Canadian blasts anti-Israel bias
The head of Canada’s largest newspaper chain criticized coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israel Asper, founder and chairman of CanWest Global Communications Corp., said Thursday that anti-Israeli bias is a “cancer” destroying the media’s credibility. He criticized the New York Times, CNN, BBC and others for spreading Palestinian propaganda. “Dishonest reporting tells you that” the intifada is “about territory, and Jerusalem, and Palestinian statehood, and alleged refugees,” Asper said. “Honest reporting would tell you that it is a war to destroy Israel and kill or expel or subjugate all the Jews.”

We throw hundreds of billions of tax dollars at him to buy weapons of mass destruction - which shall never be discussed, let alone inspected.
We let him continue one of the biggest acts of ethnic cleansing - without comment.
We allow non-compliance with hundreds of UN resolutions, without the threat of war
We misname a terrorist policy of state assassination as "targeted killing".
We call the frequent attacks on refugee camps with helicopter gunships and tanks as "incursions".
And accept their claims of "success" when women, children and other totally innocent people are inevitably killed.
And we reserve the terms "fanatics/fundamentalists" for Muslims, but not the armed jewish settlers who believe they are the chosen people with a right to throw Palestinians off their land because a book written thousands of years ago says so.
Hey, we even let their football teams play in the European Champions league, even though you won't find a geographer on the planet who claims Israel is part of Europe.
Well, sorry Mr Sharon. Our "leaders" might have fallen for your bullshit, but we are not fooled. And neither, it appears, is the Israeli Labour party, which shared the world's disgust at the preferences given to the armed fundamentalist fanatics the world politely calls "settlers".
