05-09-07 - Palestinian Hamas takes Mickey Alright, so I believe that this character was broadcast on Palestinian TV. However, if we look at what was actually said, as opposed to the spin that the likes of Fox put on it, it is quite clear that this incident was way overblown. The story originated (very last entry, going backwards in time via Google News search by date) from not one but TWO Israel lobby groups (CAMERA, which got it from PMW). Update at press time (7:19pm 05-10-07), the originating article from CAMERA no longer appears at the very tail end of the search, for what reason, it is not clear.


05-09-07 - 'This House believes the pro-Israeli lobby has successfully stifled Western debate about Israel's actions.' First off, this 'debate' gave the floor to the pro-Israeli commentators for most of the video. It's actually pretty ridiculous that this should be considered a debate. Finkelstein and Cockburn were routinely interrupted and shut down by Aaronovitch and Indyk, and they were not afforded much time at all to speak. Secondly, the pro-Israeli lobby in Britain is not nearly as effective or as powerful as its counterpart in the US. THAT must be kept in mind when watching this debate.

Israeli demoGRAPHY.

Pence concurred: "There is a great deal of world opinion about one group of refugees (i.e. Palestinians). There is a great deal of world ignorance about the other (i.e. Jewish refugees)." Thus does the US Congress again engage in a form of supremacy by holding one group of people supreme over another. Let's all focus on the ones that were settled in long ago, and that aren't still sitting in poverty in refugee camps after 60 years. That's it. That's the ticket.
