CAMERA/Snapshots..
25 April '12..
CAMERA and many others routinely expose the subterfuge at the heart of the Guardian's coverage of Israel. This deceit was clearly demonstrated in a correction issued for a photo caption appearing on April 20 which inadvertently revealed that Jerusalem was the capital of Israel.
On April 23, the Guardian issued this correction:
The caption on a photograph featuring passengers on a tram in Jerusalem observing a two-minute silence for Yom HaShoah, a day of remembrance for the 6 million Jews who died in the Holocaust, wrongly referred to the city as the Israeli capital. The Guardian style guide states: "Jerusalem is not the capital of Israel; Tel Aviv is" (Eyewitness, 20 April, page 24).
Israel's Knesset and government resides in Jerusalem. That is a material fact. The Guardian could have remained consistent with its hostile stance towards Israel by stating that the paper does not recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. But to deny reality by stating that Tel Aviv is the capital, when it demonstrably is not, provides an example of a news source allowing dogma to overrule physical reality. It is even more ironic that the photo caption dealt with the Holocaust, an incontrovertible reality subject to denial by individuals inimically hostile to Jewish interests.

The Guardian's view on Jerusalem is possibly because leftist Jews cry out the same, so the Guardian can't then be labeled antisemitic.
ReplyDeleteI just listend to a song by Dame Vera Lynn,who sang during the WWII and a long time after that.
In the song I listned to she sang a song that
had the title "There allways be an England".
I reflected then of the differnces between patriiotism among us Jews and Britons.
Liberal Jews seem to think that for Israel to be an role model, Israel has to give up land.
In the UK one sing of defence not practise defeat!
The weak man or nation cathes the blow of antisemitism, that clings by the ages but the brave,heroic and firm nation scuffs it of.
Tomorrow it will be Jom Ha-Atzmaut, and were ever I go in the Jewish world I would not hear something clear and firm from all of us Jews such as this:
"There allways be an Israel,the West Bank belongs to You. A lions cry is heard so I will know.From Yudah Yakov's Pillar,were ever Jews will go. A united Zion,we fight for You, we can defend on You,thís is the change,fredom remains".
