“And the nurses at Walter Reed Hospital would come up and rub my face, they’d whisper in my ear, they’d get close and tell me it’s gonna be okay. They made a difference in my life,” Biden said before bringing up his dead son Beau.
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:
Everything is Israel's fault according to Ban Ki-Moon and the U.N. moonies
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?
The Israelis lay blame the recent violence in Jerusalem directly at the feet of Barack Obama. C’mon, these guys are smart enough to know that Joe Biden was reading from Obama’s script. Maybe even his teleprompter.
Can someone please explain the Palestinians rock-throwing proclivity to us?

Israel National News has more intifada info:
Close to 200 people converged on the Gush Etzion intersection on Saturday night to protest what they called the “Obama Intifada.” The ongoing Arab violence, which has seen a sharp increase in rock-throwings and even live-fire attacks on Israeli vehicles over the past week, continued Sunday morning with riots near Tekoa and an attempted stabbing east of Shechem.
The Gush Etzion demonstrators held signs reading, “Crush the Obama intifada! No more rock-throwing! Stop the building freeze against the Jews.”
Among the public figures who arrived and spoke at the Saturday night protest were Rabbis Dov Lior, Gideon Perl, Yosef Tzvi Rimon, and Yaron Durani; Rabbi Avi Weiss from New York, columnist Dr. Amiel Ungar, Atty. Elyakim Haetzni, Efrat Mayor Oded Revivi, and Kiryat Arba Mayor Malachi Levinger.
Joe Biden got very excited about the news. “That’s great,” he said, “I love Obama’s frittatas.”
