Bias Alert: BBC Omits ‘Jews’ From Ancient History of Israel
by Shifra on November 13, 2017The BBC’s anti-Israel bias has a long history. Their distorted headlines and stories have been well-documented. When it comes to Israel, they are first-class purveyors of distorted news. Here is a classic example of their passive-aggressive attempts to slant their coverage to erase Jewish claims to the land of Israel: Via Honest Reporting. An initially positive feature on the BBC Travel website focuses on the Israel city of Caesarea, specifically the discovery of 2,000 gold coins on the ocean floor, the largest stash ever found in the region. The author of the piece covers Caesarea’s fascinating ancient history, referring to Phoenicians and Greeks and eventually the Romans: ….And who were the “native people” who revolted against Roman rule between 66...

Dershowitz: Valerie Plame Has Spewed Anti-Semitic Garbage Since 2014
by Shifra on September 25, 2017Well, well. So ex-CIA desk rat, er, “agent,” Valerie Plame has been retweeting vicious anti-Semitic articles for the past three years? Didn’t she “apologize” last week? “OK folks, look, I messed up. I skimmed this piece, zeroed in on the neocon criticism, and shared it without seeing and considering the rest,” Wilson tweeted. “I missed gross undercurrents to this article & didn’t do my homework on the platform this piece came from. Now that I see it, it’s obvious.” So, she’s a Jew-hater and a liar? Who knew? And, it is especially ironic that Lewis “Scooter” Libby, who is Jewish, was given a thirty-month sentence, for falsely being accused of “outing” Plame as a CIA agent. Via Washington Examiner. Valerie...

Flashback: Obama Denies Paris Kosher Market Massacre Anti-Semitic, Calls it ‘Random Shooting’
by Shifra on August 20, 2017Too many in the MSM and Trump-haters are now “foaming at the mouth” over President Trump’s remarks about Charlottesville. But where were they when four Jewish men were massacred at the Hyper Cacher Supermarket in Paris in 2015, and Barack Hussein Obama referred to “a random attack” on “just a bunch of folks in a deli” ? Kudos to John Podhoretz for having called Obama out: Via NY Post. At Tuesday’s press briefing, White House mouthpiece Josh Earnest said something disgusting — I don’t know how else to describe it — about the massacre at the Hyper Casher kosher supermarket in Paris one month ago. “The individuals who were killed in that terrible, tragic incident,” Earnest droned, “were killed not...

Bibi vs. BBC: News Outlet ‘Regrets’ Misleading Jerusalem Stabbing Headline
by Shifra on June 18, 2017On Friday, a twenty three-year old Israeli border policewoman was killed by a terrorist in Jerusalem. And, true to form, the BBC managed, in the space of one headline, to transform the vicious Arab attackers into victims. But PM Netanyahu called out the BBC for their bias, and the headline was changed. The BBC has also issued an apology. Via Times of Israel. The BBC on Sunday apologized for a headline it published when reporting on a Palestinian terror attack in Jerusalem on Friday, admitting that its focus on the three slain assailants, rather than the Israeli victim, was inappropriate. “We accept that our original headline did not appropriately reflect the nature of the events and subsequently changed it,” BBC...

Lebanon Bans the New Wonder Woman Movie
by Tammy on May 31, 2017Ridiculous, but highlights the Israeli and Jew-hating madness that engulfs that region. Via AP. A Lebanese security official says authorities have banned the new “Wonder Woman” movie following a campaign against its lead actress, who served in the Israeli army. Lebanon is officially at war with Israel. The ban is in accordance with a decades-old law that boycotts Israeli products and bars Lebanese citizens from traveling to Israel or having contacts with Israelis. The official says the ban issued by the minister of interior Wednesday has been relayed to the distribution company. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the decision has not yet been published. It is not clear if a planned premiere later Wednesday in Beirut will...

Anti-Israel BDS Urges Audience: Give *Zero* Points to Israel at Eurovision Contest
by Shifra on May 12, 2017This Saturday night, the annual international TV song competition Eurovision will hold its event, this year in Kiev. (Ukraine won last year, and the winner hosts the next year’s event.) To the competing countries, this is A. Very. Big. Deal: This is the Super Bowl of song competitions. Israel won, in 1978 and 1979. In 1978, when it became clear that Israel would win, the broadcasting company of Jordan stopped the live broadcast, claiming they had “technical difficulties.” A day later they presented the song from Belgium – which came in second, as the winning song. This year’s entry from Israel is “I Feel Alive.” It’s sung in English, and has a catchy Mediterranean pop beat. But the BDS (Boycott,...

