It’s always reassuring, somehow, to see that the rest of the world’s media is just as biased as the American media. Take, for example, this story from the BBC.
The headline says, “UN Chief Says Gaza Suffering Under Israeli Blockade.” Damn those dastardly Israelis.
The article continues:
The UN chief has said Israel’s blockade of Gaza is causing “unacceptable suffering,” during a Middle East visit to reinvigorate the peace process.
Ban Ki-moon told Gazans that “we stand with you” as he visited an area damaged by Israel’s offensive 14 months ago.
His visit to the region comes amid tension over Israel’s plans to build more settlements in East Jerusalem.
But if you force yourself to keep reading, you’ll come to this revelation mentioned in passing all the way down in the tenth paragraph:
Among a list of criticisms of the blockade by Israel and Egypt, Mr Ban said the blockade was counter-productive as it prevented legitimate commerce and encouraged smuggling and extremism.
What’s that? The problem is so severe that Egypt, another Muslim country, is cooperating with Israel by blockading Gaza?
We assume the left will now begin referring to the evil, racist Egyptians in the same way that they refer to the evil, racist Israelis?
But we won’t hold our breath.
