Christmas Exploited for Israel Bashing: ‘O Boycott All ye Faithful’

PA-based Christian orgs are getting into ‘the holiday spirit’, with libelous attacks on Israel, including the ‘Jews killed Jesus’.

By Maayana Miskin

 

A new report from NGO Monitor reveals that several Christian organizations that support the Palestinian Authority are using Christmas to attack Israel. Holiday propaganda ranged from half-truths aimed at portraying Israel as oppressive to “crude anti-Semitism” based on historic Christian accusations of Jews being prophet-killers, the group said.

The report, titled, “O Boycott All ye Faithful,” criticized groups including Christian Aid, Sabeel, Kairos Palestine, and Israel Palestine Mission Network, Presbyterian Church (USA).

The latter group has published a daily advent devotional headed by a picture in which Mary and Joseph, parents of Jesus, are trapped behind a wall styled on Israel’s security barrier between Bethlehem and Jerusalem. Continue Reading »

Iran’s state-run newspaper blames ‘Israeli death squads’ for Sandy Hook shooting

 

The most vile piece of Iranian propaganda yet. The outlandish theory isn’t clear, but it appears to argue that the attack could have been retribution for Obama’s cold diplomacy towards Israel.

Will the Iranians swallow such gall?

Posted by Max Fisher

 

Iran’s state-run media outlet PressTV, which broadcasts in English, on Tuesday carried a story blaming Israel for the school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary. PressTV has a well-earned reputation for incendiary anti-Israel stories and for wild conspiracy theories, but even this seems a far stretch for the organization, which maintains a bureau office in the District.

Sharks, Vultures, & sex for info: The far-fetched accusations against Israel

This kind of ignorant paranoia enables hatred of Israel in the Muslim world. Most damaging are the numerous unfounded reports of conspiracy theories, which are always accepted as truth in the Arab media.

By

 

Much mirth and merriment is being generated by the Sudanese reports that an Israeli vulture has been carrying out espionage over Darfur. In reality, of course, the bird was fitted with a GPS tracker by the Israel Nature and Parks Authority. The same thing happened in Saudi Arabia last year, when a “griffon” was “arrested” for its role in a “Zionist plot”.

Arab Media’s Dissemination Of Fabrications, Conspiracy Theories

Since the Arabs are generally obsessed with conspiracy theories, especially with stories about sex, this fabricated report spread like wildfire in the Arabic media, both in the printed press and on websites, which all reported it as the unvarnished truth.

 

In an article titled “Why Do The Arabs Prefer Lies Over Truth?,” Arab-Israeli writer Dr. Salman Masalha slammed the Arab media for spreading ridiculous fabrications and conspiracy theories instead of presenting its readers with true facts.

The following are excerpts from the article, which was posted November 26, 2012 on the website Elaph.com

“Everybody doubtless remembers how, a few years ago, some Arab media spread stories about a bizarre Israeli plot, namely that the Mossad had sent trained sharks to attack tourists on the beaches of Sinai. Continue Reading »

Federal funding used for Arab Propaganda: PBS , YOUR Bias is Showing!

CAMERA reports: PBS, which is a recipient of federal funding, contributed to the demonization of Israel on Sunday, in an entirely partisan, factually flawed and unbalanced broadcast.

By Rachel Hirshfeld

 

PBS’ “Newshour,” with host Hari Sreenivasan, followed the direction of the majority of mainstream media programs last Thursday in presenting a wholly biased and inaccurate portrayal of the situation in Israel and the Gaza Strip following the end of Operation Pillar of Defense.

The news program aired two back-to back-stories– one focusing on Israel, the other focusing on Arabs in Gaza– about the resumption of normal life in the region, both of which presented only one side of the situation, completely omitting the Israeli narrative. Continue Reading »

‘Israel Defense Force kinder than Assad’s army’

While the Arab media attempts to discern who won or lost the Gaza conflict, Al-Arabiya draws parallels between the Israeli and Syrian armies.

By Roi Kais

 

With a truce declared and Operation Pillar of Defense over, the media in the Arab world ventured to discern who were the winners and the losers in the conflict. Several papers chose to crown Hamas as the victor, while others claimed that Iranand the Palestinian Authority were on the losing end of the hostilities. Some even decided to draw parallels between the Israel Defense Forces and the Syrian army.

Pallywood: Crying Blond Arab Girl Resurfaces to Abuse Soldiers

Video shows Arabs in Judea & Samaria have brought soldier-baiting for propaganda  purposes to the degree of ‘art’

By Gil Ronen

 

A video that has been uploaded to Youtube shows how Arabs in Judea and Samaria abuse their own children and manipulate unwitting Israeli soldiers in order to manufacture photographs that can be used for propaganda purposes.

The case in point is a situation that appears to have been masterfully directed by an unknown propagandist, starring a blond girl who was successfully used for the same purpose three months earlier.

In August, Arab propagandists produced photos of a soldier manhandling a crying Arab girl – an excellent illustration of the theme propagated by Israel’s enemies, regarding Israel’s allegedly evil military occupation of Judea and Samaria. Continue Reading »
