The LA Times Tells Us About Jews
With Sharon doing so much to withdraw from the territories, the LA Times is just going batty trying to come up with outlets for it's anti-Israel addiction. The longer you're on the wagon, the worse the fall. True headline:
Jews Target Caterpillar Shareholder Effort - Divesting stock because of Israeli bulldozing of Palestinian homes is unfair, some leaders say.
Lets see what Google (certainly not over-sensitive to Jewish concerns) has to say about "Jew":
The word "Jew" is often used in an anti-Semitic context. Jewish organizations are more likely to use the word "Jewish" when talking about members of their faith. The word has become somewhat charged linguistically.
Now, I don't think that Teresa Watanabe is anti-Semitic. She just has no reason to care about Jewish sensibilities - there is just no professional or institutional reason to take them into account. Say what you will about the ADL - and there's plenty to say - they just doesn't conduct the kind of outright intimidation and attacks that Islamic organizations like CAIR do). And if someone was going to start going after the LA Times for anti-Jewish bias there're certainly bigger, more directly dangerous fish to fry - and that's only if one has any energy left after the long work of catching the distortions and outright factual mistakes that the LA Times makes in regard to Israel.
UPDATE: Then again...
