By David Singer, published 22/3/2011

Abbas’s attempt to justify some kind of moral equivalence between land disputes and the murder of Jewish civilians must be categorically rejected by President Obama.

Do you believe that Israel should not defend itself against attack? Importantly ... are the facts you obtain correct? The British have - they will tell one - the most ethical standards when combatting terrorism, in war, conflict etc. Compare these standards with Israel defending it’s own State. Look at NATO. But those already subject to confirmation bias, will only believe the false claims about Israel; claims without basis in fact.

I do not know from where you obtain your evidence as to the Palestinian experience. But given the false reporting by the media, especially from Britain, and the fact that Wikipedia is an open source, subject to abuse, it would be well to verify facts from a number of sources.

One only has to read some of the OLO submissions here to see incomprehensible malice, and the subversive lies promoted about Israel. Why?

When reporting about Israel, the august BBC disregards its own Editoral Guidelines as to accuracy in journalism. These guidelines are applied to every other situation, but not to Israel.

Other British media blindly follow ; the yellow press indeeds rely upon its libel against Israel ... And European media emulates that coming out of Britain. Why the level of interest and constant barrage about Israel? Why the subversion of fact?

Anti-Israel movements in universities have formed in Britain and Europe. So rabid are many groups, that scholars are refused to debate Israel’s position. Only anti-Israel speakers are given voice. How can this be justified? Why is Israel singled out? The only evident reason is that Israel is a Jewish homeland. Anti-semitism (albeit dressed up in new clothes) dear csteele, is alive and well.
