WASHINGTON POST PEDDLES PALESTINIAN PROPAGANDA
POWERLINE BLOG ^ | POSTED ON MAY 28, 2017 | PAUL MIRENGOFF

Today, the Washington Post dedicated an entire section of the paper to airing Palestinian grievances and talking points. The section is called “Occupied: Year 50.”

One of the stories is about a Palestinian cancer patient whose children can’t get into Israel to visit her. Another shills for a Palestinian real estate developer who is building a planned city on the West Bank but fears the Israel Defense Force will thwart this noble ambition.

The story I want to focus on is about the difficulties a Palestinian construction worker faces on a daily basis as he must pass through an Israeli checkpoint on his way from the West Bank to his job in Jerusalem. Given the anti-Israel bias that drips from almost every paragraph of the story by William Booth and Sufian Taha, the difficulties may be exaggerated. However, there’s no denying that the checkpoints, as well as the occupation itself, create problems for ordinary Palestinians.

What’s missing from the story is context. The authors don’t explain why Israel thinks it needs the checkpoints and, more generally, an intrusive presence on the West Bank.

The WaPo and NYT has been allies with our enemies for 70 years.

When the whole world, under the Antichrist, comes against the Remnant of Israel, the world shall see the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

And He will destroy that alliance against the Remnant of Israel. Choose wisely, o world. Yeah, it’s a big deal. Bigger than you can ever imagine.

William Booth has long been biased against Israel. I don’t know anything about him except that after reading his articles on Israel and the “Palestinians”, I have seen a continual anti-Israel bias that is more than just a slant.

However, Paul Mirengoff told his wife that he would soon cancel his WP subscription. Don’t do it!

If you want to know what the enemy says and plans, you READ THEIR CRAP like an intelligence report.

Then you will know what is biased, slanted, fake news, etc. and can point that out to others. If you don’t read it, then how can you comment on it?

The PALEOstinians are a people? Or are they a collection of Arabs and Bedouins who lived under Ottoman/British Mandate rule?

In any event, they have managed to convince themselves and the majority of the world that they are the most miserable people on the face of the planet, when in fact they are not.

OK. Let's forget about factual history, truth and honesty and buy into their perpetual grievances, still they are an Arabic entity that has been led by violent terrorists from Ajamin Al Husseini (1920-1949) to Yassir AraFART, (1960-2007).

They are a people who ENJOY and are USED TO being down and trodden upon because they get terrific funding from the West to continue on with (what they call, The “Resistance”) or killing Jews and Israelis on a regular basis. This is their raison d’etre, they live to kill or be killed just like their Muslim kill or be killed brethren around the world.

In about 1917, (as shown in the 1962 film) T.E. Lawrence said: Sherif! As long as you Arabs are a bunch of small tribes, you are a small people, a silly people: greedy, barbarous, and cruel.

PUT AN EMPHASIS on CRUEL

For the Arabs, the TRUTH literally means nothing. They are a rejectionist people who are incapable of making peace until such time that they mature, wake up and begin acting like human beings. Look around you, look at Israel. She has made peace and concessions for 100 years. The PLO/HAMAS, ooops, I mean the PALEOstinian people are incapable of both.

Washington Post pushing Palestinian propaganda is pretty much par for the course with the left doing likewise. In most protest parades you will find the Palestinian flag flying and or t-shirts bearing the name and flag because they're using them to show support to the Palestinian cause.....additionally they pop up at political events when the cameras are running................... Meanwhile not even 24 hours after Abbas met with Trump and Netenyahu Abbas and his administration were calling jailed terrorists “hero's”.......Abbas has no intentions whatsoever of putting a stop to rewarding terrorist's...
