Will the Lamestream Media Once Again Ignore the Jihad Against Israel and the Jews?
A year ago, when Israel invaded Gaza to subdue Hamas after having endured years of rocket fire, massive, frightening protests broke out worldwide. I consider the protests which took place during Operation Cast Lead to be among the most horrifying events of my lifetime, second only to 9/11, yet the politically correct lamestream media all but ignored the story.
Those protests were terrifying for several reasons, not the least of which was the blatant genocidal hatred and groupthink being so brazenly displayed. They were alarming because of the rabid anti-Americanism right here in the West. Those of us who were paying attention were caught completely off-guard because never before had it been so apparent the extent to which Europe had been Islamized, just how radical Europe’s Muslims were, or how little control the authorities have of the situation.
The backlash against the much-belated decision on the part of Israel’s leadership to defend its citizens from violent jihad was also truly terrifying because the media seemed to be complicit. Accepting the pervasiveness of genocidal hatred is one thing; the fact that the media either do not care, or that they regard world Jewry as expendable in the name of political correctness, or that they actually support the jihad against Israel and the Jews is much harder to swallow.
Aside from Hannity and O’Reilly’s brief coverage of a protest in Fort Lauderdale during which a Muslim woman screamed for Jews to “Get back to the ovens!,” the story remained largely uncovered. But much worse than the media’s silence was its complicity in the jihad. Three UK television stations aired fundraising programs for Hamas.
CNN even aired fake Pallywood footage portraying Israeli soldiers as bloodthirsty murderers of children. Never mind all of those real children in Sderot on whose behalf that war was waged, who apparently, from CNN’s perspective, do not deserve to live free of terrorism. Israelis are evidently not entitled to self-defense the way everyone else is.
The AP was also happy to submit comply.
The protests of Cast Lead were, in essence, a global Kristallnacht. Reading the news (on blogs, of course) and watching the YouTube videos during those days last winter was like learning that a loved one suffers from Alzheimer’s disease, that you will have to watch him deteriorate before you, and that his best days are behind him — except that loved one is your civilization. His best parts, the ones which ultimately make him who he is, reside in the gray matter which will become the disease’s first victim — except that those better parts are Israel and the Jews.
A year has passed since those dark days, but the anti-Semitic protests are once again popping up worldwide. Will the media continue to ignore the politically inconvenient story, or worse, aid the jihad against Israel and the Jews?
This rally took place in Times Square yesterday:
Yes, indeed, that is Viva Palestina and their representative: dhimmi Jew-hater extraordinaire, George Galloway. Hamas has all kinds of friends, it appears.
Protests also took place in London and Toronto yesterday. I did not see any coverage in the news.
Lest you should think that these anti-Israel rallies were isolated events, please take note of these other planned anti-Israel protests:
- Corvallis, Oregon, Dec. 30
- Denver, Colorado, Dec. 31
- San Francisco, California, Dec. 31
- Boston, Massachusetts, Dec. 31
- Vancouver, British Columbia, Jan1
- Calgary, Alberta, Jan1
- Portland, Oregon, Jan. 1 and 9
And 90 others.
As the new year approaches, along with the opportunity for all of us to make a fresh start, I hope that this next year will be better for Israel and the Jews than the last one was. I also hope for the Duranty media to stop ignoring or abetting the jihad and begin to hold themselves to some basic standard of decency and objectivity.
I will close this post with a video which documents only a handful of anti-Semitic “incidents” which have taken place over the course of the last year, incidents about which most of us never learned, I can only assume, because the lamestream media did not want us to.

Update: Also read Jamie Glazov’s interview with Tom Trento in Frontpage about the Florida Security Council’s ON GUARD rally on the 30th.
The funny thing that pro Israel commentators never seem to pick up on…… You illegally occupie palestian land…. When Palestine is returned, then peace can start. You will probably say it’s hamas, it’s the terroists! Well the palestians was there first! Give them there land and Borders back. Then you get peace..
“Illegal occupying”….Israel is not ‘illegally occupying’ Israel.
