"MEDIA FAILS AT HEBREW UNIVERSITY"

* * *

The civilized world is shocked at the latest Palestinian bombing, this
time defiling the sanctity of an academic campus -- one in which Jewish,
Arab and foreign students mixed freely.

The media has distorted the events of Wednesday's Hebrew University
bombing in 4 significant ways. Please monitor your local media and call
their attention to the following points.


=== DISTORTION #1 ===

The media reported the attack as a response to Israel's killing of Hamas
leader Salah Shehadeh in Gaza.

Knight-Ridder correspondent Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson leads off by writing:
"Palestinians seeking revenge for a recent Israeli airstrike on the Gaza
Strip detonated a bomb Wednesday in a crowded cafeteria at Hebrew
University..."
http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/3773618.htm

It is spurious to categorize this attack as a response, when Hamas was
already planning attacks anyway. According to Israeli Defense Minister
Benjamin Ben-Eliezer, Shehadeh was planning six simultaneous terror
attacks in six different Israeli cities, including mega-attacks intended
to kill hundreds of Israelis. The LA Times reports that Israel's top
internal security official believed that at least 60 terror attacks were
already being planned.
http://honestreporting.com/a/r/269.asp

Some media even parroted the propagandist claim that Hamas was on the
brink of a cease-fire. This argument is preposterous, considering that
Hamas has waged a ceaseless campaign of terror against Israeli civilians,
claiming credit for at least 28 major bombing attacks against Israeli
civilians since the Oslo Accords were signed in 1993.
http://www.mfa.gov.il/mfa/go.asp?MFAH0i5d0


=== DISTORTION #2 ===

The media presents the Hebrew U attack as an appropriate retaliation, a
tit-for-tat for the deaths of civilians in Shehadeh's apartment building.

However, the media fails to note one crucial difference: Israel was
targeting a terrorist mastermind, with the civilians' deaths regrettable
collateral damage. By contrast, in the Hebrew U attack, Palestinians were
intentionally targeting civilians.

This key point is omitted in a Reuters report, which fails to mention of
why Israel attacked "a crowded area of Gaza City," implying that Israel is
no better than Palestinian bombers:

"Palestinian militants have vowed to avenge an Israeli missile strike on a
crowded area of Gaza City last week that sparked strong international
condemnation..."
http://honestreporting.com/a/r/264.asp

We ask: Would the media consider it an appropriate retaliation for Israel
to now go massacre Palestinian university students? Of course not. As the
UK Independent put it:

"Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, Hamas' spiritual leader, said: 'When Israel bombs a
civilian building full of women and children, and kills 15 people, this is
the response they should expect.' It was a response that quickly eroded
the international sympathy for the Palestinians prompted by the Gaza air
strike. 'Why is somebody targeting students sitting down to their
lunch?'..."
http://honestreporting.com/a/r/265.asp


=== DISTORTION #3 ===

The media failed to report the mass celebrations in Gaza following the
Hebrew U attack. An estimated 10,000 Palestinian men, women and children
celebrated in the streets with clapping, singing and distributing sweets
-- while carrying pictures of Hamas spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin,
and calling for more suicide bombings.

This is in sharp contrast to the Israeli soul-searching and regret
following the deaths of civilians in the Shehadeh strike.

Amazingly, mention of the Gaza rally and celebrations was totally omitted
by many major news agencies, including:

- The New York Times
http://honestreporting.com/a/r/266.asp

- The Washington Post
http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/art...2002Jul31.html

- BBC
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2163677.stm

Associated Press notes the rally, but doesn't mention any celebrations.
http://honestreporting.com/a/r/267.asp

This mysterious omission calls to mind September 11, when Palestinians in
Beirut, Nablus and Jerusalem exploded in street celebrations -- rejoicing,
dancing and handing out candies.

Then, to prevent the world from seeing these incriminating images, armed
Palestinians (some in PA uniform) detained foreign journalists and
confiscated videotape, film and other camera equipment -- while
festivities continued in the streets. Journalists were threatened with
their life if the footage was broadcast. The scene was repeated three days
later, when 1,500 Palestinians demonstrated in Gaza by waving posters of
Osama bin Laden.

Were this week's Gaza celebrations subject to similar forms of
intimidation? Or perhaps journalists are practicing a form of
self-censorship, knowing the consequence of portraying Palestinians in an
unfavorable light.


=== DISTORTION #4 ===

The media subtly implies some justification for the attack by suggesting
that Hebrew University is located on disputed land.

For example, the Washington Post map places the university clearly in the
West Bank:
http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/art...2002Jul31.html

Reuters reports that "The bomb exploded in the cafeteria in the Frank
Sinatra International Students Center, on the university's Mount Scopus
campus near Arab East Jerusalem."
http://honestreporting.com/a/r/268.asp

In truth, Hebrew University's Mt. Scopus campus was inaugurated in 1925,
and was located on Jewish land long before the establishment of the State
of Israel. It flourished until Israel's 1948 War of Independence, when
Jordanians seized the surrounding land, even as Israel continued to hold
the Mt. Scopus site as an enclave. After the surrounding neighborhoods
were restored to Israeli control in 1967, Mt. Scopus again flourished as
Hebrew University's main campus.

