When
Turkish extremists
bent on violence provocatively attempted to
break Israel's UN-validated Gaza blockade
Israel stopped them. The extremists attacked
and injured a number of Israeli soldiers and
9 of the attackers were killed. But instead
of apologizing to Israel, the Turks demanded
Israel apologize to them. Israel rightly
refused until Obama pressured Israel to
apologize (without anything in return) and
Netanyahu did so. Since then Israel has seen
an increasingly hostile Turkish
government do everything it can to make Israel regret
doing so, including pursuing a number of court actions.
Rightfully, it is Turkey that owes Israel an
apology and compensation for Israel's injured
soldiers. 4/14/13
Boycott
All Links to Anti-Israel Media:
The anti-Israel
media are desperate to get you to follow them
online. The NY Times, LA Times, Washington
Post, Time Magazine, CNN, etc. now earn
considerable income from companies that
advertise on their websites. Every time you
visit their website or click on a link to
their website you are helping to contribute
to those ad revenues. Refuse to click or send

Obama
Has a Long way to Go to Reach the Israeli
People:
In
his speech
to a selected group of students in Jerusalem,
the President pleaded the PLO
"occupation" cause to a politely
clapping audience. He ignored ongoing and
persistent PLO terrorism,
incitement to violence, and refusal to
recognize Israel. It was obvious this PLO
centric speech was the reason for Obama's end
run around the Knesset which has upset a
number of Israelis. In addition, his exclusion
of Ariel U students from the audience (no
doubt because of their "settler"
base), and his refusal to offer any hope for
the release of Pollard,
show he has a long way to go in winning the
hearts and minds of Israelis. 3/22/13
LA
Times Owes Israel an Apology:
On
November 16, 2012, LA Times 'reporter' Edmund Sanders
wrote "Omar
Misharawi, was killed Wednesday in an Israeli
attack". As reported below, the UN
recenctly concluded it was likely a PLO rocket,
not Israel, that killed the baby. Sanders is
among a host of other so-called news
reporters who wrongfully accused Israel and
has failed to apologize. Sanders in fact did
his best to put a PLO spin on the subject
questioning the UN findings, implying they
were wrong. The LA Times and Sanders owe
Israel an apology - see also CAMERA analysis.

UN
Exonerates Israel, Anti-Israel Media
Disimissive:
The UN has exonerated Israel
of responsibility for the widely propagandized
death of 11-month-old Omar Masharawi whose
father was a BBC "reporter" in
Gaza, concluding that the likely cause was a
PLO rocket. But a viscerally anti-Israel
media which normally loves the blatantly
anti-Israel UN reports are dismissing and challenging
the findings of this group of UN experts. The
NY Times
and LA Times
used their reports to dispute the UN's
findings. The Wahington Post
dismissed the report as unimportant. The shoddy,
arrogant BBC's
reaction is insulting,
preferring to believe the father of the
victim ("rubbish") over the word of
(normally anti-Israel) independent UN
investigators. AP has been accused of
applying retroactive
corrections to its false
report of the death. This is to be expected
from a media so driven by anti-semitic bias
against Israel that it is unable to muster
the integrity to ever acknowledge its faults.
There is only one response to the unethical
anti-Israel media; boycott it. Stop buying,
subscribing to, or even clicking on links to
anti-Israel media. see

The
Ugliness of a PLO Promoting
'Beauty Products' Company:
When fanatic
Israel hater UK MP George Galloway walked out
of a debate at Oxford University with a
student who has Israeli citizenship he was
justifiably accused of racism (see video
below). Over the years Galloway has expressed
an intense hatred of Israel both in word and
action. He has been an outspoken advocate
for the most extreme PLO terrorists of Hamas.
A hatred of the
Jewish State as intense as
Galloway's is clearly not a rational but an
emotional choice coming from someone not
immediately involved in the Arab-Israeli
conflict. "Hashem maintains a war
against Amalek from generation to
generation" (Exodus 17:16). 2/23/13
"Resistance
[i.e. PLO terrorism] and the Right of
Return" say the anti-Israel
fanatics at KPFK from their studio in North
Hollywood, CA. KPFK was exposed by the Jewish

but this self-described "pacifist"
radio station continues to wage war against
Israel.
Whole Foods and
Trader Joe's remain publicly listed KPFK
supporters. JtB urges KPFK
patrons to stop donating to this anti-Israel
hatemonger and to stop shopping at all stores
that lend their name in support. 2/18/13

