Killed in Unrest

 I cannot emphasize enough how dishonest the mainstream media are. What might shock some of you is that this has been the case almost from the beginning of broadcast television. Walter Cronkite (“The Most Trusted Man in America”) was a left-wing hack dedicated to liberalism in his day. Declaring the Vietnam War unwinnable after spending a few days in-country, Cronkite told the public what he wanted them to hear.

Peter Jennings, hours after 9/11, began formulating a plan to whitewash Islam.

They had ideological forefathers. Walter Duranty, the infamous New York Times columnist, ran a series of gushing reports from the Soviet Union in the 1930s…at precisely the time Stalin was ramping-up the murder of his own people.

With the advent of the Internet, an explosion of false reporting and lying threatens to drown our culture.

Reuters, the news agency, published an article on May 6 that whitewashes the filthy murderers of Israelis. Reporting on the blood payments made to the families of Palestinian murderers, writers (radio man Chris Plante would call them the more accurate “typists”) Rami Ayyub and Ali Sawafta stated:

“Palestinian leaders on Friday vowed to defy a new Israeli military order which they fear could lead to the confiscation of money destined for prisoners, their relatives and the families of those killed in unrest.”

Killed in unrest?

That line is fiendish. Those “killed in unrest” were eliminated so that they wouldn’t kill more.

As CAMERA points out:

“At no point does the article indicate that the payments benefit the families of suicide bombers and other terrorists killed as they were carrying out deadly terror attacks against Israelis.

“Thus, for instance, among the beneficiaries of the PA payments is family of Izz al-Din Shuheil al-Masri, the suicide bomber who murdered 15 civilians, nearly half of them children, in the Sbarro pizzeria in Jerusalem on Aug. 9, 2001. According to Reuters, al-Masri was ‘killed in unrest.’

“Also among ‘those killed in unrest’ is Abdel-Basset Odeh who walked into the Park Hotel in Netanya on March 27, 2002, and as guests were gathered for their Passover seder, exploded himself, killing 30 people, including elderly Holocaust survivors, and injuring 140.

“Also ‘killed in unrest’ is Saeed Hotari who blew himself up outside the Dolphinarium disco in Tel Aviv on June 1, 2001 murdering 21 people, mostly teenagers, and injuring 120.”

These filthy killers are lionized by the media, who are just as immoral. They don’t actively murder Jews, but they approve of it.

I’ve seen firsthand the effects of the homicide bombers in Jerusalem. I wonder if Reuters or Christiane Amanpour or others of their ilk would feel differently if the Muslim murderers targeted them.

In the context of where we are in history—on the Bible prophecy timeline—we must always remember that this old world is running down. As much as we long for it, there won’t be real justice for the Jewish people in this life. Whether it’s media types or filthy murderers, Jews will still be targeted.

Let’s dedicate ourselves more than ever to being a friend to the Israeli people and to Jews everywhere, so that they know they are not alone.

I met Sarah Stern years ago, as a book editor. A pro-Israel activist in our nation’s capital, Sarah has spent decades lobbying for Israel on Capitol Hill. Her experience with other such organizations led her to form EMET (“Truth” in Hebrew) and believe me, the group does tremendous work. I highly recommend that you check them out; their regular webinars are extremely informative, and with people like Alex Grobman, Frank Gaffney, and Seth and Sherri Mandell on her advisory board, Sarah has it covered.

I was thrilled then this week to learn that seven GOP congressmen have sent a letter to the Jordanians that sanctions are coming unless the “Kingdom” stands down on extradition requests for a terrorist that murdered innocents in the 2001 bombing of a Jerusalem restaurant. Among the victims was American citizen Malki Roth, a 15-year-old. Her parents have been tireless in seeking justice for their daughter.

The terrorist, Ahlam Al-Tamimi, was involved in plotting the bombing of the Sbarro pizzeria. She was convicted of her involvement and sentenced to life I prison in Israel, but was released in a prisoner exchange in 2011. How disgusting. Since then, she has become a celebrity for Jew haters, and her chilling visage can be seen online.

My friend Dexter Van Zile of CAMERA has also been tireless in circulating the Roth’s efforts on social media.

I’ve never been a fan of Jordan’s King Abdullah, and I hope this effort will yield results. Jordan needs to allow the extradition of the fiendish Al-Tamimi.

From an EMET press release:

“Ms. Tamimi was the mastermind of the Sbarro Pizzeria bombing on August 9, 2001, which killed 15 people, including 8 children, and wounded 121 others. Among those killed were two American citizens, Malki Roth, (15), and Judith Greenbaum, (31), who was pregnant at the time. A third American, Chana Nachenberg, has remained in a permanent vegetative state ever since.

“Ms. Tamimi openly takes credit for her part in selecting the site of the attack and has bragged about it multiple times.

“In March of 2017, the United States asked for Tamimi’s extradition from Jordan to face a trial on our shores and to serve out her punishment on American soil. The Jordanian government has refused, claiming that the U.S. has no Extradition Treaty with Jordan. It is the position of the American government that we do have an Extradition Treaty with the Hashemite Kingdom, and that it was signed on March 28, 1995.”

Once the killer was freed, she became a celebrity:

“Ms. Tamimi was traded in October of 2011 for the captured Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit, as one of 1,027 terrorists with blood on their hands. When she was released to Jordan, she was welcomed like a conquering hero, showered with flowers and was even given her own weekly television show in Amman, by Hamas, where she became a role model for future Islamic terrorists.”

Thank you to EMET for advocating for American and Israeli victims of terrorism. We stand with you.
