Mon, Mar 3, 2008 at 9:23:34 am PST
The media are in full-scale propaganda meltdown mode over Israel’s military actions against Gaza, excusing and whitewashing Hamas and demonizing Israel for all they’re worth, waging a media jihad to defeat Israel in the court of public opinion.

Our Friends the Saudis
Sun, Mar 2, 2008 at 9:21:30 am PST
No one ever seems to object when Arab leaders spew the most vile kind of delusional hate speech, and tacitly support terrorism by condemning Israel for defending itself.