For heavens sakes, madam, do have some wits.
Do you even know there is no such thing as a Palestinian? The “people” never existed. They are Syrians. They were kicked out of Jordan by fellow muslims for attempting to overthrow the government there. Please spout your revisionist lies to some uneducated morons on FAILBLOG or Yahoo answers. Stop being a close minded liberal and pay attention to reality.
Jay Stewart, you are an idiot and do not know history. Jay, do you think this hatred will stop with the Jews? You’re a fool. Even if it did stop with the Jews (which it won’t), would that make it O.K.? Are you aware of the numerous concessions Israel has made? And that they have ALL been rejected? Do you never ask yourself why? You are an ass.(ad hominem, I know.)
I read this post early this morning and could not make a comment; I was crying because of the hatred expressed and how clearly we have forgotten “Never Again”.
This is not the first comment I expected to see.
Well maryann, if I can intelligently disemble your response…..in between the insults that is. I’m really surprised that YOU are surprised, I’m from London and beleive that the Holocaust was the greatest act of savage horror that has ever happenend, so I’m VERY surprised that in this age we have a group of peoples who have their land stolen, their homes and are now forced to live in a massive outdoor ghetto, while the wicked zionists ( not Jews ) kill and rape them. I do not have any problem with Jewish people, I am against the political idealology of zionism. The notion that no matter where you from, let’s say Australia ( like Mark Regev) that you should be allowed to rest on stolen land. So in closing maryann, who doesn’t seem to be able to get her point across without insulting people, I think your comment about making concessions is laughable…..how about this crazy concession, give the palestians back all the stolen land in the west bank, stop breaking UN resolutions, stop commiting war crimess and finally stop feeling so sorry for yourselves.
Jay, dear…come on..we ALL know what is going on in Israel, even though the media is, as usual, not reporting the truth. But why worry? We have a pro-Islamic president…
IF you cared anything for the “Palestinians” then you would be vehement about Hamas, who ARE the perpetrators.
“I do not have any problem with Jewish people, I am against the political idealology of zionism…” Lol..we have a comic in our midsts. It’s ok Jay…you can own up to it…you hate jews…no need to hide behind the “zionist” word anymore. It’s now Ok to say you hate those filthy jews…that’s what you english love to do these days ..hate jews.
Well you know what Jay my antisemitic “friend”…I find great comfort in knowing that you will be drowning in a sea of Muslims as they keep immigrating to your antisemitic country. They will take over your weak multi-cultural liberal culture and leave you a stranger in your own land, a dirty kuffar. Actually I take that back…you will probably embrace that farcical religion as your own because deep down you have no pride and no spine…you forgot what it is to be an english man , builder of empires, rulers of the sea and all that crap eh ? Go ahead and lick your new Islamic masters’ arses ..eh ? Jay…
You British will reap what you sow…I see a lot of Mosques in the horizon…and I will be laughing it up all the way you ignorant ,misinformed ,useful idiot of a fool….
Ah Jay… you English are so pathetic…you deserve it.
cordially yours,
A Jew…and yes go ahead its, ok you can reply and call me a filthy jew…no need to hide any more Jay…no need to hide…
There is no such thing as Occupied territory mr. jay…. History and archeology show that the Jews have been there for 1000s of years before there were any muslims, and the land is called Judeah and Samaria, as it has been called for 1000s of years before there was such a thing as west bank… The only illegal occupiers of the land are the terrorist arabs who are waging genocide against the Jews of the land. Israel has every right to protect its citizens from the terrorist organizations known to us as Hamas and Fatah. Both of these ‘political parties’ exist only to eradicate Jews from the Holy Land.
All Arabs should be offered a chance to move back to Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, or Egypt or wherever they come from. Those who will not move peacefully should be removed from the land. I support paying the arabs to move from the land, but if they pick up arms, they should be removed by force.
