In 2008, Reuters published a "fact box” on Jerusalem, omitting any mention that Arabs attacked Israel in 1947 and 1967 or that the Bible records the purchase of the city by King David.
Reuters dedicated three paragraphs to the Muslim claim to the city, failing to note that the Koran does not mention the city even once.
Did Reuters crop the photos?
It was a peace flotilla. Haven't you watched the video?

Isn't a knife just a tool?
I do not see this as a black and white issue, it's a very complex, sad, and misguided issue. And I find anyone who takes a hardline stance either way to be sad and misguided.

Yeah, peace with knives....
What video did you watch?

you know, INDY, you're wielding anti-semitism in the way that you feel others wield racism.
yeah, it's kinda fun. I can see why much of the Left is so enamored with the technique as it sure beats the hell out of looking up facts and debating issues on their merit.
Guess I'll "move on' since the jig is up.

i think Huckabee's wish for all the Arabs to be deported from the West Bank and sent "elsewhere" is racist.
Anyone except for dear, sweet, lovable Helen Thomas who you'll defend when she calls the confrontation a "deliberate massacre, an international crime..." while scolding the press secretary in the White House Press Room.
Indeed. What Huckabee is arguing is to ethnically cleanse the area of Arabs. And whereas plenty of liberals have denounced Helen Thomas' comments as deplorable and inexcusable, not one conservative of note has spoken out against Huckabee's comments.
I think we can all agree that:
1. Helen Thomas's comments were totally unacceptable and she did the honorable thing by resigning. For the record, I'd feel the same way if she had said that the Americans should get the hell out of the United States and give it back to the Native Americans who were there first.
2. Mike Huckabee's comments about the transfer of Arabs, while being good intentioned, is totally unrealistic - it just won't happen.
That being said, Mike Huckabee is a very good friend of Israel and he's even organizing a pilgrimage here in early 2011. He's been here several times and has always been welcomed with great respect and admiration.
Case in point:
We can all agree Helen did the respectable thing, but Huckabee is just being unrealistic and is welcomed with great respect and admiration.
WTF
You don't like what Huckabee said, or you just don't agree that it's possible for what he said to happen? You seem to say his comment is good intentioned, but hers is unacceptable. They're pretty much the same.
2. I do NOT agree with what Mike Huckabee said purely because I believe that the Palestinians have a right to their own state alongside Israel and it is unrealistic to think that it is feasible to transfer them out of here. I said he has good intentions because he's a friend of Israel and what he said he said out of a sense of what is in Israel's best interest.
NOW am I clear??
You are a little clearer now. But you're still being much more softer on Huckabee than Thomas.
Just look, it took you three posts to say you don't agree with his comments. The other two still sounded like you agreed with his comments but they were just "unrealistic"(your wording was actually a little scary).
But why was it honorable for Thomas to retire and not Huckabee?
5. The only solution is a comprehensive peace plan with a true Palestinian leadership,
Mike Huckabee is employed by Fox News as a COMMENTATOR (just like Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck). He gives commentary on the day's events, which gives him more latitude in his opinions (mind you, I said LATITUDE and not free reign).
The thing about democracy is that Israel doesn't get to decide "true Palestinian leadership" or Iranian leadership for that matter.
True Palestinian leadership means a government that spends money on infrastructure and health care for their people rather than on weapons to shoot at us.
As for the Iranian leadership - the riots following the recent elections prove that the Iranian people are tired of this tiny man with the big mouth.
Surely you can agree that both the Palestinians and the Iranians can do better in terms of leaders.
