Why Are Hamas's Crimes Ignored by Western Media?

Original Article

Posted By: Judy W., 7/2/2024 6:18:55 AM

The Palestinian Authority and other Arab governments have been reminded in recent days of the reasons why entering the Gaza Strip after the war would be risky, if not impossible... According to reports from the Gaza Strip, Hamas has murdered a number of Palestinians who it believed had indicated willingness to be part of a new government that would replace the terrorist group after the war. Hamas, apparently, does not want food or medication to reach the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip, particularly not via Israeli border crossings. This situation is most likely caused by Hamas's desire to create a "famine" so it can blame Israel

Comments:

I don't understand the attraction the left has for Arabs, and their hatred of the Jews. I suspect that they see Arabs as exotic specimens in the way they like black people who wear gaudy fake African clothes and adopt weird names. While Jews and especially Israelis are people like themselves, but smarter and more accomplished. Envy is one of the most destructive sins.

Poster is correct. Envy is a feeling that is very hard to shake especially when looking inside oneself one knows he has been found wanting.

Because at their core they are antisemitic and pro radical Islam. They Just don't want to be called out on it. Nearly all Democrats in Washington are pro Hamas 'Palestinian' even after the attack on Israel and the atrocities they have committed.

Antisemitism driven by envy has been a long tradition of West European Liberals. One reason they hate Hitler and the Nazis is that they gave antisemitism a bad name.

Which only proves that the mission of the IDF to wipe out Hamas completely is the only solution that will work. People indoctrinated with hatred from birth are not likely to be rehabilitated or become decent members of any society. An alternative is to give Hamas and the Palestinians their own state, not in Israel but in the deserts of Australia and force them to survive on their own. Peace in the Middle East is an elusive goal as long as Arabs poisoned by Islam are free to kill Jews.

several months ago I saw a video of hamas soldiers executing palestinian men who refused to join in their "cause" The dozens of blindfolded men were either shot in the back of the head and dumped in a deep pit, or, for sport, pushed into the pit and shot while in the air. The pit wasn't very deep when it ended. advocates of "the religion of peace"

Western media seemed very sensitive to anything that even hinted at antisemitism, until something flipped in the '70s. Maybe it is related in some way to the societal shift away from hero-worship to fixation on anti-heros; but after the incidents at the '72 Olympics and the raid at Entebbe, mainstream media shifted towards sympathizing with the enemies of Israel, portraying Israeli efforts to quell attacks as a kind of retaliatory oppression. Whatever triggered the change, the Western media are now the primary promoters of anti-Western activities.

Big Lies About Israel 5 replies

For months, Israel has refuted libelous claims of famine in Gaza, as international organizations -- especially the UN and the EU, the International Court of Justice and mainstream media alongside NGOs such as Human Rights Watch -- pushed the false, malicious narrative that Israel was causing famine in Gaza and even using it as a "weapon of war." Israel might have saved itself the effort. No one was listening. (Snip) Now, it turns out, it was all a big lie. There was no famine, there is no famine and Israel has not been using hunger as a "weapon of war."

A major conservative activist group is preparing for legal battles in case the Democratic Party chooses to pull President Biden out of the running before or after he becomes the nominee. The Heritage Foundation, one of the United States' most prominent and well-connected conservative activist groups, is laying the groundwork in case a sudden switch-up in the Democratic roster sparks a legal war.

Last night saw the grim horror of a CNN hosted Presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. In many ways such a spectacle is crueller than anything devised by the writers of The Boys or the directors of the Saw franchise of torture porn movies. Trump himself summed it up best: “I don’t know what he said in that last sentence, and I don’t think he does either.” (Snip) Trump had the honesty, alone in his billionaire class, to see that the experts and institutions and respectable management class were destroying his country, and he had the courage to keep advocating the things that work

Happy Monday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Those of us who have been hanging around the Republican Party for a long time are used to the fact that there's not a lot of fight there. Enter Donald Trump. In his previous presidential election battles, Donald Trump has come out swinging in places where he wasn't supposed to have a chance to fight. (Snip) Because he wanted to win the election. Trump's willingness to swing hard in traditionally blue states is what gives him a chance to beat the Democrats' Magic Mail-In Ballot Machine.

There is a famous quote from Mark Twain that goes like this: “The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter — it’s the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning.” (Snip)Hence why dozens of terms have been grossly misused by media professionals, pundits, politicians, and social media types throughout the Israel-Hamas war, notably these eleven: 1)Genocide “Genocide” refers to the physical destruction of an entire group that has been targeted on the basis of its identity, which is not Israel’s objective in Gaza, both stated or in practice.