Best Buy
is giving your hard-earned wages to CAIR, an
extremist anti-US anti-Israel organization.
CAIR was an unindicted
co-conspirator
in the Holy Land Foundation trial accused of
funneling funds to the Hamas terrorist group.
The US has also identified CAIR as an agent
of the extremist Muslim Brotherhood with a
goal of imposing Islamic Law in the US by
means of "stealth jihad"
on the way to achieving a "global
Islamic State". Earlier this year CAIR
announced that Best Buy was a Platinum
Sponsor of its annual banquet in Minnesota
(see facebook posting below) and according to
the website Islamist Watch,
Best Buy has refused to rule out further funding
of CAIR. Best Buy has not responded to JtB's letter
expressing outrage over its support of CAIR.
Please do not shop
at Best Buy until it commits to stop
supporting CAIR and please write to them at communityrelations@bestbuy.com

Using
Journalism as a Cover to Target Israel at the
NY Times:
The hypocrisy of
the NY Times is galling. David Carr ("Using War as a
Cover to Target Journalists",
B1, B5, 11/26/12), accuses Israel of
deliberately targeting journalists in Gaza.
Carr implies that 7 million Israeli civilians
(for whom he shows no concern) should
continue to risk their lives and huddle in
bomb shelters while a few so-called
journalists go about their busy work
generating PLO propaganda in comfort.
Carr admits that Israel
warned journalists to stay away from the
terrorists. He also admits that journalists
know the risks of entering a war zone. He
also concedes that the buildings Israel hit
"might have included legitimate
targets". He even admits that the US
targeted Iraqi media in Baghdad. Carr did
omit to mention that in the Kosovo War the US
and Britain levelled the
Serbian State TV (RTS) building
in the middle of Belgrade as part of an
intensive 2½ month bombing campaign in
March-June, 1999. And that the ICTY found
no need to investigate the bombing (par.
71-79). Carr gives no basis for questioning
the IDF assertion it was targeting
terrorist operations,
or his position that even if they were, it's
wrong for Israel to do so, even though it was
right for the US and Britain do so.
What Carr does not tell us
is what real journalists
should be telling the world. That the PLO
terrorists were firing rockets
indiscriminately at Israel's civilians and
were using their own population, including
journalists, as human shields, both of which
are war crimes.
Carr shows us here how
anti-Israel he is and what he is using his
journalism as a cover for... targeting
Israel. Subscribers, please call 1-800-698-4637