The time is coming for Israel to show the world that it is not joking. The boundaries of Israel have been established and there is no way they will return to the suicidal Auschwitz borders of 1948. Once the terrorists have been removed and the Jews return to the land, then we will begin rebuilding the Temple and remove that ugly alaksa mosque from the mount…
More like 2000-2500 years. It was also had a continuous Jewish presence during all that time. Pretty much everyone in the area is either Jewish, descended from forcibly converted Jews, or Armenian. Shoot, Armenians had a huge presence in Israel 500 years before the advent of Islam, yet somehow crazy people consider it Muslim land and call Zionists racists as they advocate throwing the Jews into the sea. They’re pathetic.
I think Jay may be the admin of the Nazi rally website.
bravo
I will take your disrespect concerning the spelling of my name with a grain of salt. You have to go very far back in history, an undertaking I guess is too much for you, to realize that there never was a “Palestinian” land. That aside, if Arab Palestinians gave a sh*t about their poor neighbors sufferring in “exile”, why don’t their states take them in? The “poor suffering Palestinians” could have been given refuge and homes and a good living by their neighboring states. These people are being used as pawns, to serve the ideological ends of Islamists. No, Arab states prefer to let them wallow in violence and hopelessness, encourage them to kill Jews; for generations they’ve been taught that the Jews are the reason their lives are sh*t. Are you aware that when Bill Clinton was president, Israel gave in to at least 90% of Arafat’s demands? Arafat went home and declared war against the Jews. That would be the 2nd Intifada- history counts. Arabs enjoy more peace and freedom in Israel than they do in any other state in the Middle East, and yet you dumb sh*ts still insist Israel is the bad guy. Israel is bombed, it’s children maimed and killed consistently. and yet you still insist that Israel is the aggressor.Islam will not be satisfied until the Jews are destroyed; they have been very clear and up-front about this. Intelligently disemble? I think not. I’m surprised you didn’t mention the use of Arab children’s blood for use in Jewish bread. I don’t give a dam* where you’re from. You’re a fool and an idiot. Someone with more patience than I can respond to you.
Dissemble (note the double ’ss’) means to conceal ones motives, to talk or act hypocritically. What I think this this jerk Jay is trying to write is disassemble (note the single ’s’), as in deconstruct, but I can’t be sure. Funny how the truth, by way of a Freudian slip, will out.
Why is it that so many Palestinians want to travel to Iseal to work if their system of government is working so well?
Why is it that poor countries take money from the rich ones and spit at them afterwards?
Why is it that enough is never enough when a new representative is elected he wants to make an impression by changing the way we are governed?
Why is it that when a writer produces a thought, we search for a word misplaced or something negative to comment on?
Why are we so insignifcant?
Ah what a shame… I can hear a few boos from the gallery because the poor hard done by Zionists don’t like to hear the truth. Then come the insults because they find the truth so difficult. Your ancestors were totured by Nazi scum, you were gassed and starved and driven out of your homes. So you think the way to gain closer on this matter is to do the same to the people of Palestine, I can almost taste your racism, it’s loaded in every statement you make. Maryann or what ever your name is, the fact you mentioned ARAB blood in bread gives away the fact you are a blatent racist and think, if you know it or not that israely blood is more valuble then Muslim or Arab blood. As for me I am just happy and quite warmed by the fact that Iran will one day will be very powerful in the middle east, one day you will not bully and terrorize the people of Palestine anymore. One day is comming soon, one day you will strike and Iran will strike back…. But I guess you would rather that happen, because your not interested in peace or fairness. You are only interested in doing to the palestians what the Nazis did to you. What a shame
LOL. The mullahs are about to get taken out by some 100-lb., blonde, Jewish IAF girl:

can only hope that the inference is correct and that they get the job done – PERMANENTLY.
many thanks for the link.
Since when palestinians considered a race?
But I know who the anti-semite is by definition. Someone who’s capable of saying this: “As for me I am just happy and quite warmed by the fact that Iran will one day will be very powerful in the middle east, one day you will not bully and terrorize the people of Palestine anymore. One day is comming soon, one day you will strike and Iran will strike back. ”
You’re not just an anti semite – you’re a pathetic coward. Oh, and yes, I’AM a stay-at-home mother and a Zionist. Bite me.
