BERJAYABronner's Flotilla Bias
Ethan Bronner, New York Times Jerusalem Bureau Chief
BERJAYABERJAYA
For The New York Times bureau chief, the latest flotilla campaign organized by terrorist groups and anti-Israel radicals brought to mind, amazingly, Holocaust survivors seeking refuge in pre-state Israel on the Exodus. He also suggested (in the voice of unnamed "others") that flotilla organizers were merely "middle-aged European pacifists." The sum of the "news analysis" was one more example of fact-anemic bias by the paper.

June 30, 2011

BERJAYANotable Quotes
BERJAYA
“Westerners, who tend to treat Arabs with a condescension masked as 'understanding,' may be quick to dismiss all this as a function of anger at Israeli policies and therefore irrelevant to the development of liberal politics in the Arab world. Yet a liberal movement that winds up espousing the kind of anti-Semitism that would have done the Nazis proud is, quite simply, not liberal.”
Amr Bargis and Samuel Tadros, senior partners with the Egyptian Union of Liberal Truth, in the Wall Street Journal, Oct. 29, 2009.
 
“I don't think any country would find it acceptable to have missiles raining down on the heads of their citizens. The first job of any nation-state is to protect its citizens. And so I can assure you that if ... somebody was sending rockets into my house, where my two daughters sleep at night, I'm going to do everything in my power to stop that. And I would expect Israelis to do the same thing.”
Barak Obama, July 23, 2008 press conference, Federal News Service.
 
“The government of Canada has been very clear since the beginning of this crisis that it believes that the Hamas rocketing was responsible for the initial development of this crisis and for the continuing deepening humanitarian tragedy.”
Canadian minister of foreign affairs Peter Kent, quoted by AFP.
 
“I don't think that there has ever been a time in the history of warfare when any army has made more efforts to reduce civilian casualties and deaths of innocent people than the IDF is doing today in Gaza.”
British Col. Richard Kemp, senior advisor on army issues to the British government, speaking on BBC.