During the House Judiciary Committee’s hearing on Bragg’s case against Trump, Trainor will explain that the DOJ’s decision not to intervene in the case sets a “dangerous precedent of local prosecutorial overreach in matters of federal concern” and unpack how Bragg “usurped the jurisdiction that Congress has explicitly reserved for federal authorities” when he attempted to enforce campaign finance law.
The Two Ways to Think About Hamas 8 replies

Much has been made about Hamas being a genocidal, antisemitic terrorist organization — and rightfully so. Its publicly available charter is more than explicit about its genocidal, antisemitic aims — and we would all be wise to take Hamas at its word. Shrugging off these aspects of Hamas does not make them any less murderous or any more make-believe. But there is a second side to Hamas (and other terrorist organizations, both past and present) that gets less attention, yet is likely the oxygen which allows for its genocidal, antisemitic terrorism to remain alive and kicking. Hamas is ultimately a business — a mega-business. Like you and I go to work every day,

On Monday morning, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 decision of Trump v. United States that the office of the United States presidency has immunity from criminal prosecution. Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote the dissent, which Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson also signed onto. It's a dissent that has plenty of people talking over social media, with a common theme of the reaction being "bats**t" to describe her ranting and raving. "With fear for our democracy, I dissent," she wrote in what sounds like a line the Biden reelection will almost certainly take advantage of. She also began her dissent in part by writing

The announcement comes as Kyiv’s weakened and outgunned forces are struggling to hold back invading Russian troops, with Moscow regularly claiming the capture of new villages in eastern Ukraine. “The United States will soon announce more than $2.3 billion in new security assistance for Ukraine,” Austin said at the start of a meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart Rustem Umerov.

On Monday, the Supreme Court released a benchmark decision on presidential immunity, and it has resulted in enough hot air being shed to melt the polar ice caps. Most of the hysterical claims made about this decision are about as fact-based as the phlogiston theory, and some of the most ridiculous claims are the assertions that presidents now have the power to order assassinations of their political opponents. This is, of course, poppycock, which hasn't prevented even a Supreme Court Justice from doubling down on stupid. The people who would be called upon to carry out any such order, though, have a different take on the whole thing

Justice Department officials will continue to pursue the federal criminal cases against Donald Trump past Election Day, even if he wins, The Washington Post reported Tuesday. The plan is due to a view that DOJ rules against charging or prosecuting a sitting president would not kick in until Inauguration Day in January, people familiar with the discussions told The Post. (snip) Officials who were not part of the special counsel’s deliberations told CNN they believed the long-standing DOJ policy against criminally charging a sitting president does not extend to a president-elect.

A San Antonio, Texas, homeowner armed with a shotgun killed an alleged intruder who reportedly lunged at him just before 1:00 a.m. Sunday. CBS Austin reported that the alleged intruder came to the front door seeking entry to the home, and the homeowner told him to leave. The alleged intruder then reportedly sought entrance again, and was again told to leave. Thereafter, the homeowner “heard noises in the backyard and upon investigation, encountered the same man.” The homeowner then grabbed his shotgun and was standing with his wife when the intruder allegedly lunged at him. The homeowner fired one round, fatally wounding the alleged intruder.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is continuing her quest to raise taxes. She is now trying to convince the moderate Democrats and those who are against tax hikes to pass the progressives' tax hikes. For years, we have heard Democrat politicians criticize corporations that employ millions of people for not paying higher taxes. That may sound like a great idea — if it were realistic. Corporations will never pay their "fair share" in taxes. If Congress ultimately decides to raise the corporate tax, that will be a tax on the consumers because those corporations will raise prices to cover their costs and offset what they would be paying in taxes.

According to White House aides, President Joe Biden only has a six-hour window of optimal functionality. From 10 am to 4 pm, that’s peak mental activity time for the president. After that, things go downhill fast, so I was shocked that Biden would deliver remarks at 7:45 pm tonight on the Supreme Court ruling on the immunity case.Biden threw a tantrum, visibly frustrated that the Supreme Court stopped his politically motivated legal crusade against his political rival. It was one of the most pathetic attempts at deflection in recent memory. We all still think you’re too old and slow, Joe.

On MSNBC’s 11th Hour host Stephanie Ruhle and her co-panelists hit the panic button, claiming that the case allowed for a president like Trump to become a “king,” that there are “practically no limits whatsoever,” and tht Trump “can do whatever he wants.” These claims, not only completely false, exemplify the fear mongering which permeated the media’s agenda. Ruhle began the panel speaking to former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Harry Litman, regarding the decision.
