Palestinian journalists in Gaza launch soft media revolution

 

New coalition of 29 Arab reporters aims to revolutionize Palestinian media as journalists wish to break away from propaganda-filled, gov’t fed media, and produce factual news articles that reflect the people’s real concerns.

The Media Line, by Diana Atallah

A group of 29 Palestinian journalists in Gaza have united to form “Fish,” an independent coalition seeking to revolutionize their local media. The group took its name, which also means “doesn’t exist” in Arabic, from the most important job for journalists: fishing for news.

‘The Toronto Transit Commission has not allowed itself to fall prey to the false anti-Israel propaganda campaign,’ B’nai Brith Canada said.

By JTA

 

TORONTO — The Toronto Transit Commission rejected four anti-Israel advertisements for being “inaccurate and misleading.”

disapearing palistineBrad Ross, a spokesman for the transit commission, told JTA on Monday that the ads were turned down because they were “inaccurate and misleading.” The ads were intended to run on buses and subways, as well as the commission’s shelters.

Proposed by the Montreal-based Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East, the ads were similar to the “Disappearing Palestine” ad that ran this summer in Vancouver’s transit system.

Toronto Star Columnist Promotes Jesus as Palestinian

By deceivingly portraying Jesus as a Palestinian martyr, Star columnist Ken Gallinger’s commentary, an attempt to invent a Palestinian history, was tantamount to historical revisionism.

By Mike Fegelman

 

 

Anti-Israel adherents continue to peddle the fiction that Jesus was a “Palestinian” who preached Islam.

According to Palestinian Media Watch (PMW), “One of the ways the Palestinian Authority attempts to create a Palestinian history is to deny the Judean/Jewish nationality of Jesus, and misrepresent him as a ‘Palestinian.’”

There exists a very real “history war” whereby Jewish history is being erased and replaced with an invented Palestinian history. According to PMW: “As part of its ongoing attempt to invent a Palestinian history, the Palestinian Authority tries to hitch a ride into the past with Jesus.

Speaking With ‘Forked-Tongue’ Abbas Calls for Peace & Praises Terror

When speaking to the int’l community, PA Chief spoke of living in harmony with Israel, but went on to praised a vicious killer of Israelis when speaking to the Arab world – all on the same day.

By David Lev

 

On the day Palestinian Authority chief Mahmoud Abbas spoke at the UN of finalizing an agreement with Israel, essentially recognizing Israel’s existence, a speech he had written for an event in the Palestinian Authority (PA) lavishly praised a PA terrorist whose actions murdered and injured dozens of Israelis.

The paradox was uncovered by the Palestinian Media Watch group, which compared the speech Abbas made at the UN on September 27, to remarks he prepared for an event on the same day that celebrated the life of Ahmad Abu-Sukar, a notorious terrorist best known for his 1975 “refrigerator bomb” attack that killed 15 and injured 77.

Arab Propaganda at work: Jewish worshippers are now ‘Fanatics’

 

Just as Arab propaganda renamed Judea & Samaria to the ‘West Bank’, the Palestinian cause has begun a media campaign referring to Jewish worshippers as ‘fanatics’.

By Israel Today Staff

 

 

The Palestinian cause has made extremely effective use of rebranding to delegitimize Israel. For instance, what for the past 2,500 years were Judea and Samaria, the ancient heartland of Israel, are today mostly commonly referred to as the “West Bank.”

Anti-Semitic Professors Promote anti-Israel Agenda at Northeastern University

Northeastern University’s professors promote anti-Jewish, anti-Israel agendas under academic banner. Tenured professors indoctrinate students, encourage meetings with anti-Semites.

By Ilya Feoktistok and Charles Jacobs

 

 Northeastern University

If they find out I’m Jewish, they’ll target me.

Proudly antiSemitic

Proudly anti-Semitic – Shahid Alam

This is one of a litany of chilling claims by Jewish students at Northeastern University in Boston MA about the anti-Semitic hostility they have been forced to deal with on campus, as quoted in a letter recently sent by the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) to Northeastern’s President Joseph Aoun. First alerted by our organization’s exposés of the university’s hostile climate for Jews, the ZOA’s own investigation has gone much further to lift the curtain on what Jewish students can expect to face if they enroll at Northeastern.

Abbas’ media exploits children by labeling Jews as ‘monkeys & pigs’

Since there doesn’t seem to be an end to the anti-Israel incitement where the Palestinian education is centered on brainwashing & hatred, people understand why Israelis take their state security policies so seriously.

By Connie Fieraru

 

Palestinian Authority TV last week broadcast a morning show featuring two young girls no older than seven or eight who recited what appeared to be an anti-Semitic poem that one source noted would put even former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to shame!
