Selective Outrage Syndrome

By Brian C. Ledbetter · Monday, February 5. 2007 13:46
When news began to break a handful of years back that there may be something going on underneath the Temple Mount / Al-Aqsa Mosque compound that was destroying the history that lay quietly inside the mountain, it was quickly buried and forgotten in the mainstream media.

Contrast that with today, when a similar storyline becomes near-front-page news.

Can you figure out why?

Palestinian workers look at sand sacks inside an archaeological dig outside the Al Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem's old city, Monday, Feb. 5, 2007. In the space of one day, a small archaeological dig in Jerusalem's Old City became a rallying call aimed at uniting Palestinians against Israel. The dig — a few waterlogged sandbags and black buckets of earth behind aluminum walls — is meant to prepare the way for a new pedestrian walkway up to one of the world's most explosive holy sites, the compound known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary.

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. 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.

*How anti-Israel can you get? The media is so biased that they don't even care any more. But then, most of their readers and listeners are to ignorant to know the difference.

Unfortunately, ignorance is not bliss for Israel.
