Tell you what: I won’t use Al Jazeera as a source if you won’t use Jerusalem Post.

How do you distinguish between people and sources like me who decry the actions of the Israeli government and people who simply hate Jews. It appears to me that, to you, there’s no difference.

Look what the BBC does. It does not surprise me one iota. Have read and hears all about their celebration of Jew hating. It is either an explicit or a silent conspiracy from the lefties all over the world. I see how CNN and MSNBC frames all of the issues concerning Israel and Gaza. Jew hate sells big time.

Yes Enco,

I am serious. Not as presently constituted obviously. That would require programming. And programming means human biases. The next generation of Gazans could easily become model citizens.
