz-7, 3/9) who
celebrate the terrorism. BBC no longer deserves its reputation.
