They’re all covering and covering again and again communist dictator and nutbar Hugo Chavez calling President Bush a “devil”, and Iranian Islamo-fascist dictator Dinnerjacket (™ PTBC reader Maureen) bashing America and Bush.
Maybe if the pro-Israel folks at the enormous rally yesterday in New York had simultaneously gotten down on their knees and apologized to the world for supporting Israel, then the liberal media would take the time to cover it or take a snapshot of it for their readers —you know, like they do for 4 days non-stop when 150 Bush-haters or Harper-haters gather.
Thousands of Israel Supporters Rally for Release of Kidnapped Soldiers
As world leaders convened for the second day of the United Nations General Assembly, tens of thousands of supporters of Israel gathered across the street from United Nations headquarters to protest President Ahmadinejad of Iran and to call for the unconditional release of the Israeli soldiers kidnapped on July 12. The international and national leaders who stepped up to the podium also challenged the United Nations to take preventative action against the Iranian leader who threatens the Jewish people with genocide.
The National Solidarity Rally, sponsored by the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations and the Jewish Community Relations Council, sent a message of solidarity with Israel and support for the war against global terrorism and its state sponsors.
“This is a message to the leaders of the world that we reject Ahmadinejad and his message of hate and the immorality he represents,” the executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents, Malcolm Hoenlein, said.
Speakers at the rally included Foreign Minister Livni, Ambassador Bolton, Governor Pataki, Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel, and Professor Alan Dershowitz.
[…] Headliners at the rally stressed that while Israel may be Iran’s primary target, Iran with nuclear weapons would become the world’s threat. The crowd included Christians and Jews from across the country, many sounding ram’s horns as a call for unity with Israel.
“We stand with those who defend freedom in every corner of this globe,” Mr. Pataki said. “We must stand with the free independent people of Israel.”
Is this the media exercising outrageous manipulation of the public? Or just plain old anti-Israel bias? It’s one or both of those.
But on the positive side, from this good New York Sun article (the only one about it in the mainstream media that I can find), we get a solid PTBC Quote Of The Week nomination:
While many Jewish leaders were asked to meet with Mr. Ahmadinejad during his visit to America, all said they rejected the offer. “I’ve been asked to meet with him,” the president of the Zionist Organization of America, Morton Klein, said. “What’s to talk about, when he’s going to kill me?”
General Jack would say yes.
