Associated Press: "We are all Hezbollah" is Not Anti-Israel
The JPost frontpage is a mix of the Jerusalem Post's own stories and AP feeds. After maybe like a week of reading the site regularly, just about anyone can learn to distinguish one from the other simply because the AP headlines are so obviously biased (why the Jerusalem Post runs them is a different question). For instance, you can tell without clicking through that a story titled Londoners march for ME cease-fire is going to be an Associated Press story:
"The demonstration shows the unity of any normal thinking person in this country that there should be an immediate cease-fire and that the government's line is incomprehensibly wrong," said Jeremy Corbyn, a lawmaker from Blair's Labor Party. Many placards were critical of Israel and demanded an end to occupation of the Palestinian territories. Veteran peace campaigner Bianca Jagger, walking at the head of the march, said the protest was not anti-Israel.
Let's examine that last claim more closely, shall we. Here's another, non-APdescription of the march:
Police said around 7,000 people joined the London protest as it snaked from the banks of the Thames to Hyde Park, first in brilliant sunshine and then in torrential rain. Many carried red and white Lebanese flags and placards condemning "Israeli crimes in Lebanon... We are all Hizbullah. Boycott Israel" read one. "Axis of evil: Bush, Blair, Olmert," read another, referring to the political leaders of the United States, Britain and Israel.
How did the AP get around the obvious contradiction of claim that "We are all Hizbollah" is not anti-Israel? Easy - they just didn't include any report about those kinds of placards. In fact, Hezbollah isn't mentioned in the AP story at all - in their world, it's like Israel just woke up grumpy one morning and decided to attack Lebanon. Liars.
