| By Ian on Liberal Hate (via Noel Sheppard at Newsbusters) In his latest piece at the Huffington Post, Eric Boehlert wrote there hasn’t been enough anti-Israel news on television. Boehlert is one of those fools who think that the press has a pro-Bush bias, and he wrote a book about it too, Lapdogs: How the Press Rolled Over For Bush. He’s deranged, we have that down pat, but now we know he is also an anti-Semite: I was surprised yesterday afternoon when a Reuters article popped onto my computer screen reporting that 53 Lebanese civilians had been killed by Israeli forces, part of the suddenly chaotic two-front battle Israel’s military is fighting in the Middle East. Surprised, because I had been monitoring the day’s events on CNN and hadn’t heard much about that kind of swelling Lebanese death toll. Thanks to CNN, I’d learned that Israeli forces had bombed Beirut International Airport and a blockade was in place to cut off Lebanon’s ports, that president Bush announced Israel had the right to defend herself, that Hezbollah had fired missiles into the seaside city of Haifa, and that an Israeli woman in Nahariya had been killed amidst the cross-border violence. But I hadn’t learned many details about the more than four dozen civilians in Lebanon being killed, a fact that struck me as central to the unfolding story. Read the rest of his anti-Israel article; it’s quite the disgusting one. If there is any party that makes Jews feel uncomfortable, it would be the Democrats. |
