Arab TVs fend off Israeli propaganda claims in Gaza coverage - Yahoo! News
DUBAI (AFP) - Arab satellite news channels Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiya have been forced to fend off accusations they served up Israeli propaganda with their coverage of the historic evacuation of the Gaza Strip settlements.
"We understand when the international media fall into the trap of the Jewish settlers and run live coverage of the evacuation," said Abdel Bari Atwan, editor-in-chief of the London-based newspaper Al-Qods Al-Arabi.
"But we do not understand that Arab channels should fall into the same trap and serve (Israeli Prime Minister Ariel) Sharon's objectives," said Atwan, dubbing the evacuation "a grotesque media circus."
"Arab public opinion cannot be fooled by the crocodile tears shed by the settlers on houses built on stolen Palestinian territory in Gaza," he said.
This is fricking hilarious. Charter members of the severed-head-of-the-month-club whinging that one of their own cult-killer television networks DARED to show the weeping-jooooooo. Let's see more? Gotcha:
The criticism stemmed mainly from footage of the Jewish settlers crying over their lost homes, scenes which were seen as depicting the Israelis as victims, explained Atwan.
And the images of Israeli forces evacuating angry settlers without violence were seen as portraying the army as a powerful and disciplined institution.
Atwan's remarks echoed similar criticism by a number of Arab intellectuals...
That awful screendoor-ripping-off-it's-hinges sound you just heard was my sensibilities screeching to a halt after reading the word Arab and the word Intellectual in the same sentence.
For so very many years, make that centuries, make that millennia, the mommy-but-I wanna-virgin-TOO camel molesters have portrayed Jews as far less than human, and the very concept of a disciplined army standing alongside weeping settlers is too much for them to bear.
Memo to clueless cult-killers wherever you might be. Yeah you, the one with the diaper covering the wrong a-hole, those undisciplined little Joo soldiers sure kicked YOUR flea infested butts time and again, didn't they?
And yep, the last time they sent you screaming back to your tents some of the folks you dropped off along the way...and with all of your oil-billions folks you couldn't care less about...found themselves to be a people without a country. Those same people the Jooo's employed to the tune of over 10,000 workers, 9,999 of which will never have a decent job again. Scumbollahs like Ara-the-rat moved in, planted their scabby asses in broad daylight for all the UN to see, and suddenly a "nation" was born. Right. There are a lot of "victims" in this tale of woe, and sorry you feel so betrayed by the TV station that admittedly is Goat-Fuckers-In-The-Sandbox-R-Us disguised as a media outlet.
We have the same problem here, so as your good friend Jimmy Carter would say, for THAT I do "feel your pine".
Pizza here yet? It IS? Later
