WHAT THE POST WON'T POST

The Washington Post, in its Standards and Ethics, committed itself to
“an aggressive, responsible and fair pursuit of the truth,” so that the
reader may be “without fear of any special interest,” but it has
abandoned its pledge. Pursuant to the recent wave of deadly Palestinian
attacks against Israelis, the newspaper’s Beirut correspondent Hugh
Naylor had utterly ignored the terror victims’ horrific sufferings and,
instead, focused on the discomfort claimed by Palestinians.
Since
September 2015, four hundred and forty-four Jews have been injured,
some quite seriously, and 34 killed in what the Palestinians arrogantly
call the Knife Intifada. There were also at least 851 stone-throwings
and 337 petrol bomb-throwings, with many more that had gone unreported.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, a despicable, deceitful man who
indoctrinates his people from toddlerhood to hate Jews, incites them to
attack and kill civilians with an assortment of weaponry (knives, axes,
meat cleavers, screwdrivers). This time the fabricated threat is that
Israel was plotting to close down the Al Aqsa Mosque.
Israel
is a democracy, however, and under Israeli rule, no religious group has
ever been deprived of visiting its sacred sites. By contrast, during
the 19 years of Jordanian rule, Jews were forbidden entry and Christians
were under such strict government repression that they were forced to
emigrate, severely dwindling the Christian population. When the Jews
regained East Jerusalem in 1967, all but one of 35 synagogues were
completely ravaged and used for stables and filth, Jewish tombstones on
the Mount of Olives cemetery were broken, and holy books burned. More
than mere vandalism or the allegation that they must destroy idols,
these behaviors are intended to erase the memory and proof of existence
of all religions but Islam.
