No words.

Shame for the Israelis that turn a blind eye, instigate and perpetuate these crimes. Shame for the way the USA carries the water for Israel and ignores the state of apartheid that has settled over the Palestinians.

Is it real, or is it Ma'an?

...of certain Palestinian soccer players.

This racist publication is the equivalent of the KKK publishing its own National Enquirer to report on the crimes committed by African Americans against white people.

well okay then

5. Wasn't aware it was Maan. Why do u keep posting articles from such a vile site? n/t

http://www.democraticunderground.com/113461383#post5

BTW I haven't posted from Ma'an for sometime now, however the incitement charges pressed by one of your fav's Itamar Marcus who is an Islamophobic Righwinger on the order of Robert Spence were thrown out by an Israeli court and you know that

But now I'm curious:

1. Why do u say Itamar Marcus is Islamophobic and on the order of Robert Spencer?

2. The Israeli Court didn't challenge the veracity of any of his reports. In fact, the Judge seemed confused when it called into question Marcus not using sources like Al Arabiya and Al Jazeera, which are not Palestinian media. The fact is that Marcus did indeed show that PA controlled media does in fact incite.

during his 2008 presidential campaign

and the Israeli did not seem confused when (s)he threw the case out of court

you read it from another source?

Alan Dershowitz and Robert Wistrich were also interviewed. They're not rightwing hatebots like Robert Spencer.

And yes, the Judge was confused. If you read the article about the case, you'll see the Judge wanted more evidence from PA controlled media to prove that the PA incites. She asked for inciteful material from more popular media like Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya, which makes no sense whatsoever since they are not PA controlled at all.

Afraid to link it I see.

They are not Palestinian media sources.

The Judge was therefore very confused.

New low for you.

On edit, you only posted the link after you're called out on it..always trying to sell
your version first.

I am done here..people can make up there own minds from the links.

Derailing threads with deceptions about a judge's ruling all to divert attention from settler
violence...shameful.

The problem is al-Fajr hasn't been in publication since 1993.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Fajr

I get it, you do not trust any Palestinian publications.

Check out B'Tselem on settler violence and stop derailing threads to avoid what settlers do.

But then again, you're a big fan of Itamar Marcus of..a settler living in the OPT.

He lost the case.

The movie's premise is pretty much entirely drawn from Wistritch's book, "A Lethal Obsession."

As for Dershowitz, his approach to the situation is that no matter what, Israel is always right. Blowing up population centers in Gaza City or Tyre? Israel is right. Imprisoning children? Israel is right. Torture of prisoners? israel is right. Live fire vs. people carrying signs? Israel is right. Forced evictions of Arab Israeli citizens? Israel is right. Sort of like you, though since he's a syndicated writer, he has to couch his bloodlust and bigotry in gentler terms, with more weasel word hedging.

I suppose you think Raphel Shore and Wayne Kopping were trying to make a "balanced" documentary, right? No, they selected assholes who hate Muslims and support eternal war against Palestine to support the film's thesis.

It's just that in your case any criticism of radical Islam or radical Islamists is racist and rightwing.

I'm curious now. Which critics of radical Islam do u find credible? None? They're all rightwing racists and bigots in your view?

Remember, we all hate and loathe Jews if we don't call for flotillas to Tibet?

Who do I find credible? I dunno, I can't say I pay much attention to that particular "field of study," Shira. I figure there's two sorts - critics of religion in general, who are basically going to tell me what I already knew, or could have guessed easily enough... or people who are trying to veil their bigotry as public service announcements.

Surely you understand the concept of fig-leafing, Shira?

...Asks a poster whose OP's are drawn purely from Gatestone Institute, The Tower, PalWatch, and the Algemeiner, and whose original content reads like it came off masada2000.

Best part is, you're not even being facetious, you think you have a legitimate complaint

One that, as has been ointed out to you, is far more credible than most of your own go-to choices, and is used as a source for other mainstream sources.



If you want to say there are creepy Maan editorials? Sure. There are creepy haaretz editorials, too. ever read the wall Street Journal's ed page? Good lord, it's like watching a Libertarian themed Japanese horror movie.

You've failed to address the situation in this news - as in, not op-ed - piece.

Itamar Marcus supports..living in the OPT himself.

...into the feet of a Palestinian soccer player that the racists @ Maan recently fabricated?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/113458740#post35

Amazing how 10 bullets to the feet heal so quickly these days, isn't it?

trust Ma'an as a source for stories.

You know this but you will try and spread this nonsense, go ahead.

It say much more about you than it does about Ma'an as a publication.

I get it, you do not trust any Palestinian publications.

The story was just racist incitement.

I get it, you do not trust any Palestinian publications.

Check out B'Tselem on settler violence and stop derailing threads to avoid what settlers do.

But then again, you're a big fan of Itamar Marcus

and lives in the OPT..settler himself. Also enables the Israeli propaganda machine against Palestinians.

I write this as too often this publication, Ma'an is lied about here and you'll see that when asked, they
do not have a Palestinian publication they trust...none.

He lost in court, Israeli judge found him to be not credible expert witness, that is because he
is a bigoted asshole who makes excuses for the Israeli government.

Judge dismisses credibility of Palestinian Media Watch testimony

http://972mag.com/judge-dismisses-credibility-of-palestinian-media-watch-testimony/78900/

They see through the propaganda, lies, incitement, and bigotry aimed at the Jewish state.

It's why no elected Democrats support BDS, call Israel apartheid, etc.

People aren't stupid.

It's not easy cheering for rotten expansionism and getting slapped down with facts.

documents it.