Misleading Headlines: Anti-Israel Bias in Reporting Stabbing Attacks
by Shifra on April 6, 2017In several stabbing attacks by Arabs against Jews last week in Israel, the Daily Beast somehow referred to the stabbing victims as “allegedly stabbed.” And here is their headline of one of the incidents: Israeli Police Kill Palestinian After Stabbing So, the police killed the Palestinian after they stabbed him? And this “winner” from Al Jazeera: Via Weasel Zippers: Oops. Looks like Al Jazeera “forgot’ to include the charming pic of the stabber:

Video: Rick Santorum Calls Out CNN For Phony ‘Anti-Semitism’ Attack on Trump
by Shifra on February 22, 2017Remember when Obama strongly condemned the vicious “knockout” attacks on Jews in Brooklyn? And remember how concerned he was about the rising incidents of attacks on Jewish students on U.S. college campuses? Yeah, neither do I. And you know what else I don’t remember? I can’t recall any Libs criticizing Obama for his silence on the knockout attacks, or on any other attacks on Jews during the last eight years. But now, in their daily drumbeat of attacks against President Trump and his family, Lefties are suddenly pretending to care about the recent spate of bomb threats targeting Jewish centers. So, kudos to Rick Santorum for calling out Very Fake News CNN for their very fake sudden outrage. Via aol.com...

Netanyahu Uses ’08 Campaign Photo of Obama to Call Him Out on FB
by Shifra on December 29, 2016Back in ’08, Candidate Obama went to Israel, to pander for Jewish votes, er, to gain a better understanding of the Middle East. And he visited the Western Wall. It is traditional for visitors to place notes with private prayers in the wall’s crevices. Obama’s note was published in an Israeli newspaper, and a firestorm ensued, as it was condemned as a violation of his privacy and a “sacrilegious action.” And then it was revealed that it was a publicity stunt; the note had been leaked by Obama’s campaign. So, even before he was elected POTUS, he was a pain in the a.. piece of work…well, whatever… Via Washington Examiner. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took a jab at President...

Kerry: U.S. Abstention on U.N. Vote Reflected ‘Our Values’
by Shifra on December 28, 2016Really? “Our” values? Would that include lying about US involvement in the UN censure? Giving Christians’ holiest sites to the Muslims? Treating an ally like an enemy? Handing over billions in cold cash to the world’s biggest sponsor of terror? Just checking… Via USA Today. Secretary of State John Kerry on Wednesday defended a U.S. decision to abstain on a United Nations vote condemning Israeli settlements on land also claimed by Palestinians, saying it was ‘in accordance with our values.”…. The Obama administration broke with long-standing U.S. tradition when it decided not to veto the U.N. Security Council resolution, which condemned Israeli settlements on land claimed by Palestinians for an independent state. The resolution also condemned Palestinian attacks on Israelis....

‘Go Choke on a Latke’; Twitter Responds to John Kerry’s Chanukah Greeting
by Shifra on December 26, 2016John Kerry tweeted the Jewish community a Happy Chanukah, adding the Hebrew “Chag Sameach” (“Happy Holiday”) in what he thought would be a nice touch. This, after the U.S. abstained from voting in the UN, allowing the United Nations Security Council to adopt a resolution that condemned what they called “illegal Israeli settlement construction,” which in reality is building construction on Jewish land. And, after Kerry had the nerve to say that Israel construction on the West Bank is “spawning terrorism.” So, people were less than appreciative of his phony “good wishes:” HT Algemeiner. Happy #Hanukkah! May the lights of the menorah brighten your home and the year ahead. From my family to yours, Chag Sameach. — John Kerry (@JohnKerry)...

Ex-Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga) Claims Israel Behind European Terrorism
by Shifra on July 25, 2016It is a national disgrace that this vicious Jew-hating bigot had once been a member of the U.S. Congress. Via Times of Israel: Former US congresswoman claimed on Twitter that an Israeli photographer had been on hand for massacres in Nice and Munich, proving that Israel had a hand in both attacks. Cynthia McKinney, a Democrat and former member of the US House of Representatives from Georgia, posted a video on Twitter with the message: “Same Israeli photographer captures Nice and Munich tragedies. How likely is that? Remember the Dancing Israelis?…” The video claimed that Richard Gutjahr, a German journalist married to former Israeli Knesset member Einat Wilf, had been present for both a rampage by a truck driver in...