BBC Middle
East Chief Sharpens His PLO Propaganda
Skills:
Paul Danahar, the
BBC's Middle East Bureau Chief, spends a good
deal of his time in Gaza brushing up on his
PLO propaganda skills. Among a number of
hostile anti-Israel tweets, he criticized
Israel's tagetting of media buildings the PLO
terrorists were using to communicate (see
below). JtB reminded
Danahar of the US and Britain's far greater pulverizing
of Yugoslavian communications during an
intensive 2½ month bombing campaign in the
Kosovo War in March-June, 1999. In one sortie
NATO bombers levelled the
Serbian State TV (RTS) building
in the city of Belgrade (par. 71-79). Danahar
has not responded. The BBC has been widely
criticized and condemned for its shoddy standards
and blatant anti-Israel bias. 11/25/12
Dehumanizing
Jewish Victims at the LA Times:
A big new wave of
LA Times anti-Israel propaganda is hitting
the Southland. In all the voluminous coverage
of the recent escalation of the Gaza
conflict, the LA Times has not published the
name of a single Jewish victim. Pregnant Mira Scharf,
25, Z"L, was killed by a PLO terrorist
rocket fired from Gaza last Thursday
(11/15/12), and her 1 year old son and
husband were injured. No mention by name in
the LA Times. No mention either for Aharon
Smadja, 49, or Itzik Amsalem, 27, Z"L,
killed by the same rocket. In contrast, the
LA Times is daily reporting expansively on
PLO victims, their names, often inflammatory
details of their injuries, comments from
friends, relatives, others, poignant
vignettes; they made sure to note that an
aunt of a named victim who was also allegedly
killed was pregnant,
but Mira's pregnancy was not significant
enough to mention until nearly a week later
as part of an outrageous claim that Israel
"contributed"
to the fatalities. Israel's fatalities were
reduced to solitary references to '3 Israelis
killed' which is now sadly 5 killed.
The LA Times is keeping a daily count
of PLO victims injured but are not counting
the hundreds of Israelis injured (up to 252
yesterday and 28 more
in a terror attack in Tel Aviv today). The LA
Times appears to be following a calculated
and racist policy of not naming Jewish
victims in order to deny Israel sympathy and
manipulate public opinion against it. (below
Mira Scharf Z"L and her son and husband)
This calculated policy of
dehumanizing Jewish victims, reminiscent of
Nazi propaganda, has worked over and over in
the past to restrain Israel's actions and
thereby aid the PLO. So why not stick with a
winning formula? It is primarily up to Israel
to steel itself against media hostility and
exercise common sense to expel journalists
actively aiding the PLO, or deny them access,
or both, if necessary. We can help them by
exposing and publicizing the anti-Israel bias
and racism underlying LA Times coverage and
ensuring that not only we, but all our fellow
friends of Israel, condemn and boycott the LA
Times, the paper, their website, and any
other public or online manifestations
thereof. Subscribers, please call 1-800-252-9141

Support
for Israel is Strong:
Street level
support for Israel is strong in the midst of
the latest Gaza conflict. This despite an
increasingly hostile anti-Israel media
which takes the word of PLO terrorists over
the word of honourable men, and actively
works to promote the PLO cause. There is no
more important a time than now to take a
stand for Israel and cancel your anti-Israel
NY Times, LA Times, Washington Post, Time
Magazine, etc. If your paper is anti-Israel
do the right thing and cancel it and let us
know at jointheboycott@inbox.com -
see Honor
Roll. (below around 3,000
turned out at short notice to show support
for Israel in Westwood Sunday, 11/18/12, in a
rally organized by StandWithUs) 11/20/12
As usual, the mainstream
media are under-reporting the dozens of Israeli casualties
(see below) and prominently featuring and
reporting as fact what the PLO terrorists
tell them about their casualties. Sunday
night CBS News failed to even address the
subject of Israeli casualties after showing a
number of graphic shots of alleged PLO
victims. In any event, since the PLO
terrorists are committing war crimes by
targeting Israeli civilians and using their
own population as human shields, they are
responsible for all the tragic casualties
that result from Israel's exercise of its
right to defend itself.
The
Media's Boy Wins it Again:
No surprise here.
Obama was re-elected with a comfortable
margin in a race in which Romney never had a prayer.
The media made sure of that. While gleefully
exposing Romney's privately expressed and now
infamous "47%"
remark, the media, with the Los Angeles Times
as its leader, contrived to hide Obama's
verbal indiscretions by continuing to refuse to release
the strategically acquired Khalidi
anti-Israel tape and ignoring the issue (see
below). This blatant media manipulation is a
feature of modern electoral times, and until
an anti-media candidate stands up to it, the
media will continue to usurp democracy and
control the process. Meantime Israel is stuck
with another four years of an anti-Israel
President who counts PLO and other Islamic radicals
among his friends, and is unlikely to treat
them any kinder than he did in his first
term, and very possibly worse. 11/9/12
