The Worst Reuters Article Ever

I’m sitting with my mouth dropped open, reading what has to be the single most biased mainstream media article I have ever encountered. Reuters has completely dropped the mask, and their Arab propagandists are doing everything in their power to demonize Israel and promote the big lie of “Nakba.”

Just look at this headline: Bush hails Israel’s ‘chosen people’ as Arabs lament.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - President George W. Bush told Israelis on Thursday they were a “chosen people” who can forever count on American support against enemies like Hamas and Iran.

On a day when Palestinians remembered homes and land lost as Israel was created in 1948, Bush made only fleeting reference to their aspirations for a state of their own in a speech marking Israel’s 60th anniversary that was laced with references to God.

Basking in ovations on the second day of a farewell visit to a country where his presidency is hailed as a golden age, Bush again said little of the talks he has sponsored in recent months between Israel and the Palestinians, which he hopes can bring a deal on a Palestinian state before he leaves office in January. …

Letting Iran have nuclear weapons would be an “unforgivable betrayal of future generations,” he said. By comparing talking with such foes to appeasement of Hitler, he sparked a debate at home among those campaigning to succeed him as president.

Bush described the “bonds of the Book” — faith in the Bible shared by Christians like himself and Jews — as bolstering an “unbreakable” alliance between Israel and the United States.

Of the Palestinians, half of whom were pushed into exile to make way for the Jewish state, Bush said that, looking ahead another 60 years in the future, “the Palestinian people will have the homeland they have long dreamed of and deserved.”

“SLAP IN THE FACE”

The president’s language in Israel has dismayed Palestinians looking for the U.S. superpower to mediate in their negotiations with Israel. Islamist Hamas, which spurns such talks, said Bush sounded “like a priest or a rabbi” and had delivered a “slap in the face” to those Palestinians who placed their hopes in him.
