THIS JUST IN

In direct violation of my own rule (if I can't break my own rule, who can?) I am copying the following by this Mike Levine who said it as well, if not better, that anyone else who tried to say it. I couldn't agree more. Thank you Mike for saying it so well.
J'ACCUSE..!

I, Mike Levine, citizen of Israel and the United States, accuse you, NY
Times, LA Times, Boston Globe, Denver Post, Atlanta Constitution, CNN,
Times of London, and thousands of other newspapers and TV networks worldwide. I accuse you of gross bias against, and naked hatred towards the Jewish state of Israel.

For years most of you have shown a clear bias in favor of the Arab
Muslims and Palestinians, taking every opportunity to demonize Israel, the only
Democracy in the Middle East, and the only Jewish state in the world.

But in the past two weeks you have raised your hatred to a new high,
while your journalistic standards have fallen to new lows.

While coverage of the earthquake and tsunami in Asia has been extensive,
and your reporting of international fund raising and rescue efforts has
been massivie, you wrote hardly a word about the fact that Israel was one of
the very first to offer substantial aid and send medical rescue missions to
the stricken areas! Within hours planeloads of well trained rescue people and
experienced trauma doctors were on their way.

Israel is one of the tiniest nations on earth, with a total population
far less than many cities of the world, yet in the first hours following the
earthquake and flooding, Israel assembled hundreds of doctors and other
medical personnel, many planeloads of medical supplies, tents, food,
blankets, even baby diapers. While other, much larger, much richer
nations,
were still rubbing their eyes in disbelief, Israel was already setting up
many aid stations in the worst hit areas.

Nor did you report the unbelievably hateful refusal of S! ri Lanka , and a
couple other Muslim states, to accept the entry of Jewish medical and
rescue personnel, although they did cynically accept the supplies and equipment sent by Israel.

I accuse world media of gross incompetance.
I accuse world media of abrogation of journalistic integrity.
I accuse world media of sheer and transparent prejudice against Israel
and the Jews.
I accuse world media of pandering to the Islamic nations hatred of
anything Jewish.

Only a few publications outside Israel mentioned the major contribution
being made by Israel. Only a very few pointed out that Israel's per capita
contribution of manpower, equipment, supplies, and money WAS THE HIGHEST
IN THE WORLD!

Only a few bothered to mention that only a tiny trickle of aid was
offered by all of the world's Muslim nations, nations sitting on half of the
world's oil reserves, nations raking in billions of dollars daily, nations whose
elite live lives of such oppulence as can hardly be imagined by most of
the world's masses.

Saudi Arabia sat unmoved for a week while the world scrambled to raise
funds and send massive aid, then magnanimously pledged a measly ten
million dollars, a pledge which has yet to be paid! Imagine, this from a brother
Muslim state, a state that provided families of Palestinian suicide
bombers with $150,000,000 (one hundred fifty million dollars) during the past
year alone!

Kuwait, the second richest Muslim nation, pledged an equally paltry ten
million!

You people in Chicago.did you read any of this in your newspapers? How
about you good people in Dallas? Paris? Berlin? Melbourne? Did any of
you read or hear of Israel's incredible generosity of spirit, manpower, and
money? Did you read one editorial praising the fact that the Jewish state
unselfishly came to the i! mmediate aid of Muslim nations that have long
called for the destruction of Israel?

No, chances are you did not. Maybe you ought to let your editors know
how you feel about their treatment of Israel and the Jewish people. Because
if you don't speak out, they will continue to believe no one gives a damn
about Israel, and they will continue speaking of Israel only in negative terms,
writing only about how the Jewish state mistreats the Palestinians and
their terrorists.

Join me when I say to world media loud and clear .J'ACCUSE!
