Another Outrageous Reuters Caption

A student stands behind a podium as a video of Hezbollah’s Leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah plays during a pro-Palestinian meeting at a cultural centre in Tehran March 9, 2008. Students agreed on a one-million dollar reward for the murder of three Israeli commanders, Ehud Barak, Amos Yadlin and Meir Dagan. REUTERS/Morteza Nikoubazl (IRAN)

A “pro-Palestinian” meeting?

Let’s see what we know about this meeting:

1) The video being shown is of Hassan Nasrallah, a Lebanese-born terrorist who has never been in Israel or Palestine in his life. His goal, nonetheless, is the destruction of Israel – not the building of a Palestinian Arab state.

2) At this meeting, students agreed it would be a good idea to murder three Israelis. Not to help Palestinian Arabs, but to murder Israelis.

3) On the podium it helpfully says “Israel must be wiped off the map.”

So, is this a “pro-Palestinian” meeting – or an anti-Israel meeting? Is anything being discussed that would help the Palestinian Arabs’ lives – any fund raising for medical equipment for Gaza, for example? Apparently not.

So if Reuters is labeling this a “pro-Palestinian meeting” that means that Reuters does not distinguish between “pro-Palestinian” and “anti-Zionist.”

Reuters apparently does not believe in a peace process that would result in a Palestinian Arab and Zionist state side-by-side, and it believes that the mainstream of “pro-Palestinian” opinion is similar to the sentiments being displayed here in Iran.

So either Reuters does not believe that the “peace process” is “pro-Palestinian,” – or they believe that even the “moderate” Palestinian Arabs view the “peace process” as being an anti-Israel movement, with the same goals as shown here.

Which is it?

    Why isn’t the simplest (therefore likeliest) explanation this:

    Far as al-Reuters is concerned, to be anti-Israel is to be pro-Palestinian.

    It was a Palestinian that gunned down Bobby Kennedy.
    There are none-zero-nada Palestinians, that have been awarded a “Noble Peace” award.
    Why?
    And how many Hebrews have had the honor of a Nobel Peace Prize?
    Don’t guess.
    The record is suppressed by Reuters.
    But it is public record.

    “Israel must be wiped off the map.”

    Surely that’s a mistranslation of the English writing on the desk?

    You have to be registered at ummah.com forum to see the Current Events section where the following is posted but this is the gist of it. The cartoons are horrendous.

    “Brazilian cartoonist Carlos Latuff creates artworks that call on the world to condemn Israeli holocaust of Gaza

    03/03/08 Carlos Latuff’s statement:

    I’d like to beg all viewers to spread this image anywhere, as a way to expose Israeli war crimes against Palestinians. Use it on t-shirts, posters, banners. Reproduce it in zines, papers, magazines, and make it visible everywhere. Here is the high-resolution version for printing purposes: http://latuff2.deviantart.com/

    Thank you in the name of every suffering Palestinian.

    Jeffery you forgot the Peace Prize for Arafat. http://almaz.com/nobel/peace/1994a.html. The world is showing more and more that they support the destruction of Israel.
    The bottom line is Palestine Leadership diverts money to help the Palestine people to buy weapons. Like everything else support for evil is more acceptable and ignoring that the Arabs cause their own problems. It is not the Jewish People that are to blame for all the ills in the Middle East. THey are the scap goats for the corrupt governments to keep power. Blame the jews not us for things falling apart.

  6. Captain_Lewis says:

    Case closed. Your post proves the point perfectly.

  7. Jeffrey Nihart says:

    David is correct.
    There was a dwarf of a man born in Cairo named Mohammed Abdel Rahman Abdel Raouf Arafat al-Qudwa al-Husseini.
    Since Arafat was raised in Cairo, the tradition of dropping the Mohammed or Ahmad portion of one’s first name was common.
    During the early 1950s, Arafat adopted the name Yasser, and in the early years of Arafat’s guerrilla career, he assumed the nom de guerre of Abu Ammar.

    Odd that a terrorist that no country wanted, had to go to the UN with a gun, to try to steal one for his backwards cult of death.

    There Is No “Palestine”
    And There Are No “Palestinians”

  8. Danny Brothers says:

    The post really says it perfectly, namely that there is a major disconnect between the Arab world and the Arabs living in Gaza/West Bank. They don’t want to raise money, they don’t want to send supplies, they don’t want to HELP their people. They are bloodthirsty and only want to destroy the enemy.

    Compare this to Israel’s history, whereby Jews across the world gave truckloads of money and supplies to get the state on its feet — and that support continues today!
