Media: It’s Not What They Say but What They Don’t Say

The Israeli media consistently skate over the single most important detail in every news report of private citizens: Was the subject Jewish? They never bother to find out, and when they know, they carefully leave it out. It’s part of their war against Judaism.

Imagine a high school’s urgent, blaring announcement to all parents:

“Teenager Arrested in 8A Classroom for Major Arson the Day Before!”

And uh, by the way, it happened to be the janitor’s son. He dropped in on his father sweeping during recess. The son is not now nor has he ever been a student at the school in question (or any other)…

Perhaps everyone is so hyped up on the Ellul atmosphere, they can’t wait 9 days. Or maybe they wish to get the unpleasant chore over with.

Due to our vast readership, one post ought to stop this nonsense once and for all…
