The Left Buys the War Crimes Accusation

You might want to take a look at the following analyses from the Honest reporting web site. It shows the shoddy nature of the reporting about "Israeli War Crimes.”

I am a liberal in most everything but the subject of Israel’s security and Israel’s right of self defense. The thing that amazes me is that there are those who are on the American left, especially the American Jewish left who are so quick to criticize Israel, even before a full investigation of the alleged incident has occurred.

Other recent example of this type of phenomenon would include Jenin and the accusation of Israeli shelling of a school in Gaza during the recent war.

Of course, we hear nothing from such people about the fact that Gilad Shalit has now been in prison for more than 1000 days.

We hear nothing from such people about how the IAEA last month said that Iran now has 1000 kilos of Low grade Uranium and 5600 centrifuges to refine it into bomb grade material.

We hear nothing from them about how the Iranians last month improved their rocket technology to the point where they were able to send a satellite into orbit.

We hear nothing from them about how that the Iranian leaders rejected the recent overtures of Obama to negotiate.

Finally, we hear nothing from them about how the Iranians broadcast a show two weeks ago with professors from Teheran U "showing" how Harry Potter is a Jewish Zionist plot.

Meanwhile, MJ Rosenberg, the darling of there IPF, writes in the Huffington Post that it would have been a good thing if Chas Freeman had been appointed. In the same vein on his blog, he castigates the America Jewish community for opposing his nomination, the nomination of a man who has served on the board of China's Oil company, who receives money from the Saudis and defends the Chinese response to Tianiman Square.

Freeman is a man whose recent pronouncements only demonstrate a certain instability of personality and thought, a man whose nomination was not opposed by most Jewish organizations, who chose to sit this one out.

Frankly, the prospect that Iran may become a nuclear power really bothers me. I am afraid that the Iranians are laughing with glee at our preoccupation with the economy. This preoccupation gives them the opportunity to go nuclear under our radar.
