E&P dares to suggest that Gaza slaughter is ‘mass murder’ (then Huffpo censors headline)

by Philip Weiss on December 28, 2008 · 3 comments

The discourse is changing under our feet. I keep saying this, people. It's true. Here is the pioneering Greg Mitchell writing in Editor & Publisher–and vocalizing consonants and vowels that you only usually hear in the European press… And note that Huffington Post censors/defangs Mitchell's angry headline here. (OUR JOURNALISM IS BROKEN)

who dares to say the fact that it is a crime against humanity ( if we still consider palestinians are humans) he would be torn off by israeli fans who always find an excuse for the israeli crimes

HuffPo is a disgrace. Limousine liberals who only cruise around selected suburbs, avoiding certain hotspots entirely. Gutless wonders who manage to stand out in a fucking great sea of the same. It's almost embarrassing to watch US journalism curl up into a foetal position on Israel in the last decade. But then US governance has done the same thing, and US justice too.

How are the mighty fallen… a whacking great Goliath felled from within by white ants care of little David, who is so busy busy busy that he can't see the whole edifice trembling directly above him.

Huffington Post is prototypical of the liberal establishment. It exploits politically correct, left-liberal rhetoric regarding minority rights in the US as a power play, but when it comes to Palestinian minority rights in Israel, or the rights of occupied Palestinians (both of which are being decimated by US-financed Israeli aggressors), somehow all of its professed liberal values on the minority rights question go right out the window. To thinking people, this should make clear that the US liberal establishment doesn't really believe its own rhetoric, and in fact subscribes to a Jewish supremacist attitudes. (This is also reflected in the disproportionate number of Jews in the upper echelons of the Democratic Party leadership and agenda setting positions.) It’s ironic that the left-liberals are utter racial demagogues in all other areas except the most egregious example of institutional racism on earth today, and one financed by the US no less. There, where it really matters, they line up with the vicious oppressors. This is no accident. The liberal Establishment is comprised of liars, hypocrites, and Jewish Zionist bigots that merely exploit “racial equality” rhetoric as a means of attaining and holding power. It’s refusal to even acknowledge the plight of the Palestinians, let alone address their suffering, is a window into the liberal establishment’s truly ugly soul.
