Before I get to the meat of this post - that the NY Times (and to a lesser degree, the Washington Post ) actively promotes the views of Arab tyrants, I found the following paragraphs interesting:
"Israel must deal with the settlements," Mr. Bush said, a day ahead of a meeting in Jordan with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Mr. Abbas at which the United States is pressing for an Soccer Dadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16142724823098073038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424214.post-1054710038484326302003-06-04T03:00:00.000-04:002003-06-04T03:12:50.643-04:00Powell's Foul
(Thanks to Malka Young for pointing this out)
In a transcript of a press conference carried on VOA makes a really offensive editorial comment:
"Contiguous means that if you're going to have a state, the people will recognize the state," he said. "And the Palestinians will say: this truly is a homeland for us. Then it has to have contiguity. It has to be connected.

Israel made another painful concession in return for some vague promises of peace. This concession was the release of a convicted mass murderer, one Ahmad Jubarah. Glenn Frankel of the Washington Post profiles him in an article, "Israel Frees Longest-Held Palestinian" You'd think that maybe the releases were only of political prisoners from the headline. Perhaps "Israel Soccer Dadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16142724823098073038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424214.post-1054591894160688292003-06-02T18:11:00.000-04:002003-06-03T07:55:21.993-04:00What, me worry?
In yesterday's post Could it be I raised the possiblity that Bush shouldn't be counted out just yet. I have come to the conclusion that there is a Grand Plan afoot that Bush and Sharon agreed to during Sharon's seven trips to the White House last year. That is why Sharon is going along with the demands of the US. We are in shock that such things should be asked of Israel and Tedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12926957351536455210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424214.post-1054576625979699192003-06-02T13:57:00.000-04:002003-06-02T14:08:53.256-04:00Israel has much to be proud of
Would someone please explain to me why a country with the qualities described below, and many other positive qualities, is entirely and totally pissed on by the rest of the world on a regular basis? Doesn't say much for the world, does it?

On April 27, 2003, Debka reported
Washington’s real, updated Middle East road map, the one guiding its current policies, is thus revealed. Clearly, Abu Mazen will not be let off more lightly than Bashar Assad. This does not mean that Israel will escape demands for concessions, even painful ones, but not before the blight of terror is seriously addressed by the two Arab regimes.

Even though IsraPundit articles reach a huge readership, the audience seem to consist mainly of the already converterd. Letter to the editors of mainstream papers, on the other hand, have the advantage of reaching people who are not yet entirely supportive of Israel. For this reason I attach great importance to getting letters to the editor published, and I try to do Josephhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15066284196814344845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424214.post-1054084349078589612003-05-27T21:12:00.000-04:002003-06-03T07:57:04.900-04:00 PR Wars
In its editorials, the Ottawa Citizen is strongly supportive of Israel, even if this support is often obviated by reproducing news stories from Reuters and AP. I find it very instructive to read the paper’s editorials because they represent the brainchild of people who should know the PR world inside out.
Here is a good example.

Following is the text of the 14 comments made by the Israeli government regarding the Roadmap. The text is appended to the cabinet's decision of Black Sunday, 25 May 2003, to accept the Roadmap (i.e., to cave to US pressure).

Synopsis
The US is preparing to stab Israel in the back - again.
Following brutal US pressure, Israel was forced to accept the Roadmap on Black Sunday, May 25, 2003. This handed the terrorists in Judea, Samaria and Gaza (Yesha) a triple victory: (i) Israel recognized the creation of a sovereign "Palesine" by 2005, without getting anything in return, not even Josephhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15066284196814344845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424214.post-1053832752643743422003-05-24T23:19:00.000-04:002003-05-26T09:45:12.043-04:00 Introduction to IsraPundit2
