Defining Demonstrations Down

Brian C. Ledbetter · Friday, November 17. 2006 09:08
Good old Reuters. We're being told by whomever wrote the captions to these wonderful pictures, that the Eternally Oppressed Palestinians are participating in yet another peace-loving "demonstration" against the RACIST, APARTHEID Israeli separation barrier, always labeled as "controversial" by the terror-lovers in al-Reuters, even though it's been proven effective.

Take this photo, for instance:

Notice the language: "at Palestinian demonstrators," who are "protest[ing] against Israel's controversial separation barrier." Why would Israeli soldiers need to fire tear gas and rubber bullets at such peace-loving protesters? It MUST be because they're evil Zionist pigs, right?

Well, have a peek at the next one:

"Take cover?" Why would Israeli soldiers need to "take cover" from such a peaceful "protest?"

AH, it all makes sense now. The Israeli soldiers are actually beseiged by violent thugs, who are actively attacking the Israelis.

That's peaceful enough for Reuters, apparently content in completely whitewashing the violent thugs, and perfectly happy to continue to stick to their completely idiotic "David vs. Goliath" storyline, regardless the facts.

In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.