Israeli lynched outside Tulkarm
By DAVID RUDGE


Shani Ladani, 27, of Moshav Olesh in the northern Sharon, was murdered by Palestinian terrorists while he was working near Moshav Nitzanei Oz, west of Tulkarm, Thursday morning. He was buried at Olesh Thursday night.

Ladani was bound hand and foot and shot point-blank in the head in what OC Judea and Samaria Brig.-Gen. Gershon Yitzhak described as a "lynching."

He said it appeared the terrorists had taken advantage of the easing of the curfew on Tulkarm to perpetrate the attack and had afterward returned to the city.

http://www.dawn.com/weekly/mazdak/mazdak.htm

A cruel country

Our treatment of minorities continues to tarnish our image abroad, specially the pernicious blasphemy laws are used to settle scores or usurp property. Scores of Ahmadis languish in jail for the 'crime' of uttering the traditional Muslim greeting; illiterate Christian boys have been accused and sentenced to death for writing supposedly blasphemous sentences; and Hindu girls have been raped by landlords in Sindh in a sickening reprise of the old 'droit de seigneur'.

It seems that the fundamental tenets of Islam include the following: Terror, Jehad, Murder, Rape, Lying, Child Molestation (read on how Mohammed had sexual relations with a 9-yr old girl; dont take my word for it, it is in the Koran), Amputation and the list goes on. Did someone say it is a peaceful religion. Excuse me while I throw up.



=========
As extra information, the phrase droit the seigneur loosely translates to the llegal right of the landlord/noble.

In this case, to rape all who work for him.

The justification and/or encouragement of rape is not new in Islam. As I mentioned earlier, in the koran, it is clearly written that Mohammad forced (of course, Mohammad avers that verily it is Allah who asked him to do it ) himself upon a 9-yr old girl. That is clearly pedophilia.

Moreever, in the event that his Allah indeed asked him to do it, it begs the question: Is this the same God as claimed by Intellectualme who is the God of the Jews and Christians as well. Clearly, I have never heard of Jews/Christians saying that their God commands them to pedophilia.

Not honoring an agreement is also enshrined in the koran. The phrase Banu Queraish Tribe ring a bell?

[Leon Uris]

In the aftermath of 9/11, the most blood-thirsty religion this planet has ever seen suddenly seemed to sprout peaceful wings. Gone was the Jehadi bluster of the rabid mullahs. Out were the smiles and the emphatic statement that "Islam is an absolutely peaceful religion, blah, blah, blah..." It was enough to make every decent person puke.

Lying and treachery are inherent in Islam which is double-faced in its inherent nature. Agreements, treaties are never to be honored because inevitably there were probably signed in defeat. But how can muslims be defeated when Allah grants them victory. Therefore, any defeat, whether at the hands of the hated jew or hindu, is only a temporary set-back.

It is this blatant treacherous side that is often hidden from public view but is religiously practised by muslims. Much as Mohammmed himself, who slaughtered the jewish tribe of Banu Quraish (sp?) after signing a treaty with them, so will the likes of Saudia, Pakistan etc. In the aftermath of 9/11, all these scumbags have done is fought a tactical retreat.

Read on about the double-faced nature of Islam and Muslims


http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/trib...s/s_84612.html

In July 2000, the last edition of Assirat Al-Mustaqeem, an Arabic-language magazine published in Pittsburgh, advocated jihad – "holy war" – against the West.

Ten months later – and four months before Sept. 11 – the Islamic Assembly of North America (IANA) posted Web-site justifications of "martyrdom operations," such as crashing an airplane "on a crucial enemy target."

Like all extremists, radical Islamists speak with hateful tongues.

Militants kill 4 of a family in Rajouri


PTI [ THURSDAY, AUGUST 08, 2002 10:54:44 AM ]

JAMMU: Four members of a family, including two children, were killed when militants barged into their house in Patrada village in Rajouri district on Wednesday night and sprayed bullets on them, official sources said.


A group of ultras entered into the house of one Baisakhi Ram at midnight and opened fire on the familiy members,they said.


Besides Kiran Devi and Ruby Devi, in their thirtees, four-year-old Muskan and two-year-old Mohit were killed in the firing, the sources said adding the militants fled from the scene.


A police party and security forces have reached the spot and launched a combing operation to nab the culprits.


================================================== =====

This is about all that these scumbags can do. Kill women and children. The Pakistani army since its inception has excelled at one and one thing only: killing unarmed civilians. Much like its islamic counterparts in the Arab world (Egypt, Syria etc). When faced with a professional army like that of the Israelis or Indians, we all know the outcomes then.

[NewsGuy]

This from the BBC:

"Unidentified attackers have hurled grenades at a chapel in a missionary hospital near Islamabad, killing three nurses.
One of the suspected assailants was also killed and about 20 people were injured. It is the second attack against a Christian target in Pakistan in less than a week.

[...]

"The nurses were coming out of the chapel when someone threw explosives," Clement Bakhshi, an accounts officer at the hospital, told Reuters news agency...

The attack follows a spate of violence against Christian and Western groups in the country, and comes just four days after six Pakistanis were shot dead at a missionary school for foreigners in the town of Murree, also near Islamabad.

BBC Islambadad correspondent Zaffar Abbas says the authorities believe the attacks are linked, and are the work of Islamic extremists who oppose Pakistan's support for the US-led war on terror. "
