This should be good for inadvertent dark comedy; a new Egyptian media organization created specifically to counter MEMRI’s translations of the hatred in the Arab press: ‘We will Publish an Ethical Code for the Arab Press’.

After ranting about the “Mossad” and “exposing Zionist forgeries,” the director of Arabs Against Discrimination, Imad Gad, offers up an amazingly tortured acknowledgment that there might be … a few problems in Arab media:

Akhbar Al-Adab: “There is a certain problem with the Arab press, which deals with the Arab-Israeli conflict in an emotional way, leading to counterproductive results.”

Gad: “Activities are underway for a convention in one of the Arab countries, which will publish an ethical code for the Arab press. In this convention AAD will present some books that the Zionist organizations ‘hunted down.’ [We want to] say that such writing is harmful and that it is not befitting to defend the Palestinian problem by cursing the Jewish religion. We will try to reach an ethical code for the Arab press regarding the nature of the treatment of such topics and in order to dry up the wells upon which the Zionist organizations rely.”
