CAMERA’s Eye on the Media

Happening NowWishin I Could Cry  The other night I went to a presentation given by CAMERA, the foremost organization monitoring how the media presents the Israeli-“Palestinian”conflict to the American public. It was held at a Boca Raton synagogue so I expected a lot of people and was afraid I wouldn’t gain entry because I hadn’t preregistered. No problem. There were plenty of seats.

Although the hall eventually filled up, I only saw one person under 50. It’s a shame because we received a lot of important information, including a free copy of its published study “Indicting Israel” an empirical examination of how differently the New York Times treats Israel and faux Palestine. The outcome was that Israel was criticized more than two and a half times more than their neighbors. Since The New York Times is considered “the newspaper of record” international media choose their coverage and attitudes based on what is printed in this American Pravda. It’s not like the New York Times doesn’t have a history of ignoring antisemitism and totalitarianism. Its bias and prejudice towards thugs and barbarians has been so obvious, its theme song could be ‘Anything Goes.”- by any enemy of Israel. The evidence is laid out professionally based on more than almost three hundred articles related to the Israeli-“Palestinian” conflict.

I think the worst thing for me to hear was that so many of the writers and editors are, and were in the past, Jews. It’s time that their voices shilling their socialist propaganda be silenced. Purposeful or not, they sell their own people to the highest bidder time and time again. Like the Torah teaches- “in every generation.” It’s time for a new meme and courageous organizations like CAMERA are leading the way by giving bloggers and grassroot organizations ammunition in their fight for Truth. Torah admonishes us to stay far away from falsehoods. Emet, or truth, is one of the eternal values we are taught. CAMERA is focusing on the truth and by doing so is doing the heroic job of the righteous.

If Not Now

“The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant, and so devastating that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored because it cannot survive their being repeated.”

Many non-Jews and sadly, even Jews, believe that the Chanukah miracle is all about oil that lasted eight days. This is the children’s version. Actually, the miracle is more magnificent and decidedly more difficult. It’s about a small group of Jews who stood for their covenant with God against the strongest army in the world. Of course, they also had to fight against their fellow Jews who stood with the enemy. Sound familiar?

We are reaching, or have reached, a point of no return because of the wholesale corruption of our government and society. We have a government that has covered up the massacre at Benghazi which killed Ambassador Chris Stevens, Greg Doherty, Tyrone Woods, and Sean Smith. Before that, we listened to the same chorus lie about the murders of border agent Brian Terry and between 200-300 Mexican citizens on our southern borders. We have a government that pressures Israel to measure their defensive blows, but makes excuses for the destructive wickedness and cold blooded murders of babies and children of their new BFF the Muslim Brotherhood.

If we continue on this path of moral ambiguity we are on a path that we have already tried and it is a very ugly one. Since people aren’t taught history anymore they probably don’t know that many Nazis escaped to the Middle East. Even those that do know something of WWII forget that Rommel was stationed in North Africa. After the surrender, Odessa, an underground network, helped many of the Nazi officers escape to Egypt and Syria to name only two.

“Jeffrey Herf, a professor of history at the University of Maryland, has written an eye-opening book about the effectiveness of Nazi ideas in the Middle East during the Second World War called, “Nazi Propaganda For The Arab World.” In it, he describes the Nazi campaign for the minds and hearts of the Arab world in great detail—particularly the Axis radio programs that ran in Arabic around the clock from late 1939 until March of 1945.

These broadcasts spewed venomous anti-Semitism and pushed every demagogic button imaginable. They were also highly effective. In fact, long after the last vestige of Nazi rhetoric faded from consciousness in Europe, the poisonous seeds planted back then are still bearing deadly fruit.” HT http://playwrighter.blogspot.com/2011/05/hitler-and-arabs-nazis-in-middle-east.html

Americans have to remember that the Nazis not only killed Jews, but anyone who stood for their own religion or beliefs of conscience. And, just because we’re such a forgetful and under educated society lets remember that Nazi is the acronym for National SOCIALISTS. The plan was a one world government without Jews. The war never ended.