ElanaSe
you go girl!
Why has Israel been condemed by the united nation security council so many times?
Why was zipi lvni recently banned from the UK
why did a judge order her to be arrested?
Why did Israel use the banned munitions White phosferous
why did the goldstone report brand Israel for commiting crimes against hummanity
why won’t Israel sign the non proliferation treaty?
Because your a terrorist state that’s why!!
John C. Davidson- “Why are we so insignificant?” We aren’t insignificant at all. Every thought we have influences our hearts which effects our interactions with other people, every day in our most mundane interactions. Or, every stirring of our heart effects our interactions with others. If we paid more attention to the stirrings of our hearts, we might be a happier people.
Go back and lob missles if it makes you feel better.
We must be insignificent to those we elected, they seem to ignore us. The comment above is for our friend, Jay, the mad hatter.
What’s wrong marianne or whatever your name is….. Let me guess, your 45 going on 55…. You have 2 kids in great schools paid for by your banker husband and you live somewhere in finchely. You are a housewife with middle class views darling and your 10 a penny. I’ve been to Palestine and seen the death and destruction. You know nothing and it shows. Ho hum
OMIGOSH, the Humanity!: http://www.jihadwatch.org/2009/12/life-inside-the-worlds-biggest-concentration-camp.html
Ah Jay Jay Jay…I am following your stream of inane commentary…why my brothers and sisters are even bothering to waste their time trying to explain anything to you is beyond me!
I know your kind…very well…liberal leftist…no amount of logic, history or any kind of facts can penetrate that thick skull. You are an amusing creature really…perhaps a Muslim already…or on the verge of becoming one, no ? So tell me..why dont you cut the crap…and perhaps tell us why you hate jews, hmm… ? Why hide behind the ” Oh you evil zionists ! Responsible for all of the world ills! ” diatribes? I can already picture you in your “We are all Hamas and Hezbollah” T-shirt, which I am sure you lovingly wear at all those anti-Jewish..oops I meant anti- Zionist , marches you attend.
An enthusiastic supporter of your future masters. Well you sound like a good dog Jay. Perhaps when you finish pissing away your nation, culture, and heritage to these Muslims
you can come over here and fetch my slippers.. eh..old boy ?
Jay, you mention the U.N. and its’ failure to condemn anti-semitism. Give me a break; the U.N. is an anti-semitic joke organisation and has been for a very long time. At least you admit the holocaust, which is more than can be said of your “brothers”. And siting a well known argument in the “Protocals of Zion”,one that is used to indoctrinate little Arab kids to hate Jews to this day, is hardly a racist attack on my part.
I hope you visit this site often , Jay. Let us know what y’all are really thinking. For me, my hope is that the hatred can be overcome.
Leave him pass on to a site that swallows his foul thoughts.
John C. Davidson- we certainly do seem to be insignificant to those we have eleted, and yet they depend on us for re-election. Also, I would like to remind all who are reading that the American Revolution was an act of treason and the people who fought for America were traitors. Including our most beloved founders- Washington, Payne, Jefferson, Franklin, Hamilton, etc.
That’s not to say let’s revolt now. We have constitutional means; we should use them first.
Also, I would just like to say, that Jay person is particularly mean and nasty.
We need to find a conservative lawyer, first.
Oh, and I am quite happy because I know most of us are sick and tired of being ignored and are going to do something about it next year. How enlightening!
Our last line of defense is the election process, but we just can’t continue voting narcissitic personalities into office.
Take your meds and get lost in your sick world.
Go with God, Jay. Have a Blessed New Year!
Will you post the other rallies? when I follow the link, it only shows Nashville & requires that I “join” to see any more. I don’t want to join that group.
No, Mike, we in England dont all hate the Jews. There are some who do as in all country’s. We are still well aware of 1939 with the mad german. That era will never be forgotten in this country. I understand your anger, but the people of the UK are right behind Israel.
