Antisemitismus bei SPIEGEL ONLINE

soweit ich neulich mitbekommen habe ... ist
aber auch die New York Times nicht frei
von Märchengeschichten (gewesen) ... und
mussten dort sogar Pulizerpreisträger das
vorzeitige Weite suchen ...

Die New York Times ist eines der größten
Drecksblätter überhaupt. (Ich hoffe, ich habe
jetzt nicht wieder, wie bei meiner Bezeichnung
von Schill als "Drecksau", irgendjemandes
Empfindlichkeiten verletzt...)

Ein Beispiel:

Hier eine Kritik dieses Artikels:

Ian Fisher finds a new twist on terror in Israel:
Instead of downplaying terrorist attacks by
Palestinians on Israelis (as the Times often does)
Fisher focuses on hypothetical future Jewish
attacks on Palestinian civilians. Talk about bad
timing: That very day, a Palestinian suicide
bomber blew up a busload of Israeli civilians.

Tuesday´s front-page story, «Israelis Worry
About Terror, By Jews Against Palestinians,«
profiles the father of Shalhevet Pas, a
10-month-old Israeli girl shot to death in her
stroller by a Palestinian sniper in Hebron. Fisher
notes: «Last month, her father, Yitzhak Pas, a
settler who lives here, was arrested with almost
10 pounds of explosives in his car. Investigators
have not publicly linked the two events, but the
little they have said about Mr. Pas hints at
something more than revenge against his daughter´s
killer. Rather, their remarks suggest, he and five
others, including three arrested last week, are
members of a Jewish underground group who were
aiming to carry out attacks on Palestinians.«

Fisher then blames «radical« right-wingers
for fomenting attacks that haven´t yet happened:
«But at the faltering start of a peace effort
opposed by many right-wing Israelis, worry about
terror attacks by Jews is growing. In the last two
years, a top Israeli security official said, at
least 7 Palestinians have been killed and 19
wounded in unsolved shootings attributed to
Israeli civilians in the West Bank. The major
source of that concern, the official said
recently, is dozens of ‘hill people´--radical
Jewish settlers in the West Bank, like some of
those who live here--who present a ‘very serious
situation for the democracy of Israel.´«

He makes a moral equivalency argument between
Jewish settlers in Hebron being killed by
Palestinians and Israeli Jews enforcing curfews
and «harassing« Palestinians, describing «streets
now empty as a ghost town: empty of the
Palestinians who fled curfews and harassment by
settlers and the army that protects them; empty,
too, of Israelis who fear to venture out and those
who have been killed--some 20 soldiers and
settlers, according to the settlers, since
November alone.«

Fisher´s main source is Shlomi Swisa,
researcher for pro-Palestinian «human rights«
group B´Tselem, which compares the Palestinian
terrorists to an underground army. Swisa says
Israelis «don´t need a Jewish underground. The
army apparently does enough to protect them and
does it very hard, for their taste.«

Of course, Fisher´s diagnosis of the dangers
toward Palestinian civilians looks rather out of
date after Tuesday´s bus bombing in Jerusalem that
killed 18. Unlike Fisher´s dire warnings of
carnage to come, James Bennet´s Wednesday story
focuses on the innocent civilians who really are
dying by the dozens in Jerusalem--Jews.
